Edith Helm : Excuse me Welles, but I've been listening to Danny all day putting microphones in front of people and saying "what's wrong", and "what's wrong?" "Why are you alone?" And... you asked Danny who felt the split and seperation, the lack of family the most, and Danny said women. And I felt that it was like a projection on Danny's part beacause I heard some women today saying that they were having a good time, and that they were enjoying their freedom, and they were looking for things in life. And I guess I'm limited intellectually but I'm more intrested in the personal point of view.
Helen Eugene : [enters] You'd be suprised how many of us are very happy people. There are enormous amounts of women friends that I have that are so happy now at being alone because they're finding themselves.
Danny's Friend : Oh, well happiness I don't know about. I've always been deeply suspicious of that line the Founding Fathers wished on us. "The pursuit of happiness." I'm not very much in favor of that. I think we should be full of joy whenever there's a reason to have joy. But I think happiness is not our right. It's an achievement. It's a bit of luck.
