- 2703 about tennis and all, but you could tell he would've enjoyed it more if I was a Catholic
2704 and all. That kind of stuff drives me crazy. I'm not saying it ruined our conversation or
2705 anything--it didn't--but it sure as hell didn't do it any good. That's why I was glad those
2706 two nuns didn't ask me if I was a Catholic. It wouldn't have spoiled the conversation if
2707 they had, but it would've been different, probably. I'm not saying I blame Catholics. I
2708 don't. I'd be the same way, probably, if I was a Catholic. It's just like those suitcases I was
2709 telling you about, in a way. All I'm saying is that it's no good for a nice conversation.
2710 That's all I'm saying.
2711 When they got up to go, the two nuns, I did something very stupid and
2712 embarrassing. I was smoking a cigarette, and when I stood up to say good-by to them, by
2713 mistake I blew some smoke in their face. I didn't mean to, but I did it. I apologized like a
2714 madman, and they were very polite and nice about it, but it was very embarrassing
2715 anyway.
2716 After they left, I started getting sorry that I'd only given them ten bucks for their
2717 collection. But the thing was, I'd made that date to go to a matinee with old Sally Hayes,
2718 and I needed to keep some dough for the tickets and stuff. I was sorry anyway, though.
2719 Goddam money. It always ends up making you blue as hell.
