carlson: ah, richard, marilyn, i want you to meet john o'neill.

richard: oh,how do you do ?

marilyn: nice to meet you.

o'neill: i've been looking forward to meeting your husband, mrs. stewart. i'm really impressed by your show.

richard: thank you.

o'neill: in fact, i'd like your autograph.

richard: oh, well, really...

o'neill: on a contract.

richard: what's this about, harvey?

carlson: mr. o'neill is the publisher of several magazines.

marilyn: of course. i've seen you on television.

carlson: mr. o'neill was so impressed with your work that he wants to develop it into a magazine concept.

richard: well, that sounds very exciting, but where would i fit into the plan?

o'neill: i'd like you to be the photo editor of the magazine.

marilyn: oh, richard, how exciting!

carlson: it's a wonderful opportunity, richard.

richard: hold on. wait a minute, please.

carlson: what's the problem, richard?

richard: the problem is that i'm a photographer, not an editor. i like what i do. in fact, i love what i do...which is going out with a camera and a roll of film and seeing the wonder of humanity. now, i appreciate your offer, but i've worked so hard on family album, u.s.a. and i'm giving some thought to a new book on a different subject. i'm flattered, but i enjoy taking pictures, and i want to continue doing that. thank you, but i'm happy being a photographer.

o'neill: i understand, richard.

carlson: richard, i know your next book will be a success. congratulations!

richard: thanks.

marilyn: you're a real stewart!

richard: thanks.
