The Loved One Page #4

Yeah, that's right, D.J.

Yeah. What's that, D. J?

Yeah, but what about..?

No, D.J. You see, I thought that...

Yeah, D.J. I read you, D.J.

Yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, D.J.

I'll talk to you later, D.J.

I hate to break this up, but I've got

a meeting in 10 minutes, so see you later.

- You're beautiful there, baby. Beautiful.

- Just fine, Dusty.

See you later.

Harry.

D.J. Didn't buy it, huh?

Frank let you down, Harry.

He didn't bring him along fast enough.

You gotta get something

on the boards by Monday, right?

- That's right, Harry.

- Now, hold it. Hold it.

I think I've got a live one, here.

Doctors! Doctors are hot, right?

Okay, so how about a panel quiz show

called What's My Disease?

The contestant is wheeled in a kind

of shrouded cage. And then, there's a...

Hold it, Harry. Hold it.

You just don't get the message, baby.

You just don't get the message.

I mean, it's cutback time, Harry.

You know what I mean?

What..? What do you mean?

Hello? Let me talk to the Blessed Reverend.

This is his brother.

What? Yes, yes, I know that.

But this is urgent.

I don't care where he is,

I've got to talk with him.

Will you please put him on?

Yes, I'll wait.

You'll just have to be patient.

Hello? Yes? It's your brother, sir.

Will! Will! I'm all washed-up

here at the studio.

You've got to help me.

Please. Please, just give me

one more chance.

I won't let you down this time.

I promise you.

Perhaps there is something after all,

suitable to your particular talents.

- One last chance, Harry.

- Oh, that's great, Will.

I'll take anything, anything you say.

Wait a minute, Will.

I couldn't do that. Not that!

Take it, Harry, or leave it.

- I'll take it. I'll take it.

- And remember this, Harry...

...one word about my connection with that

place and you'll wish you were dead.

Oh, I'm so sorry. How stupid of me.

Never done such a thing before.

- Miss Benson.

- Hi.

- Oh, D.J. Jr.

- Oh, Frank.

How nice of you to stop by. I appreciate

that. Come on. Won't you come in?

D.J. Jr., I want you to see this. I've just

finished it. I'm rather pleased with it.

I want to see that some time.

I want very much to see that.

- Go right in.

- It's the threshold of a new period for me.

Yeah. I am very anxious

to see that, Frank.

D.J. Jr., there's something

I want to ask. It's a bit odd.

I went to my office this morning

and there was a chap there.

And a piece of paper pinned on the door

with a name something like Lorenzo Medici.

Oh, yeah, Frank, that's right. Only, look,
