MS Roy Clark speaking to off-screen reporter: "I ve always done comedy or humor. The kind of comedy I do is bordering on slapstick. It s very easy, very light comedy. And to get through with something like that & go into a very serious song like Yesterday When I Was Young, which is the biggest one I ever had it bothered me for a while but the more I do it the easier it is for me to get into it. I still think about it, though." Reporter makes mention of how a teacher of Roy s said he would never amount to anything, then lists his numerous ventures. "Everything I get into always has at least one partner that knows that specific business b/c I don t know it. I don t have the kind of money that I can afford to be throwing away." Reporter asks what Roy s future plans are. "I ve always been attracted by the unknown, the things I haven t done, and I d like to do a movie. We have our script that was written by a Texas boy from down in Houston. (It s) very funny. We ve had it to some of the top directors in Hollywood & they all think it s a great script. The thing that s holding us up is money."
