• Frances Kroll : Scott, tell me about Zelda.

  F. Scott Fitzgerald : I met her at a dance when I was 21. She was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. When she looked at me she looked at me she looked right inside me. Way deep with a look that said "Well hello there old thing where have you been all these years? Whats been keeping you?" I proposed. She turned me down because I had no prospects. So, I retired to the attic of my parents house in St Pauls and I wrote This Side of Paradise which made me rich. I proposed again. This time she accepted and we were very bad together for about ten years. New York, Paris, Rome, French Riviera. I drank and she slowly went mad. Heres the truth. Heres the really odd thing. I still love her so much it makes my heart crack. She my girl you know. Theres something delicious, so smart inside all that craziness.
