[Answers phone]
Yeah?
Rick Ricardelli
Congratulations!
The Ghost
On what?
Rick Ricardelli
On having me as your agent.
The Ghost
Yeah, I can hardly believe my luck.
Rick Ricardelli
Are you packed?
The Ghost
I just got mugged.
Rick Ricardelli
Shit! Are you okay?
The Ghost
Yeah, all they took was the manuscript that Sidney Kroll gave me.
Rick Ricardelli
What? Why?
The Ghost
I don't know. You tell me.
Rick Ricardelli
Are you hurt?
The Ghost
No, I'm fine. I think they must have followed me from Rhinehart's.
Rick Ricardelli
Why would they do that?
The Ghost
Well, maybe they thought I had Lang's book. I knew this whole thing was a bad idea.
Rick Ricardelli
You're still okay to fly tonight, right?
The Ghost
For God's sake, Rick, I'm in shock.
Rick Ricardelli
Well, here's another shock for you. For one month's work on a manuscript that's already written, Rhinehart Inc. Is willing to pay you $250,000, plus expenses. Window seat or aisle?
