 ROBIN 
  There's Henry Drucker.  He has a chair 
  in history at Princeton.  Oh, the short 
  man is Hershel Kaminsky.  He has a chair 
  in philosophy at Cornell.

    ALVY 
  Yeah, two more chairs and they got a 
  dining-room set.

    ROBIN 
  Why are you so hostile?

    ALVY 
   (Sighing) 
  'Cause I wanna watch the Knicks on 
  television.

    ROBIN 
   (Squinting) 
  Is that Paul Goodman?  No. And be nice 
  to the host because he's publishing my 
  book.  Hi, Doug!  Douglas Wyatt.  
  "A Foul-Rag-and-Bone Shop-of-the-Heart."

They move through the rooms, Robin holding a drink in one hand, her arm draped 
in Alvy's; the crowd mills around them.

    ALVY 
   (Taking Robin's hand) 
  I'm so tired of spending evenings making 
  fake insights with people who work for 
  Dysentery.

    ROBIN 
  Commentary.

    ALVY 
  Oh, really, I heard that Commentary and 
  Dissent had merged and formed Dysentery.
