โ€œRod, you look wonderful.โ€

โ€œThanks Glenda. You also look wonderful.โ€

โ€œRod, will you be staying at the palace for long?โ€

โ€œNo. I have business in Tokyo prefecture tomorrow. I'll be taking a military helicopter transport directly there to save time.โ€

โ€œIs Stacy with you?โ€

โ€œYes, Glenda. I knew that you would ask.โ€

โ€œI have every right to ask. Stacy is my sister.โ€

โ€œI've done bad things. I've led teen bikini models astray...promising them my everlasting love while impregnating their sisters. I'm an animal. How many lives must I ruin? How many Japanese beauty queens must I conquer? Glenda, Iย ย must deny these natural & nat-uralistical inclinations. I must be more than a boy toy used by *** starlets to satisfy their carnal needs.โ€

โ€œOf course, Rod, our passion was a passing fancy.โ€

โ€œPlease. I just watched Rudolph Valentino lose 2 women to his best friend in the 1925 movie Cobra. Valentino would be dead 9 months after this film's release. A friend's friendship meant more to Rudy than incautious fawning & womanly guile. Please Glenda, I tried. I tried and I failed. I know why you do it and it's not why you say. Your brother loves you but he needs to find a girl who's not his sister for a change.โ€

โ€œWomen can be men with feminine issues, Rod. Math is a curious thing. If you're 6' 1'' tall, you are closer to 7 feet than to 5 feet. If you're 5' 3'' tall, you are closer to 10 feet than to 0 feet.โ€

โ€œGlenda, deep down, your sister is just a a lot of fluid, organs & vessels. I have an eye for such things. I possess a knack for uniting incongruous things, whether it be nuts to toggles or spigots to pet-*****. In The Eagle from 1925, Rudolph Valentino reads a note by candle light. A candle on the table in a moving train. Seems incongruous, somehow. What about the danger of fire? What if my bra comes undone at the amusement park? What if a thousand things go terribly awry? Ha? Well, what about it?โ€

โ€œSometimes, dear one, you act as if the Washington Monument is an extension of your physical charm. Sometimes Rod...Oh, kiss me youย ย fool!โ€
