Robert Stephens: Merrick

Quotes 

• Cesar Valentin : Have we met?

  Merrick : Eh, my name is Merrick. Horace T. Merrick. No doubt you have heard of me.

  Cesar Valentin : Horace T. Merrick? Oh! Yes. The Nobel Prize for literature. Aren't you the man who didn't get it?

• Cesar Valentin : The story of a young man waiting for a telephone call from his mother or his lover or who was it?

  Merrick : His brother who was his lover.

  Cesar Valentin : That's right. The phone call didn't come, the young man fell asleep on the sofa, when he woke up there was still no phone call, and you squeezed all that into four hundred pages. Amazing.
