Oh, hello. Hello, again! Oh, it's certainly been a long time!
It certainly has, yes.
Do you know that I've been the local authority on you ever since.
Is that so? Well, that's very sweet of you. Thank you so much.
I'll never forget that intellectually stimulating talk that you gave to our club.
Yes, a magnificent club. Really magnificent. Tell me one thing - are you a columnist?
No, no. Don't you remember? That afternoon changed my whole life.
Oh, well, how about that? [He chuckles]
You remember it. [She whispers in his ear]
Did I do that? [She nods] Did I?
And afterwards, you know, I showed you my garden. And I drove you to the airport.
Yes, really great fun. Listen, listen, din, din you have a dawda (daughter)? Din you have a dawda with a lovely name? Yeah, a lovely, what was it now, a lovely lyrical lilting name like, uh, uh...
Lo-li-ta.
Lo-li-ta, that's right. Lolita. Diminutive of Dolores, the tears and the roses.
