hwpThe place, New York City.
The time, now, 1962.
And theres no time
or place like it.
If youve got a dream...
this is the place
to make that dream come true.
Thats why the soaring population
of hopeful dreamers...
has just reached
eight million people.
Oh! Make that
eight million and one.
Hey, taxi! Taxi!
Hey, wait!
Where are you going?
Down with the bomb!
Down with the bomb!
Down with the bomb!
Down with the bomb!
- Down with the bomb!
- Barbara?
- "Oh."
- Barbara Novak?
- Oh, I think so.
- Oh, thank goodness youre here!
- Vikki?
Vikki Hiller, your editor,
in the flesh.
It is so nice to finally
meet you in person.
My goodness,
youre gorgeous!
Were gonna set up a photo shoot
for the book jacket.
Theres plenty of time. The book doesnt
come out for a week. One week!
Oh, my! Dont be nervous.
Cigarette?
Barbara, this is my secretary Gladys.
Gladys, Barbara Novak.
Oh, I know. Its a pleasure.
Hello, Gladys! Im glad to finally have
a face to put with the voice.
Vick, I need you
to sigh off on this pronto.
Maurice Johns, art director.
Barbara Novak, your cover!
- " Oh, Maurice!"
I love it!
Down With Love.
Hear! Hear!
I only wish somebody had written
your book years ago...
before it was too late for me.
Gladys, its never too late.
Great job. Sorry if the guys in New
Production have been riding your tail.
Im not.
Theyre ready for you
in the lions den.
- Lions den?
- Oh, dont worry. Youll be fine.
Just take a deep breath.
Gentlemen, this is Miss Novak.
- E.G.
- C.B.
- C.W.
- J.B.
- J.R.
- R.J.
- Okay.
- "O.K. Cant make it."
- Hes down with T.B.
- Oh, what a shame. Is it serious?
No, theyre just having breakfast.
T.B. Is Theodore Banner.
You know, the owner of Banner House,
the fellow publishing your little book?
Thats his portrait, there.
Forgive me if we kept you
waiting, but Barbara hit a storm...
on her way down from Maine.
- So youve come down from Maine, huh?
- You remember, C.B.
Miss Novak is
the farmers daughter librarian...
who spent the long,
cold New England winter...
writing her manuscript
by the light of a lonely oil lamp.
Im at a loss here, ladies.
Im afraid I dont know exactly
what Miss Novaks book is about.
Miss Novaks book is a serious work
"of nonfiction entitled"...
Vikki, excuse me.
Its right behind you.
Would you mind pouring me
a cup of coffee?
Its a serious work of nonfiction...
"entitled" Down With Love.
- This is empty.
- "If youre making a fresh pot,"
Ill have a cup.
- Count me in.
- "Likewise."
- Ditto.
- None for me, Vikki.
- Thanks, R.J.
- Ill have a Sanka.
As I was saying, the central thesis
"of Miss Novaks book," Down With Love...
is that women will never be happy
until they become...
independent as individuals by achieving
equal participation in the workforce.
And how do you propose
women do this, Miss Novak?
By saying, "Down with love."
Love is a distraction.
If women were to stop falling in love,
it would mean the end of the human race.
Not at all.
I said women should refrain
from love, C. W"..."
not sex.
Isnt that the same thing?
I mean, for women.
It wont be, after theyve mastered the
three levels Ive outlined in my book...
that will teach any woman
to live life the way a man does.
Level one instructs women
to abstain from men altogether...
so theyll stop thinking that
the pleasures experienced during
the sex act are related to love.
Theyre not,
as women will learn...
by practicing the self-pleasuring
technique that Ive detailed...
in chapter seven entitled...
"Up With Chocolate. "
- You see, gentlemen...
the female experiences
a biological reaction to chocolate...
that triggers the same
pleasurable responses as are
triggered during the sex act.
By substituting chocolate for sex...
the female will soon learn
the difference between sex and love.
Love for a man will
no longer occupy her mind.
She will now find that she has
the time and the energy...
to move on to level two...
where taking on new challenges will lead
to the self-sufficience of level three...
where the woman becomes active
in the workplace...
and earns and achieves
an unequivocal equality...
with men.
And all this time the woman
is abstaining from sex?
Heavens no!
By level three, she can have sex
whenever she likes, without love...
and enjoy it the way a man does...
la carte.
Well, Miss Novak, your "theories..."
may have worked with
the gentlemen up in Maine...
but the men in Manhattan are not the fine,
upstanding, straightforward men of Maine.
The men of Manhattan are devious.
Theyre dangerous. Theyll be
coming at you from every angle.
While youre watching your front,
theyll attack from the rear!
And while youre protecting your rear,
theyll drop out of the sky.
Adios.
Oh, one more kiss!
Easy, baby.
Be careful you dont fall out.
Bye-bye!
Very good. Ill let him know.
Mr. MacMannus? Catcher Block
has just landed on the roof.
KNOW "magazine."
- Are you Catcher Blocks secretary?
- Yes, Mr. MacMannus.
Im Sally. Im new.
Theyre always new.
When he gets in, tell him to see me.
Hes fired.
- Youre fired!
- No,
