Staff: Good morning.
Richard: Good morning. My name is Richard Stewart.
Richard: I'm here to see Mr. Carlson.
Staff: Mr. Carlson will be with you shortly.
Richard: Thank you.
Staff: Excuse me, Mr. Carlson,
Staff: but Richard Stewart is here
Staff: for his ten o'clock appointment with you.
Carlson: OK. Thank you.
Staff: Like I said, he'll be with you shortly.
Richard: Thank you.
Carlson: Yes, Mr. Carlson. Yes, sir.
Staff: He's ready for you, Mr. Stewart.
Richard: Thank you. In there?
Staff: Yes. In there. Good luck.
Carlson: Come in, come in.
Carlson: This is a crazy morning. Hello, Richard.
Richard: Hello, Mr. Carlson.
Carlson: Sit down, sit down.
Richard: Thank you for seeing me on such short notice.
Carlson: I hope you've brought your pictures along.
Carlson: I see that you have. Let's get right to it.
Carlson: We need a new coffee-table book,
Carlson: and a book of photos about the United States still feels right.
Carlson: OK, let's take a look.
Carlson: Good. Very good. Family Album, U.S.A.
Carlson: It's an excellent title.
Carlson: If you had to describe the book in one sentence,
Carlson: how would you do it?
Richard: Well, I'd describe it as a book which is a ...
Richard: a portrait of the United States--
Richard: the places, the people--mostly the people.
Richard: The things they do, the ways they live,
Richard: the places they visit, and the landmarks.
Richard: A photographic journey.
Carlson: These are wonderful--
Carlson: these photos in your performing arts section.
Carlson: Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center.
Richard: I'm glad you like them.
Carlson: I do, but ...
Richard: But?
Carlson: There's something missing. You've got a good eye, Richard.
Carlson: You're a terrific photographer.
Carlson: But before I can publish your work,
Carlson: I need to meet with my marketing department,
Carlson: and you've got to do one more thing.
Richard: What's that, Mr. Carlson?
Carlson: In the section on culture,
Carlson: you've included performing arts centers,
Carlson: but you've left out street performance. The mimes.
Carlson: The musicians. The dancers--in the parks and on the streets.
Carlson: Richard, if you go out
Carlson: and photograph street performances in the city,
Carlson: you'll have it.
Richard: That is a great idea.
Richard: The performing arts centers and the street performances.
Richard: I'll do it.
Carlson: If you do it, I'll publish your work.
Richard: Are you serious?
Carlson: I've never been more serious.
Carlson: When do you think you can return with street performances?
Richard: A couple of weeks.
Carlson: If they're as good as the rest of these pictures, it's a deal.
Richard: You won't be disappointed, Mr. Carlson. Thanks.
Carlson: Good-bye, Richard, and good luck. See you in two weeks.
Richard: Good-bye, Mr. Carlson. Thanks.
Richard: So if you like the street-performance photos,
Richard: you'll really publish Family Album, U.S.A.?
Carlson: When I say something, I mean it.
Carlson: Go to work. Good-bye.
Richard: Good-bye.
