Midnight in Paris - Writers Introduce Themselves in a Bar
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?
Hemingway:
You like my book.
Gil:
Liked? I loved, all your work.
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?
Hemingway:
There was some fine writing in it, but it was unfulfilled.
Zelda Fitzgerald:
I might have known you’d hate it.
