Mr. Lanz? I'm done.
Richie Lanz:

[sighs]
Richie Lanz:

Maureen:

Maureen:

Richie Lanz:
If you'll have me... Richie Lanz Management... globally, in all markets.
Maureen:

Ronnie:

Welcome to the team.
Maureen:
Thank you! Thank you. So $1,200?
Richie Lanz:
It's just to cover wardrobe, studio time, gym classes.
Maureen:
Oh, I go to a gym...
Richie Lanz:
Wanna get you a good blender too.
