:57:00
our original contract
was for three years.
:57:04
lt's almost up.
lt's up in a few months.
:57:06
My game plan for you
is going perfectly.
:57:10
A lot of people laughed at me
when l said l only wanted one client.
:57:15
And a kid, too!
:57:18
lt's like a clothing store
:57:21
that specializes in
quality rather than quantity.
:57:26
All the other managers in town,
even my own family
:57:30
predicted that you would dump me
if you made it big on my efforts.
:57:35
l said, ''You do not know Jerry Falk.''
:57:39
''Jerry Falk and l have
a special relationship.
:57:42
''lt goes way beyond the contract.
:57:45
''We are very close.
:57:47
''l was at his wedding.
l bought him a toaster.
:57:50
''We are this close.
l've done things for him
:57:53
''you couldn't even write
into a contract.''
:57:56
[coughing]
:57:59
[tapping table]
:58:01
What's this?
:58:03
Our new agreement.
:58:07
You don't have to read it now.
Take it home and read it.
:58:10
lt's not that complicated.
lt's the same thing,
:58:13
except it's for seven years
instead of three.
:58:16
l figured, why burden you with
signing a contract every three years?
:58:20
Especially since we're gonna
be together for a long, long time!
:58:26
You can't sign that, Falk.
What are you, a cretin?
:58:29
l can't not sign it.
The guy's whole life is invested in me.
:58:33
The guy's an idiot!
He's in the wrong business.
:58:36
He should be pushing a rack
on Seventh Avenue.
:58:39
He put in the tough work
when no one else cared.
:58:42
He's not a bad guy, he's just...
:58:45
l can't figure you out.
You've been with a shrink for years,
:58:48
yet you're too guilty to say good-bye
:58:50
to the inept homunculus
that poses as your manager.
:58:54
lncidentally, my shrink says
l have to get rid of the rifle.
:58:57
- What?
- He says it's an acting out.
