Sam:
Perfect. This is one of the best tapes yet. You have a pretty good
voice for radio, Professor. I could even follow a lot of what you said. And
I've never read a word of Proust -
Prow.~t,
I probably would have said.
Maybe I'll have a look at his book.
Prof F: (Incredulous,
a
little peeved.)
You mean you recorded all this?
(To
Callie.)
You said we were going to plan a program. I never agreed ...
Callie:
Don't worry, Professor Fitzhugh. We taped some great material
this morning. In a formal interview, thinking about how they sound, people
often freeze up. You were fine. Believe me. And I promise you, nothing will
leave this studio without your permission. We'll clean up the tape a little,
make a few cuts, and send you a cassette copy. Then you'll tell us what you
think. If you insist, we can do it over, or parts of it. But wait till you hear
what we send you. You even did a reading for us!
Prof F:
I'll be damned. Does everyone walk into your trap as inno–
centlyas I did? All right, I'll wait to hear the results.
