We're trying to rehearse.

Sonny, your first line:

"Ranch Breakfast,

a champ's way

to start the morning."

Then you look at the horse and you

say, "Ain't that right, Rising Star?

If you agree,

don't say anything."

It's fun. It's fun.

You try it.

"Ranch Breakfast, a champ's way

to start the morning.

Wonderful,

but much, much bigger.!

Much bigger.

Louder.

"Ranch Br-"

There's more. There's more. I saw it.

That's the most discourteous

thing I ever saw in the theater.

Sonny, this is Hunt Sears. He

ain't no Ampco flunky. This it here?

You ain't in no shape to see no Hunt

Sears. What I gotta do first,jog?

Dual overhead cam shafts.

Fully-enclosed drive shaft.

Dual disc brakes in front.

Each item...

will appear in several magazines

during the month ofJuly.

As an example of our confidence in

the success of these new fashions,

Ampco will be sending these lovely

models on a one-month tour...

throughout the-

Sonny.

I'd like you to say hello

to Carol. Hi. How are you?

Well then, let's-

Carol's interested in

television commercials.

Hey, Sonny, I want to get

my son a horse.

What kind do you think is

best? How old is your kid?

He's six years old.

Get him a short horse.

Hey, Hallie.!

Hallie Martin.!

We met in New York, remember?

Did we like each other?

That question about the Omnibank

merger... who was that guy?

That was Cross, the

Washington Bureau of the Times.

The New York Times? Yeah.

He's connected to Treasury.

He shouldn't have been at

the conference. Spilt milk.

Sonny, here's a couple

I'd like you to meet.

Mr. and Mrs. Phillips.

Hi.

Steve Phillips,

the Million Dollar Club.

Sold a million dollars worth

of Ranch Breakfast last year.

Oh, well, the mean-question

lady. Wholesale.

- I'm just curious.

- Steve Phillips.

How do you do? You know what curiosity

did to the cat? The Million Dollar Club.

He sold a million dollars worth

of Ranch Breakfast last year.

Are you kiddin' me?

No.! No.!

- That's just fantastic.

- We're very proud of it.

I'll bet you are, and I am too. Damn! Good.

I just love that.

This is Grace Phillips.

I'm Grace Phillips. I

just love that. We met too.

Everything's goin' 'round and

'round. That poster's beautiful.

It's a great gimmick. It's very

effective, Sonny. Grace, stand in front...

of that poster with Sonny, and Steve

can take your picture to bring home?

No. Why don't you just take the picture

of Grace in front of that picture of me,

of the box with the picture of me on the box,

holding a picture of me with a picture of me?

Then you got Grace, and you got

a whole bunch of pictures of me.

Sonny, I've been looking for you.

You know that TV show in Denver?
