Yeah, yeah.

Because people go, it must have been.

I go, no, the first one was the hardest because that came out of nowhere.

Then it became just money to me.

I didn't have any money, so what did it matter?

Yeah.

And I turned down the $500,000.

Then William Morris came, ICM came, and all these big- William Morris who's Swifty Lazaro.

Yeah, and then all these people came, and then finally I signed with William Morris, and they brought me to another studio who wanted to see me, and I sat down at the table, and the guy, I'll never forget it, they were all sitting around a table, and the guy had a piece of paper right here, and he slid it over to me during the meeting, and he said, if you sign that paper, Chaz, you'll have a check for $1 million tomorrow.

And I said, a million dollars.

I said, but I have to play Sonny.

And the guy, I'll never forget, he just put his head down like this.

He said, listen.

You're a great actor.

I know you've been on Broadway.

You're terrific.

But we can't make a big movie with you playing the lead.

No one knows you.

No one.

So I just said, is there a bathroom you have here?
