    Lisa Fremont: Surprise is the most important element of attack. And besides, you’re not up on your private eye literature. When they’re in trouble it’s always their girl Friday who gets them out of it.
    L.B. Jeffries: Well, is she the girl who saves him from the clutches of the seductive show girls and the over passionate daughters of the rich?

    L.B. Jeffries: That’s the one, huh? But he never ends up marrying her, does he? That’s strange.

    Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
