Zonker: Do you have any idea what a blow all of this has been to me, Mark? Mark: There'll be another season, Zonk, another shot at the pros. Zonker: I know, I know. But it's just so demoralizing. Mark: Look, you've got to get your mind off tanning! Why don't you drive down to Studio 54 with me tonight? Zonker: The famed celebrity dance hall? Are you kidding me? Mark: Why not? I'm taping a broadcast there for my new disco show! What do you say? Zonker: I can't, Mark. Strobe lights dry out the skin, see. Mark: Zonker, you have to put all that behind you!

Probly a cigarette. I was about the only person I knew who didn’t smoke in those days. It was a bodily function, like eating or sleeping. Any workplace had ashtrays everywhere.
