Benny, she needs you. (Taking a breakdown from her desk and handing it to him) And you need this.
BENNY
Why?
MADALYN
‗Cause I can‘t keep giving you money. Two places I‘m payin‘ for.
BENNY
Help me with my film—you‘ll have ten places.
MADALYN
Yeah, well, in the meantime, this is a multi-network first class triple-A national in a hundred major

BENNY

MADALYN

BENNY
And all I gotta do is sell my soul.
MADALYN
All right. Look. Do the job, God help me… I'll make some calls.
BENNY
(Moment, thrilled) You will?
MADALYN
Think you can behave yourself long enough to get through the shoot?
BENNY
I‘ll walk in, give everyone a fat kiss on the tuchus.
