Quote of the Day (Ian Frazier, on That Romantic Triangle, Post-‘Casablanca’)

“December 10. Mrs. Laszlo still does not seem to be her old self—I’m not sure why. Last night in her sleep, she kept saying something like ‘Looking at you kids’ over and over. Once, I heard her say, distinctly, ‘Here’s looking at Yul, kid!’ Who could that be? Yul Brynner? How does she know him? Then she woke up, saw me, and burst into tears.”— Ian Frazier, “Shouts and Murmurs: Victor Laszlo’s Blog,” The New Yorker, Sept. 18, 2017
