But you know by now that storylines like money don't grow on trees. Susie, where have you been? You know where I've been, Mr. Holiday. Down to Star Time, after the mail. Oh yes, the mail.

What's in box 13? Box 13, starring Ellen Ladd as Dan Holiday. And now, box 13, starring Ellen Ladd as Dan Holiday. Box 13.

I wish I'd never rented the thing. Wish I'd never even thought of it. Mr. Holiday, you're early this morning. Well, I had to see if my new secretary's on the ball. You know, since you rescued me from that nut-sack we got the star-times.

I'd work my fingers off the elbows for you. Oh, now take it easy, Suzy. You'll need those elbows to lean on when things get dull around here. Duh! Oh, things don't get dull around you, Mr. Holiday.

Hey, what's that you're writing? A love letter? Yeah, it's a love letter to your publisher. He wants to know where are the chapters you promised for the new book and what are you telling him Susie?

A lie a big fat one. Thanks By the way, where are those chapters, mr Holiday if I had the my secretary to have a lot of extra work you don't like extra work to you Susie I don't like your worried look when you don't have chapters you have that look. Oh, does it show so much?
