People wanna see my next number.



Tony starts to sing, only to be drowned out by the sound of sirens. We see police running into the theatre as the reporters are running out.

TONY

You people shut up! You get me sick!

And someday when I'm playin' Vegas,

I'm gonna remember each and every

One a your faces and you're not gettin' in.

He leaves... he returns.

TONY

I just wanna say one thing... if I made

Just one person happy, it's all been worth it.

Thank you and good night.

INT. HOTEL SUITE - NEXT MORNING - KAUFMAN

Is sitting down at a table with a large collection of newspapers on it. He is speaking on the phone. Shapiro is furiously pacing back and forth.

ANDY

I'm sorry, Tony Clifton is granting no interviews.

I'll let you know as soon as he does. Bye.

(to George)

That's the fifth call this morning.

Zmuda runs into the room with a stack of papers.

ZMUDA

Here's some more. The Herald:

“Audience storms stage in Hollywood”.

GEORGE

Terrible! Just terrible!

ZMUDA

Here's another, The Times: “Last night

The most obnoxious act in show biz

history opened for Andy Kaufman.”

ANDY

(lost in thought)

“The most obnoxious act in show biz

history ”. Who was it that said, “It doesn't

Matter what they print, just as long as

They spell the name correctly”?

ZMUDA

P.T. Barnum.

GEORGE

Andy, that is nothing to be proud of...

People hated him.

ANDY

That's right, and they're going to hate

Him more and more. They're going to

Love to hate him. And more important,

they're going to pay to hate him.

I got myself the next... hoola-hoop.

CLOSEUP - MIKE WALLACE

Standing outside a theatre where Tony will be performing.

MIKE WALLACE

Hello, this is CBS news correspondent,

Mike Wallace... Clifton Mania is sweeping

The nation. From small towns to major

cities... What started out as a hoax by

ex-performer, now turned promoter/

producer, Andy “dank you veddy much”

Kaufman... has turned into a multi-million

Dollar-a-year industry. Tony Clifton

medallions, record albums, t-shirts...

There is even a Tony Clifton doll that

Sings off key and repeats such

memorable phrases as...

Mike Wallace pulls the string on the doll.

TONY CLIFTON DOLL

Getcha hands off me.

Getcha hands off me.

MIKE WALLACE

Exactly what the mass appeal is

Of this heavy-set, middle-aged man,

Who appears on stage dressed in a

Peach tuxedo and abuses his audience,

Has the sociologists still guessing.

But one thing is clear... the fans

Turned out in droves. We asked some

Of them exactly what they get out of

Coming to one of Tony's concerts.

SPECTATORS

Standing in line to buy tickets.

MALE COLLEGE STUDENT

I like to bring unsuspecting friends

And watch their reactions. You

Never know what Tony's going to do

next... I don't even think he does.

FEMALE CLIFTON GROUPIE

I think Tony's greater than Elvis Costello.

TRUCK DRIVER

Elvis who?

(dismissing it)

Clifton's crap... I come

To throw things at him.
