Phil and Howard

Phil and Howard
(A 1970's drop-in center.)

Supervisor: These men don't get much chance for conversation. Why don't you go around and introduce yourself?

Phil: All right. (He goes over to a table.) How are you today?

Client: What do you want?

Phil: I just thought you needed someone to talk to.

Client: You think I'm needy?

Phil: Don't give up. I'm sure you'll get a job one day.

Client: Don't you recognize me, Phil? I'm your psychology professor from university.

Phil: Mister Frank? Oh. Sorry for disturbing you. (He moves to another table and finds a man crying.) Having a bad day?

Client: My wife left me.

Phil: Well I'm sure another woman will come along.

Client: Another Jacqueline Bisset?

Phil: You were married to Jacqueline Bisset? Get outta here!

(Enter a chauffeur.)

Chauffeur: Sir, your car is waiting. (The crying man gets up and follows the driver to the exit. An astonished Phil moves on to the next table.)

Phil: How are you feeling this morning?

Client: Terrible.

Phil: Well just hang in there.

Client: I won't cheer up until I get paid for my hit song.

Phil: You wrote a hit song? Which one?

Client: Oh What a Beautiful Morning

Phil: That sounds like an old one.

Client: I've been waiting since it made the Hit Parade.

Phil: Too bad. Say, who is that old man in the corner?

Client: Oh, don't bother with him.

Phil: Why?

Client: He thinks he's Howard Hughes.
