till we're close|to making a deal.

So I just stay here?

No, first,|I'd like to book you

in a small lounge in|Vegas for the experience.

Then the area talk shows.

You know,|Tom Snyder, Mike Douglas.

All leading to Carson.

And if he asks|you to come back,

I think he will,

that should do it.

So, you keep motor|mouth here in line,

while I work on them

droolers at the network.

It should take five,|maybe six months.

Now, when I buy|you a free lunch

at the|Four Seasons in New York,

you'll know you're home free.

Sound okay?

Yes sir.

You're a good kid Corky.

Hey, you know what I think?

No, what do you think?

We're gonna be a star.

Zachary!

Seems like I'm|breaking the law.

I'll see that no|one touches it sir.

No one must ever touch|a Rolls, but a Rolls man.

Yes sir.

Margo, will you|show this gentleman

to Mr. Greene's table please?

Hi.

Hi.

Is everything all right?

They want me?

The uh, network people I mean.

May I?

Yeah, thank you.

Have a cigar for later Corky.

Take two, they're are big.

I invented|conspicuous consumption.

Don't you forget that.

If you're trying to|get my attention you got it.

Will you do me a favor kid,

will you try not|to turn sh*t heel.

It's almost an automatic

once a guy makes it big.

I'd love to see|you beat the odds.

Maybe I won't make it big.

Come on, tell me.

What is it.

Two years ago,|you couldn't get arrested.

Two years from now

you are going to have it all.

Corky, NBC wants|a pilot special.

What's that?

What's that,

it's what they gave|Rich Little a while back.

Menu sir?

Ah, you see, when|they're hot for somebody

like they're hot for you,

they make a contract which|hinges on the first show.

And if it hits,

you're off and running|for a bunch more.

Terrific.

That's why they|call me the Postman,

I always deliver.

Is it set and, everything?

It's set but|it's not set, set.

There's agent stuff like who|pays how much for publicity,

how much for the guest stars.

You'll have to|take a medical exam

and stuff like that.

Now what's wrong.

Um...

I don't think I'm going|to take the medical exam.

Any particular reason.

Principle.

What the hell does|that mean, principle?

Do you remember|that first night

when you came backstage|at the uh, Stardust

and you said, you wouldn't|mind representing me.

Do you remember what I said?

You're goddamn right.

You said that|I could represent you

but you didn't want to sign.

That was principle too.

Because if we're|happy with each other,

our word should be enough.

To hell with signing|some piece of paper.

Why is this with the|medical exam principle?

Because they're saying|something wrong with me.

And I say I'm fine.

I'm fine.
