I'm afraid Mr. De Witt would find me boring before too long.
Miss Casswell
You won't bore him, honey. You won't even get a chance to talk.

De Witt
Do you see that man? That's Max Fabian, the producer. Now go and do yourself some good.
Miss Casswell
Why do they always look like unhappy rabbits?
De Witt
Because that's what they are. Now go and make him happy.
Miss Casswell
Now there's something a girl could make sacrifices for.
And probably has.
Miss Casswell
Sable.
Max Fabian Sable? Did she say sable or Gable?
Miss Casswell
Either one.
De Witt
We're a breed apart from the rest of humanity, we theater folk. We are the original displaced personalities.
Miss Casswell
[interrupting]
Oh, waiter!
De Witt
That isn't a waiter, my dear. That's a butler.
Miss Casswell
Well, I can't yell, 'Oh, butler!' can I? Maybe somebody's name is Butler.
De Witt
You have a point. An idiotic one, but a point.
Miss Casswell
I don't want to make trouble. All I want is a drink.
Max
Leave it to me. I'll get you one.
Miss Caswell
[smiling]
Thank you, Mr. Fabian.
De Witt
Well done. I can see your career rising in the east like the sun.
Miss Casswell
Now what?
De Witt
Your next move, it seems to me, should be towards television.
Miss Casswell
Tell me this. Do they have auditions for television?
De Witt
That's, uh, all television is, my dear. Nothing but auditions.
