Phillip Marcus was his name. He told me ahead of time that he'd be coming straight from work and wouldn't have a chance to change. I knew from his profile that he was in the entertainment business. I figured that meant he was a standup comic or a musician or something. Of course the way my luck had been, I was fully expecting it meant he was a ticket taker at the movie theater.
