• Connie : You know where I first met her? She was married to a poet named Millstein. He was a house painter, so I hired him to paint my living room. I didn't know Anita. I didn't know Millstein. So he comes over and I tell him to paint the living room off-white. You know how tall Anita is? Millstein was a head taller. He was like an eagle. Yeah, so, he started painting the room, and, uh, I went into the bathroom to read. About an hour later I come back to see maybe he wants coffee, something. I walk out, I see the room doesn't look as if it's been painted at all. And I see that he is dipping his brush into thin air, right next to the can of paint. He is painting the wall with make-believe paint! So I... I, uh... I called his house and Anita answered. And she came over and she took him home. And that, my dears, is how I met Anita Cunningham.
