• 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.
