The Ladies Man Page #4

Synopsis: Because of his salacious language, late-night radio advice-show host Leon Phelps, along with his sweet and loyal producer Julie, is fired from his Chicago gig. They can't find another job. About that time, two things happen: he gets a letter from a wealthy former lover who offers to take care of him (but she doesn't sign her real name, so Leon, an inveterate Casanova, has no idea who she is), and a group of angry cuckolds, all of whom have surprised their wives in flagrante delicto with Leon (who has a distinctive tattoo on his booty), are closing in, armed and dangerous. Can he find the sugar mommy and escape the wrath of the mob of husbands? What about Julie?

That's delightful.

- Yea h.

- It's exactly that kind of language...

that's gonna get you

kicked off the air-

- Mr. Kent.

- Yes!

You certainly seem

in good spirits today.

I didn't think it showed.

I just got a letter

from the F.C.C.

So I suppose you could say I'm full

of contentment and cheer.

What do you mean?

I'm sure you're aware

your little friend, Leon Phelps,

has always been a thorn

in my side.

He's unprofessional.

He drinks on the air.

He has a little sip

of cognac now and then, but-

I would have fired him years ago

if he wasn't such a-

such a favorite with

the owner of the station.

I don't know what

she sees in him.

But I finally decided to

go over her head about this...

and straight to the F.C.C.

And if Leon Phelps is responsible

for even one more...

tiny little fine,

I get to fire him.

[Chuckles]

Well, we haven't had

a fine in weeks.

Leon's completely

cleaned up his act.

- Oh, is that a fact?

- Caller, you got The Ladies Man.

Yeah, you see,

what your problem is...

is that you suffer from,

um, homo-un-erectus.

Which means, basically, that

your Wang is " hugeified"

not by a woman but by a man.

Well, you never know. I mean, some

nights the F.C.C. doesn't even listen.

- Really?

- No! [Laughing]

They listen all the time.

Probably listening now.

What's up? Bucky Kent is visiting us

in the station. How you doing?

[ Chuckling]

Well, I guess he can? stick around.

But you still got Leon Phelps.

I'm sticking it out here.

We gonna take a break.

We gonna be right back.

- Leon--

- Don't let Bucky get you all upset.

- He is just jealous.

- Leon, I think he's serious this time.

He said that the radio station

wont pay for any more of your fines.

I tell you what I'm gonna do. We only

got three minutes left for the show.

I'm just gonna ease my way out. Play

a little music. No more phone calls.

And you'll see by tomorrow

Bucky Kent will be all cooled down.

- You promise?

-Julie, come on.

The one person you can trust

is Leon Phelps.

- Okay.

- Kiss me. Kiss me!

- Stop it.

- [ Huffs]

What's happening?

You got The Ladies Man,

Leon Phelps here, and I am looking

at a half-empty bottle of Courvoisier,

which means that we are

just about out of time.

But before I go, I'd like to

leave you with just one more thought.

This is a little something

that I wrote.

And I read:

What is love?

What is this longing in

our hearts for togetherness?

Is it not

the sweetest flower?

Does not this flower

of love...

have the fragrant aroma

affine, fine diamonds?

Does not the wind

love the dirt?

ls not love not unlike

the unlikely not it is unliking to?

Are you with someone tonight?
