Family Album U.S.A.

{UNIT 17. Photo Finish}

{ACT I}
What are you doing?
I think I've got them.
You think you've got what?
Performing arts--performing arts centers.
I think I've got them all, but I'm not sure.
I think you have got it, Richard.
Lincoln Center, home of the Metropolitan Opera,
the New York City Ballet, the New York
Philharmonic.
Shubert Alley, center of the theater on Broadway.
And Carnegie Hall.
And the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts
in Washington.
And the Music Center in Los Angeles.
And the others. I do have it all.
You have been working on this for some time,
Richard.
I'm glad you feel you've finally put it all together.
What now?
Now for the hard part.
Oh, you think you're going to have a hard time
getting the album published?
Well, it won't be easy.
So, what do you think you're going to do?
Does the name Harvey Carlson ring a bell?
Oh, yes! Harvey Carlson! I remember.
He said I should call him.
He's the publisher of the Carlson Publishing
Company.
He said they need a new book of photographs,
and he really liked my concept.
So, why don't you call him in the morning?
Do you think I have enough to show him?
I've been through every section with you,
Richard.
It's quite complete.
And now that you're satisfied with the performing
arts section,
I think you should show it to Mr. Carlson.
You're right. My Family Album, U.S.A. feels
right.

I'll call in the morning and set up an appointment

to see him.
He's going to love your work.
Come on. Let's get some sleep.
Is it too early to call Mr. Carlson?
Seven after nine? No. I'm sure he's in his office.
His number is five, five, five, seven, five, three,
two.
Five, five, five, seven, five, three, two.
Hello. Mr. Carlson, please.
Mr. Carlson is busy at the moment. May I help
you?
I'd like to make an appointment with him.
And your name is ...?
My name is Richard Stewart.
He told me to call him about my project,
Family Album, U.S.A.
One moment, please.
What's going on?
I guess they're trying to set up an appointment for
me.
Mr. Stewart, I just spoke to Mr. Carlson.
He would like to see you.
But the only time he's available this week
is tomorrow morning at ten o'clock.
Thanks. Thanks a lot. Good-bye.
Well, it's done. Tomorrow morning at a
publisher's office.
Oh, it's so exciting, isn't it, Richard?
Well, finally a publisher will see my work.

Good morning.
Good morning. My name is Richard Stewart.
I'm here to see Mr. Carlson.
Please sit down, Mr. Stewart.
Mr. Carlson will be with you shortly.
Thank you.
Excuse me, Mr. Carlson,
but Richard Stewart is here
for his ten o'clock appointment with you.
OK. Thank you.
Like I said, he'll be with you shortly.
Thank you.
Yes, Mr. Carlson. Yes, sir.
He's ready for you, Mr. Stewart.
Thank you. In there?
Yes. In there. Good luck.
Come in, come in.
This is a crazy morning. Hello, Richard.
Hello, Mr. Carlson.
Sit down, sit down.
Thank you for seeing me on such short notice.
I hope you've brought your pictures along.
I see that you have. Let's get right to it.
We need a new coffee-table book,
and a book of photos about the United States still
feels right.
OK, let's take a look.
Good. Very good. Family Album, U.S.A.
It's an excellent title.
If you had to describe the book in one sentence,
how would you do it?
Well, I'd describe it as a book which is a ...
a portrait of the United States-the places, the people--mostly the people.
The things they do, the ways they live,
the places they visit, and the landmarks.
A photographic journey.
These are wonderful-these photos in your performing arts section.

Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center.

I'm glad you like them.
I do, but ...
But?
There's something missing. You've got a good
eye, Richard.
You're a terrific photographer.
But before I can publish your work,
I need to meet with my marketing department,
and you've got to do one more thing.
What's that, Mr. Carlson?
In the section on culture,
you've included performing arts centers,
but you've left out street performance. The
mimes.
The musicians. The dancers--in the parks and on
the streets.
Richard, if you go out
and photograph street performances in the city,
you'll have it.
That is a great idea.
The performing arts centers and the street
performances.
I'll do it.
If you do it, I'll publish your work.
Are you serious?
I've never been more serious.
When do you think you can return with street
performances?
A couple of weeks.
If they're as good as the rest of these pictures, it's
a deal.
You won't be disappointed, Mr. Carlson. Thanks.
Good-bye, Richard, and good luck. See you in
two weeks.
Good-bye, Mr. Carlson. Thanks.
So if you like the street-performance photos,
you'll really publish Family Album, U.S.A.?
When I say something, I mean it.
Go to work. Good-bye.
Good-bye.
