The President: How did you get to be a translator, Buck? You don't seem the academic type. Buck: [nervously] I guess I have a talent for languages, sir. I hear a language once I pick it right up. I don't even know how. They found out about it in the Army. The President: You sound sorry they did. Buck: No, sir. It's a very interesting job. [pauses] Buck: That is, most of the time. The President: Well, you did a good job today, Buck. Buck: Thank you, sir. All I did was repeat what he said. The President: You didn't freeze up. Another man might have. Buck: You're the one who didn't, sir. The President: I wonder what it's like outside? Looked like rain before. Buck: The radio said it would clear by the afternoon.
