Charlie Black:
I don't see how you can stand him. You're always complaining about people being frauds and phoneys. This guy is the phoney of the decade, yet you act as he were your long-lost best friend. Nick Smith:
Tom's hardly a phoney. Just mildly deluded. He's a perfectly nice guy. Charlie Black:
That's just another aspect of his phoniness. He's a terrible phoney, and when he's not being a phoney, he's a bastard. Nick Smith:
Oh, come on. Charlie Black:
You saw how he treated Audrey last night. Nick Smith:
Well, Audrey seems to have forgotten it. Charlie Black:
She has to act that way. Otherwise it would be even more humiliating. But I don't have to pretend Tom Townsend is a nice guy. Nick Smith:
You're really gaga about Audrey, aren't you? Charlie Black:
If by "gaga" you mean, do I like her? Yes, I do. Nick Smith:
Well, why don't you do something about it, instead of just going on and on about what a bastard Tom Townsend is. Charlie Black:
What do I do? Declare myself? That would be an absolute disaster. I don't think I haven't thought about these things. But I think if the situation could just continue as it has been, they gradually, over time, it'd grow into something more. That, at least, is what I've been hoping for

That doesn't mean anything
00:00:04.047 --> 00:00:06.529
What an appalling story Yep
00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:08.539
Not many people could know about it
00:00:08.641 --> 00:00:11.041
Von Sloneker could hardly show his face around here
00:00:11.143 --> 00:00:14.044
You really showed up Cynthia Whew Yeah
00:00:14.146 --> 00:00:16.273

00:00:16.382 --> 00:00:18.282
What do you mean
00:00:18.384 --> 00:00:20.545
There is no Polly Perkins What
00:00:20.653 --> 00:00:23.781
There's no girl I made it up You're kidding
00:00:23.889 --> 00:00:27.381
I couldn't let Cynthia get away with that nonsense about Von Sloneker
00:00:27.493 --> 00:00:32.396
And basically it's all true I mean Von Sloneker's doing those kinds of things all the time
00:00:32.498 --> 00:00:35.592
Though Polly Perkins is essentially a composite
