A contract to be signed.

Oh, could I do that

later, please?

Of course you can, Mrs. Majors.

Sign the contract tomorrow.

Ouch! Mrs. Majors.

Just one or two details.

Does Brad have any living relatives-

any blood relatives?

- No, he doesn't. Could I take care of this later?

- Of course.

Why did you tell me

Well, that way you

get the first day free.

Here's Bert, that eternal showbiz wiz...
