Marilyn: Do you like the dress?

    Richard: I love it.

    Marilyn: I designed it myself.

    Richard: It's beautiful.

    Marilyn: Are you ready? We're supposed to be there before the guests arrive.

    Richard: I know. I know. Help me with this tie, will you? Honey, I'm scared to death.

    Marilyn: But this is what you've been working for all these years.

    Richard: No, no. I worked to put together a book of photographs. This is show business.

    Marilyn: Well, it's all part of the same job. Just relax and enjoy it.

    Richard: You're right. I earned this, and I'm going to enjoy it. As soon as I recover from my nervous breakdown.

    Marilyn: What are you afraid of?

    Richard: Everything. A critic was there this morning. He probably hates my work. I have to sign copies of my book for a lot of people I never met before. My new shoes hurt my feet……

    Marilyn: You're going to be a great success. Are you ready?

    Richard: As soon as I get these cuff links on.

    Marilyn: Let me help. Mom and Dad are already on their way down to the gallery.

    Marilyn: There! You look very attractive.

    Richard: Thank you. Well, I suppose I'v run out of excuses.

    Marilyn: Mm-hmm. Let's go……

    Richard: Oh, one minute. Before we go to the gallery, I just want to tell you that I never could have done this book without your help and your love. I appreciate it.

    Marilyn: Thanks. Now, no more stalling.

    Marilyn: What is it?

    Richard: There's nobody here!

    Marilyn: Of course not, Richard. Your show doesn't begin until eight thirty.

    Richard: Oh. Right.

    Carlson: Richard! Welcome! Good luck tonight!

    Richard: Well, thanks. This is my publisher. Harvey Carlson. You've met my wife Marilyn……

    Carlson: Charmed.

    Marilyn: Hi.

    Carlson: It's good to meet you.

    Ellen: It's nice to meet you.

    Richard: This is my father, Dr.Philip Stewart……

    Philip: Nice to meet you, Mr. Carlson.

    Richard: My brother Robbie……

    Robbie: Hi.

    Carlson: Hi.

    Richard: And this is my sister Susan and her husband Harry Bennett and his daughter Michelle.

    Carlson: It's nice to meet you.

    Richard: And this gentleman is my grandfather, Malcolm Stewart.

    Carlson: Welcome, Mr.Stewart. Well, make yourselves comfortable. There are hors d'oeuvres at the table, fruit punch at the bar. Help yourselves. Can I get you something, Mr.Setwart?

    Grandpa: No, thank you.

    Carlson: You can feel very proud of your grandson, Mr.Stewart.

    Grandpa: I do. I'm proud of all my grandchildren, Mr.Carlson.

    Carlson: Of course. Feel free to look around. If you need anything, just ask.

    Grandpa: Thank you.

    Richard: Harvey?

    Carlson: Yes?

    Richard: Did Mitchell Johnson's review come out yet?

    Carlson: Not yet. The newpapers don't come out till about ten 0'clock. When they come out, we'll get it.

    Richard: Thanks.

    Carlson: Ready?

    Richard: Yes. Have the people arrived?

    Carlson: The guests are waiting. Tom's about to open the doors. Good luck! And stop worrying! They're going to love it.
