Quote:
"On the central screen, we were shown a film created specially for this gala: Bill's Hat. It began with shots of several chubby ladies in their nighties slow-motioning through the woods. They carried a fur hat which they tossed around whenever they thought of it. A dog accompanied them; there's no accounting for tastes. The audience behaved amazingly, considering the circumstances. Only a few gauche insensitives laughed, and one lady even chirruped: 'It's beautiful!' Soon, the central screen got to the main business, showing all kinds of people trying on the fur hat. [...] Ah, the excitement."
