     Carlson: Sit down, sit down.
     Richard: Thank you for seeing me on such short notice.
     Carlson: 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?
     Richard: 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 placesd they visit, and the landmarks. A photographic journey.
     Carlson: These are wonderful-these photos in your pen arts section. Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center.
     Richard: I'm glad you like them.
     Carlson: I do, but……
     Richard: But?
     Carlson: 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.
     Richard: What's that, Mr. Carlson?
     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.
     Richard: That is a great ieda.The performing arts centers and the street performances. I'll do it.
     Carlson: If you do it, I'll publish your work.
     Richard: Are you serious?
     Carlson: I've never been more serious. When do you think you can return with street performances?
     Richard: A couple of weeks.
     Carlson: If they're as good as the rest of these pictures, it's a deal.
     Richard: You won't be disappointed, Mr.Carlson. Thanks.
     Carlson: Good-bye, Richard, and good luck. See you in two weeks.
     Richard: Good-bye, Mr. Carlson. Thanks. So if you like the street-performance photos, you'll really publish Family Album, U.S.A.?
     Carlson: When I way something, I mean it. Go to work. Goodbye.
     Richard: Good-bye.
