:11:04
N-N... no, mmm... I don't have... no.
:11:08
27 million. D'you know how many dogs?
:11:11
- In America?
- 48 million.
:11:13
We spend 4 billion
on pet food alone.
:11:17
Four...?!
:11:19
I have a study
which shows that cats and dogs
:11:23
are beginning to watch television.
:11:25
If these scientists are right, we
should start programming right now.
:11:30
Within 20 years,
they could become steady viewers.
:11:33
Programming... for cats?
:11:38
Walk with me, Frank.
:11:42
Call the police.
:11:47
I'm not saying
build a whole show around animals.
:11:51
All I'm suggesting is we occasionally
throw in a little pet appeal.
:11:56
- Some birds, a squirrel...
- Mice.
:11:58
Mice, exactly.
:12:00
You remember Kojak and the lollipops?
:12:02
What about a cop that dangles string,
that's his gimmick.
:12:06
Lots of quick random action.
:12:08
Frank, wasn't there
a dormouse in "Scrooge"?
:12:11
No, but I always felt
that it needed a dormouse.
:12:15
- Dormice, better.
- Bingo!
:12:17
Frank, this show is the jewel
in the IBC crown.
:12:21
Everything is riding on it.
:12:23
Don't worry, I'm overseeing
every aspect of production.
:12:26
- We'll own Christmas.
- That's what I want to hear.
:12:32
- Lunch tomorrow?
- Right.
:12:34
Up, Sid. Study this.
:12:36
Oh, thank you.
:12:38
God...
:12:40
If only I could fire
that poor sonofabitch.
:12:43
...going down. Hey, Frank! Hold that
door, will you, Pops? Wait for me.
:12:48
Brice Cummings, we met at Spago.
Have you seen Preston?
:12:51
Uh, Preston just went back upstairs.
:12:54
I went to school with his son.
Give me a call, OK?
:12:58
Let's go. So, anyway, Coselle says...
