My Big Night Page #3

---

This is like signing thin air.

What were you thinking?

Being on second isn't so bad.

Adanne, the "Fireman" kid,

is a big hit.

That's very nice.

Very nice indeed.

- Do you feel the pain?

- Yes!

That's how I feel when

you say these things.

I've been in showbiz for 40 years.

I've sung for the Emperor of Japan.

They love me in Russia:

you know that better than anyone.

Fix it, Yuri.

You're my PR man

my press officer, my lawyer,

my assistant.

I'm also your son, sir.

Never mix the personal

with the professional.

- I've always told you that.

- Sorry, Dad.

Dad, Dad...

Adoptive dad.

- Yes, but...

- You may forget that, I don't.

It was a freezing day in Moscow.

I didn't want to go to the orphanage.

You were skinny as a rake,

but the promoters insisted.

- Yuri, one last thing.

- Yes, sir?

What are these?

They were in my bag.

They're death threats.

- Why didn't you tell me?

- I didn't want to bother you.

It doesn't bother me.

We at the top are used to it.

- Look what happened to John.

- John? What John?

Lennon.

A friend, you were very young.

- Did you tell the police?

- Yes. It's all under control.

They don't give the letters

any credibility.

It's just someone harmless

seeking attention.

How do they know that?

Otherwise, he wouldn't have put

his name and address on them.

scar Garca.

Poor man.

WHATEVER THEY SAY

Tensions mounts at Mediafrost Studios.

Negotiations are at a standstill,

and according to...

...the unions...

the number of people laid off

could reach 500.

SCANDAL:

"Today's a special day for me.

It could be my big night".

MY BIG NIGH "We're having such a great time!

A great time, Roberto!"

Do I have to repeat it?

It emphasizes how much fun it is.

Sure.

"A great time, Roberto!

But the night is young.

You bet, Cristina!

Because now for the best of all!

The best, the best!"

More repetition.

80% of our audience is over 70.

You have to repeat things for them.

"The best! The best!

What is it?

Don't do this to me!

You don't know?

I'll give you some clues.

Don't make them hard!

He's been in showbiz

for over 40 years.

Jos Luis Moreno!

No, no.

- He was number 1 in Russia.

- Gorbachev!

He sang for the Emperor of Japan!

Frank Sinatra!

No! Frank Sinatra is dead!"

Do I have to always look retarded?

Retarded? Why?

Sh*t, I don't know anything,

he explains it all to me,

and gets the punch lines.

On Page 15 you get a joke.

The giraffe joke? F*** off.

It's funny.

I'll take it.

F***ing great,

now you get all the lines!

You're the f***ing great comedian,

and I'm the ditz

who flashes her tits.

You want me to show my tits?

Why else did you get a boob job?
