- He's not talking to anybody.

- Period.

- If he changes his mind, I'll be at...

He's not changing his mind.

He's flying to New York today.

The Sunset Marquis.

The Sunset Marquis!

Hello.

- Adam?

- Yeah.

- How's it going?

- It's going fine.

He got his bail reduced,

but I couldn't talk to him.

He had to go back to New York.

I'm working on some other angles.

I'm trying to locate some friends of his.

I started the piece. It's real good.

- In other words, no interview?

- Come on, Mark, please.

The story is great,

and the material I have is terrific.

- It should be a cover.

- You get the interview and we'll talk cover.

Simon & Schuster just made an inquiry

for me to do this as a book.

Cover would help.

I'm not in the goddamn book business.

- Have you found a health club yet?

- Yes, I found an ad in the phone book.

The club's name is The Sports Connection.

"Health club, racquetball, and good times.

"We're a totally new concept

in athletic club.

"We're more than a club,

we're a lifestyle."

Then it has this illustration of a couple

in sports clothes hugging each other.

It sounds perfect.

What kind of story are you planning to do?

Maybe something about

couples meeting here, falling in love

- getting married.

- That sounds good.

Let's go down and get you a membership,

so you can see what's happening.

Now that sounds even better.

Nanette, where did you get this idea

to make this place...

more than a health club,

like your ad says?

I looked around the city and I saw

that people had had it with singles bars.

They even had the supermarkets

staked out. That was getting boring.

Really?

There wasn't anywhere people could

get together in a healthy environment...

and have some social interaction.

- Right.

- Mr. Lawrence, hold it.

Michael and I, he's my partner,

thought it'd be great to create a place...

like the lodge at the bottom of the hill

in Aspen.

Where people could share

a common interest.

- All right.

- Phone, Nanette.

- Take a message, okay?

- Okay.

My concept was to get people

out of their potato chip bags...

into the club by convincing them

it didn't have to be drudgery.

- That it could be fun.

- Right.

- I'll get somebody to show you around.

- Sounds good.

We have nine racquetball courts.

These two courts are our challenge courts.

- The winner stays on, loser gets off.

- Really?

Then, you have a lounge area.

It's a good place to sit and relax,

before and after your workout.

Your entrance and registration area.

And then we have Pete's Pro Shop.

They have the latest in workout apparel...

and racquetball equipment.

Then you have the snack bar.
