Jessica:
Well, actually, I never suspected that my book would be published. I really wrote it for my enjoyment, I guess, like needlepoint, paint...

TV Book Critic:
Ah, then you have no pretensions to creating literature. How refreshing in an era dedicated to the beautification of the trivial and the canonization of the mundane.

Jessica:
Well, on the other hand, people seem to enjoy it.

TV Book Critic:
The people, yes. Well, of course, we both know, dear lady, it takes very little to please the folks from Dubuque. How else do you explain television?

Jessica:
Oh, I couldn't. Television is your business, not mine.
