Look, Frank's got enough problems. His butler-masseuse is
about to unleash a tell-all book. An unauthorized musical
staging of his life is about to begin in Las Vegas. St.
Peter's probably giving him a rough time about the whole
Judith Exner thing, among other indiscretions. Let's not do
anything more to disturb the guy's restful peace by
misquoting him. The line is: "Just say the words and we'll
beat the birds down to Acapulco Bay." "The birds," not "our
birds." That leaves very little room for misinterpretation.
One may conceivably think he's talking about other airplanes
or maybe the rarer members of this group or even the
Hitchcock movie, but odds are he's talking about ...
birds.
