...I'd better get back

to being gainfully employed.

- Thanks for the peanuts.

- You're more than welcome.

Say, if you'd care to give me

your address...

...I could drop you a postcard and

show you this picture when it's done.

I'd give my right arm

to see myself in the movies.

Just give me your right address.

-262 West 61 st.

- Yeah? Fine.

Room nine.

Well, so long, Gladys.

I saw that in a French movie last week.

Ive been meaning to try it ever since.

Good luck to you, Gladys. I sure

hope you make a name for yourself.

- If that's what you want, you'll get it.

- How?

It's just a theory of mine that not only

where there's a will, there's a way...

...but where there's a way,

there's a will. See?

- So long.

- Thanks.

- Yes?

- What?

Someone?

I want to see Mr. Pfeiffer, please.

- Who?

- Mr. Horace Pfeiffer.

- Isn't this his place?

- This is the Horace Pfeiffer Company.

ut there is no Mr. Pfeiffer.

- Excuse me.

- Just what was this in reference to?

To...

About the sign on Columbus Circle.

Yes?

It says it's for rent.

Yes?

Well, so who do I see in reference to it

if there's no Mr. Pfeiffer like you say?

Well, one moment.

Well, that's Mr. Entrikin.

Walk down the hall and turn left,

on the floor below.

No, no. I don't want

the average space.

Give me the exact footage

on each location.

Come.

What was that? All right, go ahead.

Good morning. Have a chair.

Thank you.

Go ahead.

You.

It's about the sign space you have

for rent over there in Columbus Circle.

How many? All right.

oh, yes, the double bulletin board.

I don't know what you call it.

It's pretty big, all right.

Right. I'll take it up with C.D.

Yes, that's available.

How much do you charge to rent it?

Well, now, just whom

do you represent?

oh, just myself.

I see.

ut what's your idea?

of what?

- of making this inquiry.

- oh, I'm not making any inquiry.

I just wanna rent that sign.

That is, if it isn't too expensive.

I see.

Well, it's something personal,

if that's what you mean.

I'm sorry, but I'm too busy

for this sort of thing.

What sort of thing?

What's the matter?

Well, here's to pay for it with

and everything.

Yes?

See if you can get an option.

of course, if you're too stuck-up...

...or you think it's right to treat

somebody like some kind of a nut.

Call you back.

I just happened to be walking along

and the sign said "for rent"...

...and it said your name

and your address, so I want it.

So you say you haven't got the time.

What kind of a place is this anyway?

The space rate on that location

is $210 per month.

Three months minimum.

- Yes?

- Never mind 11.40. 11.30's all right.

- I'll take it.

- What?
