I think this is a little different because it’s part of the character and done on purpose. It wasn’t like Fitzgerald was obsessed with calling people old sport and had everyone call each other that like he was trying to make fetch happen.

I think novelizations have the potential to be cool, but the few that I have read felt kind of soulless. They just describe what was on the screen.
