Magnum: Is there anybody you haven't known, or anything you haven't done?
Higgins: You're calling me a liar again.
Magnum: I'm calling you an exaggerator. Your memoirs read like a bad novel. Not that it's bad writing. No, it's kind of exciting ... very imaginative, very professional; not like that cheap pulp that Robin writes.
Higgins: How dare you!
Magnum: I was just quoting you. You're the one that's always saying that Robin's writing is cheap.
Higgins: I never said cheap! It's just not serious writing. That's the only real difference between the memoirs and the novels.
Magnum: "The" memoirs? "The" novels?
Higgins: I was using the article the to compare the works rather than the writers.
Magnum: Sure. Just how much writing have you done, Higgins?
