HAPGOOD:
Woman of science? You're a fake! You really want your Cookies to take those waters! You'd like to soak in them yourself!
FAY:
All right. Yes, I would. I need a miracle.
I can't laugh-not really. I can't whistle.
HAPGOOD:
Nonsense.
FAY:
No, it's true, I can't play the piano by ear. When I was little I walked into a music store, I sat down at a shiny grand piano-and I played. Well, you can take piano lessons, use a metronome, learn, control and order. But you can't take lessons in whistling. So-your woman of science. Every walk I take, every street, every year, I wait. My mouth waits-but I can't.
