Are you Mr. Briggs?Ohh,

that's me. I thought I recognized you.

I'm Gloria Fenwick, assistant vice

president for interstitial programming at

The Movie Channel. I've just arrived from

New York, and I understand there are some

problems with the show. Are you kidding

me? Are you really from the Movie

Channel? Assistant vice president for

interstitial programming?Films

or what?Programming is the term

we use for shows like yours. It's not

special, it's interstitial. Well, you are

the lady I wanna see have. Do you know

what's happened to me? You know, first I

come here for my 5th anniversary tribute

show and there's nobody that shows up to

tribute me. And then I get kicked out of

my hotel room because nobody has a credit

card. Can explain that we did have a VIP.

Preserved for you. But one of our stars

was in Las Vegas at the same time, and we

had to use it for other purposes. Other

purposes? Yes. We're doing an interview

with Eric Estrada. You gave my room to

Eric Estrada. Well, Mr. Briggs, Mr.

Estrada is on the A list. A list? What is

the A list? There's a major celebrity.

And we felt that in view of your

declining. What declining ratings?

Forget I said that. My point is that we

did have a room for you and would have

been very glad to give it to you after

Mr. Estrada left. But by then you were

already in jail. Yeah, Yeah, I was. And

you wouldn't send the bail money? I spent

three days there. I can explain that.

It's not that we were insensitive to your

situation, but we were having budget

meetings that week. It was hard to

justify a $3000 expenditure when we were

being forced to cut back on standard

items like Robert Osborne's wardrobe.

Also, we had a negotiation going with

Gilbert Godfried. And what negotiation?

Alan told you any of this negotiation

with Gilbert Gottfried?

We just felt that since Gilbert Godfrey

has such enormous name identification as

a late night movie host, we should offer

him a place at the Movie Channel.

You know, I just. So you took my bail

money and you gave it to Gilbert

Gottfried. Is that the.

Well. I guess the answer

to that would have to be yes. That is

what we were doing. Alright. What? What?

What is what are you doing here? Did they

just send you here to torment me or what?

Ohh. I'm here to give you the message

from all of us at the Movie Channel that

you have are unqualified support and our

warmest wishes on your 5th anniversary as

America's most as America's tallest late

night. Great. Wonderful. Well,

OK, what about my celebrity guests? You

know, we were supposed to have celebrity

guests. That's the whole reason we came

to Las Vegas in the 1st place. Yes, that

is another thing I need to talk to you

about. We've had to cut back on the whole

celebrity guest concept. In fact, I'm not

sure we'll be able to finish out the

month. You see, we've spent a lot of

money. Thrills.

Two cameras here. I think any prudent

businessmen can see that you can't

actually use more than one camera at a

time, now, can you? We'll try not to be

so extravagant in the future. Anything

else? Yes. Are those your quarters? Yeah.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to take

possession of those. Allen says we need

collateral for the bail money. You're

taking my slot machine money also?

String tie you're wearing. It's called a

bolo tie. Volume.

I also have to tell you we've made an

executive decision about your hat. We

feel that a cowboy hat doesn't quite fit

the image of the Movie Channel. We're

going for a more upscale is slicker

concept. We'd like you to try on some

silk shirts. While not real silk, of

course, that would be too expensive.

Mr. Briggs.

Are you listening to me, Mr. Briggs?

I hope you're gambling with your own

money.

Bill. Bill.

Bingo, $250 flock. Five years in

business. When we get $250, Harry, we're

in deep shift. Then they think of it

as a bad day for money. Alright, Harry,

wake up. It's been a bad year. Business

doesn't pick up fast. We're going to go

out of business real quick. Are you in

conference?Depends.

George, how's things?

Yeah. Yeah.

George, I owe you one. A big

one. What? Karen's book. A table for

two at Francis. Now what is it?

Wendelin is back. Ohh. Ship. No ship.

I hope she gives us another good lead. We

need to pull off a big one to get us out

of the ship. They're

all done at home. Hey, hey,

hey, hey.

All right.

What do you want? You want a beer? 2

beers and a shot of Jack please.

There she is. Compensation

for my services.

She knows something I'll get it out of.

Come on. Umm.

Be nice. Remember you're doing this for

the company. You make it good.

Vinny, can we leave now?

Umm.

Hopefully.

Mary, let me have a cigarette. Vinny,

let's make this quick. I'm only in town

for today, and you're not the only kind I

have to meet.

What the Hell's happened with you guys?

What are you talking about Glendale? Ohh

don't give me that innocent ********. The

word on the street is that you guys are

going down. Ohh. Is it true the company

is going through a transition? We're

experiencing certain financial

difficulties but all we need is 1 big

client and all our problems would be

solved. Now if someone I know. To deliver

a certain client to us, we could make

that someone some big bucks. Funny. We've

known each other over three years now.

We've had a good relationship and yeah,

we've made a few beneficial deals in our

time. But you're asking me to deliver the

Amarcord Corporation people to you is out

of the question. Why not? Look, Vinny,

are you trying to buck me out of a

client? Are you trying to?Help me when

I would never funk you in business.

Name your price. Well, this is big.

I want 20% of whatever you make.

20% Who's ******** who? Fine. Keep 100%.

Do you know 100% of nothing else?

I know nothing. OK, 20% done 20%

It is Vinny. You suck me

on this. Have your balls for earrings.

OK, OK.

As you probably know, our company is

repping Atlantic Overseas Corporation.

What you don't know is that we're

finishing up the final touches on a

buyout of Americord by Atlantic Anacortes

down to $12.00 a share. 1150 is it this

morning. The only smart thing that Accord

ever did was to keep the majority of the

stock they have. Well, should I say

Atlantic now has 260,000. The half

million shares, that means there's

240,000 shares out there and for every

dollar it goes up, that means 240,000

profits. And when the news is released,

we expect the stock to jump to $31

a share. God, when is the announcement?

Next Monday? Ohh, 20% done. We're doing

you are a *. Oh

oh. I got to

believe this Dodger was back-to-back. No,

Harry. Blue Jays. Let's go. Yeah, we had

pagers.

Actually never heard of snowballs, Harry.

30 minutes, maybe 30 minutes it'll be

working. Hell, Harry, even if I'm a court

only goes to $10 a share. That translates

into two mil 4 because the whole $20,

that's 4 million of you. Now what did it

take to get this great deal? How would we

give up 30%?30 percent, 30% Jesus

says Christ Vinny, that makes her the

most expensive lay in the city. Excuse

me, what do you want? Ohh man, what do

you think? I think I think you got 2

problems. First of all, where do you get

2 and a half $1,000,000 to buy the stock

and 2nd it ain't legal. Ohh ship

********. Look, either way you look at

this as inside trading. You know what?

Give me a freaking break.

I can guarantee you they didn't make it

by following some dumb rules. Not rules

Vinny laws. Let's face it, you and I

are broke. No, yes we are. No we're

not. We have our clients portfolio dream

selling their stock and use the money and

when we collect on Emma cord which is

rebuy. I'm the

wise. We used it. Come on, Harry, do you

want to see this company go down the

tubes? Of what? This opportunity only

comes once. Listen, I don't want to go to

jail for you or anybody else. You

understand, Carol?Hello,

Harry. Joe,

Beth. Do you want me to

call security? No. Not going to have this

going.

So how did you get in? Ohh, I just told

your secretary I was an old friend who

wanted to surprise you.

Are you surprised? Ohh, I'm surprised.

When did you get it?You know, I studied

computers when I was in prison. Really.

Uh-huh. And I heard that your company had

this program for ex cons, you know, to

help them get back into society. Ohh,

you're wrong. My company doesn't have any

kind of program like that, and even if it

did, I sure as hell wouldn't hire you.

Don't worry, Kerry, you think I'd want to

work for the man who testified against me?

You know five years is 1/2 a long time to

spend alone with your thoughts.

It's easy to fill them up with one thing.

Revenge. And

one man. Yeah, pretty

soon that man swells up and that's

all you can think about, night and

day.

That, man, is the turning point of your

existence. It's like.

Becomes an obsession.

I heard that Alexandra died.

Council heard you got remarried.

You know, it's really funny. It's in

the past five years I lost my

freedom and you lost a wine. That's

enough. Get out. Come on. Come here.

OK. You want to know why I came

here?I came here to tell you not to be

afraid of me. Yeah.

Seems that in my passion I'd forgotten

you were. Just another man, I

said. Get the hell out of my office.

You tried to kill me off now.

Jesus, Harry, the last thing we need is

some murderer hanging around. When did

she get out? I don't know. What? She

walking up with the questions. Alright.

Take about an hour off to clear my head.

Wait, what about the Amcor deal?

We already decided didn't What about

you?

All right, you already know what I'm

gonna do. I'm in it with or without you.

What are you gonna do?

I'm in.

Nico, Nico, it's Terry. Yeah. Let me

speak to Carolyn.

Alright, tell her, tell her, tell her.

I'm gonna be home late. Alright, thanks.

Bye.
