Schuyler Fox : Your father's getting married again.
Joe : Really?
Schuyler Fox :
Yep.
Joe :
Congratulations!
Nelson Fox :
Thank you.
Joe : Why?
Nelson Fox :
Who knows?
Joe : Love?
Nelson Fox :
Possible.
Schuyler Fox :
I think you're a damn fool!
Nelson Fox :
Pop,
Matthew is four years old, okay? It'd be nice if he
knew his parents were married.
Joe : Listen,
I have a sad announcement to make. City Books on
23rd Street. It's going
under.
Nelson Fox :
Another independent
bites the dust.
Schuyler Fox :
On to the next!
Joe : Going to
buy out
their inventory of architecture and New York history
for the new store.
Nelson Fox :
How much, son, how much are you paying?
Joe : Whatever
it costs, it won't be as much as that exquisitely
uncomfortable mohair episode there which is now all
over my suit.
Nelson Fox :
Here you go.
Joe : Thanks.
We're also going have a section dedicated just to
writers who’ve lived on the West Side.
Schuyler Fox :
As a shot to the neighborhood.
Nelson Fox :
Perfect. Keep those West Side liberal nuts,
pseudo-intellectual--
Joe : Readers,
Dad. They're called readers.
Nelson Fox :
Don't do that, son, don’t romanticize them. It'll
keep them from jumping
down your throat.
Schuyler Fox :
What's the competition?
Joe : One
mystery store, Sleuth, at 78th and Amsterdam and a
children's bookstore, Shop Around The Corner. It's
been there forever.
Schuyler Fox :
Cecilia's store.
Joe : Who's
that?
Schuyler Fox :
Cecilia Kelly. |
