Liz Hamilton: What are you going to do with it, get it published?
Merry Noel Blake: I was going to ask you...
Liz Hamilton: Go ahead, ask!
Merry Noel Blake: I don't like your tone, Liz.
Liz Hamilton: What is the matter with my tone? The New York review of books said I was a master of irony!
Merry Noel Blake: Oh, drink your gin and go to sleep!
Liz Hamilton: You want me to show the book to Jules Levi.
Merry Noel Blake: Well, I want you to do whatever you think is right...
Liz Hamilton: Jules Levi is the wrong man for you, Merry. Too much expensive tailoring. He's like an apple the butler polishes every day.
Merry Noel Blake: He's the most impressive publisher in New York.
Liz Hamilton: Let's say he's impressed.
Merry Noel Blake: Liz, would you show the book to Jules Levi, and tell him it may not be some translation from the Russian and I haven't escaped from behind the iron curtain, but I do know what it feels like...
Liz Hamilton: ...to have feelings! You know what it feels like to have feelings! Well, that is worth money in the pocket! But not Jules Levi's pockets! He doesn't have any pockets! Too much expensive tailoring
