1:38:01
long-time friend and producer,
Mr Caryl Fergusson,
1:38:04
in his office suite atop
the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
1:38:07
Mr Fergusson informed this reporter
that in the absence of living relatives,
1:38:11
funeral arrangements
are being made by his staff.
1:38:15
Where's that boy with the ice?
What's with the service?
1:38:17
Well, I guess I'll just have to struggle
along without any.
1:38:21
Fergy, are you saying that Wally
didn't leave us anything?
1:38:25
Right.
1:38:27
I gave a lot of years
to end up with nothing.
1:38:30
Oh, I suppose you call
that little house in Malibu
1:38:33
that Wally gave you "nothing".
1:38:36
You know what I mean.
1:38:37
Well, I don't know what you mean.
1:38:39
Wally did give you
that house in Malibu.
1:38:42
He gave Ellen a trip
to Europe every year,
1:38:44
he gave me that property
in Palm Springs.
1:38:47
Why, everybody in this room
was well taken care of...
1:38:52
...before he ever got on that plane.
1:38:55
OK, OK.
1:38:56
So, what do we do now?
1:38:58
We do what we've always done,
except we do it for somebody else.
1:39:01
What else can we do?
1:39:03
I'll probably wind up as
a public relations man for some
1:39:06
up-and-coming rock 'n' roll singer.
1:39:09
And I'll write jokes
for a hillbilly television show.
1:39:13
And I'll produce for somebody,
1:39:17
and Ellen will write letters
for some other somebody.
1:39:22
All seems like such a terrible waste.
1:39:25
I don't know.
1:39:27
I've been watching
this little scene here,
1:39:30
and I can't help myself.
1:39:32
To me, it has all the makings
of a real melodrama.
1:39:35
A great man passes on,
leaves behind him his expert staff.
1:39:40
What's going to happen?
1:39:42
Are they going to split up?
1:39:44
Each one goes his own little ways,
1:39:46
looks for a new subject
for his respective talent,
1:39:50
or are they going to stick together
and work and fight as a unit?
1:39:56
Tune in next week.
1:39:58
You know, you sound like a man
with very good questions
