"With a minute to go, Dad had the ball..."
Lucy Warriner: [pretending to be Jerry's lower-class sister "Lola" at a gathering with his girlfriend's family] I'm sorry to interrupt you again, Jerry. Now, what were you saying?
Jerry Warriner: I was just telling one of Father's stories. You've heard it. With a minute to go, Dad had the ball...
Lucy Warriner: -A ball? What ball?
Jerry Warriner: -The football.
Lucy Warriner: Well, what in the world was Dad ever doing with a football, for heaven's sakes?
Jerry Warriner: I was just telling a story about when Father was at Princeton. You remember...
Lucy Warriner: [suddenly very enthused] Oh, Pop loved Princeton! He was there nearly 20 years, and if ever a man loved a place, he did. He just adored it. And he certainly kept it looking beautiful!
