Yes? In the back.
Hey, Fran.
I actually never heard of you before.
That's really a good way to break the ice.
Ladies and gentlemen, the one and only Fran Lebowitz.
People are frequently infuriated by me
because I am filled with opinions.
In New York, there are millions of people,
and the only person looking where she's going is me.
I should write a manifesto,
the title of which would be Pretend It's a City.
It would take one subway ride
for the Dalai Lama to turn into a lunatic, raging person.
I'm the only person who's lived in New York as long as I have
who has never made a correct real estate decision.
Do people buy books here?
At this kiosk? No.
Is it fair to bring a book into Times Square?
It's not fair to the book.
People wanna challenge themselves.
I find real life challenging enough.
Does complaining change anything?
Not so far.
Of course, I'm a young woman.
