“Pictures are entertainment, messages should be delivered by Western Union.”
“If you're not very busy, a grown man in the uniform of a Western Union boy should make you feel a little sick.”
“Read the great stuff, but read the stuff that isn't so great, too. Great stuff is very discouraging. If you read only Beckett and Chekhov, you'll go away and only deliver telegrams for Western Union.”
“What are the messages that you are entertaining?”
“I swear...I'll deliver the message for the love of my country.”
“Sadly, we give little thought or consideration to the messages that we entertain.”
