richard: speaking of promoting the book, do i really have to autograph copies for the guests at the opening?
carlson: its common practice.
richard: i feel uncomfortable about it.
carlson: a lot of people come to openings just so they can get the autograph of somebodywho may be famous someday.
richard: couldnt we wait until im famous?
carlson: a little further back, tom. its too close to the refreshments.
richard: no, i think this one belongs in the "people-at-work" section.
carlson: you may be right. try it there, tom
tom: right.
carlson: nervous about the opening tonight?
richard: nervous? me? no. im scared to death.
carlson: how about guests? how many people will you be bringing?

carlson: richard, i know your next book will be a success. congratulations!
richard: thanks.
marilyn: youre a real stewart!
richard: thanks.
