Assistant Prefect:
Here's the American journalist you sent for. Reagan, the American Reporter:
[to Assistant]
Hiya, kid. [to Rosset] Reagan, the American Reporter:
Hello, chief. Prefect Rosset:
Ah, Monsieur Regan. You're the gentleman who's going to cover this execution? Reagan, the American Reporter:
Yeah, I wish they'd cover it so I can't see it. You know I got a weak stomach. Prefect Rosset:
This Rollo is an American. Reagan, the American Reporter:
Yes, that's why it'd make a good story for our paper. Prefect Rosset:
The fact is we're anxious to avoid undue sensationalism in the American papers. Reagan, the American Reporter:
Oh, I know what you mean. I'll use a soft pencil. Prefect Rosset:
Thank you. And if as you say your nerves are a little weak, I suggest you bring a flask of cognac. Reagan, the American Reporter:
Nah, gin, chief. Gin for executions, beer for birthdays, wine for weddings, and champagne... [kisses fingertips] Reagan, the American Reporter:
oh ho, champagne! Prefect Rosset:
For what? Reagan, the American Reporter:
You ask that and you're a Frenchman?
