Julia Brougham:
Why don't you show us the manuscript of your book, professor? Will you? Prof. Wutheridge:
My book? Julia Brougham:
Yes, please. Prof. Wutheridge:
Oh, no, no, no, no. Dudley:
You're writing one? Prof. Wutheridge:
Yes. [... then gives Dudley a suspicious look] Prof. Wutheridge:
You didn't know? Dudley:
You didn't tell me. Prof. Wutheridge:
I described that book in detail in the course of lectures I gave at the university in Vienna. *All* my pupils heard me. Prof. Wutheridge:
[turning to Julia]
Now I'm certain this fellow's an impostor. Dudley:
Oh, *that* book? I thought you'd finished that years ago. Prof. Wutheridge:
I'll tell you... I'll tell you about my book. For 20 years I've been talking about it. I've been promising the publishers that it would be delivered next spring. The funny part of it is, in all that time, I haven't written one word. Not one word. Julia Brougham:
Why not? Prof. Wutheridge:

Once I was madly... Once I was madly in love with a girl. My friends, she was a vision of delight. A pure enchantress. Julia Brougham:
Why, you've never told me about that. Prof. Wutheridge:
No, that's just the trouble. I never told her about it either. I couldn't find the words. So she married an athlete. A great hulking oaf who never even reached the eighth grade. But he knew how to say, "I love you." Same trouble with my book. Can't find the words
