CHARLTON HESTON.

I CAN'T GET OVER IT.

IT'S JUST THAT--

I EXPECTED YOU:

TO LOOK MUCH OLDER.

THANKS, TRACY.

I TAKE CARE OF MYSELF.

HOW OLD ARE YOU?

WHO KNOWS?

AFTER THE FIRS 2 MILLION YEARS,

I STOPPED COUNTING.

IT'S AWKWARD

TALKING LIKE THIS.

WOW! HOW'D

YOU DO THAT?

IF I COULD PAR THE RED SEA,

I CAN CERTAINLY:

MOVE TO THE FRON OF A CAR.

IT'S REFRESHING

TALKING TO A YOUNG

LADY LIKE YOU.

TAKES MY MIND OFF

SOME OF MY PROBLEMS.

YOU HAVE PROBLEMS?

YEAH. I'M NOT ALWAYS

ON CLOUD NINE.

THEY'RE STILL NO GETTING MY MESSAGE.

I'M JUST NOT IN

PEOPLE'S THOUGHTS.

THEY DON' BELIEVE IN ME

LIKE THEY SHOULD.

I DO, AND I'M NO SAYING THAT JUS BECAUSE YOU'RE HERE.

I KNOW, BU THERE ARE PEOPLE

WHO THINK OF ME:

ONLY A COUPLE:

OF TIMES A YEAR.

THEN OTHERS DON' THINK OF ME AT ALL

UNTIL THA VERY LAST MINUTE--

AND THEN, BOY, DO I

HEAR FROM THEM.

PEOPLE HAVE TO BE

REMINDED THA I'M STILL AROUND.

THEN COME UP WITH ONE

OF YOUR BIG MIRACLES.

THAT WOULD REALLY

SHAKE THEM UP.

AH. PEOPLE

REMEMBER THE MIRACLE

AND FORGE WHY I DID IT.

I'VE GOT IT.

MY DAD'S IN THAT BUSINESS.

YOU SHOULD ADVERTISE.

TELEVISION, RADIO,

BILLBOARDS, NEWSPAPERS.

GET A SLOGAN.

A SLOGAN?

TRACY, I'M NOT A TUBE

OF TOOTHPASTE.

SLOGANS REALLY WORK.

YOU'LL BECOME

A HOUSEHOLD WORD.

HOUSEHOLD WORD.

YEAH. THAT WOULD BE

NICE FOR A CHANGE.

ALL RIGHT, TRACY.

YOU'VE GOT YOURSELF

A JOB.

YOU THINK:

OF A SLOGAN,

AND I'LL SPREAD I AROUND.

I'LL ASK MY DAD.

HE'S GREAT.

NO. I HAVEN' BEEN DOING TOO WELL

WITH GROWNUPS LATELY.

I'D RATHER

IT CAME FROM YOU.

ME? I'M THE WORLD'S

WORST WRITER,

AND MY SPELLING:

IS THE PITS.

I DON'T TAKE OFF

FOR SPELLING.

SEE, IF IT COMES

FROM YOU,

IT'LL BE SOMETHING

THAT YOUR FRIENDS

CAN UNDERSTAND.

THAT WAY, I'LL HAVE

THE CHILDREN:

ON MY SIDE.

AND WHEN THEY:

GROW UP, I'LL HAVE

THEIR CHILDREN.

ONCE YOU'VE GO THE CHILDREN,

THAT'S

THE BALL GAME.

THEN I'LL BE ABLE

TO TAKE CARE:

OF A FEW THINGS--

LIKE ALL THA POLLUTION.

AND HAVE YOU NOTICED

YOU'RE RUNNING OU OF EAGLES?

AND THERE ARE:

A FEW VOLCANOES THA NEED COOLING OFF.

WHAT DO YOU SAY,

TRACY?

WILL YOU COME UP

WITH A SLOGAN?

OK. I'LL SURE TRY.

GOOD.

I CAN'T BELIEVE

THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME.

NOBODY ELSE WILL,

EITHER.

WHO CAN SEE:

OR HEAR ME.

TELL THEM ABOU OUR VISITS, THEY'LL

THINK YOU'RE, UM...

Josh Greenfeld

Josh Greenfeld (27 February 1928 – 11 May 2018) was an author and screenwriter mostly known for his screenplay for the 1974 film Harry and Tonto along with Paul Mazursky, which earned them an Academy Award nomination and its star, Art Carney, the Oscar itself for Best Actor. Greenfeld also wrote Oh, God! Book II and the TV special Lovey and is the author of several books about his autistic son, Noah Greenfeld. The trilogy, A Child Called Noah, A Place for Noah, and A Client Called Noah, detail the effects that Noah's disabilities place on the Greenfelds and the extraordinary lengths that the family went through to find the very best care available for their son. His wife, Fumiko Kometani, is a Japanese writer and has won the Akutagawa Prize, Japan's most prestigious literary award; she too wrote about their son and his developmental disability. His older son, Karl Taro Greenfeld, a special contributor to Portfolio and Details, wrote his own story of growing up with Noah entitled Boy Alone: A Brother's Memoir.Among Greenfeld's plays are Clandestine on the Morning Line, I Have a Dream, The Last Two Jews of Kabul, Whoosh!, and Canal Street. His novels include O for a Master of Magic, The Return of Mr. Hollywood, and What Happened Was This. In 1968, Greenfeld signed the "Writers and Editors War Tax Protest" pledge, vowing to refuse tax payments in protest against the Vietnam War.Greenfeld attended Brooklyn College; he received a BA from the University of Michigan and an MA from Columbia University. more…
