CONVERSATIONS WITH THE CARDINAL

 Is there someone in your circle that everyone wants to talk to,

be it for advice, 
to debate important matters, 

or simply just to pass the time with idle conversation?

Over the last three years, 

I've noticed that there are many who flock from far and wide 

to my backyard, to speak with The Cardinal.

Engaging in a bit of espionage, 

I've been secretly recording conversations and encounters with The Cardinal.

No sources -- just good, old-fashioned first-hand investigative reporting.

I can verify beyond a shadow of a doubt,

that all of these tête-à-têtes, did in fact, take place. 

Here are just some of the meetings I've witnessed.

  "Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me. Aren't you?"

 

 "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse."

 "May the force be with you." 

 

"Love means never having to say you're sorry."

"I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!"

"You talkin' to me?"

"I am your father."

 "What'choo talkin' about, Willis?"

"I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. 
I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it."

 "Let's hug it out, bitch." 

 "You know how to whistle, Steve, don't you? You just put your lips together and blow." 

"I'll be back."

 "You is kind. You is smart. You is important." 

"Ruh-Roh."

  "I want to be alone."

"What we've got here is a failure to communicate."

"I see dead people."

"Houston, we have a problem."

 "You look mah-velous!"

 "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn."

 "I'm the king of the world!"
 
 

 "We'll always have Paris."

"Here's lookin' at you, kid."
