Punky In the Record Business
After receiving compliments from Punky, Tony decides to record his music for release with the help of recording executive Lonnie Dell, the owner of a recording company known as Dell Star. It turns out that Dell is a crook. When Tony auditions, Dell says he'll cancel a recording session with Prince and work with Tony for $2500 cash, then, on a hunch, Henry auditions -- after secretly turning Dell's intercom on so Tony and Punky can hear it -- and Dell says the exact same thing to Henry that he said to Tony, and this proves that Dell likes to take advantage of people's dreams and con people out of their money. Henry still feels out of touch with Punky's generation, but Punky assures Henry that he's fine just the way he is, and a grateful Tony agrees to give Punky some free piano lessons. -tv.com
