Zelda Fitzgerald
- F. Scott Fitzgerald: Greetings and salutations. You'll forgive me, I've been mixing grain and grappa. Now this is a writer, Gil, yes?
- Gil: Gil Pender.
- F. Scott Fitzgerald: Gil Pender.
- Ernest Hemingway: Hemingway.
- Gil: Hemingway?
- Ernest Hemingway: You like my book.
- Gil: Liked? I loved, all your work.
- Ernest Hemingway: Yes, it was a good book because it was an honest book, and that's what war does to men. And there's nothing fine and noble about dying in the mud unless you die gracefully, and then it's not only noble but brave.
- Zelda Fitzgerald: Did you read my story? What'd you think?
- Ernest Hemingway: There was some fine writing in it, but it was unfulfilled.
- Zelda Fitzgerald: I might have known you'd hate it.
- Zelda Fitzgerald: I know, I could be one of the great writers of musical lyrics, not that I can write melodies and I try. And then I hear the songs he writes and I realize I'll never write a great lyric and my real talent lies in drinking.
- F. Scott Fitzgerald: Sure does
- Zelda Fitzgerald: You have a glazed look in your eye. Stunned. Stupefied. Anesthetized. Lobotomized.
- Gil: You're an American?
- Zelda Fitzgerald: If you count Alabama as America, which I do. I miss the bathtub gin.
