Begin said, "Parts of the document are deeply appreciated and positive?a beautiful number [paragraph] on Jerusalem. We appreciate your efforts, but we have a proposal for some changes." Barak began, paragraph by paragraph. The first proposals were to delete all references to Resolution...

The hint in the title--which refers to the curtain line of Allen's best-received work, Annie Hall--is amplified on the back cover, where the paragraph containing the line appears in toto. It is also to be found on page 114, again in full, and at numerous other points in the text. If the reader prefers excerpts from Love and Death, or Bananas, or the early nightclub routines, or just pictures with explanations, they...
