[J. Edgar Hoover and Helen Gandy are on a date in the public library]
J. Edgar Hoover:
Well, would you like to stay here, or go somewhere else?
Helen Gandy:
It's up to you.
Helen Gandy:
[Edgar chuckles and makes an attempt to kiss Helen]
Mr. Hoover. I'm not sure where you think this is headed.
J. Edgar Hoover:
Right, of course. Miss Gandy.
[Edgar holds out his hand to hers and gets on one knee]
J. Edgar Hoover:
I know we've only known each other a brief time, but you would make the finest of companions. Your strength, and your character, and your education.
Helen Gandy:
Are you poking fun at me?
J. Edgar Hoover:
No. No, no, no. No, no, of course not.
Helen Gandy:
Then please, Mr. Hoover, stand up.
J. Edgar Hoover:
I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't share this with any of the other women at the typing pool.
Helen Gandy:
No, of course not.
J. Edgar Hoover:
All right. May I ask what - what - what particular flaw you seem to find in my character?
Helen Gandy:
No. We just met.
J. Edgar Hoover:
Right, of course. But I believe that I am a fast and accurate judge of character. We've gone out three times, but I don't need more. Most people do, but I don't. I see people right off for what they are. And please, call me Edgar. It's what my mother uses.
Helen Gandy:
Edgar?
J. Edgar Hoover:
Yes?
Helen Gandy:
Can you keep a secret?
J. Edgar Hoover:
Yes. Of course. You have my word.
Helen Gandy:
I'm not interested in getting married. My work comes first.
J. Edgar Hoover:
Hmm. Then perhaps you would consider a position as my personal secretary.
Helen Gandy:
[chuckles and nods]
Yes.
J. Edgar Hoover:
[Edgar smiles]
Shall we.
