Which of the following is NOT Phil’s idea of a big city ? [br]
M: Tell me, Aurelia, what does this big enormous -- er -- whopping city say? It must have a voice of some kind. Does it ever speak to you? How do you interpret its meaning? It is a tremendous mass, but it must have a key.
W: Like a Saratoga trunk, Phil?
M: No. Please do not refer to the lid. I have a fancy that every city has a voice. Each one has something to say to the one who can hear it. What does the big one say to you?
W: All cities say the same thing. When they get through saying it there is an echo from Philadelphia. So, they are unanimous.
M: Here are 4,000,000 people compressed upon an island, which is mostly lamb surrounded by Wall Street water. The conjunction of so many units into so small a space must result in an identity, rather a homogeneity that finds its oral expression through a common channel. It is, as you might say, a consensus of translation, concentrating in a crystallized, general idea which reveals itself in what may be termed the Voice of the City. Can you tell me what it is?
W: Well, I don’t know what to say, Phil.
M: I must go and find out what is the Voice of this city. Other cities have voices. It is an assignment. I must have it. New York had better not hand me a cigar and say:” Old man, I can’t talk for publication."
W: No other city acts in that way. Chicago says, unhesitatingly, "I will"; Philadelphia says, "I should"; New Orleans says, "I used to"; Louisville says, "Don’t care if I do"; St. Louis says, "Excuse me"; Pittsburg says, "Smoke up." Now, New York ...
M: Very well, I must go elsewhere and find out.
