Fran and Maxwell worry about his biggest chance to beat Andrew Lloyd Webber at the Tonys is going to be wasted, since he can't get a decent play script won't be able to open any new shows. Fran shows him Yetta's old love letters she wrote to a waiter she met on the ship that brought her from Romania, but Maxwell doesn't think those will make a good play. The letters get accidentally sent to Andrew Lloyd Weber's office and he tries to buy the play rights for Yetta's letters, but Maxwell steps in "thanks to Sylvia's power of attorney" and opens one of the most successful plays of the season.
