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
        markets.


                                                           BENNY
        (Moment) Hah?


                                                         MADALYN
        They need a spokesman-- they owe me a favor—and it pays a fortune.


                                                              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.


                                                         MADALYN
        And you‘ll go over the music tomorrow with Kelly. (Moment) Give her another chance. You‘ll fall in
                                                             54
