Post a Comment On: Robert - One world nearby

By far my favorite part of a White Christmas. I just so happen to have walked into the kitchen as this scene starts.

BOB
What shall I make you?

BETTY
Anything'll do.

BOB
If you tell me what you want to dream
about I'll know what to make you.

BETTY
(Amused)
How's that?

BOB
Different foods make for different
dreams. I've got a whole theory
about it. It's called "The Wallace
Way of Wishful Wooing." You'll find
it in the American Medical Journal
under 'W'. Ham and Swiss cheese,
for instance, you get a cool, thin,
blond girl. Turkey sandwich, you
get a dark sort of stumpy girl, sexy
though. Now a liverwurst sandwich -
(He shakes his head)
you get both girls at once. Bad
night.

BETTY
What do you dream on tuna?

BOB
Darndest thing, I dream about me.

BETTY
(Evenly)
Then I'll have a tuna sandwich.
