This is funny. You would like this. Listen, they're cutting words out of, you know, they're saying we shouldn't use certain words. Like there are eight different gender words. But one of the words that they're trying to cut out is prostitutes. And that's such a useful word in Washington. Yeah.
Yeah, there's so many men.
Oh, well, you know, originally Truman Capote wanted it to be Marilyn Monroe, which would have made, well, it would have made more sense because she's supposed to be kind of a hillbilly and a singer. Right, right. You know, and because it was Audrey Hepburn, they completely whitewashed what she did for a living. So you just thought she was a party girl.
Okay, so they give her... So you didn't believe the washroom thing.
But tell me what other movies you've been watching.
Oh, I love that. Except for her wig. It makes her look like George Washington.
Yeah, I love Barbara Stanwyck. She's that cute. She was my dad's favorite actress. She has a sexy way about her.
Yeah. Because it's always...
It's a great plot. Yeah. The woman's a vixen and the guy's a sap.
You've got to watch Out of the Past. That's my favorite.
Yes, but it gets a little twist at the end. It's Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas, our old friend, and Jane Greer. It's the perfect film noir.
Yeah, I based my whole... When I started in journalism, it was mostly men, and I was terrified. So I would watch film noir to see how the women kind of dominated, you know, and take tips from them. Not as a femme fatale, but as... somebody, you know, they would always come in and say something like, quite the hacienda, or they'd say something that would put the men back on their heels.
So I wanted to be coached by these very strong women.
Right.
But she didn't mean it, Bill. But they're not.
Oh, my God, wait.
I love you giving the plot of classic movies to another.
This is like masterpiece theater, sort of.
It's like, you know, this plot goes back to Macbeth. Macbeth had a nice boss, but the wife said, no, you've got to kill him. Take his job. You're right.
No.
