year old

[Music]

his right hand went up switched the ball

to his left and dropped it in we've got

a timeout call down there on the floor

with just two minutes

left in the ball game remember if they

win it the lakers would have won 12 in a

row

and they could be bidding for another

winning streak the longest ever in the

nba

held by the lakers 33 they've got a

chance for another shot at the

championships

all right here we go

it's usually tough going to get a

conviction on these bugging cases but

since you made a positive identification

and we got the radio back from the pawn

shop did you make the arrest

yeah you know mr mason when we picked

him up he wouldn't even tell us his real

name

claimed some friend had given him the

radio

he couldn't remember his friend's name

either well i'll drop by your office

tomorrow and sign a complaint

thanks uh mr mason

yes i'm aaron hayden i'm program

director of the amateur athletes

foundation

mr hayden this is jules baron our

founder and president

mr mason mr baron i've been waiting for

you

why because mr mason you're the one

person who can help us save

a young man's future randy is an athlete

of rare abilities who's had a

a rough time please don't prefer charges

i've already told the police i'll sign a

complaint and when i did that i knew

where randy marlowe started and where he

ended up

mr mason i was supposed to interview

randy this morning

mr hayden here recommended him for a job

on our staff

i'm shocked and i'm concerned about what

he's done but we're not ready to turn

our backs on him

if you'll refuse to sign that complaint

we'll forget about what's happened

we'll give him the job help him to help

himself

i'll give it some thought no you won't

mr mason you'll just walk out of here

and

put it out of your mind please at least

just talk to him

you'll see what we see a randy marlow is

worth a second chance

barlow the marvel the kg cager

is that what they call you the sports

writers a magician with a basketball

look man you wanted to see me so you've

seen me

you got your radio back and i'm in here

well even what else you want from me huh

well i just wonder why that's all

why the star of a national championship

team with a million dollar bonus

contract

ends up stealing radios in parking lots

well okay it's your life

but as a thief you make a great

basketball player

i was you know i was

good i mean and as long as you're

winning you're fat

a free ride pretty foxes you want a car

little extra bread you name it because

nothing's too much for a winner you dig

dig and then comes the big payday

a million dollar contract tv and radio

and papers and all that jazz

man you're cool until you're slipping a

pre-season exhibition game

and three operations later they tell you

your knee won't work

you've played your last game what about

that million dollar contract they must

have settled

nothing they've been talking about the

small terms in that contract for

two years nothing so what are you

telling me

when the sweet life was over and you

couldn't make it your way you decided

you'd just steal it

well you're going to make your cracks

man but i'm not diving

last night was the first time in my life

i ever stole anything

what pushed you last night i was

supposed to go see this guy about a job

this morning

working in athletics the kind of thing i

can do i had to go looking like a bum

went out to the forum where i could have

been playing last night

i figured i might see somebody who would

state me couldn't even get inside

don't ask me what was on my mind man i

don't know i don't know why i took your

radio

you thought it looked like a suit of

clothes

i'm in the slam

i keep telling myself randy you're an

idiot

you're in jail man

i'm in i still don't believe it

harry i just don't understand you i mean

if you were

some kind of a a reformer who who thinks

that every criminal has a lousy mother

or some

joe citizen who's afraid to get involved

uh i can shrug it off

i'm used to that but you you know better

or at least i thought you did

hamilton that you stopped ranting long

enough to listen perry do you realize

how many parking lot muggings and

murders we've had in the past six months

yes do you know how many of them are

second and third offenses

do you realize how difficult it is to

find eyewitness identification and

evidence to convict them

i mean here we come up with a case a

chance to make an example and you refuse

to sign a complaint

no i'm not finished perry you have an

obligation as an officer of the court to

press charges

and that's it you're all through because

if you're not i'm only willing to be

your audience until we get to my car

all right now as an office of the court

i do have an obligation

somewhere beneath the tons of rhetoric

pouring on me you have the same

obligation to consider every case on its

own merit

terry i don't need a lecturer injustice

neither do i listen to yours you can

damn well listen to mine

now in my considered judgment mine not

randy's not his friends

my judgment randy marlow needed a break

second chance i gave it to him that's it

a chance to do what killed the next guy

he slugged hamilton he's got a good job

waiting for him with

people who seem genuinely interested in

really who the syndicate

the amateur athletes foundation i spoke

to their top people

oh brother what does that mean

well that means that the people that you

talk to are all under investigation

by the california attorney general's

office and when they're through with

their investigation

some of those people from the aaf are

going to be indicted

because 95 cents on every dollar they

take in for charity

goes into someone's private pocket oh

perry

you plucked marla right out of the

frying pan and dropped them into the

[Music]

fire

[Music]

gertie what's going on oh isn't it

terrific we're on television

who is and for what we're mostly you but

i'm supposed to be in the background

now i thought if we could shoot it after

lunch i'd have time to go home and get

into something a little more exotic

gertie did you volunteer the use of this

office oh no you did you probably forgot

this woman came and told

della that you were a supporter or

something and that it would only take a

few minutes and you'd agree

gertie i'm going into my office when i

come out in five minutes i expect to see

nothing out here but you sitting calm

efficient

and lovely at your desk mr mason so glad

you're here

i'm sheila osborne from aaf you won't

need a teleprompter will you for these

few lines

and please feel perfectly free to

paraphrase anything that doesn't seem

quite natural to you

bella i tried to call you but i missed

you at court we agreed that you wouldn't

set up any of this equipment until mr

mason okayed it

just trying to speed things up mr mason

let me explain

the randy marlow booster board you know

prominent civic figures star athletes

entertainers

shaking hands with randy signing up as

boosters for aaf

no thank you mr softwood you mean to say

you're not going to support us

i mean to say i won't be pushed into

supporting anyone please clear all this

equipment out of my office

thank you mr mason yes

i'm sorry about this uh i didn't know

anything about it look can i talk to you

for just a minute it's rather important

come on in miss osborne

you weren't quite fair oh my dear i just

exaggerated a little

does he belong to anyone would you

please have the equipment removed

is he always like that only on weekdays

on saturdays and sundays he's really

fierce

all right guys that's a wrap randy i

hope you understand

oh sure i understand but i didn't have

anything to do with that

but that's not why i came to see you the

foundation certainly didn't waste any

time putting you to work

hey they've been wonderful mr barron and

mr heaton i checked in this morning and

uh

mr baron brought me these threads they

gave me an office and write off a signed

contract even a title

you're looking at the new director of

the booster board campaign

i'm impressed look uh

i thought maybe you might look at

something

my bonus contract you mentioned in the

slam that

uh maybe i should have gotten uh uh a

settlement

now professional teams usually make

provisions for cases like yours

i may take some time i'll have to read

this contract

make some inquiries look you've done

plenty for me already uh

so if it doesn't work i'll pay you uh so

much a week say ten dollars as long as

it takes

if it does work or you just name your

fee and well don't spend it yet

well on a remote chance that it does

work i want a big chunk of it to go to

the aaf

i'd like to give them something back you

know what i mean

i'll look into it thanks

what's going on greg i was gonna be into

the movies my face and all the fan

magazines

big money for endorsing beauty creams

but the boss said

well you just stick with it gertie

talent will out i'll live in hope

i'm sorry they just came barging in and

overwhelmed us

i can believe that hey i hear the af

really put the arm on you

you know if the rest of that outfit is

like sheila osborne well let me tell you

something if they are you can send a

couple dozen over to my house

sheila was she the fast talking brunette

yeah with the terrific

i don't think she's so terrific maybe

that's because you don't look at the

things the same way i do

i've got work to do

paul i'd like to know what goes on

inside the amateur athletes foundation

how they raise their annual take how

much of it goes for real services what

their president does to earn the annual

salary he pays himself

okay how badly do you want to find out

how far would a hundred dollars go

well that might give you a phone number

too i'm sorry friend

inflation all right mercenary 500.

well congratulations you're now on the

drake budget plan the aaf is already in

trouble

you've been a real shot in the arm for

this

tired organization why in just the past

few weeks

just since you've been here we've had a

whole flood of new money rolling in

from where from your friends randy from

from your university i'm hoping that the

celebrities i'm lining up for the

booster board campaign uh

will really serve as a new source of

contributions fine

i want you to keep one thing in mind

though randy

do you know what the single most

important ingredient is to the

success of an organization like this

money no

loyalty randy loyalty to the

organization that's in short supply

around here

don't be like the others randy i brought

them in here i

gave them responsibility and now they're

all working behind my back

i mean sheila erwin beatty

even aaron now i hope that as time goes

on

and as you move up in the organization

i can count on you whatever it is

you can always count on me

you think it's going to be much longer

i'm sorry mr edmondson mr beatty is

still busy

what about mr barron somebody just came

out of his office

i'm going to stay until he sees me you

know doctor mr barron is a busy man

say listen you uh you trying to sell him

too

no i haven't got anything to sell to

anyone not anymore

mr evanston mr baby

it's good to see you i'm sorry to have

kept you waiting to come into the office

thank you thank you i know you have

things to show me

would you mind trying just once more

i've got to see mr bennett

you'll just have to be patient i'm sorry

now this uh this isn't the whole line

you see so if you have anything in mind

you just give me a drawing or a picture

i'm named made up special for any amount

you want

mr hayes my assistant was very impressed

with your attitude

he said that you were a man of

discretion

from the sample list you certainly are

competitive but are you sure that you

could deliver in quantity

uh say a million and a half of these

souvenir dolls for mailing to donors

i bet you'd be only one of our suppliers

uh if of course i should decide to give

you the order

well now what would i have to do to uh

convince you

what do you suggest

well you know it's uh it's like i said

to your assistant mr baby uh

yeah i gotta like to make a little

contribution

i wouldn't want to pass through any

company you understand so uh

that would be in cash you know something

that you could handle

in uh round figures

well uh to simplify things uh you could

deliver the contribution to my home

address

you've got to do something i'm trapped

in my own office what are you talking

about

talking about doc he's out there again

now i don't care what you do

hire somebody if you have to but get him

the hell out of here

excuse me uh this is mr edmundson he was

showing me some very interesting samples

mr edmonson could you excuse us for a

minute a little private matters of

course you're surely

just let me just get this out of your

way here

heroin now i know exactly what you're up

to oliver you

sheila aaron and you better know this i

can nail you

anytime i want

mr meadows randy said your team had

refused to

no i'm not doubting you mr meadows

randy didn't tell me he'd signed a

release

yes yes i'll get back to you

well

randy marlowe asked me to work out a

settlement with arthur meadows the man

who signed him to his pro contract

i just talked to meadows he claims he

paid randy a hundred thousand dollars

i'll use the report on the amateur

athletes foundation

after me two weeks and i'd have two men

working on it so i'm afraid your 500

bill is um inflated um everything's in

there but uh

cutting it down to basics the place

stinks the state attorney general's

office has undercover people all over it

i keep seeing randy on those tv spots

with the boosters he's recruited for the

aaf

he's a born promoter you were born to be

promoted

i think i'd better have a talk with

randy i don't believe you mr meadows

yes i said mr mason's my lawyer

i don't know anything about any release

who made the settlement my name

you gave it to him or who gave him the

right

yes i'm on my way right now

yeah look can i can i quit it all right

all right i'll listen but make it quick

huh

i've been here three days in a row could

i help it if mr baron was out of town

but he's back now and his desk is piled

up to here

oh look today's impossible

now if you want to come back tomorrow

yes sir take it out to aaron hayden for

my signature

tell him he's fired

sheila how could he know all these

things

even who said what it's weird it's

not so weird if one of us was a fink

well anyway aaron's head is on the

chopping block

so who's next you or me

well it better not be me

mr baron's office hello mr edmundson

can you hold i'll have to catch mr baby

he just went down the hall

i know now all about that contract you

had me

sign a stack of papers 10 signatures i

didn't know how to sign the release and

all that

nobody held a gun to your head now that

was a condition of the employment it's

all perfectly legal

so that's how you manage to get your

hands on a hundred thousand dollars of

my grid

come on grow up will you sonny how much

you think ex-jocks are worth on the

market maybe uh what a quarter a dozen

and hiring you getting you sprung from

[Music]

[Music]

lieutenant

lieutenant i like to talk to you

uh sensitive instrument

anything anybody ever saw or heard

sure i can do that and get their names

and addresses

right lieutenant and then i'll give them

to you and you can feed them into that

sensitive instrument

[Music]

so

[Music]

you caught me use me let me bust my tail

in that loyalty jazz

as soon as they told me that you would

be representing randy marlow

i knew that you would be interested in

this pair no i don't watch much

television but this show

really grabbed me you were investigating

the aaf you bug baron's office you know

that's illegal the tape's inadmissible

wrong baron bugs his own office you know

as public figures have been known to do

only baron use a little more imagination

he used the same kind of miniature

camera

that banks use or jewelers even

supermarkets

so we have here what must be at first

you better sit down perry

this is perfectly admissible evidence

a videotape recording of a murder that's

my

tail and that loyalty jazz you're not

making any sense now come on get out of

here and

you know get some control of yourself

you're a good boy i'm not your boy

and i know now all about that contract

you had me sign

a stack of papers ten signatures you

know uh nobody held

a gun to your head now that was a

condition of the employment it's all

perfectly legal so that's how you manage

to get your hands on a hundred thousand

dollars of my bread come on grow up will

you sonny how much you think x jocks are

worth on the market maybe uh what a

quarter

dozen hiring you getting you sprung from

jail

it wasn't business that was charity now

out

it's uh too bad that the camera was

knocked out of line but uh

listen carefully

that's kind of going out the window

i want to copy that tape sure i

clobbered him i really hit him

he deserved it as much as anybody ever

did then you shoved him out the window

no i swear he might have been a little

groggy maybe still

shook up but he was alive and lying on

the floor when i left that office

randy do you realize if you're lying the

district attorney will tell your story

to pieces

and when i jive you you're my friend a

friend can wish you anderson

a lawyer's gotta prove it you gotta

believe me man i gotta believe you

all that tape you think i've had it

don't you

eight nine ten and that's it and i

thought i had it all together

working with aaron and talking all the

stars

really doing some good i told myself

randy you might not be marlo the marvel

anymore but you're still some good

so you run upstairs to jules baron's

office and take a punch at him

because i got a call from mr meadows the

owner of the team that signed me

baron had gone to him and put the

squeeze on him for a hundred thousand

dollar settlement

a hundred thousand dollars man and all

the money went in baron's pocket

ready you must have signed a power of

attorney or the equivalent where you

joined aaf

ah who knows man i signed something uh

whoever reads that small print except

for lawyers

and all the time i was on tv ripping off

all those other suckers when i was the

real sucker

all right when you came out of the

office did you hear a crash the glass in

the window breaking

i don't know yeah i heard something in

the hallway when i was waiting for the

elevator was there anyone else in the

hall someone who would have heard the

crash

when you did and might remember you i

don't know there was a guy making a

phone call or something uh

with a with a beard a little funny

looking joker look

what do you call it uh it's like a

triangle you know what i mean a van dyke

yeah with glasses too are you marx

now that was our last practice before

saturday you made it a good one now

who's going to win that main on saturday

right now i tell you what let's take two

easy laps around the marks huh

let's go nice and easy though

mr mason case you were wondering

that's what it's all about that's what

we're all about

well there's nothing wrong with that but

how far does it go

well not far enough that's for sure i'm

surprised you stayed on

well the board of directors asked sheila

to take over and she asked me to stick

around for a little while

you know you give me this program

nationwide

give me a lot of support hook all these

kids on sports we'll have a whole nother

generation growing up

well that's the public face of aaf but

don't you think it's a little cheap to

put out just a nickel's worth of service

for every dollar you take in

now what do you think all my fights with

baron were about

how do you think he finally fired me

they were like a bunch of pigs feeding

at the trough

jules baron stuffing his pockets and

sawing it away

sheila conniving and scheming behind his

back to steal a whole bowl of wax and

erwin baby scooping up everything that

was left

and then there was randy yeah poor kid

from what you've said you couldn't have

been too surprised that randy finally

blew it baron when he realized he was

being used

who didn't baron use the only surprise

is that randy was the first one to blow

up

hiring you getting you sprung from jail

it wasn't business that was charity now

out

no

[Applause]

doesn't look very good does it no

compared to randy's chances custer was

the odds are unfavored against the

indians

i was the man in the phone booth

with the van dyke in the glasses if he

saw randy come out of the office

and if he heard the crash that would

give randy the alibi he needs

you know van dyke there's a funny little

character sitting next to me in baron's

reception office

the receptionist called him doctor well

maybe she can help you locate this

doctor

i'll see what i can do

paul run the tape through again just the

very last part

[Applause]

so

[Music]

and it seems that we have developed in

this country

a prampit class of professional athletes

spoiled prima donnas who think that we

ordinary mortals

owe them a free ride through life now

ladies and gentlemen of the jury

randy marlow the defendant

took everything that society had to

offer education

celebrity adulation and the people will

prove

that when he couldn't get them he struck

out in anger

and frustration and he killed

mr mason you wish to make your opening

statement at this time

ladies and gentlemen of the jury i did

not

object to the district attorney's

opening remarks

simply because i was certain that you

were cringing as i was at the blatant

attempt to appeal to prejudice

prejudice against a young man just

because he happened to be born

physically gifted

if the defense wished to appeal to your

prejudice

and we could mention how a 12 year old

boy was kept late at night on a school

playground so that hustlers could make

bets

on the shooting uh a high school coach

played that same boy with 104 degree

temperature in a championship game

so the coach could win a college job

or the university

and gave him an easy education

and parlayed his superb skill into a

very profitable national championship

and of the professional team exploiting

their

bonus baby in too many exhibition games

until an injury cut short his

professional career

but we will not use these facts

to appeal your prejudices and we will

appeal instead to your judgment

we ask you to consider this case solely

on the evidence

if you do that

i am sure that you will find the

defendant

innocent

what a quarter a dozen and hiring you

getting you sprung from

jail it wasn't business that was charity

now

out

now lieutenant craig is this the tape

that you found in the office of the

deceased

yes sir it is where was the camera

located

the equipment was completely concealed

so that it could not be seen by anyone

and we could find no member of the staff

who had any knowledge

that their conversations with mr barron

were recorded or photographed

[Applause]

hey listen are you all right yeah boy

that was my last chance your ankle no

let's see anybody working for aaf is

required

required to develop proficiency in some

sport or other

oh anyway i i've gone right down the

list i've tried

uh tennis go oh

bowling swimming i broke my ankle trying

to ski

and today i find a female well issue

maker i'm not

what i'm not sure what a charlie horse

is i think i've got one

well listen it's probably just a crab

let me rub it for you

sorry just relax thank you

better see listen you were

you were telling me about an argument

the other day in barron's office

yeah sheila and erwin beatty getting

chewed out by the boss and

baron firing aaron hayden

and in the middle of the guy called he

said he was you oh

i mean he said he was mr edmundson well

what do you want

oh don't stop it feels good

um a price list from erwin baby

i went to look and when i got back to my

desk everything had happened

the guy had hung up i wonder who else

would know that name edmondson well

enough to use it

i mean it knew that you'd recognize it

it was funny

who's that strange little character in

the office one day doctor

dr faraday doesn't even tell you where

he's from

um some college i guess

jackson state was that uh florida

mississippi michigan michigan i think

neither

jackson state at michigan malaleno

college

mr hayden can you explain why you

brought the defendant into the

organization

despite his reputation for i'll rephrase

that

where was randy marlow when did the

seaton decided that you're urging

to hire him your honor may we approach

the bench

all right

y'all know the answer the district

attorney's after is prejudicial to my

client if the witness is allowed to

answer i'll have to move for a mistrial

i'll withdraw the question

tell me mr hayden what did your protege

do when he learned that he had signed a

away

his rights to the agreement of his bonus

contract

well he got pretty upset i he went up to

see mr barron

did you try to stop him common yeah

well what happened

just kept going he knocked you aside

didn't he

objection withdraw the question your

honor your witness

[Applause]

mr hayden is it not a fact that you were

fired by the decedent from the job you'd

held for 12 years

why were you fine when randy first came

aboard i i was so impressed with his

his energy his enthusiasm that i began

to

reevaluate things that i'd begun to

accept that we'd all begun to accept and

i

i guess i argued too strongly with mr

baron about the fact that

95 cents out of every dollar was skimmed

off the top before just a nickel

trickle down to us for actual services

fine

after 12 years service that's a good

part of a man's life work

wiped out finished

what did you do i tried to call him

when well right after randy left the

office

with what result well i couldn't reach

him his phone was tied up the whole time

doctor

[Music]

doctor i'm not a doctor i just work here

come on we both know you're dr faraday

how do you know my name

you're a hard man to find

you're that salesman from los angeles

edmondson that's right

what are you doing here in detroit

looking for you why

because i'm really a private

investigator paul drake

so uh what do you want with me well we

think that maybe it was you

call the aaf office using the name

edmonson to get the receptionist away

from the desk long enough for somebody

to sneak into jules baron's office and

kill him

i can't say i'm sorry about that first

useful thing i've done in years

well you can't understand how important

your testimony would be in our client's

defense

no sir i can't get involved with other

people's problems anymore

i've had enough of my own to last a

lifetime doctor

you know we can force you to testify so

why don't you come along voluntarily

or you could help to save a young man's

life

ms osmond were you present earlier when

mr irvine beatty testified that you had

contacted

10 members of the aaf board of directors

in an attempt

to oust jules baron yes

i was concerned about the organization i

helped to build it

and jules baron and his greed were

ruining it it's as simple as that

was that the subject of the argument you

had in barron's office a few minutes

before he was murdered

yes but erwin and i left together mrs

osmond where were you in that brief

period after you left jules baron's

office

and before he fell out that window

in the ladies room but even if i weren't

there was no way i could get into

baron's office

erwin beatty had a private connecting

door but i didn't

and the reception room entrance was

under guard by his secretary

ms osborne

that's all i have for now your honor

no redirect your honor your honor the

defense calls miss neither more

after i received the phone call i had to

leave my desk for a little while

what happened when you returned to your

desk miss osborne i

think it was or was it mr beatty told me

that mr baron had fallen

and they said to call the police and

then i remember the phone call

but the party had already hung up do you

know who it was made the call

well he said he was mr edmundson but

later on i remembered the voice

a dr faraday and he'd been in

oh i don't know how many times wanting

to see mr barron but mr barrett always

said to

get rid of him to put him off ms osborne

would you know this man if you saw him

again

i do see him it's right over there

i guess i was one of the first to be

taken by jules baron

only that wasn't his name then he was

calling himself jerry barton in those

days

how did you meet there was an article on

me

in the free press in detroit about a

typical country doctor

and about a dream i had a modern clinic

and a small town

to serve the whole county baron saw the

article

and he contacted you yes and he

persuaded me that he could make my dream

come true

i must say he worked awfully hard all

across the state

dennis telethons football games

county fairs and the money came rolling

in for the country doctor's dream

a pipe dream when it was over

the money was gone for expenses of

course

baron was clear

i went to jail i lost my license

i lost my wife everything

so after seven years you found jules

baron

had your chance to talk to him i didn't

want to talk to him i wanted to kill him

dr faraday was that why you came to

baron's office the day of the murder

made that phone call yes that's right

i've been trying to see him for weeks i

couldn't get by the receptionist

so i had to think of something to get

her away from my desk

and you finally succeeded i did make the

phone call

i did see the receptionist leave her

office

but before i could go in he beat me to

it

i'm sorry to say that that young man got

in there before i could

what's he doing beats me

he's using the witness to convict his

own client so what did you do when you

weren't successful in getting into kill

baron

i waited on the phone i was hoping that

he'd leave the office and i could go in

before the receptionist came back

how long did you wait four or five

minutes

and then i heard a crash you know the

glass breaking

he came running out of the office he ran

past me

and uh people were yelling screaming

i hung up the phone and i left

dr faraday your testimony raises a

problem so many people running in and

out of that office in just a matter of

minutes

fortunately we have an infallible means

of clarifying the point

don't happen

you caught me use me let me bust my tail

in that loyalty chair

mr mason you please explain what you're

doing

your honor we're conducting a

demonstration pertinent to the defense

in this case

in just a few that was a seconds

of the employment it's all perfectly

legal so that's how you've managed to

get your hands on a hundred thousand

dollars a month wait come on grow up

will you sonny how much you think

ex-jocks are worth on the market maybe

uh what a quarter a dozen

and hiring you kidding

yes are you aware that the phone company

has an automatic signal when one party

to a call hangs out

and the other does not no i don't

understand

let me explain we're hearing the beep

signal on the call i just made

we heard that same signal on the tape

introduced in evidence

but you testified you held the phone for

four or five minutes

yes i did it's impossible the phone

signal actuates exactly 60 seconds after

one party hangs up

and what does all that mean

it means you're lying about the call

means you hung up the phone almost

immediately

after the receptionist left the desk it

means that when randy marlar left that

office you went in

found baron lying on the floor

doctor means you shoved him out the

window to his death

will be in recess for 30 minutes council

will meet chambers

[Laughter]
