Antheil:
I was just reading your play. I liked a lot of it. I don't like the main character, though. This Marine. Sounds like a real jellyfish. I guess you're supposed to like him because he's against The Marine Corps. Is that it? John Converse:
Something like that. Antheil:
Why doesn't he *do* something? I mean, go over the hill, refuse an order. I couldn't sympathize with a character like that. John Converse:
Not everyone did. Antheil:
The Marine in the play, that supposed to be you? John Converse:
No. Antheil:
Maybe a little? John Converse:
Maybe on some level. Antheil:
Um-hmn. You know what I think, "on some level"? I think you're the kind of wise cocksucker that writes a tear-jerk play against The Marines and then turns around and smuggles a shitload of heroin into this country
