Marvin Lewis (ML): “I said, Don’t worry about my personal life. Don’t concern yourself with it.
Michael McCracken (MM): “Oh, I can make you life a paradise. You’ll have a different woman every day. I have beautiful women. Do you want a blonde? Do you want a redhead?
ML: What is this? Are they for a price? Are they prostitutes?
MM: Heavens no. These are all gals with good backgrounds and come from fine families.
ML: Well, what goes?
MM: Oh, that’s the trouble. I thought you were really with it, but you’re really not. In a way you are, but you’re not completely. The Marvin Lewis that I think I see should have the same mentality as I have and you should have what I’m offering you in every way. You’d have a much fuller life and a much happier and enjoyable life.
Marvin Lewis to June: To me, the idea of him just expecting to sit there and watch me copulate was unbelievable.
So the next week my receptionist said that McCracken was in the outer office and had a gift for me. So I said, ‘Have him come in.’ So he came in with another girl. She sat over there [pointing at a chair] and he said, ‘I want you to meet this girl and I want you [the girl] to meet Marvin Lewis’.
He said, ‘I’ve told everybody over at the beach [Princeton-by-the-Sea] what a fabulous person I find you to be’. And he said, ‘I thought you should have this type of woman in your life.’ So he said, whatever her name was, ‘Go around the desk and ball him’.
You gotta be kidding, I said.
