I could feel my testosterone levels dropping just listening to that exchange. Truman Capote exuded more manliness.
Hah. Critically acclaimed movie Infamous (with Sandra Bullock as Harper Lee, author of To Kill a Mockingbird) had scenes of the name dropping Truman Capote saying he defeated Humphrey Bogart in arm wrestling. The Jeff Daniels detective laughs it off but then takes on the challenge. Capote beats him.
Says small people have to be stronger because they are not treated kindly by society.
