F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Love of the Last Tycoon:
Sorry, I am not submitting a quotation, but asking for one. In the film adaptation streamed for one season, a few years ago, Kelsey Grammar played the lead. Toward the end of the last installment, his daughter, when responding to her father's question about business she might want to go into, she said something like show business is the only business. I'd like to get it right. Can you send me the conversation with that response? Don't know if it was taken directly from the book or if it was in the screenplay only. Thank you so much in advance, for any help you might have on this.
