The Big Kahuna
(5.00 / 1 vote)No answer?
-Must be out shopping.
-God forbid.
-Why do you say that?
-No reason.
It's just something men say
when they talk about their wives.
One guy says,
"She must be out shopping."
The other guys says,
"God forbid."
-It's a joke.
-Oh.
So what do you make
of all this, Bob?
-What do you mean?
-How does it feel to be out on the road?
Well, uh, I can see
where it could be tiring.
Yeah, there's a lot
to this job.
You'd never know it,
but there's a lot to it.
You seem to have been
at this a long time.
Tell you the truth,
Bob,
I feel like I've been shaking somebody's
hand one way or another my entire life.
-You're very good at it.
-Well, thank you, Bob.
-I mean, judging from what I hear.
-Don't qualify it, Bob.
-What time you got?
-Quarter to 5:
00.-Don't you carry a watch?
The world is full
of clocks, Bob.
Clocks and mirrors.
It's a damn conspiracy.
Not that it matters
to me anymore.
All my chances have come and gone
a long time ago.
Why do you say that?
I'm not complainin'.
Everybody peaks somewhere.
People find their niche.
It's nothing
to be ashamed of.
Uh, how old are you?
If you don't mind me asking.
I'm 52.
-Your secretary said you looked distinguished.
-She did?
She said your face
had character.
I will give her
the benefit of the doubt...
in a favorable vein.
Sometimes I wonder what I'll look like
when I get to be your age.
Tear my heart out, Bob.
-Oh, no. That's not what I meant.
-That's okay.
I've heard tell of people
living well into their 60s.
I only hope it's true.
A-All I mean is,
I wonder how a person attains character.
Whether it's something that you're born with
that kind of reveals itself over time,
or whether you have to
For all I know, I could have a face
full of character and not even know it.
You think?
It's a two-edged sword,
Bob.
-So how long you been with the company?
-Six months.
-Straight out of school?
-Yeah.
Well, a word of advice:
It's never too early to start thinking
about where you want to end up.
-It's a lot to think about.
-Yes, it is.
Pretty soon somebody's gonna be handing you
a cake with 40 candles on it,
maybe 50.
A bunch of people are gonna jump
out of a closet and yell, "Surprise!"
like it's something you haven't been
thinking about every waking moment.
-What's that you're reading?
-Penthouse.
Oh.
-Wanna borrow it when I'm done?
-No, thanks.
-You don't want it?
-No, I don't read magazines like that.
Oh.
Are you one of those that believe that
magazines like this shouldn't be published?
I'm one of those who believes
they shouldn't be purchased.
That was a very clever
answer, Bob.
I just said
what I thought.
That's what I mean.
You did it without thinking.
Which leads me to believe
you could have a career in marketing.
What's your wife say about you
reading magazines like that?
It's not
my wife's concern.
-It's not?
-No.
We're divorced.
Mind if I ask you
what the problem was?
Maybe you better try
your wife again, Bob.
S-Sure.
I just have a real hard time imagining
what it must be like to get a divorce.
The picture
becomes perfectly clear...
after a very short
period of time.
Believe me, Bob.
Oh. Excuse me.
-How're you doin'?
-Pretty good. How 'bout yourself?
Can't complain.
What floor?
-Depends on where you're headed with all this food.
-Fifteen.
-Hospitality suite.
-Yeah.
Hmm. Me too.
On 16.
Oh. Yeah.
-This is it?
-Hi, Larry.
This is f***ing it?
