Your phone's dead.

These rooms...

...sound so empty | without the sound of his music.

Bob's number | has been disconnected.

Oh, God.

I'm sure it's little consolation, | but you're not the only one

who got taken, Miss Gunn.

Bob Kopalski had ten clients,

assets equaling over $100 million, | when he disappeared.

You're telling us | that none of it's insured?

What a disaster. | Thank God for the residuals.

Actually, Kopalski took such heavy | advances on the royalty income

that by the time | the account recoups,

Miss Gunn will be | on Social Security.

Where does someone disappear | with $100 million?

The best we can guess | is South America.

Can't you just sue?

My God, | how could he do this to her?

He'll be back. | They always come back.

If he does, he'll be looking | out the back of an FBI van

on his way | to a long prison term.

It'll be years | before you see a dime, if ever.

Mr. Feldman, as a lawyer,

may I please ask your advice

as per what to do in the meantime | as far as, you know, money?

Get a job?

"Dear prospective employer,

"although I've had | no previous employment, ever,

"the following is a partial | but significant list

of personal recommendations, | including contact information.

The Dalai Lama, Tibet?

900-thread count | Egyptian cotton.

No man can resist | Egyptian cotton.

Tibet is a country, Molly, | not contact information.

Why not add "earth"

in case someone | needs to know where Tibet is?

This is not a rsum.

It shows I'm a people person.

Focus on the interview.

Hello. | Pleasure to meet you.

I will work overtime, weekends, | holidays, Yom Kippur, Christmas.

You name it, I will be here. | - I'm sure that won't be necessary.

Ingrid says you guys met | at Darlington?

I was valedictorian there | two years in a row.

That's so neat.

Tell me, what is the price | on a set of these?

$1,369 plus tax.

You're in denial. | You're broke, remember?

Trish, hon, tell me, do employees | get a discount around here?

Ten percent, and some employees | are among our best customers.

I'll take them. | Ing, this is the greatest job ever.

Who is it? | - It's Molly!

I was just out shopping | in the neighbonood.

At midnight? | - It's the city that never sleeps.

You can't do this. | I have to be at the studio at 9:00.

I can't act like a kid anymore. | - Really?

Neal, I haven't seen sheets | like this since the third grade.

Rocket ships?

You wouldn't have my jacket in there? | It's like my lucky jacket.

I never get onstage without it. | I left it behind the other day.

No.

I guess you're gonna have to | come over and look for it.

I can't disappear | from the world again.

I can't lose myself in this obsessive- | compulsive irrational behavior.
