In the movie
Jimmy states what Margaret's ad for a pen-pal said
does anyone know what the ad said?
i know what the quote from the first mentioned letter said
but the ad is the key not because it first grabbed his attention as he was reading the paper

Kralik: Now you know I can't afford a new encyclopedia. So, I was looking through the ads in the Sunday paper and I got on the wrong page and I came across this ad and wait a minute I have it right here. Here, read that.
Pirovich: Modern girl wishes to correspond on cultural subjects anonymously with intelligent, sympathetic young male. Address: Dear Friend, Post Office 15, Box 237. I know those ads, papers are full of them. How long has this been going on?
I hope that is what you were looking for.
