The President : How did you get to be a translator, Buck? You don't seem the academic type.
Buck : [nervously] I guess I have a talent for languages, sir. I hear a language once I pick it right up. I don't even know how. They found out about it in the Army.
The President : You sound sorry they did.
Buck : No, sir. It's a very interesting job.
[pauses]
Buck : That is, most of the time.
The President : Well, you did a good job today, Buck.
Buck : Thank you, sir. All I did was repeat what he said.
The President : You didn't freeze up. Another man might have.
Buck : You're the one who didn't, sir.
The President : I wonder what it's like outside? Looked like rain before.
Buck : The radio said it would clear by the afternoon.
