what I want out of you.

Yes, I'd like to know

what this was all about.

I want to put you on

our public relations campaign.

I need you not just to raise the image,

you gotta convince the public

that Lee-High Petroleum

has the publics interest at heart.

Oh! But... But why me?

Well, I mean,

look what you did for The Stuff!

You invented the name,

as I understand it.

You created the image and put

the whole sales pitch together.

That's why I don't have a lot

of time for petroleum companies.

Well, darling,

I'm not here to hire your agency.

I want to buy your agency

and put you in charge.

Oh! Oh! Um...

You want to buy the agency

and make?... That clarifies things.

Will you just sit right there one second.

Mitzi? Mitzi.

I want you to check out this guy

thoroughly and get back to me.

I want you to cancel my dinner date

and go get me a dress to wear.

No, problem.

Right away, Miss Kendall.

So, you were saying?

I do like to see a woman

with decision.

Pick your favorite restaurant.

Mm... Where are you staying?

The Sherry-Netherland.

Do they have room service

at the Sherry-Netherland?

My limousine's just outside.

So is mine.

I'm betting mine's bigger than yours.

( baby crying )

( scanners beeping )

- Hey, give me that!

- Give me that back!

What do you think you're doing?

Wait! Come back here, kid!

MAN ON PA:
Security to aisle seven,

please.

All security personnel

to aisle seven, please.

Oh, sh*t!

Get off me! Let me go!

Please!

Let go!

It's gonna kill you all!

( doorbell )

( growling )

( doorbell )

Hello, Mr Vickers.

I called you about an appointment.

Sure, the man

from Consumer Magazine?

- Yeah, that's right.

- Well, come on in.

( dog growling and snarling )

- Is he friendly?

- He's absolutely harmless.

- How old is he?

- One year.

- One year old? He's awful big.

- I feed him very well.

- Can I get you a drink?

- No, thanks. I'm off that now.

I'm glad to hear that. The liquor

can kill you. It ought to be outlawed.

Mr Vickers, how long have you been

with the Food and Drug Administration?

Almost 19 years.

Yeah, pretty soon

they'll be retiring me.

( growling )

And as I understand it,

you were part of the team

that tested and approved

a product called The Stuff.

They didn't have a name for it then.

They merchandised the hell out of it,

but we agreed it was a good product.

How long was it tested

before you approved it?

You've got to understand

that this is a dessert,

not a prescription medicine.

Not any different from yogurt

or ice cream.

What's in The Stuff?

What's it made out of?

How's it made?

- What was your name again?

- Rutherford.

- Rutherford.

- Moe Rutherford.
