Joe Paxton : That's a great question, Louise. I'm curious to know the answer myself.
Andrew Paxton : Hello, Dad.
Joe Paxton : Son.
[turns to Margaret]
Joe Paxton : This must be Maggie.
Margaret Tate : Uh, Margaret.
Joe Paxton : Joe. Pleasure to meet you.
Margaret Tate : Pleasure's mine.
Joe Paxton : So why don't you tell us exactly what a book editor does. Besides taking writers out to lunch and getting bombed.
Mrs. McKittrick : Now that sounds like fun. No wonder you like being an editor.
Joe Paxton : No, Louise. Andrew's not an editor, he's an editor's assistant. Maggie here is the editor.
Margaret Tate : Margaret.
Jim McKittrick : So you're actually... Andrew's boss. Yeah. Well. How about that.
Joe Paxton : I think I'll get a refill.
