One day, Michael received a call on his private phone from “Mr. Lumet’s secretary. Mr. Sidney Lumet is in the neighborhood, and would be stopping by in five minutes to take you out to dinner.” Michael didn’t know what to do first; he wasn’t dressed properly, and his room was a mess. Somehow in five minutes he made himself presentable, tidied up and ran from door to door informing everyone excitedly, “Sidney Lumet is coming to take me to dinner!”
He then sat down and waited for security to inform him that Mr. Lumet had arrived.
Finally, LaToya confessed, “Michael, Sideny Lumet is not taking you to dinner. That was me on the phone!”
Michael got so angry that he dragged LaToya outside and wet her from head to toe with the hose…!
