- Where did he call you from?

- I don't know.

- I think I have got an idea. He called from out of town.

- Out of town? Where?

- Philadelphia.

- What's he doing in Philadelphia?

- Well, there's an opening on the Philadelphia Inquirer... the book section and Don wrote them, he wired them and I think this morning he just took an early train.

- Oh. Why, he didn't tell me a word about it.

- I'm not supposed to tell you either. He wanted it to be a surprise.

- He did?

- Yes.

- He probably couldn't meet the right people right away, missed a train. You know how it is.

- Oh, it would be just wonderful if he got the job and started working. Or would it, Wick, with him in Philadelphia and me in New York?

- Don't ever tell him I said that though, will you?

- Of course not.

- I can never understand why somebody like Don, a person with such talent, such flashes of real brilliance...

- Where did that bottle come from?

- It just rolled out.

- From under the couch?

- Yes, Helen.

Yeah. I know. I know a lot of guys like that. They take a bottle and put it on the shelf. All they want is just to look at it. They won't even carry a corkscrew along, just to make sure. Then, all of a sudden... they grab the bottle and bite off the neck.
The only way to start is to stop. There is no cure besides just stopping.
