Jimmy: I wonder if I should make a comeback... maybe tomorrow. Hi, Elliot. What's up? Voice: A great gig, James. A truly great gig. Jimmy: I'm not interested. Voice: Now, wait a minute, Jimmy, hold the phone. I know you've retired, but as your agent, I have a responsibility to you. Jimmy: Which is not to bother me with offers to come out of retirement. Voice: Hey, I'm hip to that, babe, but this is different. It's a benefit concert. Jimmy: A benefit? For whom? Voice: The Harry Chapin memorial fund. It's a good cause, man. And the promoter and the hall have offered to donate their 30% of the gate! Jimmy: No kidding? Boy, with my take and their 30%, that could be a nice piece of change... Voice: That's the idea... Jimmy: Then with you kicking in your 10%, why... Voice: Nice talking to you, Jim.
