CONVERSATIONS WITH GRANDPA

“DID YOU KNOW DEEDEE REACHER?”
“What? Did he reach her?”
“DEE-DEE REACH-ER.”
“Oh, DeeDee Reacher. The hotsy-totsy who was caught in a closet with that kid, Rock Hudson.”
“YOU KNEW HER, RIGHT?”
“Who wants to know?”
“DAN LAZAR.”
“Swifty’s boy?”
“GREAT-GRANDSON.”
“What’s he want with DeeDee? She died in forty-eight. Went down in an airplane.”
“HE’S WRITING A BOOK...”
“I told DeeDee, ‘Stay outta planes, they’re dangerous.’”
“ABOUT THE OLD DAYS IN HOLLYWOOD.”
“Closets are safer.”
“WILL YOU TALK WITH HIM?”
“She was something to see in a sparkly red dress. And when she danced...”
“GRANDPA? ... You asleep?”


“Maybe tomorrow, Mr. Lazar.”
