Look, Morry, I said, when his secretary had ushered me into his office, which was big enough to hold the World Series in,
gpt
I've really got something terrific lined up.
human
What is it?
gpt
It's a magician's act that--
human
Magicians are dead. Who wants to see rabbits pulled out of a hat?
gpt
This is different. This guy is good.
human
All right, he's good, Morry said.
gpt
So what? We can't use him.
human
But you ought to at least see the act, I pleaded.
gpt
It's got a honey of a girl, too.
human
Girl?
gpt
Yeah, a honey.
human
Well, Morry shrugged.
gpt
I can't promise anything, but we do need an act to fill in a spot within a week or so. But whatever I get has to be good. I can't send bums to New York.
human
I know. I know, I said. My heart was hammering with hope. One break on the Stem and I'd be set.
gpt
When will you catch the act? Tomorrow be all right?
