He'd [Jules Furthman] been writing a thing for Bacall for an introduction - really good scene, where she'd had her purse stolen. He said, "What do you think of it?" and I said, "Well, Jules, if anything makes me sexually excited it's a girl who's lost her purse." And he looked bemused and began to stare at me. "You son of a bitch," he said, and he walked out. And he came in and he wrote a story about how the girl stole a purse. Made a lot better picture.
