I ran into him at the 76 station on little Santa Monica, what was I supposed to do, hide in the ladies room? Yes, I was talking to him.
I'm always on the phone because you never let me see anybody, I can't even bring my girlfriends over to the house because they might run into you. You're driving me up the wall, Lester. You're even jealous of the dogs. I mean I've gotta have somebody I can talk to.
I'm not jealous of the dogs.
Now listen, Jackie, I'm not jealous of anybody, I just can't afford to get caught... off base.
So I can't talk to some broken down actor, what do you think, I'm going to tell him I'm screwing Lester Karpf!
Of course not.
That's not very logical, Lester.
It's very logical, it's the most logical thing in the world. You wouldn't feel this confined if we could go out with people and have dinner, and a little conversation and so forth...
Really? How about starting with tonight?
You and your touchy investors.
Look... you do well for people, they don't ask you to stop. Nobody wants you to stop making money, doll, not even Uncle Sam. They all want their share.
You're lying about one thing, Lester.
What's that?
You're still jealous.
Maybe he ought to go to beauty school. Anyway, see you tonight, doll, okay?
Fine.
Shut the door, shut the door!
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'd like a drink.
Just a second, I've gotta clean this mess up or the dogs'll have it all over the house.
You ought to get rid of those dogs.
They get hair all over the place.
They're Yorkies and they don't shed.
Here.
Aren't you going to have one?
No.
Why not?
Because I don't want one.
George, glad you could make it, son. Hi, doll.
Lester, this is my friend Jill and this is Johnny Pope.
Glad to meet you, Jill, Mr. Pope.
Who are they?
Jill Haynes, Jill Haynes, I've told you about Jill a hundred times, Lester, you never remember anything I say.
Does she know about us?
Jesus, she's my best friend.
Who's the guy, George's boyfriend?
I don't know. Why don't you ask him?
C'mon, Jackie, I'm only trying George
Hi, doll, what's wrong?
You know what's wrong.
Jackie Shawn.
Yes, Jackie Shawn, my wi Felicia.
you phony asshole
Oh, dear that's too bad. get her out of here, get her out of here.
Well maybe I can get you something.
That's very sweet of you, Mr. Roth.
Sid.
Sid. You must be a very important executive.
Well, whatever I am, I think I can get you whatever you'd like.
You do?
Yes.
well, more than anything else I'd like to suck his cock.
Well, commercials. I read for a soap the other day.
A soap?
A daytime soap opera.
And?
I was too old.
What was it, somebody's daughter?
Somebody's mother.
You're home.
Yeah.
I'm coming over.
I'll call you back.
No you won't.
What do you mean?
I told you I get 'scared up here, so if you're not coming right now... I'm not kidding.
Okay.

Felicia says you're a very good hairdresser.
Well, yeah.
She says you're a fabulous hairdresser.
Thank you.
I didn't say it, she did. How'd you happen to get in that line of work?
Oh, well, I went to beauty school... you know you go to beauty school... and you get your operator's license... and you graduate... and you're a hairdresser.
I see.
It's an unusual trade.
Yes it is.
But the important thing is you're successful at it.
In a way. But...
But what?
I'm better than the guy I work for.
Well, George, I invest for a lot of people. I make a lot of money for them. More than they could do for themselves.
After a while that hurts... doesn't it?
It's good you want to do something, George.
Thank you.
