that his daughter's a hippie?

- I'm in a rock group.

- And that's your uniform?

And that's yours?

At least it's not a uniform

worn by freaks.

So the senator's daughter

is a rock 'n' roll singer, huh?

Say, do you and your friends shack up

in a minibus, or aren't things that cozy?

I couldn't help but notice

your little run-in with Porter Hall.

- Men.

- Ninety-nine percent.

Casey, I'd like to design something

for you.

Why don't you

stop by my studio sometime?

It's a trip to design for a good figure

once in a while.

Anyway, you could imagine

how this woman feels...

...when she finds out

that her 17-year-old son...

...is making it

with one of her best friends.

Now, you have to remember that she...

...has a young lover of her own.

So it makes her take

a long look at her whole scheme.

That's why in my new film,

they drag in this whole thing...

...about the lack of communication

between parents and kids.

Well, now, Harris, we meet again.

"Come into my den,"

said the spider, et cetera.

- I was looking for somebody.

- Anybody I know?

Where do you get this "anybody

I know" business?

From one of those pornographic

movies you star in?

You mean my controversial,

box-office blockbusters?

Ashley St. Ives.

I saw one of your movies once.

I think it was the one

about the teenage, incest triangle.

You'll have to help me

on the research for the next one.

- So you're an ear freak?

- Name some more.

All right, then.

How about a toe freak?

I need it. I want it.

A beautiful woman

kissing me between the toes.

People who wear sandals

must not get very many volunteers.

- I could change.

- Into something more titillating?

That sounds vaguely obscene.

You're a groovy boy.

I'd like to strap you on sometime.

And if there's anything I can't stand,

it's vagueness.

Harris.

A deathly dry gin martini.

But I thought we had

another case of scotch.

Excuse me, have you seen Kelly?

No, the last time I saw her

she was wandering around with Z-Man.

- They can be anywhere.

- Thanks.

Get yourself in gear, baby.

These people are dying of thirst.

Look, I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'll check. Okay?

- But, Lance, I gave you $ 1200 last week.

- I want $ 12,000, baby.

- I'm sorry.

- Perfect timing.

I was looking for the john.

Z-Man Barzell is a very rich cat, but

he doesn't have a john in the kitchen.

- Maybe I was looking for a sandwich.

- This ain't no welfare line.

Then what are you standing in it for?

- Getting my thing together.

- You putting me on?

Unmasked again.

He poses as a busboy...

...but in real life,

he's Emerson Thorne...

...ambitious, young law student...

...who studies by day

Roger Ebert

Roger Joseph Ebert (; June 18, 1942 – April 4, 2013) was an American film critic, historian, journalist, screenwriter, and author. He was a film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times from 1967 until his death in 2013. In 1975, Ebert became the first film critic to win the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism. Ebert and Chicago Tribune critic Gene Siskel helped popularize nationally televised film reviewing when they co-hosted the PBS show Sneak Previews, followed by several variously named At the Movies programs. The two verbally sparred and traded humorous barbs while discussing films. They created and trademarked the phrase "Two Thumbs Up," used when both hosts gave the same film a positive review. After Siskel died in 1999, Ebert continued hosting the show with various co-hosts and then, starting in 2000, with Richard Roeper. Neil Steinberg of the Chicago Sun-Times said Ebert "was without question the nation's most prominent and influential film critic", Tom Van Riper of Forbes described him as "the most powerful pundit in America", and Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times called him "the best-known film critic in America".Ebert lived with cancer of the thyroid and salivary glands from 2002. In 2006, this required treatments necessitating the removal of his lower jaw, which cost him the ability to speak or eat normally and left him severely disfigured. His ability to write remained unimpaired, and he continued to publish frequently both online and in print until his death on April 4, 2013. more…
