Dude was funny. I’ll grant that. I still get a chuckle out of that scene in Murder By Death where he tells Detective Wang (Peter Sellers) , “Say your g*ddamn pronouns!”
Off color remarks by the convicts as Capote passed them on the way to interview the In Cold Blood killer:
“Why don’t you come over here and (#@%#) me?”
Capote: “Yours is too short to reach through the bars.”
“Come over and (@%$#) me.”
Capote: “I’ve sworn off between meals snacks.”
When the killer jumps at him in the cell and tries to strangle him, Capote punches back and saves himself before the guard can get to the cell.
