Bill Stevens:
What do you want with me, Joe?
Joe Gurney:
Well, I tell yuh, me and the boys are takin' a bit of a layoff while the pressure's on, and I got thinkin' about that book you wrote, you know, on Napoleon. Figured that him and me bein' so much alike, you'd like to do a little job for me.
Bill Stevens:
What kind of job?
Joe Gurney:
Well, every big man, you know, oughta have somebody to write his auto... uh, auto... [unsure of the word]
Bill Stevens:
Autobiography?
Joe Gurney:
Yeah, that's it.
Bill Stevens:
An autobiography is the story of a man's life written by himself.
Joe Gurney:
Well, I knew that, but I got too many things on my mind to write, so I thought maybe you'd front for me.
Bill Stevens:
What you want is a ghost writer.
Joe Gurney:
[Obviously misunderstanding] No mystery stuff! Just plain facts. How does it sound to you?
