1
00:00:12.180 --> 00:00:13.580
You

2
00:00:42.860 --> 00:00:44.260
You

3
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:01.960
You

4
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:02.220
You

5
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:30.800
Oh, who was it who day Chavner

6
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:33.440
Ravi Shankar.

7
00:01:33.700 --> 00:01:33.920
Yes.

8
00:01:34.160 --> 00:01:34.800
All right.

9
00:01:34.960 --> 00:01:40.000
Ravi Shankar, I saw him someplace, I don't know, not too long ago, and his music was

10
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:40.880
absolutely beautiful.

11
00:01:41.660 --> 00:01:42.440
And he had a big ring?

12
00:01:42.620 --> 00:01:48.000
And he had a thing that he was playing, and he had on this finger a great big ring, and

13
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:49.320
you could see it all the time.

14
00:01:49.380 --> 00:01:51.560
And it looked so beautiful, and then he used it.

15
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:52.900
And I said, Oh, I've got to have a ring.

16
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:53.940
I've never worn rings.

17
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.880
I've never had an engagement ring or a wedding ring or anything.

18
00:01:57.560 --> 00:01:59.120
Well, rings are fun.

19
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:03.480
But when you go to Paris, you should have gone there.

20
00:02:04.020 --> 00:02:04.640
To get a ring?

21
00:02:04.900 --> 00:02:05.300
Certainly.

22
00:02:05.440 --> 00:02:09.180
You've gone to all those fancy places across from the Ritz.

23
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:10.960
Tray expensive.

24
00:02:12.440 --> 00:02:13.240
I don't necessarily.

25
00:02:13.260 --> 00:02:14.360
It can all be artificial.

26
00:02:14.440 --> 00:02:15.680
I haven't got anything real.

27
00:02:16.180 --> 00:02:18.820
Chanel has a nice costume.

28
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:19.360


29
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:19.360


30
00:02:20.100 --> 00:02:21.980
I don't have any real jewelry.

31
00:02:22.020 --> 00:02:23.180
It's got junk like this.

32
00:02:23.300 --> 00:02:24.600
Yeah, but you wear the junk well.

33
00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:27.740
But if you want a ring, you'll have to look.

34
00:02:27.820 --> 00:02:28.620
Rings are hard.

35
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:30.760
I don't know if I really do want a ring.

36
00:02:30.860 --> 00:02:35.200
I probably never wear it because I'm not used to wearing a ring, but I certainly was impressed

37
00:02:35.200 --> 00:02:36.740
with Ravi Shankar's ring.

38
00:02:36.940 --> 00:02:41.740
Well, if you start playing the guitar or whatever it was, I don't know what it was.

39
00:02:42.180 --> 00:02:43.280
Yeah, I doubt if I will stop.

40
00:02:43.300 --> 00:02:44.440
Indian something or other.

41
00:02:44.580 --> 00:02:45.800
Yeah, it is a C-tar.

42
00:02:45.900 --> 00:02:46.760
Is that what it's called?

43
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:47.240
A C-tar?

44
00:02:47.320 --> 00:02:47.680
Yes.

45
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:48.420
Is that what it is?

46
00:02:48.620 --> 00:02:48.760
Yeah.

47
00:02:49.020 --> 00:02:50.020
Yes, it is indeed what it is.

48
00:02:50.040 --> 00:02:54.280
We are rolling and recording, and this is just an ordinary nice conversation every now

49
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:54.460
and then.

50
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:56.840
I will interject something by way of a subject.

51
00:02:57.420 --> 00:02:59.440
But you talk mostly to Jerry.

52
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.460
And if it's comfortable when I say something, turn to me.

53
00:03:02.580 --> 00:03:04.600
But just the way we usually do it.

54
00:03:05.480 --> 00:03:11.140
And this is for the documentary, not for the archives necessarily.

55
00:03:11.700 --> 00:03:14.000
I don't know the difference between the archives and the documentary.

56
00:03:14.020 --> 00:03:19.840
The archives are when I say to you, in 1932 you went on the road and you did three ballets

57
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:21.280
and we go through all that stuff.

58
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:22.580
She knows a lot about me now.

59
00:03:22.700 --> 00:03:23.160
Right.

60
00:03:23.620 --> 00:03:24.380
Too much maybe.

61
00:03:24.880 --> 00:03:25.360
Maybe.

62
00:03:25.980 --> 00:03:27.360
Where do you want us to start?

63
00:03:27.640 --> 00:03:29.020
I forget everything.

64
00:03:29.320 --> 00:03:34.440
Why don't we start with you making a comment on the pictures in the room, Jerry, and you

65
00:03:34.440 --> 00:03:35.660
were saying this is the Guatemalan room.

66
00:03:35.720 --> 00:03:37.700
Remember you were explaining that before to Jerry.

67
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:39.680
You were saying Andres pictures.

68
00:03:39.880 --> 00:03:40.300
Just go ahead.

69
00:03:42.040 --> 00:03:43.980
Jerry, you start and say Andres pictures.

70
00:03:44.820 --> 00:03:45.100
Whatever.

71
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:48.200
Ruth, Andres pictures fit perfectly into your room.

72
00:03:49.140 --> 00:03:54.700
Well, the room was made for the pictures because he was in Guatemala and I had this poncho

73
00:03:54.700 --> 00:03:55.980
that you put over your head.

74
00:03:56.520 --> 00:03:56.820
This thing.

75
00:03:57.060 --> 00:03:58.640
And the colors were so beautiful.

76
00:03:59.180 --> 00:04:01.060
And then I added the butterflies.

77
00:04:01.200 --> 00:04:02.520
But he painted all these pictures.

78
00:04:02.720 --> 00:04:04.140
Harley was in Guatemala, I think.

79
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:06.160
Or anyway, remembering Guatemala.

80
00:04:06.540 --> 00:04:08.800
So this is my Guatemala butterfly room.

81
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:10.020
And I love this little room.

82
00:04:10.140 --> 00:04:10.820
Don't you think it's nice?

83
00:04:10.920 --> 00:04:11.680
I love it too.

84
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:12.700
Where is Andres?

85
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:14.500
I don't know.

86
00:04:15.880 --> 00:04:16.680
The wandering husband.

87
00:04:16.960 --> 00:04:17.900
He was in Marrakech.

88
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:20.360
He can't take the Chicago winters as you know.

89
00:04:20.840 --> 00:04:21.720
But I think he's in Paris.

90
00:04:21.780 --> 00:04:23.160
Now he'll be back in April.

91
00:04:23.660 --> 00:04:24.100
Right.

92
00:04:24.100 --> 00:04:25.380
I hope we'll have good weather.

93
00:04:25.640 --> 00:04:25.900
It is.

94
00:04:26.100 --> 00:04:29.240
He was here most of that bad weather and he just never went out.

95
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:30.740
He just stayed home all day.

96
00:04:30.760 --> 00:04:32.840
So I said, why don't you go on to Marrakech?

97
00:04:32.900 --> 00:04:34.480
That's what place he likes so much.

98
00:04:34.860 --> 00:04:36.220
I don't like it, but he does.

99
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:38.300
And he's in Paris now?

100
00:04:38.460 --> 00:04:40.000
I think so, as far as I know.

101
00:04:40.300 --> 00:04:41.500
What did you do in Paris?

102
00:04:41.520 --> 00:04:43.600
You were there for 10 days in February.

103
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:45.080
What does one do in Paris?

104
00:04:45.080 --> 00:04:46.040
Well, what did you do?

105
00:04:46.060 --> 00:04:46.720
That's the question.

106
00:04:46.760 --> 00:04:48.380
I went to the opera once.

107
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:48.960
Yes.

108
00:04:49.840 --> 00:04:51.500
And it was perfectly terrible.

109
00:04:51.500 --> 00:04:55.140
It was called Dr. Faustus, a new opera.

110
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:57.520
I don't know who wrote it and I don't want to know.

111
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.620
And it must have cost them at least a million dollars to put it on.

112
00:05:00.620 --> 00:05:02.240
It was so elaborately staged.

113
00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:03.000
It was awful.

114
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:06.520
But what about the ambience of the house itself, the opera house?

115
00:05:06.520 --> 00:05:06.720
It's so beautiful.

116
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:08.740
Oh, it's a perfect theater.

117
00:05:08.820 --> 00:05:10.920
I love that opera house there.

118
00:05:11.280 --> 00:05:11.880
It's gorgeous.

119
00:05:11.980 --> 00:05:14.220
And I went up and watched one of their classes.

120
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:19.960
And Josette D'Amel, who'd been with us, she gained the class.

121
00:05:19.960 --> 00:05:24.180
And there were these perfectly beautiful girls, all exactly alike.

122
00:05:24.660 --> 00:05:26.020
They were all the same height.

123
00:05:26.300 --> 00:05:27.440
They were all beautiful.

124
00:05:27.880 --> 00:05:29.400
They all had the same technique.

125
00:05:29.400 --> 00:05:30.560
And it was very boring.

126
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:32.340
But he had any personality.

127
00:05:32.640 --> 00:05:34.360
But it was interesting to see.

128
00:05:36.220 --> 00:05:37.820
And, well, I don't know what else.

129
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:39.080
They weren't doing it.

130
00:05:39.080 --> 00:05:40.640
They never seemed to do anything much.

131
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.360
They've got 90 dancers or 100 perfect dancers.

132
00:05:44.820 --> 00:05:46.160
They don't know what to do with them.

133
00:05:47.340 --> 00:05:48.340
Now, what else did you do?

134
00:05:48.340 --> 00:05:50.480
Did Andre take you to Archistrat to eat?

135
00:05:51.220 --> 00:05:51.620
No.

136
00:05:52.100 --> 00:05:53.200
We always eat in the Rélai.

137
00:05:53.580 --> 00:05:55.220
I don't care much about food.

138
00:05:55.380 --> 00:05:55.920
I'm like you.

139
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:57.540
I don't like to go to fancy restaurants.

140
00:05:58.140 --> 00:05:59.560
Everybody told me about that restaurant.

141
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:02.640
And I wanted to go, but Andre didn't care about food either.

142
00:06:02.660 --> 00:06:03.440
So we didn't bother.

143
00:06:03.640 --> 00:06:05.120
He likes it, but only with Dolores.

144
00:06:05.320 --> 00:06:06.960
He doesn't like it with you and me.

145
00:06:07.640 --> 00:06:09.560
Well, Dolores, does she appreciate good food?

146
00:06:09.620 --> 00:06:10.020
Yes.

147
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:10.920
Oh, she does.

148
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:12.800
Well, he adores Dolores.

149
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:13.720
And so do I.

150
00:06:13.960 --> 00:06:17.020
And so tell Dolores, next time I see her in Paris,

151
00:06:17.020 --> 00:06:18.340
she'll have to take me to that restaurant.

152
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:19.280
And you'll leave me at home.

153
00:06:19.400 --> 00:06:22.220
We'll leave you at home with your own hamburger and Coca-Cola.

154
00:06:22.640 --> 00:06:23.800
You're a big bore.

155
00:06:23.860 --> 00:06:26.560
I like the Rélai too, because you can have the hamburger there.

156
00:06:26.740 --> 00:06:28.100
Yeah, I like eating in the Rélai.

157
00:06:28.180 --> 00:06:29.860
It's so much easier than eating anyplace else.

158
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.760
I stayed in that hotel, so I just always eat there.

159
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:34.140
What else did you do?

160
00:06:35.620 --> 00:06:36.400
Well, let's see.

161
00:06:36.400 --> 00:06:38.120
I bought a few clothes, not many.

162
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:39.160
Very few.

163
00:06:40.400 --> 00:06:42.800
And I can't think of anything else we did.

164
00:06:43.760 --> 00:06:45.840
I can't remember really what we did.

165
00:06:45.840 --> 00:06:47.760
We were busy all the time.

166
00:06:47.940 --> 00:06:53.160
We always go to museums, you know, and there was nothing to see.

167
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:59.940
We did see the Paris Opera dancers gave an all-Tudor evening,

168
00:06:59.960 --> 00:07:00.920
which was very interesting.

169
00:07:00.940 --> 00:07:02.660
It was their idea to do it.

170
00:07:03.080 --> 00:07:05.080
And I didn't know they even knew anything about Tudor,

171
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:06.420
but they put it on themselves.

172
00:07:06.540 --> 00:07:07.600
Tudor never came near it.

173
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:09.520
And I thought they did them awfully well.

174
00:07:09.520 --> 00:07:10.600
I was very surprised.

175
00:07:10.640 --> 00:07:13.660
It shows they can do something if they have an idea and want to.

176
00:07:13.940 --> 00:07:15.820
Did you ever tell Thea about your house in Paris?

177
00:07:15.820 --> 00:07:17.300
Did she ever discuss that with you?

178
00:07:17.400 --> 00:07:18.460
A little bit.

179
00:07:19.540 --> 00:07:20.240
Have you seen the house?

180
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:21.840
Just on the outside.

181
00:07:22.020 --> 00:07:22.580
I was never inside.

182
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:23.480
You never went inside?

183
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:26.340
It was DeSette Recompagnie Premiere.

184
00:07:26.700 --> 00:07:28.460
I don't know how we happened to get that house.

185
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:29.360
It was way out.

186
00:07:31.140 --> 00:07:35.000
And the reason I finally saw it is I had so much trouble with the roof.

187
00:07:35.060 --> 00:07:37.580
I always had roof trouble no matter what building I'm in.

188
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:39.840
The roof was always leaking or something.

189
00:07:39.940 --> 00:07:44.680
And this was a sort of a slanting glass roof, and it always leaked.

190
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:47.520
So that was too much trouble.

191
00:07:48.620 --> 00:07:53.580
So Clavet bought it, my friend Clavet, who lives next door to me in Saint-Ropé.

192
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:57.000
And he needed it just to store his pictures in, so he bought it for that.

193
00:07:57.140 --> 00:08:00.840
It was a nice great big room, and I used it as a studio, put a mirror in it.

194
00:08:01.400 --> 00:08:03.920
We lived there quite often, but not too often.

195
00:08:04.820 --> 00:08:08.540
And I had some friends who lived there all the time, and they got out whenever we came.

196
00:08:09.380 --> 00:08:10.660
So that worked out all right.

197
00:08:11.940 --> 00:08:13.820
But I only want one place now.

198
00:08:13.820 --> 00:08:15.140
I don't want a million different places.

199
00:08:15.380 --> 00:08:16.660
There's just too much trouble.

200
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:19.780
I like to have one place, and this is it.

201
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:23.660
How did you keep all those places you used to have?

202
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:29.360
You had your apartment in Chicago, big apartment, Hubbard Woods, Paris, and Saint-Ropé.

203
00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:30.600
Well, I had Tom Fisher.

204
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:34.540
Tom liked to move around, and he likes to buy houses next to our house.

205
00:08:34.540 --> 00:08:36.360
He did like to buy houses. It was true.

206
00:08:36.580 --> 00:08:39.160
He loved to buy houses, and he liked to...

207
00:08:39.160 --> 00:08:40.180
I don't know, he liked that.

208
00:08:40.180 --> 00:08:45.180
I liked it too when I had him, but I can't go out to Hubbard Woods all by myself.

209
00:08:45.980 --> 00:08:48.720
And Andre never cared about Hubbard Woods.

210
00:08:48.740 --> 00:08:50.460
He never cared about Saint-Ropé either.

211
00:08:51.020 --> 00:08:53.780
He doesn't like Chicago. He likes Chicago fairly well now.

212
00:08:54.060 --> 00:08:55.780
He doesn't like the climate, neither do I.

213
00:08:56.300 --> 00:08:59.320
Now Ruth and I like Saint-Ropé because we like the sin there.

214
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:03.460
Oh, the beach there's wonderful...

215
00:09:03.460 --> 00:09:05.280
Did she tell you about the beach at Saint-Ropé?

216
00:09:05.700 --> 00:09:06.860
We talked about it a little.

217
00:09:06.860 --> 00:09:09.140
But did she tell you what beach she went to?

218
00:09:09.640 --> 00:09:11.140
What was the name of it?

219
00:09:11.160 --> 00:09:13.900
Well, I don't remember, but it was the nude homosexual beach.

220
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:16.780
Which was next door... come on, that's the truth.

221
00:09:17.700 --> 00:09:20.180
And it was next door to the nude family beach.

222
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:22.160
The nude beach, yes. That's right.

223
00:09:22.180 --> 00:09:23.640
But it was the nude homosexual beach.

224
00:09:23.680 --> 00:09:24.960
I didn't know there were homosexuals.

225
00:09:25.060 --> 00:09:27.380
Come on, Ruth. They were all these good-looking guys.

226
00:09:27.520 --> 00:09:28.340
That's all there were.

227
00:09:28.540 --> 00:09:32.800
Well, I walked along there in my little bikini all by myself

228
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:36.720
and looking at all these naked people, and I thought they looked perfectly awful.

229
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:38.980
And I looked a little beyond.

230
00:09:38.980 --> 00:09:41.600
There were these gorgeous-looking boys on the group.

231
00:09:42.100 --> 00:09:43.680
I said, I'll go up and see who they are.

232
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:45.820
And they suddenly started waving at me.

233
00:09:46.520 --> 00:09:51.500
And it was all of the pretty shroyo ballies, stark naked, and they looked divine.

234
00:09:53.020 --> 00:09:53.980
I didn't know there were homosexuals.

235
00:09:54.020 --> 00:09:54.960
Maybe there were, maybe they weren't.

236
00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:55.560
Well...

237
00:09:55.560 --> 00:09:56.220
I didn't ask.

238
00:09:57.460 --> 00:10:02.360
Now, see Ruth, the first time we were there, I was a little aghast.

239
00:10:02.420 --> 00:10:03.620
And then we were there with Dolores.

240
00:10:03.740 --> 00:10:05.040
And then Johnny came along.

241
00:10:05.040 --> 00:10:08.460
Dolores said to me, well, Johnny was about 18,

242
00:10:08.780 --> 00:10:11.760
can't possibly take Johnny to this beach.

243
00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:14.880
So I said to Ruth, as we had arrived at the parking lot,

244
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:17.440
maybe this is not such a good idea.

245
00:10:18.020 --> 00:10:19.680
And Ruth said, don't be ridiculous.

246
00:10:19.760 --> 00:10:20.660
Come with me, Johnny.

247
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:22.200
I'll show you what life is about.

248
00:10:23.760 --> 00:10:25.080
I put the child into the beach.

249
00:10:25.420 --> 00:10:26.640
I don't remember that.

250
00:10:26.680 --> 00:10:28.260
Oh, I remember that, like yesterday.

251
00:10:28.380 --> 00:10:32.260
And then it was also the time of the beach when Ruth went swimming.

252
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:36.160
And we were with Mr. Ludo.

253
00:10:36.580 --> 00:10:37.440
This is...

254
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:38.200
Seriously, Ludo.

255
00:10:38.420 --> 00:10:41.480
Russian photographer who transplanted to Paris.

256
00:10:42.580 --> 00:10:43.960
And Ruth said, well, it's very uncomfortable.

257
00:10:44.700 --> 00:10:46.540
I said, well, Ruth, then take off your suit.

258
00:10:46.680 --> 00:10:48.300
Ruth said, I always do what my lawyer said,

259
00:10:48.340 --> 00:10:49.980
and she took off her bathing suit.

260
00:10:51.100 --> 00:10:51.380
Oh!

261
00:10:51.380 --> 00:10:52.580
Well, that's nice.

262
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:53.740
That was shocking.

263
00:10:54.980 --> 00:10:55.980
I'm sure you're shocked.

264
00:10:55.980 --> 00:10:56.560
When was it?

265
00:10:57.300 --> 00:10:58.780
That's why, when was that?

266
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:00.660
Five years ago, six years?

267
00:11:00.880 --> 00:11:02.240
Last time we were in Saint Tropez.

268
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:03.260
Not too long ago.

269
00:11:03.260 --> 00:11:04.920
I saw it about three years ago.

270
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:06.560
About five or six years ago.

271
00:11:06.920 --> 00:11:08.380
I think that's great.

272
00:11:10.100 --> 00:11:12.460
Well, nobody thinks about nudity there, you know.

273
00:11:12.800 --> 00:11:14.500
There's nudist beach and everything.

274
00:11:16.300 --> 00:11:18.300
But you see, it's interesting about our spouses

275
00:11:18.300 --> 00:11:20.540
because Andre doesn't like to sit on the beach

276
00:11:20.540 --> 00:11:22.760
and Dolores doesn't like to sit on the beach,

277
00:11:22.820 --> 00:11:24.460
but Ruth and I like to sit on the beach.

278
00:11:24.660 --> 00:11:26.200
We could rot on the beach

279
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:31.480
where our spouses think it is not intellectually rewarding.

280
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:32.460
That's right.

281
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.520
Our spouses are too intellectual for us, aren't they?

282
00:11:35.680 --> 00:11:36.500
I think so.

283
00:11:36.780 --> 00:11:38.020
They're too smart for us.

284
00:11:39.900 --> 00:11:40.800
I love the beach.

285
00:11:41.020 --> 00:11:42.660
It's good for your soul, don't you think?

286
00:11:43.100 --> 00:11:43.840
I think it's very good.

287
00:11:44.060 --> 00:11:45.180
It's bad for your body.

288
00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:46.040
Did you know that?

289
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:47.420
Sitting in the sun is very bad for your body.

290
00:11:47.520 --> 00:11:49.640
I only found that out very late in life.

291
00:11:50.640 --> 00:11:52.500
But it's good for your soul.

292
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:55.560
You see, Ruth will read on the beach.

293
00:11:55.800 --> 00:11:57.940
She'll use her time somewhat constructively.

294
00:11:57.940 --> 00:11:59.360
I won't. I just like to...

295
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:00.780
Oh, he's a lazy good-for-nothing.

296
00:12:00.780 --> 00:12:02.500
Right. I like that.

297
00:12:03.640 --> 00:12:05.720
I don't believe it. You're a workaholic.

298
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:08.000
You and your wife both are workaholics.

299
00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:09.460
They don't do anything but work.

300
00:12:09.620 --> 00:12:11.000
That's true now, Jerry.

301
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:11.700
That's true.

302
00:12:11.940 --> 00:12:13.880
Yeah. It's all you like to do is work.

303
00:12:14.820 --> 00:12:16.220
But I like the beach, too.

304
00:12:17.400 --> 00:12:17.900
All right.

305
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:19.760
Particularly when you took off your bathing suit.

306
00:12:19.780 --> 00:12:20.640
That was exciting.

307
00:12:23.680 --> 00:12:24.120
Well...

308
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:25.400
All right. I'm getting hot.

309
00:12:26.220 --> 00:12:27.480
I'll take off my clothes now.

310
00:12:28.020 --> 00:12:29.340
No, we can't do that on a field.

311
00:12:29.340 --> 00:12:30.140
That would be great.

312
00:12:33.300 --> 00:12:35.340
I don't ever go to Oak Street Beach here.

313
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:36.200
It's too dangerous.

314
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:38.020
I'm scared to go.

315
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:39.920
Well, you have to go with somebody.

316
00:12:41.460 --> 00:12:42.540
Yeah. Who let go with that?

317
00:12:42.540 --> 00:12:43.440
I don't know anybody who likes to go.

318
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:44.540
Andre won't go.

319
00:12:44.800 --> 00:12:46.400
Well, maybe...

320
00:12:46.400 --> 00:12:48.780
I'd rather have a man to go with.

321
00:12:48.940 --> 00:12:50.780
It's not safe down there. It really isn't.

322
00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:51.740
I'm not kidding.

323
00:12:52.420 --> 00:12:53.600
It's very unsafe down there.

324
00:12:53.660 --> 00:12:55.920
Maybe we can get the cameraman to come with us.

325
00:12:56.860 --> 00:12:58.560
We'll get the cameraman to go.

326
00:12:58.580 --> 00:13:00.160
You get a lot of attention that way.

327
00:13:00.640 --> 00:13:01.520
With the camera person.

328
00:13:02.020 --> 00:13:03.020
Uh-huh.

329
00:13:03.940 --> 00:13:06.300
I thought maybe we could talk a little about this picture, Ruth.

330
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:07.120
What picture?

331
00:13:07.540 --> 00:13:08.680
The Chiquetti picture.

332
00:13:10.380 --> 00:13:13.000
Why don't you explain to Jerry about how important this is?

333
00:13:13.020 --> 00:13:15.460
Because I don't think you really understand the importance of this picture.

334
00:13:16.660 --> 00:13:17.680
Do you know that picture?

335
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:22.240
That's what Mr. Chiquetti said is the most perfect arabesque.

336
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:25.180
That's right. Now, that's a hard pose to get into.

337
00:13:25.180 --> 00:13:26.660
Tell me why.

338
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.500
Well, you see, everything has to be just at the right angles.

339
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:34.000
That foot's just at the right angle.

340
00:13:34.660 --> 00:13:36.280
Everything's right about this picture.

341
00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:41.360
And so I don't want it to go down to posterity as somebody else.

342
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:42.800
Which it was in that book.

343
00:13:42.940 --> 00:13:43.900
I think it was specific.

344
00:13:44.700 --> 00:13:46.480
Yes, it was a Russian gallery.

345
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:51.620
Yeah, and it used this picture with my picture with her name on it.

346
00:13:51.880 --> 00:13:53.680
And I don't know what to do about it.

347
00:13:53.740 --> 00:13:54.460
You're a lawyer.

348
00:13:54.460 --> 00:13:56.240
That's right. That's what we're researching.

349
00:13:56.340 --> 00:13:59.060
I believe it's an invasion of your right to privacy.

350
00:13:59.100 --> 00:14:00.740
I think it's a defamation.

351
00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:05.460
And whatever it is, it's something awfully wrong.

352
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:06.580
Now, the problem is...

353
00:14:06.580 --> 00:14:07.440
How to correct it.

354
00:14:07.560 --> 00:14:10.980
It's how to correct it. Because they have this big expensive 45-dollar book

355
00:14:10.980 --> 00:14:14.020
in which they probably sold several thousands.

356
00:14:15.060 --> 00:14:20.040
So, it'll probably be good for the lawyers, bad for the publisher, and bad for you, Ruth.

357
00:14:20.300 --> 00:14:20.860
But I'll have a lot of fun.

358
00:14:20.860 --> 00:14:21.940
Why would it be bad for me?

359
00:14:21.940 --> 00:14:25.620
Because it'll cost you money paying me to go litigate against the...

360
00:14:25.620 --> 00:14:27.680
Well, maybe you'll give me a little percentage off.

361
00:14:27.900 --> 00:14:28.540
That's true.

362
00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:31.060
It'll be a volume discount.

363
00:14:34.020 --> 00:14:35.940
Lawyers are on expensive. I know that.

364
00:14:36.040 --> 00:14:36.680
Yes, very expensive.

365
00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:39.500
Because you were married to one 40 years, so you know how expensive they are.

366
00:14:39.500 --> 00:14:40.640
I know all about lawyers.

367
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:42.440
You can't tell me nothing about lawyers.

368
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.380
But it is an interesting intellectual property issue.

369
00:14:46.860 --> 00:14:50.040
And I'm sure that they're in a lot of trouble.

370
00:14:50.140 --> 00:14:51.860
And I don't really know what the answer is.

371
00:14:51.860 --> 00:14:54.140
Because I think it's a very unusual problem.

372
00:14:55.220 --> 00:14:57.140
They usually don't make an error like that.

373
00:14:57.200 --> 00:14:57.760
No, they don't.

374
00:14:57.980 --> 00:15:01.280
But I tell you, in Dance Magazine, which is published once a month,

375
00:15:01.340 --> 00:15:02.600
they make errors all the time.

376
00:15:02.660 --> 00:15:04.320
And they always have a little column that says,

377
00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:08.800
this is wrong. We apologize for whatever it was they were apologizing for.

378
00:15:09.300 --> 00:15:12.520
And each month it comes out, but that book is set and published.

379
00:15:12.560 --> 00:15:16.480
And now it'll go down to posterity as specificity.

380
00:15:16.660 --> 00:15:19.960
No, no. They'll have to do something.

381
00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:21.880
Well, I don't want them to give me any money.

382
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:24.060
Money doesn't matter on this side of the thing.

383
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:28.900
No, they have to somehow publicize the world.

384
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:32.800
I don't know, we see now if it was a car, they could make them recall the cars.

385
00:15:33.700 --> 00:15:34.400
I think that if,

386
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:38.760
probably a lot of them are sitting in a warehouse.

387
00:15:38.900 --> 00:15:40.720
I mean, it's often the case with books.

388
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:45.560
You could make them take and get a paste-on thing

389
00:15:45.560 --> 00:15:48.840
where they corrected all of the copies that they had not yet sold.

390
00:15:48.860 --> 00:15:48.860


391
00:15:48.860 --> 00:15:50.180
Could they do that?

392
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:53.280
No, right on the page, Ruth, where they would paste over something

393
00:15:53.280 --> 00:15:54.640
so it would be correct.

394
00:15:55.160 --> 00:15:58.020
In other words, they would take her name off and they would paste her name on it.

395
00:15:58.300 --> 00:15:58.900
This is the picture.

396
00:15:58.940 --> 00:16:00.900
It's a whole chapter about her.

397
00:16:01.780 --> 00:16:03.420
Right, so even the,

398
00:16:03.420 --> 00:16:07.440
even the Elange that you're talking about

399
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:09.060
isn't necessarily going to...

400
00:16:09.060 --> 00:16:11.560
But you're right, it's sitting there in the warehouse, you see.

401
00:16:11.620 --> 00:16:13.300
But I'm talking about those books

402
00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:15.460
which have already been distributed.

403
00:16:15.660 --> 00:16:17.080
I don't know what you could do about those.

404
00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:17.120
You know?

405
00:16:19.260 --> 00:16:20.520
So, it's going to be...

406
00:16:20.520 --> 00:16:21.380
We better do something.

407
00:16:21.400 --> 00:16:23.400
We're going to do something fast. I have it.

408
00:16:23.680 --> 00:16:25.060
Somebody's looking at this very moment.

409
00:16:25.140 --> 00:16:27.260
You're supposed to be a very good lawyer, I thought.

410
00:16:27.420 --> 00:16:30.280
Well, I'm supposed to be. We'll try.

411
00:16:31.540 --> 00:16:32.580
What would Tom have done?

412
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:34.740
Oh, he would have sued everybody.

413
00:16:34.880 --> 00:16:37.380
He may have to do that. He'd love to sue people.

414
00:16:38.140 --> 00:16:39.520
He would sue people.

415
00:16:39.700 --> 00:16:41.940
As a matter of fact, I told Ruth I was getting ready to argue a case

416
00:16:41.940 --> 00:16:43.400
in the United States Supreme Court.

417
00:16:43.520 --> 00:16:45.580
And I came across a Tom Fisher decision

418
00:16:45.580 --> 00:16:48.020
where he sued the car rental company

419
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:50.920
over some charge

420
00:16:50.920 --> 00:16:52.480
that he thought was incorrect

421
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:54.960
and went all the way up to the United States Court of Appeals

422
00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:56.080
where your husband sits

423
00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:58.460
over this day's car rental.

424
00:16:59.300 --> 00:16:59.960
So he loved...

425
00:16:59.960 --> 00:17:02.240
Tom was the person if

426
00:17:03.400 --> 00:17:05.260
he lent you $10,000.

427
00:17:05.600 --> 00:17:06.120
And you said,

428
00:17:06.280 --> 00:17:09.940
here, Tom, here's $9,999.99.

429
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:12.280
I am not going to pay you that penny.

430
00:17:13.020 --> 00:17:14.020
He would.

431
00:17:14.660 --> 00:17:15.560
Not take it.

432
00:17:15.560 --> 00:17:18.620
And just love to sue you

433
00:17:18.620 --> 00:17:19.640
for that $10,000.

434
00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:20.840
I didn't know he liked to make the decision.

435
00:17:21.120 --> 00:17:23.580
He really liked to be litigious.

436
00:17:23.700 --> 00:17:24.860
He was a litigious person.

437
00:17:27.120 --> 00:17:28.620
He was apparently...

438
00:17:28.620 --> 00:17:31.240
I mean, that King Ranch lawsuit was...

439
00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:32.380
You were involved with that.

440
00:17:32.560 --> 00:17:34.180
No, I was never involved in that.

441
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:37.900
He... I was involved in...

442
00:17:37.900 --> 00:17:39.460
As a result of that lawsuit,

443
00:17:39.820 --> 00:17:41.620
Ruth had certain property.

444
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:44.500
Part of the old King Ranch,

445
00:17:44.860 --> 00:17:45.540
part of the Padres' property.

446
00:17:45.540 --> 00:17:46.380
He had a very high interest in the country.

447
00:17:46.380 --> 00:17:47.280
Island, mineral interest.

448
00:17:48.100 --> 00:17:50.260
But he, before his death,

449
00:17:50.320 --> 00:17:52.200
litigated against the King Ranch

450
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:54.300
trustees on behalf of

451
00:17:54.300 --> 00:17:57.700
two heirs for 30 years.

452
00:17:58.240 --> 00:17:59.640
I know. We talked about that.

453
00:17:59.660 --> 00:18:01.920
So that they just

454
00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:02.740
detested him.

455
00:18:02.800 --> 00:18:05.960
And there was a lawyer, Sherman Sterling, in New York,

456
00:18:06.060 --> 00:18:07.780
a firm with whom I do a lot of business.

457
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:10.060
And this lawyer would not talk to me

458
00:18:10.060 --> 00:18:11.760
because I was Tom's,

459
00:18:11.760 --> 00:18:13.280
you know, lawyer for his estate

460
00:18:13.280 --> 00:18:16.160
until his partner certified that I was alright.

461
00:18:16.540 --> 00:18:18.100
And they could talk to me.

462
00:18:18.540 --> 00:18:19.500
Oh, I didn't know that.

463
00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:21.640
He had a big argument over this.

464
00:18:21.760 --> 00:18:22.360
Mr. Curlin.

465
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:25.540
And as a matter of fact, Mr. Curlin, show you how Tom was.

466
00:18:25.560 --> 00:18:26.640
Never heard of him.

467
00:18:26.860 --> 00:18:29.180
They had a dispute with Mr. Curlin

468
00:18:29.180 --> 00:18:30.440
over some mineral interest.

469
00:18:30.600 --> 00:18:33.040
And Mr. Curlin paid into the clerk of the court

470
00:18:33.040 --> 00:18:35.080
to Tom $17,000,

471
00:18:35.180 --> 00:18:37.140
which Tom never took from the clerk.

472
00:18:37.780 --> 00:18:39.680
So after his death, I got that money

473
00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:42.220
and had been sitting there maybe 10 years.

474
00:18:42.220 --> 00:18:44.000
What did you do? Without earning interest.

475
00:18:44.020 --> 00:18:44.960
Spend it foolishly?

476
00:18:45.120 --> 00:18:46.900
No, we put it in the estate where it belongs.

477
00:18:49.040 --> 00:18:50.500
So he was a very...

478
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:52.400
Cantankerous.

479
00:18:52.900 --> 00:18:53.340
No, litigious.

480
00:18:54.760 --> 00:18:56.500
Let's stop and we'll change the cassette now.

481
00:18:57.960 --> 00:18:59.300
Litigious, that's a new word.

482
00:18:59.840 --> 00:18:59.980
Okay.

483
00:19:00.780 --> 00:19:02.120
Where should we go from here?
