Present Day, July 1997

“What about the eccentric Hollywood producer, Marty Latrell?”

“What about him, Diane?”

“Why is he set to testify against you? Any idea as to what he might say?” Diane probed.

Joey chuckled.

“Diane, Marty’s a helluva guy, and ironically a guy I’d consider a good friend. But…”

“Despite the fact that he’s going to be testifying against you?” she asked, incredulously.

“Everything isn’t always what it seems, Diane,” Joey replied enigmatically, adding, “I mean, maybe he just has a lot to get off his chest.”

“Sour grapes?”

Joey gave a hedging shake of the head.

“Who knows? You know, I mean we don’t always see eye to eye. Besides, the government, they’re the real gangsters because they make offers no one can refuse. So maybe it’s more of a…personal decision,” Joey suggested.

“Are you implying that he’s testifying because the government has something on him?”

“I didn’t say that; you did, Diane,” Joey chuckled, “but everybody knows that Hollywood’s a world of its own, so somebody’s gotta know where the bodies are buried, huh? Look Diane, I’m not concerned with what Marty might say, because he can’t say anything incriminating against me.”

“Well, recently in an interview, Mr. Latrell said, and I quote, ‘I was absolutely terrified of Joey Diamonds, but I loved every minute of it!’”

Joey laughed.

“Yeah, that sounds just like Marty. I mean, what can you say to a statement like that? Bottom line, Marty’s a good friend in a bad position. Despite our differences and what the government wants to believe about me, I’m one of the nicest guys you’ll ever wanna meet,” Joey said, cracking the smile he knew would make half of America’s heart skip a collective beat.
