in something like

a nice cobb salad or papaya?

Some matzo ball soup

like my mama used to make?

Hmm?

Back in Georgia?

Yeah.

You all right?

Come on.

This must be fun for you.

It is.

I love it.

Squiring a pretty girl around town.

Sure.

The network's being

pretty nice to me, sending...

What, you're the East Coast

V.P. Of casting

or something?

Really.

So, what time is your call?

It's noon.

If I get the 6:
00 a.m. Flight,

I'll make it.

We're gonna take you over

your hotel and get you packed

and then take you

on over to Teterboro,

where Cary has a plane

to take you back to the coast.

All right?

Cary.

Cary Launer.

You're a f***ing Cary Launer lapdog?

That's great.

- That's just great.

- Easy, now. Come on.

I see.

Where is he?

Whoa.

Oh, no, no.

You don't want to do that!

Please.

Please, honey.

Please don't do that.

Just calm yourself.

It's okay.

It's all right.

Please.

Did he ask if I had

something for him?

No.

Turn around.

We're gonna go downtown.

Wall Street.

Excuse me?

Wally, no.

Don't.

Turn around.

Turn the f***ing car around.

- Just two minutes.

- Turn it, Wally.

He's an a**hole.

This is true.

Oh, I hate to see people

get into messes.

I handled a lot of stars

back in the day.

I had Monty Clift.

I had Mama Cass.

Fat lot of good you did them.

Well, all I can tell you,

the clock is ticking away.

Hear me?

It's ticking away.

Where you going, folks?

Summerwear showroom.

So, how long you been

Cary Launer's Gotham butt boy?

You'll make this quick.

'Cause I got a big day tomorrow.

Okay?

You got to pick up

the movie star's dirty laundry?

No, I got to drop it off

at an airfield

so it can fly back home on its own.

Touch, little fella.

You know what my mama used to say?

Good manners make for good memories.

Bad manners make for goodbyes.

Who the f*** is your mama?

Harriet Beecher Stowe?

Great.

A literary whore.

No wonder Cary likes you.

It's a long way up, hmm?

You don't look so great.

Are you okay?

I'm having a peach of a time.

Aside from the blood in my urine.

And you.

That's kind of smart.

Do you like Ecstasy?

Oh, I love it.

But not tonight.

See, I'm being a good boy tonight.

Yeah.

I can tell.

If you happen to know

anybody here, don't say hello.

That's gonna be tough.

I know everyone.

Not here, you don't.

This will just take a second.

Here goes.

Oh. Hi, Jilli. Back so soon?

No pagers, no cellphones.

Oh, no, no.

I don't believe in cellphones.

They give you cancer.

No pens, no money,

no recording devices,

wallets, or chewing gum.

Oh, that's sugarless.

These will be returned to you

on your way out.

Tell Serge I'm here, all right?

Oh, he already knows.
