“What do you think will happen the minute Sue really discovers the sort of hands she's in? Even if she would want to stick to you!”

“How much money?”
“Three or four thousand. Maybe five or six. It means going south for the outdoor scenes. I want tropical foliage, so my people won't look frozen. And publicity isn't cheap, you know.”
