"I know. I occasionally go to the theatre, by mistake, and I see what they want."
"That's no criterion. We won't condemn even a Broadway manager until he proves himself such a dummy as not to want your plays."
"Broadway? Think of a play of mine on Broadway! Think of the fat swine who waddle into those theatres!"

"Men of brains? Who, who, I ask you?"
"Bernard Shaw."
"Showman, trickster."
"Barrie."
"Well, maybe."
"Pinero?"
