Still bringing your acts around
to catch free drinks, huh?

- Hmm.
- If I can find room.
- [Ringing]
Hello? Huh?
Yeah, he's here.
It's for you.
Hello? Yes, this is Miller.
Sorry, I can't talk now.
I'm just closing a big deal
on one of my acts.
It's closed.
I make fast deals.
Tonight? No, I'm working
on another big deal tonight.
What's that address again?
942 Park Avenue?
Apartment 1502.
I might make it after all.
Okay, 8:

In there.
He's expecting you.
Who is?
[Man]
Hey, Miller.
Grab yourself a chair.
Lay off the booze, Miller.
[Applause]
Put the other reel on, Mousie.
I love old movies at home.
Like TV, except no commercials.
- Glad you could come, Miller.
- Thanks, Mr. -
Murdock.
You can forget the mister.
My friends call me Marty.
Fats Marty.
- Fats Marty?

Vaguely, I seem to remember the name.
Vaguely. Vaguely everyone remembers.
Vaguely, I don't like it.
- My memory isn't the best.
- Forget it.
- Drink?
- I got the idea you were hoarding it.
That's brandy.
You're a scotch-over-the-rocks man.
Didn't want you to make
a mistake in the dark.
I know everything about
the people I do business with.
Except with you,
business ain't been so good lately, huh?
