The line that I like the most is "What am I to tell my clients?" That is a wacky idea Hitler with clients. My least favorite line "Satlin is still using film."
Claire,
That quip about Stalin is rooted in history and practicality.
My boy was in the Navy a few years back and he came upon a "space age" (60's) joke about how we do things, east vs west.
When the space race started the "West", America and the high-tech revolution, spent millions (as I remember, it's been a while
) to make a pen that would write upside down or in space.
The "East" Russia simply used pencils.
I remember that pen and the joke from my childhood and thinking how backward they were and how much superior we were. The context has changed for me.
I love pencils and paper, they are the basic analog equivalents of a word processor and Corel painter and a CAD program for under $1. Pens by contrast, regardless of the cost are; inelegant, uncorrectable, they skip (create noise), and are not easily reparable.
