This is my boss,

Jonathan hart,
a self-made millionaire.

He's quite a guy.

This is Mrs. H. She's gorgeous.

She's one lady
who knows how to take care of herself.

By the way, my name is Max.

I take care of both of them,

which ain't easy,
'cause when they met...

It was murder.

[♪♪]

[Barks]

[Organ music playing]

Diane, wait up. I'll
walk with you.

Oh, sure, Dr. Scott.

What's this, a
smile on Diane summerville's face?

[Laughs] I don't believe it.

What did you do, win
the Irish sweepstakes?

Better. Little Timmy
can walk again,

and mom and dad
are back together,

and Dr. Thomas has
asked me to marry him.

Wonderful.
Sounds like all's right with the world.

Finally, yeah.

I must be
the happiest girl at doctor's hospital.

I'm so glad. Good night.

Good night.

Oh, no! No, please.

Not when life
holds so much hope!

[Jennifer] Max. Shh.

[Announcer] Will
return in a moment.

[Sorry. I didn't realize
]What time it was.

It's okay, the commercial's on.

What's up?

I was hoping lunch.

Come on and
join us. Do you know what's happened?

What?

Diane just got murdered.

Oh. Too bad.

Just when life
held so much hope.

You got it. Mrs. H,
did you ever try to write a soap opera?

Me? Oh, no.

A couple
of us were hooked on days of our lives

when I was in
college, but, uh, I think I'm off the hook.

Shh. It's back on.

[Woman on TV] You had something
to do with Arthur's death, didn't you?

[Man on TV]
Well, that's an interesting assumption.

It wasn't an assumption,
it was a question.

Did you kill him?

Of course not.

Now, how could you
even think such a thing?

You had a perfect motive.

He knew about
your time in prison.

He could've
been blackmailing you.

[Man] Well,
it's possible, but even if it were true,

it doesn't mean I did it.

I'm not a monster.

Killers aren't all monsters.

You should know that.
You've killed before.

That was an accident.

[Woman] That
may have to be... Who did he murder?

You see,
Dr. Porter came to town with amnesia.

He became a
doctor at the hospital.

His gardener, Arthur,

finds out that a guy
who fits Porter's description

served time in
prison for murder.

This was before
he married Monica.

He and Monica are married?

Not anymore.

She got disinherited.

No more money, no more marriage.

-[Jonathan] Hello, darling.
-Shh.

What's going on?

Monica just told
Dr. Porter she thinks he's a murderer.

That's not what I meant.

It's not bad enough
that I lose Max

every day from 2:30 to 3:00.

Now you're gone.

Just until 3:00, darling.

[Monica] Well, if you're
innocent, then who?

What about Tom?

The police
did find a vial of poison in his lab coat.

Come on, doc.

You don't think
he's stupid enough

to have left it
there by accident.

Sounds like a setup to me.

Sounds like a setup to me.

[Monica] Oh, Dr. Scott. Come in.

[Dr. Scott] Thank you, Monica.

Heh-heh. Well, well.
Dr. Scott. Dr. Porter.

I had no idea you still
made house calls.

[Dr. Scott] Well, I was...

[Monica] Would you get that?

I'm really not in the
mood for small talk.

[Dr. Scott] Sure. Hello.

What?

No, no, you just hold on.

What's the matter?

They just found
Diane summerville.

She was murdered
outside the hospital.

[Announcer] Next
ondoctor's hospital...

Anybody for a late lunch?

You know something, Max,

when I used to
watch soap operas,

people got married,
they got divorced,

they even became terminally ill.

But nobody got murdered.

Well, you gotta grab
that audience, Mrs. H.

Well, Max, if doctor's hospital

is keeping you
away from the track,

then you've got to
be way ahead of the game financially.

I got better things to
do with my dough

then blow it at the track.

[Jennifer] What's that?

A little surprise for
you, Mrs. H.,

for that charity
luncheon you're going to tomorrow.

At Mrs. Wentworth-Hayes'?

Right. I bought
all these raffle tickets in your name.

Max, you shouldn't
have done that.

That must have
cost a month's salary.

Mrs. H., if you win,
the prize is...

Nah, I'll keep it a surprise.

No sense in being
disappointed if you lose.

Oh, come on. Give me a hint.

Well, it's something
that millions of women

from coast to
coast would give their eye teeth for.

I'm already taken.

Oh, you're
witty, Mr. H. Heh-heh.

Thank you, Max.
Well, here's the lunch.

[Wentworth-Hayes]
Jonathan! Jennifer!

Yoo-hoo!

Mrs. Wentworth-Hayes.

What's she doing here?

She never goes to
the parties she gives.

Uh, Max, would you entertain her

while we go get a drink.

Sure thing, Mrs. H.

Mrs. Wentworth-Hayes,
nice to see you.

Max, so good to see you.

What happened to the harts?

They're at
the punch bowl. They'll be right back.

Just as well.

Now that I've got you,
how do I get you?

Thank you, I'm very flattered,

but I'll never work for
anybody but the harts.

With me, it wouldn't be work.

We'd call it, play for pay.

There's Dr. Scott.

Dr. Scott?

I-I mean ray Martin.

He plays Dr. Scott
on doctor's hospital.

Ah, excuse me. Yes?

I'm Jonathan hart.

Hello, Mr. Hart.

This is my wife, Jennifer.

Oh, j... Mr. Hart. Yes,
of course. I'm ray Martin.

Yes, we know, we
watch your program.

Really? I'm flattered
that you watch the show.

That's very nice.

I take it that
you're a friend of Mrs. Wentworth-Hayes?

Uh, no, as a matter
of fact, we just met.

You see, my show donated a prize

to the winner of the raffle,

and I'm drafted
to pull the ticket.

Jennifer, Jonathan,
there you are.

Well, has he told you yet?

Told us what?

Yeah, what? Ray.

Is Dr. Porter the murderer?

I have a bet
with my hairdresser.

Mrs. Hayes, they
do not show us the future story lines.

You're going
to have to continue to watch the show.

Hi, I'm, uh, Lee
Blair, kbhx publicity.

How do you do? Jonathan hart.

My
wife, Jennifer. [Lee] How are you? Hi.

Uh, we're just about
ready, Mrs. Hayes.

Oh, yes. Excuse me, please.

Doctor Scott, I
will get it out of you one way or another.

I believe you.

And the public
just can't get enough of doctor's hospital.

I'm sorry to break up
this little party, but, uh,

ray has to cut
a ribbon at a supermarket opening at 3:00.

Where does it say that?

Just before
you do your radio phone-in show at 4.

Lee. I'm sorry, um...

I've done
Shakespeare, I've been on Broadway,

and I'm really
getting a little tired of being humiliated

by
all of these side-show appearances.

We'll talk about it later.

Why do you
give me all the dreary assignments?

Why don't
you send Damian to the supermarket?

He'd love it. Look,
I'll do what I can.

Now
come on, Mr. Charm, it's raffle time.

Mr. Charm will go pick
the winning ticket.

Nice to have met you both.

Actors.

[Wentworth-Hayes]
Attention, everyone.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I would like to
introduce Mr. Ray Martin,

who plays Dr. Scott
on doctor's hospital.

He will now
draw the number of some lucky lady

who will win a walk-on
part on doctor's hospital.

Max.

You'll honor the
house of hart, Mrs. H.

[Ray] If you
have your stubs ready,

the winning number is...

No. No.

Got it. No.

Mrs. Hart's got the
winning number! 6-8-4.

Here. Jonathan, please. Help me.

Here.

That's not what I meant.

Congratulations.

Can we have a really
nice big round of applause

for the newest
member of the cast of doctor's hospital?

Mrs. Jonathan hart.

Did I buy ten
tickets? Some people have all the luck.

Let's get a shot.
Big smile, Mrs. Hart.

And now a big hand
for Mr. Ray Martin.

Oh, well, thank
you. Thank you very much. Thank you.

See you tomorrow at the taping.

Tomorrow?

At 10:00, the
director will walk you through the scene.

We'll shoot
the episode at 11:00.

You're playing the
part of a beautiful,

wealthy Beverly Hills hostess.

One more
shot. Real pretty smile.

Uh, there's a
rewrite due out at 6:00.

Can you meet me at Antonio's?

It's across from the studio.

Uh... uh... Wonderful.
See you then.

A beautiful hostess.
Typecasting.

I'm speechless. Not for long.

You gotta learn your lines.

Wait till I tell my friends I won
you a coast to coast speaking part.

I can always count on you, Max.

That's right. Ha, ha.

I can't account
for the popularity of soaps, Jennifer,

but it crosses all social
and economic lines.

There's a group of
Harvard professors

that have it in their contracts

that they can't
be assigned classes between 2:30 and 3:00

because they wanna
watch doctor's hospital.

Ha. Isn't that amazing?

Ooh. It's time for the
Johnny Carson show.

I told you I've gotta get there.

Damian drummond
is taping tonight.

Damian's our show's
biggest star. We can't let him down.

Now, your part.

Page 49, scene 26.

Learn it. The network
is picking up the check.

Good night. Thanks very much.

Good night.

E-E-Excuse me.

I couldn't help but overhear.

You're doing a scene
from doctor's hospital.

Now, now, you've got to tell me

if Dr. Porter is going
to remarry Monica.

Go ahead, darling. Tell her.

Oh, yes. Oh, I knew
it, I knew you would know.

Oh, come on. Tell me.

Ah. I don't know.

Nice people from Pasadena,

Harvard professors,
and, uh, Max.

Quite an assortment.

Hm.

Well, darling, if I'm
going to work tomorrow,

I must get some sleep.

My public demands it.

[Jonathan] It's Lee.

Mr. Hart, you, uh, just
finished dinner with him?

Yes, uh, when we came out,
lieutenant, we didn't see anybody around.

Yeah. Well, his keys
and wallet are still there.

I doubt that robbery
was the motive.

Sergeant, I want a
search of this entire area.

Garbage cans,
doorways, everywhere.

I wanna find a murder weapon.

He was strangled
so look for a rope,

or a wire, or something
like that, all right?

Need us anymore? No, no, no.

Just, uh, tell me how
you knew, uh, Mr. Blair.

We were having a
meeting with him.

He's with kbhx television.

My wife is doing
a part on doctor's hospitaltomorrow.

Oh. Doctor's hospital, huh?

A few of us down
at headquarters have a little bet going.

Will, uh, Timmy
turn out to be Monica's illegitimate kid?

Got any ideas?

No.

Good night, lieutenant. Yeah.

Here they are, freeway.

Oh. Where have you been?

We expected you home hours ago.

Freeway. Oh. We've
been with the police.

The police?

Yeah, a p.R. Guy that works
on doctor's hospitalwas murdered.

Gee, that's awful. I'm sorry.

Yeah.

His car was parked
in a dark alley.

That's where they found him.

Was it a mugging?

No. Well, they
didn't find anything.

I'll get you some coffee.

I'd rather
have a drink. Wouldn't you, darling?

Absolutely. Should I get it?

No, we'll get it, thanks.

Thanks.

Oh, by the way, Mrs. H.,

do you mind if I give
you a list of questions?

Questions?

For the star of your
show, Damian drummond.

I thought I'd mail them,

but as you're on the show, I thought
I'd give 'em to you.

Oh, sure, Max.

I'll take it. Thank you.

Tired?

Yeah, a little.

I'd better look at that
part before tomorrow.

Want me to be the critic?

Oh. Ha, ha.

You really are getting
a kick out of me suffering aren't you?

I get a kick out
of everything you do.

Aw.

Thank you.

Forget about the part.

Forget about the part? Mm-hm.

Darling, if
I don't read the part,

I won't know what
my motivation is.

I know what your motivation is.

You do? Mm-hm.

Well, what do
you think, Mrs. Hart?

I think it's wonderful.
Thank you, frank.

What do you think,
darling? Ah, you look great.

Well, hello, you two. Jonathan.

You look wonderful,
Mrs. Hart. Thank you.

Welcome to doctor's hospital.

[As Groucho
Marx] Let the doctor show you around

and how we operate.

I do a terrible
Groucho. I'm sorry.

I don't know if you're familiar
with three-camera operation,

but we have one, two
and three cameras

and they're fed
on to the floor through these monitors

so that the director
can set his shots.

This is the area... excuse us.

We'll just thread
our way through. Pardon me for a minute.

This is where
you'll be shooting your

society bash
a little bit later on.

Richard's setting it up now.

Follow me through.
I'll kindly give you a...

A tour of the building.

Real flowers. Not everything is plastic
in Hollywood, you see?

And right through this door...

Presto chango, hospital
operating theater.

Isn't this fabulous?

Oh, it's the magic of Hollywood.

Oh, no. Has he spoiled
the magic for you?

Uh, no.

Uh, Mr. and
Mrs. Hart, uh, meet Damian drummond.

Hello. How are you?

Wonderful to have you with us.

Thank you very much.

Oh, uh, I have to ask
you a terrific favor.

Would you mind giving
me an autograph?

My pleasure.

Uh, to Max.

Max...

My public.

Oh, uh, Mr. Hart, would
you mind if I'm the one

to give Jennifer the grand tour?

- Of course.
- Oh.

Right this way.

Oh, excuse me,
darling. Excuse me.

He seems to be quite
nice for the villain.

Oh, yes. He's
the man you love to hate.

Our nation
has made him our show's superstar.

The Jr of daytime,
you might say.

It looks so real.

Built just for you, you know.

But you're the hero. Ha.

Don't they root for you?

No, no, Jonathan.
Heroes are a dime a dozen,

but villains, now, that's
something else again.

No, if Damian
doesn't like the script,

it gets rewritten
and sometimes rewritten and rewritten

until he does like it.

I guess it's my
New York training.

I was brought up on the stage

and wind up here in tinsel town with
a joker like that

who has been in the
business a fast 20 minutes,

taking over it, just, whoo.

Well, I guess I really
shouldn't complain,

I mean, whatever
keeps the fans tuning in

keeps food on my table too.

You seem to
be handling it realistically.

You have to in this
business, Jonathan.

Aw, I'm sorry
I sounded off like that.

I guess we're all a
little on edge

because of what happened to Lee.

The police told
us you found him.

Yes, we did. But
I'm afraid we couldn't offer much help.

Aw. That's a tragedy. That's a... That's
a real tragedy.

Ray. Oh, Richard,

I'd like you to
meet Jonathan hart.

This is Richard Bauer, our producer
and director.

And over your
left shoulder, is Mrs. Hart, your winner.

Oh! Jennifer, please.

Jennifer. Congratulations.
Thank you very much.

Now, there's nothing
to be nervous about.

We're all one happy family here,

you're gonna
be terrific. Are you sure?

You bet. Now,
come on, we're ready for rehearsal.

Oh, boy. You're
gonna be wonderful.

Ha, ha, ha. Now, I'll
pick you up around 3.

And, uh, as they
say, "break a leg."

Thanks.

Come on.

[Bauer] Okay,
people. Let's do it.

Blocking rehearsal
for the actors.

[Man] Quiet, everybody,
this is a rehearsal.

Quiet, please.

Anybody not
involved with this scene,

please step behind the cameras.

Ray, you
wanna stay by the table.

Jennifer and Damian,
come here by the sofa.

We'll bring you some champagne.

And Monica... where's Monica?

Right here, right here.

Uh, Monica, sweetheart,

we'll have you inside of ray

telling a story, very funny.

At the end
you'll excuse yourself,

come back here
to meet Jennifer...

Have you met Jennifer? No.

Oh. Jennifer
hart, Monica Haines.

And you'll finish
the scene over here.

Now, the
champagne will come through here.

And then be picked up on dick.

Sweep past, number
two camera will pick it up.

And off you go.

All
right? We're ready to go? Let's do it.

And atmosphere
people, keep it lively.

Remember, this is
a party, it's not a funeral.

All right, everybody,
from the top.

Let's have it quiet, please.

In five...

Four... three...

Two... one... Action.

Oh, dear.

So the man says,

"mother, how could
you have eaten that bird?

It spoke seven languages."

And his mother says,

"so why didn't
he say something?"

[Laughing] [Man] That's
good, that's good.

Excuse me a moment.

My dear, where did
you get that dress?

Cut it. Cut it.

Something wrong?

Monica, sweetheart.
Let's try and cooperate.

It's supposed to be:
"My dear, where did you get that dress?"

You like the dress.

So sorry.

Let's take it from
the end of your joke.

She has a problem with
other attractive women on the set.

I'll speak to her.

All right, everybody,
from Monica's line.

In five...

Four... three...

Two... one... Action.

And the mother says,

"so why didn't
he say something?"

Excuse me.

My dear, where did
you get that dress?

Oh, I'm glad you like it.

Uh, my seamstress
made it for me.

Oh, well, you
must give me the name of the shop.

And cut.

[Bauer] Beautiful. Beautiful.

A 10-minute break, everyone, and then we'll
put one on tape.

[Man] That's a 10-minute break.

Jennifer, that was wonderful.

You're lovely. Oh.

You know,
you're very believable.

Oh. I'll believe
that when I see it.

Tune in tomorrow at
2:30 and see for yourself.

Jennifer, bill
stegmeyer, the writer.

How do you do? How do you do?

I enjoy the show.

Well, thanks. I used to.

Ah. Want to sit
in the makeup chair?

Ah, bill has been a
little under siege lately.

He came up with a major divorce for
Ken and Sylvia,

and the network
then said they wanted them to have a baby.

Using a surrogate mother.

I can't wait to see what they'll come
up with next.

But Ken and
Sylvia can't get back together again.

You see, bill?
Another fan. I'm amazed.

Well, Max... he lives with us...

Max watches
the program every day.

I just see
it when I'm walking...

It's okay, Mrs. Hart.
We all watch the show.

You do?

But you see, you've...

You've written Ken
and Sylvia so convincingly,

that I don't
see how they could possibly reconcile.

That's called writing
yourself into a corner.

Unless...

Unless what?

Unless, uh...

Sylvia breaks down,

she pours her heart out to Ken,

and he sees, for the first time,

that they could
start all over again.

That's pretty good.

Why didn't we think of it?

We don't make the big bucks.

It's too bad you won't be around
to help me write the next five episodes.

Me?

There won't be five more
episodes if we don't get cracking.

He's a slave driver, isn't he?

All right, everybody,
we're back.

Let's do it. Places.

[Man] All right, our
five's over. We're back.

Hello.

You're celebrating?

Uh, negotiating.

Negotiating? Mm.

You must've read that
one line pretty well.

She was terrific, Mr. Hart.
She's sensational.

I know that.

Actually, we're trying
to convince your wife

to work on the next few scripts.

A writer-actor?

Alan alda better watch out.

Oh, come on.

She made us rethink

the whole Ken-Sylvia
reconciliation.

And to top it off, gave us a beautiful
way to solve it.

I told them I've only
written a couple of books,

and some
magazine articles, but they're determined.

We certainly are.

She should work with us.

What better experience
could you want?

Write an article about
a week on a soap opera.

By Jennifer hart.

Max would be devoted forever.

It might be fun.

We could use a fresh viewpoint.

You
know, you're going to need an agent.

Oh, I don't think so.

I could negotiate it for you.

Yes, I suppose you could. Mm.

Well, go easy,
Mr. Hart. This is daytime.

We don't have the big bucks.

I want you to know,
that this is not gonna be

an easy negotiation.

Uh, what do you have in mind?

Well, I think you
ought to write a check

for whatever you
think is fair to Jennifer's wildlife fund.

You're a hard
negotiator, Mr. Hart.

It's a deal.

Ha, ha. Remember,
whatever's fair.

Welcome to the family.

Thank you.

[Stegmeyer] It's the
only way. Jennifer's right.

If Ken and Sylvia
are going to come

to this enormous understanding,

we got to end the affair
she's been having,

and the only way I
can see doing that

is to write ray
Martin out of the show.

Haven't you got
other alternatives?

Ray's been a running
character for five years.

The network says
his fan mail is dropping.

And we need another
victim for our villain.

[Bauer] All right, why
don't you and Jennifer

put it on paper first?

I'll look at it, then decide
if ray stays or goes.

[Stegmeyer] Sure, leave me to work
through the night.

[Bauer] At least you're working.

Next week you and
I have a place to go.

Ray may have a problem.

Look at this.

Max certainly outdid himself.

I thought we were
having salad and cold poached salmon.

Yes, we seem to be dressed wrong
for the room.

Max.

[Max] At your service.

Dinner is served.

Royal crown of lamb,

vegetables jardinière,

and potatoes rissole.

Potatoes roussole?

Rissole. Sautéed in oil.

Max, what is the occasion?

No occasion, Mrs. H.

Just the smile on your
face is reward enough.

What makes
you happy, Mrs. H, makes me happy.

I'm a man who derives pleasure
from the happiness of others.

Max, I've known you too long.

Get to the point.

The point...
The point is, Mrs. H,

that you're writing
the next few episodes,

and I got the inside track.

On what?

Do you realize how
much money is wagered

coast to coast
on who does what to whom on soap operas?

Max.

You're not suggesting that i...

I'm not suggesting.
I'm pleading.

Just tell me who
murdered Diane on doctor's hospital.

I'll put a few hundred
on it, and I'll clean up.

I can't do that,
Max. It's unethical.

That ain't unethical.
It's an inside tip.

I'm not tipping.

Are you sure?

Positive.

Here's your roast.

Whoa.

Ready for your 4:00
script conference?

Oh, yes. I'm just gonna make it.

Mrs. H., I'm kinda
sorry I nudged you

about the inside
dope in your show.

Oh, that's all right, Max.

I hope it didn't interfere
with your creative flow?

It didn't. The flow flowed.

Yeah. Who is it?

Hi, this...
this is ray Martin. Is Mrs. Hart there?

I'm sorry, Mr. Martin.

She just left to deliver her new script
for the show.

Oh, I see, uh...

Do you suppose it would
be all right if I used your telephone?

For you, of course,
Mr. Martin. Come on up.

Thanks a lot.

Freeway, this guy coming up

is a big TV star.

So make a good
impression. [Barks]

Hi. I'm ray Martin.

I'm Max.

Hi, Max, I remember,

we met at the
Hayes party. Right.

Wow, this is...
This is quite a place.

So,
Max, I understand Mrs. Hart's script

is just gonna
save our show for us.

I wish I could tell you.

Aw, come on, Max. You mean you didn't even
get one little hint

as to what
she had in mind? I couldn't believe it.

You'd think she's
working for the CIA.

I guess loose lips sink scripts.

Ah. Max, uh, didn't
you even get a peek?

Nah. I figure if it's that
important to Mrs. H.,

I'll do it her way. Mm-hm.

I ain't even gonna
read the carbon copies.

You wanna use the phone?

Come on in. Oh, thanks.

You can use
the phone in the kitchen.

Uh, Max.

This is kind of
a personal call, you know what I mean?

I was wondering, if
it's all right with you,

if there's a phone out
here somewhere?

Be my guest.

There's a phone on the desk.

Come on, freeway,
he wants to be alone.

Thanks, Max. You're a real pal.

Oh, hi, Jackie, this is ray.

Uh, no, no. I'm not
at the station right now.

Um... no, I probably won't

get back there until
later this afternoon.

Uh... yeah, i...
I'll keep you posted.

Right.

Uh, no, no, don't call me, Jack.

I'll... I'll get back to you.

Hey, wait a minute, freeway.

He's making a
personal call. [Barks]

If Lassie came to visit you,

would I be rude?

[Max] What?

Mr. Martin.[Barks]

Freeway, where'd he go?

I'd have to say

that Elizabeth Taylor
is our biggest fan.

[Chuckling] She wrote
the show and says

she tries never to miss it.

Isn't that amazing? Heh-heh.

Damian, how did you
become Dr. Porter?

Well, uh,
there was no Dr. Porter when I started.

I mean I-I-I had a three-line walk-on
when I started,

a party guest. Really?

Yeah, and then the
great American public

wrote in and they said,
"who is that guy?"

So they created the
role of Dr. Porter just for me.

Now, you are
standing in the house

that Damian drummond built.

Rags to riches. That's right.

I know there are some
actors on the show

who are jealous
of my meteoric rise,

but that's show business.

Oh, speaking of show
business, it's 4:00,

I'm supposed to meet bill in his office.
I'll see you later.

All right. At the
rehearsal tomorrow.

Oh, look at you. Heh-heh.

Hi, Richard.

This is half-hour
television, looks to me like you're trying

to put together
a six-part movie.

Ha-ha. Have you seen bill?

I was supposed to
meet him back here.

Uh, bill keeps a schedule that only a
writer could understand.

Oh? Fiction.

Ha-ha. Funny. Funny.

But, look,
uh, it's getting late.

We're knocking off early.

Wanna join us for a
drink across the street?

Oh, no, thanks. Uh,
I'll just wait here for bill.

Dedication. Commitment.

I like it. See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Let's see...

Hm.

Now...

All alone?

Oh, hi, ray. Hi.

If you want to, uh,
catch up with everybody

they're across the street.

Oh, they are?

Oh, no, thanks.

Actually, I was just, uh,

just trying
to catch up with you.

Oh. Me?

And you say you saw
nobody run away from the car, huh?

I just found his
body slumped over

in the front seat, lieutenant.

That's an interesting
idea. Somehow I doubt

that
he strangled himself, dropped dead,

and then stashed the weapon.

I'm only the building manager,

I'm not dick Tracy.

That's all I found in
the trunk, lieutenant.

What's this? Looks
like a TV script.

"Doctor's hospital."

Oh, yeah? My wife watches that.

She's been real curious
trying to find out who killed somebody.

Yeah, things
on doctor's hospital

are making me real
curious these days too.

Go ahead. Uh,
finish up here, will you?

Thanks for your
help. I appreciate it.

Sure, sure.

Yeah, this is davern.

I want you to patch
me into station kbhx.

So
you've been writing ever since, eh?

Yes, ever since.

Hm. How's it coming?

Oh, well, this is, uh,
this is very different.

But it's, uh, challenging.

Mm. I'd like to see it.

Oh, I don't
think they want all the actors to see it

because, uh, it's still rough.

Oh, well,
I just thought maybe I could get a jump

on the direction
the story line was going in, that's all.

Oh, well, I'm not so
sure that the story line's

going in this direction. Oh.

It's
just that bill wanted me to work on it.

[Laughing] Well,
I-I don't really think

you're gonna have to worry about

whether bill likes it or not.

Oh, well, he's my boss.

He's the head writer. He was.

I don't think...
Sit down, Mrs. Hart!

Sit.

Well.

Well, well.

You do have an inventive style, Mrs.
Hart.

However, I think
that you've made one

slight mistake.

You see, I don't die
in the last act.

You do.

Uh, send him in.

Lieutenant davern. Thank you.

Hello, lieutenant.

Thanks very
much, Janice. You're welcome, Mr. Hart.

Glad I caught
you in, Mr. Hart. Can I get you a drink?

Oh, no, no, thanks. I'm on duty.

Well, what's on your mind?

What I'd really like
to do is, uh, talk to Mrs. Hart.

See, uh, about
that, uh, soap opera walk-on she did.

Mrs. Hart, now.

Well, Mrs. Hart
is due here about 6:00

because we are going
out and having dinner.

Yes, I know. I, uh,
called your house.

That's what Max said.

Tell me, Mr. Hart, did
she ever, uh,

talk to you about
the, um, backstage life of the show?

The backstage life of the show?

Yeah, you
know, the sort of thing,

like... well, did the star fight with the
makeup man,

or did the producer
wanna kill the writer?

Gossip, that sort of stuff, hm?

That sounds like
soap opera material, not like real life.

No, yeah, well, um, real
life is taking a beating these days

at doctor's hospital.

We got people dying
like flies over there.

First you have the
p.R. Man who's killed.

And now we have a second murder.

A writer, a guy by the name of,

uh, bill stegmeyer.

Bill stegmeyer.

So you see, I'd, um,

really like to,
um, talk to Mrs. Hart.

She's at the studio right now.

I thought she
already did her walk-on.

She did, but they asked her to come
back

and write some material...

With, uh, bill stegmeyer.

No, no, wait. The
only person working with bill stegmeyer now

is the coroner.
You're sure she's there?

Yeah, I'm positive she's there.

I just called the show.
There was no answer.

[Ray] And
they'd never dream of killing off Damian.

Oh, no! He gets awards.

If he doesn't like the scripts,

they change it.

And Damian
makes $1 million a year.

And Damian's
on the cover of every fan magazine.

"Damian seemed really a devil."

"Damian tells the world,

it's so difficult to be Damian."

Damian came
here a year ago with a five-page scene.

What do they do?

They build
him up. They make him a superstar.

I'm better than he is!

I play Dr. Scott.
Nice, Dr. Scott.

And I truly
am the devil, but no one knows that.

No one even suspects.

That is award-winning acting.

But, ray, they're not
even sure they're going to do this story.

They just asked me
to work on it.

And, you know, it's a tragedy.

No one will ever know

that my entire life

has been one superb performance.

Dr. Scott's already
gotten away with two murders, you know.

And now no one will ever know what's
in your script!

No! Ah.

Hey, what's the
hurry? Slow down.

Studio ten. That set's closed...

I'll find out myself. Open up.

All right, all right.

It's not going
to do any good to hide.

There's nowhere to go!

I wrote this scene, Jennifer!

And you're gonna die

just like Lee Blair
for degrading me.

And like bill
stegmeyer because he wrote me out.

There's nowhere to hide.

No. No.

No.

This...

This will be
the kindest cut of all.

Jennifer?

On the set!

No, ray.

Come any
closer and I'll kill her.

You don't have to do this.

Now I'll get the attention.

I'm the star of this show.

I'll have the spotlight.

[Whispers] Keep him talking.

May be harder than it looks.

There's no
place that you can go.

[Ray] You're so wrong.

Up... i can go up.

This is the beginning
of a brilliant new career.

Dr. Scott, put down the scalpel.

No.

Oh, yes.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.
You're not the director.

This is a closed set!

Only cast and crew
are allowed in here.

And this is your
greatest performance since Broadway.

[Jonathan] Ladies and gentlemen,

the award for the best actor

in a continuing series

goes to ray Martin.

Did you hear that?

The award goes to ray Martin.

Oh.

[Jonathan] Don't you
hear the applause, ray?

Did he say, "ray Martin"?

That's me! Yes.

He called me. Uh-huh.

Oh. They called me.

Oh.

Ohh, thank you.

Thank you so much.

I am so grateful for this award.

Oh, and there are
so many people to thank.

First, a wonderful
cast and crew.

And all of
the little people who make it possible.

But most important,

most important of all,

I would like to thank
all of you fans out there,

whose loyalty means more to me

than this or any award.

I love you.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, thank you.

Fade to black.

[Jennifer] "I can't believe it.

You make love
to another woman on our anniversary

and you expect me
to look the other way?"

[Jonathan] "Enough
about her already.

Let's talk about us."

"There never will be an 'us.'"

"you're...

You're not saying it's over?"

"It never began.

"I love you,

"and although Julian
may never walk again,

I owe him everything."

"But darling,

without you, I'll subsist."

Subsist?

Yes. Fade away, die
of heartbreak.

Well, then why
don't you just say that?

Because that's not
the way Dr. Porter talks.

That's not the way anyone talks.

Have I ever told you

you're the
most beautiful woman I've ever met?

That's not in the script.

And even if you write
things like "subsist,"

I'll always love you.

You're changing my words.

Who needs the words?
