Douglas Fairbanks:
A man came to see me the other day. Charlie Chaplin:
Oh? A corset salesman? Douglas Fairbanks:
I sent him. Your paunch is in need of help. He was the FBI, old darling. Said he knew what a loyal American I was. He wondered if everyone else felt the same way. I just sat there and let him work his way around to you, which he did. He asked were you a member of the Communist Party. I said that was an absolute impossibility. Charlie Chaplin:
Because I love America. Douglas Fairbanks:
Because you're too cheap to pay the dues
