The premise

Here’s the bit.

A caption announces that Ann-Margret will try to throw a wad of paper into a trash can, and a man in a suit watches from the couch. The paper is hers to toss, but she wiggles, twirls, flings her hair, struts out into the hallway and storms back in, almost anywhere except over the bin. He keeps coaching and prodding her toward it, growing more exasperated with each wild lap around the set. When the paper finally leaves her hand he praises her, but the moment ends with a knock at the door and another round of the same dancing.

  38. 01:45

    Let's make this happen.

  39. 01:48

    So does this mean you're gonna get the door?

  40. 01:51

    No? Just more dancing?

  41. 01:54

    All right, you know what? I'll get it.
