Forrest, fresh from his China trip with the All-American Ping Pong Team, is a guest on the Dick Cavett Show with John Lennon, recorded September 8, broadcast on ABC September 12 and 19.

CAVETT: You had quite a trip. Can you, uh, tell us, uh, what was China like?
GUMP: Well, in the land of China, people hardly got nothing at all.
LENNON: No possessions?
GUMP: And in China, they never go to church.
LENNON: No religion, too?
CAVETT: Oh. Hard to imagine.
LENNON: Well, it's easy if you try, Dick.

September 3: Married Life / Pandora & The Flying Dutchman

"When are you and Steven getting married?"

"September third is the date we've set."

A date within a movie within a movie. When Richard Langley goes to the cinema (the Hollywood Theatre in Vancouver, as a matter of fact) in "Married Life," he's watching "Pandora and the Flying Dutchman," and we hear these two lines of dialogue. Though the scene in "Married Life" supposedly takes place in fall, 1949, "Pandora" wasn't in fact released until 1951.
