So, what do you want?

I want the golf cart.

-No, it was a gift from Arnold.|-I'm kidding.

-I can have anything?|-Yeah. Within reason.

I want my job back.

-Don't do this to me--|-Have a great junket. Tell me how it went.

All right. Yes.

If you get Eddie and Gwen back together,|you can have your job back.

-Where are we booked?|-Four Seasons, Beverly Hills.

Cancel. We need to get these people|in the middle of nowhere.

Once they know there's no movie,|they can't escape.

We need a hotel like the one|in The Shining. Isolated.

The new Hyatt in Nevada?|It's in the desert, and it's just opening.

Book it. We have to keep|the press entertained and on the go.

The best junkets are when the press thinks|it's not about the movie, but them.

Program the sh*t out of them:|Cocktail parties, hayrides, circle jerks.

Keep them from remembering they|haven't seen the movie they're to review.

What about gifts?

The movie's about a cop|who travels through time, so I did a gun.

-You're giving press members a gun?|-It's not real.

We'll do a really nice bag.|Call the bag man.

Diamond earrings for the ladies,|money clips for the men.

Chocolate truffles, the best perfume.

I don't want this to be awkward for you...

...but I've got some work to do.

-How will you get Eddie and Gwen there?|-Don't worry. I know somebody.

I love you. I'd do anything for you.|You're just asking an awful lot.

A junket with Eddie|isn't high on Gwen's list of priorities.

No lilies. Take them out.

Yes. I understand.

Yes. Excuse me, hold on.|Could you please put that out?

-This is perfect for Gwen.|-I can't accept unsolicited material.

Just warning you it'll be a bit of a fight.|I'll do what I can.

God help us.

Commercial break. When we come back,|you know the scenario.

I've been here before Larry.

When the tape rolls,|look right at that camera.

Talk right to the caller.

-Right down the tube.|-Okay, five seconds.

Let's go to phone calls on Larry King Live.

White Plains, you're on the air|with Gwen Harrison.

Hi, Larry.

Gwen, hi. I used to be a big fan...

...but I'm sorry, I can't get over what|happened with you and Eddie. I'm so sick.

I can't sleep at night. How can you?

Well....

You sleep next to a very handsome|young Spanish gentleman, don't you?

Let's go to our next call.|Rock lsland, Illinois. Hello.

Hi Larry. Gwen, I saw your latest movie.

Thank you.

I couldn't sit through it.|I can't watch you without Eddie, it's not the same.

This has to be hard to hear. Your last|two movies, ones without Eddie...

...crashed and burned at the box office.

They were very big in Europe|and huge in Japan, actually.

It's got to be tough.|Two unsuccessful movies in a row.
