don't know the difference.

What's your name?

How come you're so cute?

It's good to see you.

Right this way.

What time's the press

conference? Got half an hour.

Hello, Hallie.

Now, if there's anything you need,

anything at all, just say the word.

We've got about half a dozen

movie people here.

Uh, Bud Broderick,

Joanna Camden just came in.

Rising Star is here. What are

you gonna do with the horse?

He's appearing onstage with Sonny Steele.

He's the cowboy we use in Ranch Breakfast.

Do you think

he's worth covering?

Well, there's better stuff

than that.

The cowboy's

a peach of a guy,

but that's just a lot

of"yups" and "shucks,"

and stufflike that.

He's no interview.

Better steer clear him.

I'll see you downstairs.

Bernie!

So, they don't want us

to talk to the cowboy.

Where do you want to start?

I gotta get a sandwich.

What do you mean,

"where do I want to start?"

Excuse me, please.

Where the hell is he?

I don't know. He's probably

drunk in Barstow somewhere.

Uh, excuse me.

Could you tell me if Mr. Sonny

Steele has checked in yet?

No, ma'am.

He's not listed.

It's an interesting

watchband.

Thank you.

It's Indian.

May I see it?

Sure.

Oh, it's lovely.

Why does Ampco say absolutely

no interviews with Sonny Steele?

Who told you that? One

of the people at Ampco.

That don't really mean

anything, you know.

Sonny hasn't been himself lately.

They've been a little down on him here.

But he's okay.

He's just a cowboy.

Sometimes he loses

the best part of himself.

What is the best part

of himself?

- You'd have to know him a long time to know that.

- How long have you known him?

Cowboys ain't easy to love

and they're harder to hold

And they'd rather give you

a song than diamonds and gold

Lone star belt buckles

and old faded Levi's

And each night

begins a new day

If you don't understand him

and he don't die young

He'll probably

just ride away

Hey, come on over here!

Let's go!

C'mon! That's it.

Sonny, where'n the hell

you been?

What's he doin' in a

parking lot? I don't know,

but he got here on time.

C'mon.

Press conference has started, and Danny Miles

has been waitin' all day to rehearse you.

Who's Danny Miles? Well,

here you are. Here you are.

What do I have to do? There's been

hell to pay, what with the newspapers.

So just behave yourself. Boy,

you smell like a tequila factory.

Here, no, take- Put these

Tic-Tacs in your mouth.

You're never gonna guess who I seen? Who?

Rush and Hawkman, and old Edgar. Yeah?

Hey, watch it there, partner!

They all send their hellos. Uh-huh.

Foggy Tates' wife Louise

gave me this handkerchief.

I told you he was in Barstow!

Smells just like her too.
