Pretty sure that's not what I was suppose to get from it
I remember Gore Vidal & T. Capote on Johnny Carson years ago.
Some energy between them, it seemed.

Capote came on after Vidal.
Johnny was asking about "writer's block."
Capote was slowly and boringly rambling on.
Vidal interrupted/chimed in about how Capote sits at his desk all day and only writes one word.
Capote turned slowly to Vidal, in his supercilious voice said, "Yes Gore. But it's the *right* word."
