Final Scene
"Listen, I'm not through yet. You know what's gonna happen to me? Suppose I tell you exactly what's gonna happen to you. You're gonna be back in television. Only it won't be quite the same as it was before. There'll be a reasonable cooling-off period, and then somebody will say, why don't we try them again in an inexpensive format? People's memories aren't too long. And you know, in a way, he'll be right. Some of the people forget, and some of them won't. Oh, you'll have a show. Maybe not the best hour, you know, in the top 10. Maybe not even in the top 35. But you'll have a show. It just won't be quite the same as it was before. Then a couple of new fellas will come along, and pretty soon a lot of your fans will be flocking around them. And then one day somebody will ask, whatever happened to... what's-his-name? You know, the one who was so big. The number one fella a couple of years ago. He was famous. How can we forget a name like that? Oh, by the way, have you seen Barry Mills? I think he's the greatest thing since Will Rogers. I don't figure him for a suicide. Marsha! Well, if I'd only left him in that jailing picket. Marsha, stop it. You were taken in just like we were all taken in. But we get wise to him. That's our strength. I'm back, Marsha!"
