What It Was Like, Seeing André
When Wallace Shawn mentions Deborah Eisenberg in My Dinner with André:
- “It was now seven o’clock and I would have liked nothing better than to go home and have my girlfriend Debby cook me a nice delicious dinner.”
- “…so we talked for a while about my writing and my acting, and about my girlfriend Debby.”
- “Last Christmas, Debby and I were given an electric blanket…”
- When Debby was working as a secretary, you know, if she would tell people what she did, they would just go insane! I mean, it would be just as if she’d said: “Oh, well! I’ve been serving a life sentence recently for child murdering!”
- “I live my life, I enjoy staying home with Debby. I’m reading Charlton Heston’s autobiography, and that’s that! I mean, you know, I mean, occasionally maybe Debby and I will step outside, we’ll go to a party or something, and if I can occasionally get my little talent together and write a little play, well then that’s just wonderful.”
- “I mean, in other words, if I’m sitting at home and I have nothing to do, well, I’d naturally reach for a book. I mean, what would be so great about just sitting there and doing nothing? It just seems absurd. [ANDRE asks: And if Debby is there? Wallace pauses.] Well that’s just the same thing. I mean…I mean, is there really such a thing as two people doing nothing but just being together? I mean, would they simply be “relating,” to use the word we’re always using? I mean, what would that mean? I mean…I mean, either we’re gonna have a conversation, or we’re going to carry out the garbage, or, we’re gonna do something, separately or together. I mean, do you see what I’m saying? I mean, what does it mean to just simply sit there?”
- “When I finally came in, Debby was home from work. And I told her everything about my dinner with André.”
