David Dobel: As you go through life, Falk, there will be no shortage of people who will tell you how to live. They'll have all the answers for you, what you should do, what you shouldn't do. Don't argue with them. You know, say "Yes, that's a brilliant, brilliant idea," and then do what you want. And whenever you're right, strive for originality. But if you have to steal, steal from the best. Oh, oh, and if you take very good care of your styptic pencil and dry it after every shave, it will last longer than most relationships that you're in.

and remembered very fondly our afternoons In Central Park. In life, they'll be no shortage of people who'll tell you how to live. They'll have all the answers... what you should do and not do. Don't argue with them. Say, "Yes, that's a brilliant idea," and do what you want. Whenever you write, strive for originality, but if you have to steal, steal from the best. And if you take very good care of your styptic pencil and dry it after every shave, it'll last longer than most relationships you're in. The semlnal joke about Dobel Is the old one-llner: That even a clock that's broken Is rlght twlce a day. Dobel had a real sense of Irony and would have appreclated that I got one last, to use hls word, adventltlous gllmpse of Amanda as I was leavlng for JFK. The doctor! I knew that doctor was hot for her. What'd you say? I was just saying how strange life is, how full of inexplicable mystery. Well, you know, it's like anything else.
