From the Back Cover
Un autre dimanche, un mois plus tard. Le livre est terminé. La saison du base-ball a repris. J'appelle Wilder chez lui. Quand il me répond, j'entends sa radio qui diffuse le match à plein volume. "Qui est à l'appareil ?" demande-t-il. Je le lui dis. "Qui ?" Je dis mon nom un peu plus fort. "Qui est-ce ?" Maintenant je hurle.
"Ne quittez pas", dit-il avec entrain. Il va baisser la radio à l'autre bout de la pièce. Pendant un moment, je n'entends que le bruit de sa canne frappant le sol. Il reprend l'appareil. "Excusez-moi pour le retard. Qui est à l'appareil ?" Je le lui dis à nouveau. Il est heureux de m'entendre, dit-il, et content du match des Dodgers aussi. Son ton est extrêmement chaleureux. À l'époque de nos premières conversations, Wilder avait demandé s'il pourrait vérifier ses propos plus tard. Ignorant si cette requête est toujours valable, je lui propose de relire tout le manuscrit. Billy Wilder refuse immédiatement.
Après toutes nos discussions sur tous ces films aux intrigues finement agencées, sur les personnages et les comédiens, après les explications de circonstances importantes ou mineures, les détails d'une vie bien remplie, et ses refus insistants d'accorder à tout cela une importance exagérée, il me laisse avec précisément ce qu'il a laissé au monde : un sens de l'humour doux-amer et très authentique. La Wilder touch.
"Non, répond-il aimablement. Je ne veux pas relire." Une pause. "Comme ça, je pourrai toujours dire : « C'est n'importe quoi, ce truc ! »" [Extrait.]

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Papier Mouvant, Houilles, France, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
