1. Get a cheap New York accent.

2. Call merchants with food in your mouth.

3. Upon giving approvals, threaten that they can't do any better and insult them with wise-guy cracks recycled from a Martin Scorsese movie.

4. Go home to your apartment, should be big enough to hold a mini-fridge, plop down with a beer and watch the Sports team of your choice. Brooklyn is a good start.

5. Rinse. Repeat.

Congratulations. You're an MCA broker.
