Though Bachelor Nader has no antipathy to girls, he rarely has the time or inclination for dates. Says his father: "We're very proud of Ralph. But we wish...
...wins a huge artistic success in Waiting for Godot as his stage career dims, and finally -oh, irony-makes the biggest money of his life ($75,000 a year) pushing Lay's Potato Chips on TV commercials. Until at final fadeout with cancer (his hypochondriac nightmare come true), nurse bends over and sees him inaudibly whispering an old comedy routine...
