that it is too late for him to open a new restaurant now, because he will soon die. Georgie goes for a ride over New York City in his private plane and looks for the cemetery where his father said he wanted to be buried. Then, he tries to call first Ruthie and then Allison on the sky phone in the plane. Neither of the women recognizes his voice, so he hangs up, but not before revealing that he himself is "Harry Kellerman".
