The Ladies Man Page #2
Was your father
a meat burglar?
Here's why I ask.
Because it looks like somebody...
stole two fine hams and shoved them
down the back of your dress.
[ Lester] And then it happened.
She started laughing.
Kept on laughing.
I thought she was crazy.
They talked and laughed
on into the night.
Leon didn't go home with her,
but he took home her business card.
She said she was in radio. Said
she wanted to put Leon on the radio.
That was two years ago.
I guess she packed
for another day.
Listen, seriously, Lester.
Can you take a break for a second?
I'm trying to concentrate
over here.
[Scrap] Leon, {think
she gonna be a tough shoe to polish.
[Leon]
Au contraire, bon jour.
Let me give you
the play-by-play.
{will probably begin
with a very classy first line.
Something like--
Say, sweet thing,
can I buy you a fish sandwich?
Mm-hmm.
And then I will commence to
whisper sweet words in her ear.
Something like--
Man, I'd like to take a bite
out of your butt.
And then I will close the deal
- the goods.
- [Zipper Unzips]
[ Chorus]
Hallelujah
[ Scrap ]
The day you pick up that pretty woman,
that's the day I believe
a wet bird don't fly at night.
Yeah? Well, get ready to see
a wet bird fly at night, my friend.
[Chuckling]
Say there, sweet thing.
Uh, I have a question.
Could I--
- Hey, swinger. I've got an idea.
- Yeah?
My husbands away.
Let's go back to my place.
So you don't want
a fish sandwich?
Okay, that's cool, I guess.
But listen.
- My car doesn't exist, so- Yes.
- Shut up.
The bus is what
we'll be taking.
- Hey! Hey, man! Hey!
- [Leon Continues]
[Panting, Grunting]
[Panting, Grunting]
[ Soul, Muffled]
- To the left'. Yeah. just like that.
- Like that?
[ Man ]
Honey, the front door.
Barney, is that you?
Well, it isn't the Orkin man.
I'll be right there.
You'll never guess
what happened.
I was cleaning up
the broom closet,
and it was so stuffed
with crap.
So I opened the door...
and it was like,
" Uh-uh-uh-uh.
Don't open that door, McGee.
'Cause all that stuff...
just came tumbling down
all over me.
- Do you have a man in there with you?
- Oh, yes!
Oh, yes! Oh, yes!
Don't stop.
- Cheryl
- [Bedpost Banging]
Oh, don T stop!
Oh, don "t-
Listen, baby, that was cool,
but I gotta go.
No!
Wake up!
It is 2:
30 in the a.m., and you arelistenin' to The Ladies Man.
All right. So let's take
some more calls. Go ahead, caller.
Hello? Am I on?
Yes, you are.
What seems to be your query?
Uh-
Well, look, I've never called
a show like this before,
but I'm in-
I'm in really bad shape.
I was, uh- I was kind of hoping
that you'd help me out.
Well, we'll see
what we can do.
[ Barney]
So, I came home last night,
and what do you know.
in the sack with another guy.
- Yeah, that sounds good.
- No, it's not good.
I-I saw the guy.
I saw him running--
running down the street.
He had this, like, smiley...
tattoo thing on his, uh,
on his, uh-
Okay, sir, listen.
We're gonna take
We'll be back in a few moments
with the answer to our survey,
What is your favorite hole?"
Thanks for calling.
..-~...-~ [jazz On Television]
[Groaning]
I don't wanna talk.
I just came to pick up my-
- Barney'.
- [Keys Clattering]
[ Continues]
No! No!
[Stammering]
It's not what you think.
Way to go, Leon.
Well, what can l say, baby?
The ladies, they love Leon Phelps.
[Laughing] What ladies?
Who are these women?
And why do you feel like you
have to sleep with all of them?
Um, let me see.
Have you ever had sex?
Yes, Leon, I've had sex.
- Yes, well, there you go.
- [Laughing]
That's delightful.
- Yea h.
- It's exactly that kind of language...
that's gonna get you
kicked off the air-
- Mr. Kent.
- Yes!
You certainly seem
in good spirits today.
I didn't think it showed.
I just got a letter
from the F.C.C.
So I suppose you could say I'm full
of contentment and cheer.
What do you mean?
I'm sure you're aware
your little friend, Leon Phelps,
has always been a thorn
in my side.
He's unprofessional.
He drinks on the air.
He has a little sip
of cognac now and then, but-
I would have fired him years ago
if he wasn't such a-
such a favorite with
the owner of the station.
I don't know what
she sees in him.
go over her head about this...
and straight to the F.C.C.
And if Leon Phelps is responsible
for even one more...
tiny little fine,
I get to fire him.
[Chuckles]
Well, we haven't had
a fine in weeks.
Leon's completely
cleaned up his act.
- Oh, is that a fact?
- Caller, you got The Ladies Man.
Yeah, you see,
what your problem is...
is that you suffer from,
um, homo-un-erectus.
Which means, basically, that
your Wang is " hugeified"
not by a woman but by a man.
Well, you never know. I mean, some
nights the F.C.C. doesn't even listen.
- Really?
- No! [Laughing]
They listen all the time.
Probably listening now.
What's up? Bucky Kent is visiting us
in the station. How you doing?
[ Chuckling]
Well, I guess he can? stick around.
But you still got Leon Phelps.
I'm sticking it out here.
We gonna take a break.
- Leon--
- Don't let Bucky get you all upset.
- He is just jealous.
- Leon, I think he's serious this time.
He said that the radio station
wont pay for any more of your fines.
I tell you what I'm gonna do. We only
got three minutes left for the show.
I'm just gonna ease my way out. Play
a little music. No more phone calls.
And you'll see by tomorrow
Bucky Kent will be all cooled down.
- You promise?
-Julie, come on.
The one person you can trust
is Leon Phelps.
- Okay.
- Kiss me. Kiss me!
- Stop it.
- [ Huffs]
What's happening?
You got The Ladies Man,
Leon Phelps here, and I am looking
at a half-empty bottle of Courvoisier,
which means that we are
just about out of time.
But before I go, I'd like to
leave you with just one more thought.
This is a little something
that I wrote.
And I read:
What is love?
What is this longing in
our hearts for togetherness?
Is it not
the sweetest flower?
Does not this flower
of love...
have the fragrant aroma
affine, fine diamonds?
Does not the wind
love the dirt?
ls not love not unlike
the unlikely not it is unliking to?
Are you with someone tonight?
Do not question your love.
Take your lover by the hand.
Release the power
within yourself
You heard me,
release the power.
Tame the wild cosmos
with a whisper.
Conquer heaven with one
intimate caress.
That's right.
Don't be shy.
Whip out
everything you've got...
and do it in the butt.
By Leon Phelps.
Let's go. Come on.
- Good distance.
- Yeah, not bad.
[ Leon]
Listen, Julie, I just wanna say...
thank you
for sticking up for me.
- Yeah, okay. Leon-
