[00:46.48]Yes. In there. Good luck. [00:53.84]Come in, come in. [00:58.34]This is a crazy morning. Hello, Richard. [01:00.51]Hello, Mr. Carlson. [01:01.61]Sit down, sit down. [01:03.57]Thank you for seeing me on such short notice. [01:05.90]I hope you've brought your pictures along. [01:08.21]I see that you have. Let's get right to it. [01:13.23]We need a new coffee-table book, [01:15.56]and a book of photos about the United States still feels right. [01:20.55]OK, let's take a look. [01:28.57]Good. Very good. Family Album, U.S.A. [01:43.31]It's an excellent title. [01:45.87]If you had to describe the book in one sentence, [01:48.37]how would you do it? [01:50.43]Well, I'd describe it as a book which is a ... [01:56.18]a portrait of the United States-- [01:58.54]the places, the people--mostly the people. [02:02.88]The things they do, the ways they live, [02:05.53]the places they visit, and the landmarks. 。 [02:09.27]A photographic journey. [02:12.28]These are wonderful-- [02:13.30]these photos in your performing arts section. [02:15.98]Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center. [02:18.48]I'm glad you like them. [02:20.03]I do, but ... [02:23.74]But? [02:25.81]There's something missing. You've got a good eye, Richard. [02:30.00]You're a terrific photographer. [02:32.98]But before I can publish your work, [02:34.90]I need to meet with my marketing department, [02:37.98]and you've got to do one more thing. [02:41.00]What's that, Mr. Carlson? [02:43.19]In the section on culture, [02:44.93]you've included performing arts centers, [02:46.97]but you've left out street performance. The mimes. [02:50.71]The musicians. The dancers--in the parks and on the streets. [02:56.91]Richard, if you go out Richard, [02:59.89]and photograph street performances in the city, [03:01.44]you'll have it. [03:03.54]That is a great idea. [03:06.08]The performing arts centers and the street performances. [03:09.44]I'll do it. [03:10.75]If you do it, I'll publish your work. [03:14.43]Are you serious? [03:15.69]I've never been more serious. [03:17.52]When do you think you can return with street performances? [03:22.00]A couple of weeks. [03:24.17]If they're as good as the rest of these pictures, it's a deal. [03:28.55]You won't be disappointed, Mr. Carlson. Thanks. [03:35.06]Good-bye, Richard, and good luck. See you in two weeks. [03:37.51]Good-bye, Mr. Carlson. Thanks. [03:43.68]So if you like the street-performance photos, [03:47.69]you'll really publish Family Album, U.S.A.? [03:50.54]When I say something, I mean it. [03:53.53]Go to work. Good-bye. [03:55.37]Good-bye.
