I've no business in show business

While visiting the tournament in Lost Wages, peddling my books, the honorable Steve Booth asked me if I wanted to comment on one of the matches with him. It was Bustamonte against Silver, both great players, both strangers to myself. While Steve predicted every move as if he was both players coach, I said things like "Gosh, that was a purty shot. How much did you say they're playing for?"
I just wanted to issue a public thank you to Mr. Booth for giving me a shot at show business...of which I have no business.

Actually, Steve, hanging with you was a blast. Thank you buddy. You really...
keep it nice...Alfie
