Johnny Dollar.

Mr. Dollar, this is Barton, H.B. Hollister, at Greater Southwest Insurance Company.

Oh, not Hollister in Phoenix, Arizona.

That's right.

Oh, here we go again.

What was that, sir?

Nothing. Just go right ahead.

Yes. Now, Mr. Dollar, I want you to arrange airplane transportation for yourself out here immediately.

Oh, you do, huh? What's your problem?

You are to protect the life of one of our clients.

Now, Mr. Hollister.

His name is Henry Kirkham, and I shall expect you out here in Arizona without delay.

Now, wait just a minute. Let me be perfectly honest about this.

Please do.

I have never liked, do not now like, and never will like these bodyguard assignments. As far as I'm concerned, they're for the birds. I beg your pardon. What's more, you have a whale of a good police department out there in Phoenix, and if somebody needs protection, why not call on them? Mr. Dollar? Yes. Did I say that Mr. Kirkham lives here in Phoenix?

No, I guess you didn't.

And did I, in any way, imply that you wouldn't be paid most handsomely for this service?

Oh, like maybe how much?

Not a sizable extra consideration if you can turn whoever is threatening our client's life over to the proper

authorities. Is that so? Yes. Mr. Hollister, you have just struck a very responsive cord.

Yes, I thought I would. So, I'll expect you here immediately. Well, it's pretty late in the day,

but if I can get a night flight, maybe I'll see your first thing in the morning. Not before? I'll look into the plane's schedules. Yes, I suggested you do. But first, why don't we discuss just how much this extra fee is going to... What? I said goodbye. Now, wait a minute, Mr. Hap... I'll be expecting you. But unless we can agree, hello, hello.
