      An extra $100 G's to Bill if he can engage with Fran, and keep eye contact without constantly fiddling with all his stuff. His focus stays on more ice, moving this glass over there, that bottle over here, looking for matches, lighting his cigar, pouring the drink, oops, time for more ice, getting a refill, the cigar needs another light, where is the ice!!! ... "now, where were we?"

    Fran was the politest guest on this show that I have seen. So many of Bill's guests speak over him and he speaks over them, creating an unpleasant hearing situation for me. Fran allowed Bill to finish his sentences and he allowed her. Very pleasant to watch. Lastly, she is worth listening to.
