- And the commercial would begin with a cartoon version

of you who keeps popping up and talking about all the deals

you have at Mr. Alvin's.

- [gravelly voice] Oh, I love that.

Looks just like me.

- Yeah, we figured that he'd keep on

popping up and he'd be like,

[gravelly voice] "Come on down to Mr. Alvin's.

We've got FILA 29, or two for 50."

- [gravelly voice] "Nike, 29 or two for 50."

- Why does he sound like that?

- I'm sorry?

- Why does the cartoon sound like that?

- Oh, he doesn't.

- Yeah. [stammering]

You do. You sound like that.

- That's right.

- I like the cartoon.

Just don't make him sound all stupid and shit.

- Have you heard your voice?

- That is our eighth yes in a row!

- My friend, we are officially on a hot streak.

- Officially! - Officially!

- Gentlemen, are you ready to go to dinner?

- What are you talking about?

- Oh sh--

Oh, yes. - No.

Oh, well, two reasons to celebrate!

- Yeah, what was it like back when you started, Sheila?

- It was the golden age of advertising.

And your father was the best.

I even had my moment.

Did you know I came up

with the tagline for Wick's pantyhose?

"Control top to make him lose control."

- [chuckles] That's pretty racy.

- I was talking about making the man ejaculate early.

- Oh, cool. - Mm-hmm.

- Of course there was no credit and I wasn't paid,

because I was just a secretary.

It was a different world back then.

Sam, you would've had a hell of a time.

- Oh, I know. - Yeah, we all would've.

- Well--

- We all would've had a bad time.

- Not the same.

Well, happy 50th, Sheila.

You've made an old lady very, very drunk.

- We'll walk you out. - No, no, no, no, no.

We have to get hammered so we can get a good night's rest.

Same way you came in, just backwards.

You're gonna take an Uber, right?
