Really...in what?

Public relations.

I hope you don't mind a Democratic liberal?

No, no.

My family are Democ...

We are Jews. Goes...

How quaint!

Thank you.

Please write in my rebellious streak.

You know in Oklahoma, we weren't even

allowed to mingle with Jews growing up.

Really!

You guys are money lenders.

No, we control everything, actually.

I didn't even see a Jew

until I moved to New York.

No...no horns.

No.

I find Jews exotic and mysterious.

It wouldn't mind, if you had horns.

You wouldn't?

Nah.

Come on. Let's go. Let's go to my house.

What?

No! I'm not gonna sleep with you.

No?

No! Jew or no Jew, we just met.

Yeah, have one or more drinks.

No thank you. You'll have to wait!

My Goodness!

My God! It's true what they say!

You people are pushy.

Its part of the charm.

I had a great time tonight.

Yeah, me too.

Well good. You call me again?

Yes I will.

I'll call you tomorrow.

As it is tomorrow,

I'll call you in 15 minutes.

So you probably might head home.

Good night.

Okay.

And all that season,

they saw one another every single day.

And it was a beautiful summer.

Thank you, Rad. This is the last one.

Then one Saturday afternoon,

some months later,

she had an announcement...

I am pregnant.

No.

Yes really. Are you crushed?

No!

No, no. I'm not crushed at all.

It's wonderful.

What's our next move?

Why I would like to have the baby.

Okay.

Unless you don't want me to.

We could go down Mexico and get done safely.

Vonnie, we are not going to Mexico but...

we are going to Niagara Falls, anywhere.

Are you sure is this what you want?

Yes of course.

When we call the little one a bastard,

you don't want them right. Do you?

You called me Vonnie.

Did I?

Yeah. You never call me that.

If I did, it's too much champagne.

That's what you said your

old girlfriend was called?

Well...OK. Two Veronicas.

What do you want me to say? I'm lucky.

Are you gonna marry me or not?

Yes! Yes of course.

Ok! Good.

That's the right answer.

I'm having a baby!

I love you.

The wedding,

which was a simple affair,

and took place in City Hall two months later

was a happy event.

But as Bobby's brother-in-law said:

Life has it's own agenda.

Yes, what do you want?

Ah! What!?

Could you just turn the radio down,

just a little?

I'm not asking you to turn it off,

but my wife gets these migraines.

Don't tell me how to play my radio.

Just your nose out of our business!

She rarely gets them.

Just every now and then.

I am just asking if you can lower it.

Shes sick. Call your doctor!

Believe me! He did give her something.

Migraines are a terrible curse.

I work hard, I'm gonna listen to my radio.

You don't like it? Too bad!

You are not understanding.

I not asking you not to play it.

Modulate the sound just a little.

I don't wanna call the police.

You think I'm afraid of the police?

I can play my radio!

What can I say?

He's got the law on his side.

I'm gonna have brother Ben talk to him.

What!? Ben is a hothead.

I am not looking for trouble.

Promise me he will not make it into a issue.

He makes this into an issue.

He needs somebody to read his right act!

Let's drop it, Evelyn.

It's not that big a deal.

Yeah! You don't have the migraines!

Bobby and Veronica named the baby Susan.

And that fall found the perfect

house on the Hudson.

We called the police and they spoke with him.

And last week, he was drunk,

and puts a dent in our car.

When Leonard speaks in him,

he threatens to beat him up.

He did?

I can talk to this character.

Leonard doesn't want trouble.

But I want someone to tell him,

we can't stand to this anymore.

And to stop making our lives miserable.

He accuses us of things we never done.

He threatened to shoot our dog.

He is a crazy man!

And my husband keeps deluding himself

that he will listen to reason,

meanwhile, it never stops!

Whoo!

Threatens to shoot your dog?

I think he has got a gun.

There is a security guard

at a lumber yard.

Joe Wojehowitz.

Hey! You Joe Wojehowitz?

Who wants to know?

Are you Joe Wojehowitz?

Yeah. What?

Hey Joe! Get in the car.

What!?

What are you doin'?

Get in the car. We wanna talk.

What are you talkin' about?

Get in the car!

What are you doing? Get off!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

(MOUNTAIN GREENERY BY RICHARD RODGERS)

In a mountain greenery where God paints the scenery

just two grazy people together

While you love your lover

let blues skies be your coverlet

When it rains...

Caf Society was called, when Bobby Dorfman

was ridin' the thick of it.

There were these millionaire playboys

like Buddy Winslow Fain,

who bought anything he wanted,

from the high class models of every

cover on a magazine in town

to the best seats in

shows and sporting events.

Then there were the politicians,

who fixed your streets, your parking tickets

and your tax returns.

As long as the contributions kept coming in.

There was Norton Lockerbee and his

underage fianc, the dancer Cherry Grace.

And the Remsens, about whom it was said

had stayed a week in Berlin

at the home of Adolf Hitler.

And of course, there are any number

of colorful associates of Ben's,

some of whom were destined to

end up on the front pages of the tabloids,

reeking blood on the side walk

due to cranial ventilation.

It seems Bobby knew everyone

in Manhattan society.

His wife Veronica now rarely came in,

having succumb to the joys of motherhood.

And then one evening,

in walked the past.

May I help you?

Yes. I understand my nephews around here.

They own the place.

Mr.Dorfman?

Bobby, yes. Or Ben.

Bobby is not there but Ben is around.

You like to be seated?

Please.

Follow me.

After you, dear. Thank you.

Had a very big deal today.

Champagne for the table!

Before they start drinking for real.

Of course.

Fred, how are you? Good to see you.

You remember Vonnie.

Lovely to see you again.

We are in town for a few weeks.

We'll catch up.

It's going to be a very good stock.

I'm tellin' you it's goin' through the roof.

Now is the time to get in on it.

But you didn't hear it here!

In here what?

Exactly.

Thank you, Marvin.

There are some people to see you.

They say they know you.

Really?

Table 4.

OK. Everybody knows me.

Robert! How you doing?

You remember Vonnie?

Hello.

And this is Gloria and Craig Bennett.

Hello. Good evening.

Have a seat. Join us.

Oh! I wish I could,

but I'm very busy tonight.

Woh! I can see!

This place has a reputation

all the way across the country.

Please. Join us.

Sit down for five minutes.

You're not gonna offend us.

Five minutes. Cmon.

Look at you.

You look well.

He does look well.

Well we are celebrating because I just

made a deal for Irene Dunne at Universal.

Oh! I just love her.

How does she break?

She is great, honestly.

He has a great story on Irene Dunne.

Sorry, honey.

Tell her, tell her.

No, you tell her.

Ok! So we met Irene first

at the Coconut Grove.

We were with Errol Flynn and
