Maxie's "performance of his life" was experienced only by his wife, Agnes, and him. There were no awards. No photographers calling "Over here, Mr. Williams. Over here!"

No interviews on national and international magazines.

Instead, he answered her question about working at Scherzer's, the high-end department store in Flemington. He told her he couldn't sell a glass of water to a man in the desert then added he made customers laugh and they usually bought a shirt or tie.

He spoke of working with some of the best people he'd ever known. Funny and creative, like an ensemble. Around them, he had gotten his timing back. They had encouraged him to audition for Tony's play.

He stared into his tonic and lime hoping to survive his emotions. What he got was the courage to ask Agnes a question.

What did he ask? Find out in Episode Twenty of . . . IT SUITS HER.

He stared into his glass, took a sip of tonic with lime, and asked: "Why are you here?"
