Hecky.
I was just telling you
that girl was the reason.
Was she also the reason
you signed a petition
for Loyalist Spain?
Did I do that?
And Russian war relief?
We were on the same side,
weren't we?
That girl with the big ass,
she was the reason.
Honestly.
Would you say, then,
that you were duped?
Tell me what it means
and I'll say it.
You want it in writing?
Tell me what to write.
It has to come
from you, Mr. Brown.
Hecky.
From your heart.
It has no value otherwise.
It'll come. Don't worry.
I'm an actor.
What do I know about politics?
My whole life has been acting.
People from all over the country
write me letters.
Write me a letter, Mr. Brown,
in your own words.
How you were duped,
how you feel about it now.
I'm against it 100%.
Whoever else you remember
was in that parade.
Who asked you to sign
those petitions.
It was such a long time ago.
Try to remember.
Sincerity is the key,
Mr. Brown.
Anyone can make a mistake.
The man who repents
sincerely-
I repent sincerely.
Write me the letter, Mr. Brown.
I'll see what I can do.
And I didn't even get laid.
Now, stand by, everybody.
We have 30 seconds to air.
Can I see opening shots, please?
Camera one.
Fine. Two's good.
Three, frame up, please.
Tilt up.
That's it.
It looks good.
Watch your boom.
All right, stand by
to dim the lights...
And, uh, okay...
Dim them down.
Looks nice.
Ten...
nine...
eight... seven...
six...
five... four...
three... two... one.
And fade up on three.
This is my station,
Grand Central,
where a million stories
start and finish.
And Hecky the Hackie
knows them all.
Tonight, have I got
a story for you.
Remember last week
you laughed a lot?
Well, tonight,
you may cry a little.
See for yourself
on Grand Central.
Me?
I'll go make up with my cab.
See you later.
A-doo doo, dee dee dee...
Joey.
Joey?
Pop...
Pa, it's only $4000.
Why, it's almost nothing.
I can pay you back
in a couple of years.
Looks nice.
And ready to go in.
Right in... Tight close-up.
Stand by to go to black.
30 seconds to credit.
Studio 12.
Yes.
Thank you.
I thought so too.
It was terrific.
Thank you.
Who was it?
Studio 12.
God.
Hello.
Well, thank you.
Yes, thank you very much.
Um, yes, I'll tell everybody.
Well, I think we got a winner.
Studio 12.
Hey, Howard Prince!
Bravo! Bravo!
Bravo!
I usually don't
drink wine at lunch.
It makes me sleepy.
Yeah? So why don't you
just take a nap after?
I have to work.
Well, then,
you know, I think-
on a Sunday night.
I think it'd be better.
But you don't like Sunday,
so what about Saturday?
What about Friday?
Regular night?
Howard, I really
