  Marilyn: What are you doing?

    Richard: I think I've got them.

    Marilyn: You think you've got what?

    Richard: Performing arts-performing arts centers. I think I've got them all, but I'm not sure.

    Marilyn: I think you have got it, Richard. Lincoln Center, home of the Metropolitan Opera, the New York City Ballet, the New York Philharmonic.

    Richard: Shubert Alley, center of the theater on Broadway.

    Marilyn: And Comegie Hall. And the others. I do have it all.

    Marilyn: You have been working on this for some time, Richard. I'm glad you feel you've finally put it all together. What now?

    Richard: Now for the hard part.

    Marilyn: Oh, you think you're going to have a hard time getting the album published?

    Richard: Well, it won't be easy.

    Marilyn: So, what do you think you're going to do?

    Richard: Does the name Harvey Carlson ring a bell?

    Marilyn: Oh,yes! Harvey Carlson! I remember.

    Richard: He said I should call him. He's the publisher of the Carlson Publishing Company. He said they need a new book of photographs, and he really liked my concept.

    Marilyn: So, why don't you call him in the morning?

    Richard: Do you think I have enough to show him?

    Marilyn: I've been through every section with you, Richard. It's quite complete. And now that you're satisfied, with the performing arts section, I think you should show it to Mr.Carlson.

    Richard: You're right. My Family Album, U.S.A. feels right. I'll call in the morning and set up an appointment to see him.

    Marilyn: He's going to love your work. Come on. Let's get some sleep.

    Richard: Is it too early to call Mr.Carlson?

    Marilyn: Seven after nine? No. I'm sure he's in his office.

    Richard: His number is five, five, five, seven, five, three, two. Five, five, five, seven, five three, two. Hello. Mr. Carlson, please.

    Receptionist: Mr.Carlson is busy at the moment. May I help you?

    Richard: I'd like to make an appointment with him.

    Receptionist: And your name is……?

    Richard: My name is Richard Stewart. He told me to call him about my project, Family Album, U.S.A.

    Receptionist: Mr. Stewart, I just spoke to Mr.Carlson. He would like to see you. But the only time he's available this week is tomorrow morning at ten 0'clock.

    Richard: Thanks. Thanks a lot. Good-bye. Well, it's done. Tomorrow morning at a publisher's office.

    Marilyn: Oh, it's so exciting, isn't it, Richard?

    Richard: Well, finally a publisher will see my work.
