Quote from Elaine in The Maestro
Maestro: You know, I'm sorry but, I didn't mention it earlier but actually I preferred to be called Maestro. Elaine: Excuse me? Maestro: Well, you know, I am a conductor. Elaine: Yeah, so? Maestro: Oh, I suppose it's okay for Leonard Bernstein to be called Maestro because he conducted the New York Philharmonic. So he gets to be called Maestro and I don't. Elaine: Well, I mean, don't you think that he was probably called Maestro while he was conducting. Not in social situations. I mean his friends probably just called him Lenny. Maestro: I happen to know for a fact that he was called Maestro in social situations. I once saw him at a bar and somebody came up to him and said, "Hello, Maestro. How about a beer?" Okay, so that's a fact. Elaine: Maestro huh? Okay. Maestro. [they toast]
