Toot’s Shor’s Saloon, December 21, 1958(Arthur Miller walks into Toot’s Shors with his wife Marilyn)
Toots: Hey Artie, I am glad you showed up. Let me sit you guys over here. Get them some drinks you crumb bum.
Marilyn: Thanks Toots. I hope Joe isn’t here again?
Toots: Nah he went home to Frisco for the holidays. But there is someone I want Artie to meet. Can I steal him for a minute?
Marilyn: Sure Toots.
(Toots drags Miller by hand to a back room. In it is a single table with a small nondescript obviously Jewish man with glasses drinking a cup of tea)
Arthur Miller: What’s going on Toots?
Toots: Artie I want you to meet Mr. Lansky. Mr. Lansky this is Artie Miller.
Meyer Lansky: Please call me Meyer. Nice to meet such a famous man of letters. And a lantzman no less. Oy.
Arthur Miller: Hello Mr. Lansky. I have heard of you as well.
Meyer Lansky: Well don’t believe what you read in the funny papers. Now I don’t like to but into other peoples business but it seems something has come up.
Arthur Miller: What might that be Mr. Lansky?
Meyer Lansky: It’s the shiska. You know that she is DiMaggio’s girl. He thinks they are going to get back together. He reached out to someone and they reached out to me.
Arthur Miller: But I love her Mr. Lansky. I never thought I would, but I do.
Meyer Lanksy: Well the dago reached out to Albert and he seems upset. He’s very touchy Albert is.
Toots: Anastasia?
Meyer Lanksy: Yes. I don’t have the juice I used to have when Benny was around. But I will see what I can do. I just think it might be a good idea if you avoid DiMaggio from here on in, Nu you little shemdrake.
Arthur Miller: Certainly Mr. Lansky. And thanks.
Meyer Lansky: Don’t mention. I mean it. Don’t mention it. Ever. I just hope a blow job is worth it.
Toots: Hey Artie, I am glad you showed up. Let me sit you guys over here. Get them some drinks you crumb bum.
Marilyn: Thanks Toots. I hope Joe isn’t here again?
Toots: Nah he went home to Frisco for the holidays. But there is someone I want Artie to meet. Can I steal him for a minute?
