Mrs. Green: Oh, you mean, there's enough anti-Semitism in real life without people reading about it?

Phil Green: Ma, I've got it! I've got the idea, the angle, the lead. I'll be Jewish! Why, all I've got to do is just say it! No one around here knows me. I can live with myself for six weeks, eight weeks, nine months. Ma, this is it!
Mrs. Green: It must be. It always is when you're this sure.
Phil Green: Ma, listen, I've even got the title. "I Was Jewish for Six Months."
Mrs. Green: It's right, Phil.
Phil Green: Ma, it's like this click just happened inside me. It won't be the same, sure, but it'll be close. I can just tell them I'm Jewish and see what happens.
Mrs. Green: It'll work fine, Phil.
Phil Green: Dark hair, dark eyes. Just like Dave. Just like a lot of guys who aren't Jewish. No accent, no mannerisms. Neither has Dave.
