The more you study the people upon whom fortune has smiled, and see how they manage to cope with fame and priviledge, the more you realize that it's just impossible to live like ordinary mortals. Regular folk have to wait for things. Famous people are too busy to wait. You have no idea what it's like: phone call with your agent at 11 AM, chest waxing at 4 PM. The days are just packed.
You have to feel some pity for Bateman. Real stars have people who get them phones. Maybe this was an act of pity: someone in the store said hey, that's Jason Bateman. If he's spotted out there standing like anyone else, it's going to make him look bad. Go get him. It's the decent thing to do. And grab Sherman Helmsley while you're at it. He's the little guy with the bag over his head, but I recognize that walk.
