From Hollywood. It's time now for... Johnny Della. Starkin? Oh, sure Fred, how are you? I get a dollar a few. Oh, what's it all about? Clifford? No, I don't think so. That you tell you why?

Something to do with that lumbiard fire, I suppose. Well, as long as your company won't quibble over the expense account... As I guess we're stuck for it. Plus, my usual fear, of course. Well, now, let's talk about it when I get there.
