Dec. 19th, 2012 09:21 pmJudy asks me what I think of Breakfast at Tiffany's- and I can't say.

If I watched it now I'd probably get into a fight with him and that's something I'd rather avoid. Leave him to his dreams. You know he hasn't even worked out- bless him- that Holly Golightly is a whore.

Paul Varjak: Yeah, I suppose they're dirty, too, but only incidentally. Mainly they're angry, sensitive, intensely felt, and that dirtiest of all dirty words - promising. Or so said The Times Book Review, October 1, 1956.
