David Lowe: Harper's Driver

Quotes 

• Harper's Driver : [picking Harper up on the tarmac]  Office or home, sir?

  Harold Harper : Neither. I got to go see a friend.

  [Harper is ushered into the mansion by the butler, walking past photographs of Bote with Reagan and Gorbachev, and Bote with Nixon] 

  Morgan Bote : [Harper enters a room, a man is sitting at an easel, facing a bay window with his back to Harper]  Just a moment. The light's perfect right now. The New York Times called today to read me my obituary. A very nice girl named Janine read it to me. I quite enjoyed it. Like peeking through the curtains into some forbidden room.

  Harold Harper : I'll bet. What did she say?

  Morgan Bote : I don't really remember. Mm, the things you'd expect. It wasn't what she said so much as how she said it. But how nice it will be, in those final moments as the light is dying, knowing what everyone will read in the paper the morning after and knowing it will be good.
