Vanessa...

Welcome To
The Firestone Modeling Agency.

This Is The Modeling Agency?

You Got An Appointment, Honey?

How Does He Look?

Not Bad.

Send Him In.

Mrs. Firestone Will See You
Right Over There.

Hello, Mrs. Firestone.

Do You Have Any Experience?

No, But I Look Good.

I'll Be The Judge Of That.

Now...

You're Doing A Layout

You're Leaning On A Sports Car.

Very Masculine.

Let Me See That.

Not Bad.

Now Give Me
The Look Of Someone

Who Just Won A Ten

A New Father Who's Holding
His Baby For The First Time.

Goo Goo.

Goo Goo.

Let Me See Your Pictures.

Pictures?

Yes, Pictures Of You
In Different Looks.

Pictures Of You In
Different Clothes.

I Don't Have Any Of Those.

You're Not Going To Get Work
Without Pictures.

Get A Good Photographer
And Have A Set Of Prints Done.

That's Going To Cost
$ To $ , .

Could You Do Me A Favor?

What?

Could You Write A Letter
Stating I'm Working As A Model?

But That Would Be Dishonest.

Excuse Me,
I Must Call Paris.

Where You Going?

To Get A Reference.

Hold That Apartment.

Well, I Don't Know...

You Are Doing Great, Rudy.

Who's Rudy?

I'm Sorry.

I Mean Mrs. Griswald.

No Problem, Harley.

There's Nothing
In Here.

Where's
Your Stuff?

I Don't Know.

They're Going
All Out.

That's Why You've
Got To Be Good.

You've Got Nothing
To Worry About.

All Right.

Mrs. Griswald Told Me
You Were Up Here.

Hi, Mr. Weewax.

I'm Horton W. Dansberry.

You See

Instead Of
A Letter

I Brought
My Employer.

This Is Your Employer?

Yes.

What Business Are You In?

I'm In Oil.

Oil?

Yes.

I'll Give You
One Of My Cards.

"Cockroach Oil"?

You Told Me
You Were A Model.

I Am.

I'm The Spokesman
For Cockroach Oil.

Yeah. Let Me Tell You
Something About This Man.

He's Responsible,
Dependable, Hardworking.

In Fact, He's The Reason
Why Cockroach Oil

Is What It Is Today.

Congratulations,
Mr. Huxtable.

You Have
The Apartment.

All Right!

I Did It, Dad.

Who?

Come On, Dad.

Isn't This What
It Was About-

Me Getting The Apartment
By Myself?

I Proved
I Can Do It

So Let's Get My
Furniture In Here.

I Don't What
You're Talking About.

Okay, Hold It.

I Need My Dad.

Could You Find
Him For Me?

I'll See
If He's In.

Thank You.

Who's Playing
Your Dad?

My Dad.

Mr. Weewax Said
You Wanted To See Me.

How Much Longer
Will This Go On?

The Real World
Stops For No Man

But For You, Hours.

Hours?
What Am I Supposed To Do?

What People Do
In The Real World-

Get A Bed,
Some Sheets And Pillowcases

Turn On The Phone
And The Electricity

Get Some Furniture.

Where?

Ask Mr. Weewax.

Could You Get Him For Me?

I'll See If I Can Find Him.

This Is Fun.

That's Because It's
Not Happening To You.

All Right, Sir.

That's A Lovely Man.

Furniture, I Understand.

Know Where I Can Get Some?

Furniture?

Mrs. Griswald?

Oh, No.

Mrs. Griswald,
Could You Come Here, Please?

What Do You Want?

I'm Busy.

I'm Recommending That

Otherwise,
I've Got Everything I Need.

That's Very Strange.

With Your Money,
You Have Everything You Need.

You Want To Live
Like The Rich And Famous.

I've Never Seen It
That Way.
