He can say that again.

Bill, he insisted on giving me a small bonus for it.

Three thousand smackers.

Wow.

Yeah.

So if Mr. Alvin Peabody Cartwright is calling for my services, I am ready, willing, and able.

Well, he is, Johnny. He says it's tremendously important that you contact him at once. All right, then I'll finish my banking and grab the plane. No. What? He's out there on the coast. He has a little, or at least he calls it little. He has a place right there in Beverly Hills at 10-321 North Roxbury Drive. 10.321 North Roxbury.

Only that it's very important that he see you right away.
