Camera Store Page #4

You saw him? He's here?

Well, he was at my house

for dinner last night.

He had dinner at your... I see.

And what's your name, dog ears?

Pete.

And where are you on vacation

from?

Wharton.

Of course.

So last night over Beaujolais

in, what, upper nyack, Mr. b...

Discovered that you're a buff,

you like to take pictures.

So he said, "hey, why don't

you go down to my store...

"Work Christmas Eve day...

"Make a little extra money

for the holidays, right?"

Is that it?

No.

I don't know anything

about photography.

He said I could learn

something about business...

From you.

Polaroid film.

Sir?

Triple pack? How many boxes?

Oh, no, I actually don't

have a Polaroid camera.

Two boxes. Very good choice,

sir. Excellent film.

That will be $72.

Oh, you know what?

Don't bother about it.

Because if you're short of cash,

I'll just take it out of your

envelope when the checks

come down this evening.

Lesson number one...

I sell film.

Did you ever see kismet?

Huh? Nah, of course,

you didn't.

You're far too young,

aren't you? Far too young.

Yep... Sean Connery and I did

that show in London... 1962.

Sean was there for his

youthful good looks.

I was there for my tenor voice.

And you know what they said?

The cognoscenti?

Pinky Steuben is going

to be a star, they said.

Not Sean Connery.

Pinky f***ing Steuben.

But, as we both know,

that was not meant to be.

I mean, these days Sean Connery

could run me down...

In his rolls Royce and he

wouldn't know who I was.

Unless I told him or sang

for him.

Which would be highly unlikely

if I was lying dead...

Under the wheels of his car.

Ray!

Top of the morning to ya,

me old cocker...

On this blessed

Christmas Eve day?

Oh, B's back from Florida.

Before Christmas?

Mm.

Well, that don't compute.

Hm.

Are the checks in yet?

No.

Oh, well, it's a bit early,

isn't it?

Who the f*** am I talking to?

Rump man... Pete.

Pete.

Well, I'm certainly glad

it's not Helen.

'Cause she looks really awful.

Ha, ha, ha.

Pete, me old cocker.

How the heck are you?

I like that name. You know what?

Sounds like an astronaut.

Now, Pete... look, I hope you

don't mind me saying this, Pete.

But I have this thing.

It... it's a salesman's gift.

I know people.

You understand what I mean?

I know people.

And I can tell just looking

at you now...

That you are going to be

a giant in this business.

Pete, you are going to

be a captain of industry.

In fact, you actually

remind me of old Bibby himself.

Bibby?

Ah, our nickname for our

beloved employer, Mr. bibideaux.

There is something

in the eyes, you see.

There is something in the eyes.

They are sharp.

They are very, very sharp.
