[Stan gets on his stomach and leans down to Michael.]

Stan Podolak: Yeah. [Looks at him and shakes his hand] Oh, I'm Stan Podolak, Mr. Jordan. I'm the Baron's new publicist. I'm here to make your life easier. You want me to drive you somewhere, I will drive you anywhere. You want me to pick up your laundry, babysit your kids, I will do it.
