[00:23.342] | Hi |
[00:23.843] | Mary |
[00:24.342] | Say hello |
[00:25.092] | |
[00:25.343] | I think I got a job |
[00:26.593] | Where? |
[00:27.092] | True Romances |
[00:27.843] | |
[00:28.092] | Posing? |
[00:28.842] | Thank you, writing captions |
[00:30.093] | What about the book? |
[00:30.842] | What about the book? |
[00:31.343] | |
[00:31.592] | Nothing, are you working on your book? |
[00:32.592] | Yes |
[00:33.092] | Good |
[00:33.343] | No |
[00:33.843] | |
[00:34.092] | Mary |
[00:34.593] | Right, I know, yes, me and Balzac |
[00:36.343] | |
[00:39.842] | I finished the one act |
[00:40.592] | I got an audition |
[00:41.593] | I started the story |
[00:42.592] | Rehearsal pianist |
[00:43.342] | |
[00:43.342] | So where are we eating? |
[00:44.592] | I'm moving to Playboy |
[00:45.592] | The publisher called me |
[00:46.342] | I'm doing a rewrite |
[00:47.093] | |
[00:47.343] | My parents are coming |
[00:48.342] | I saw My Fair Lady |
[00:49.342] | I rewrote the rewrite |
[00:50.093] | I sort of enjoyed it |
[00:50.843] | |
[00:51.342] | I threw out the story |
[00:51.843] | I'm meeting an agent |
[00:53.092] | We'll all get together on Sunday |
[00:54.343] | |
[00:54.592] | We're opening doors |
[00:55.843] | Singing, 'Here we are' |
[00:58.093] | We're filling up days |
[00:59.593] | On a dime |
[01:01.342] | |
[01:01.843] | That faraway shore's |
[01:03.343] | Looking not too far |
[01:05.342] | We're following every star |
[01:07.343] | There's not enough time |
[01:10.093] | |
[01:15.843] | I called a producer |
[01:16.594] | I sent off the one act |
[01:17.593] | I started the story |
[01:18.593] | He said to come see him |
[01:19.342] | |
[01:19.593] | I dropped out of college |
[01:20.593] | I met this musician |
[01:21.592] | I'm playing a nightclub |
[01:22.593] | They're doing my one act |
[01:23.343] | |
[01:23.592] | I'm working for Redbook |
[01:24.593] | I rewrote the ballad |
[01:25.592] | I finished the story |
[01:26.342] | We started rehearsals |
[01:27.344] | |
[01:27.344] | I threw out the story |
[01:28.342] | And then the musician |
[01:29.343] | I'm moving to Popular Science |
[01:30.592] | |
[01:30.842] | We're opening doors |
[01:32.343] | Singing, 'Look who's here' |
[01:34.342] | Beginning to sail |
[01:35.843] | On a dime |
[01:37.843] | |
[01:38.092] | That faraway shore's |
[01:39.593] | Getting very near |
[01:41.842] | We haven't a thing to fear |
[01:43.843] | We haven't got time |
[01:47.342] | |
[01:48.791] | How's it coming? |
[01:49.291] | Good, You? |
[01:50.291] | Done |
[01:50.791] | One minute |
[01:51.542] | |
[01:51.791] | Hamburg Heaven |
[01:53.041] | Hi |
[01:53.540] | Mary |
[01:53.791] | Say hello |
[01:54.541] | |
[01:54.791] | I got another job |
[01:56.290] | Where? |
[01:56.790] | Chic |
[01:57.291] | What's that? |
[01:57.792] | |
[01:58.041] | A brand new concept: |
[01:58.540] | Pop up pictures |
[01:59.541] | What about the book? |
[02:00.291] | What about the book? |
[02:00.791] | |
[02:01.041] | Did you give the publisher the book? |
[02:02.041] | Yes |
[02:02.540] | Good |
[02:03.041] | No |
[02:03.291] | |
[02:03.541] | Mary |
[02:04.041] | Look, I |
[02:04.291] | Finished |
[02:04.790] | Let me call you back |
[02:05.291] | Right |
[02:05.541] | |
[02:06.290] | This is just a draft |
[02:06.540] | Right |
[02:07.041] | Probably it stinks |
[02:07.541] | Right |
[02:08.040] | I haven't had the time to do a polish |
[02:09.727] | Will you sing |
[02:10.228] | |
[02:10.477] | Right |
[02:10.978] | "Who wants to live in New York? |
[02:13.727] | Who wants the worry, the noise, the dirt, the heat? |
[02:16.477] | Who wants the garbage cans clanging in the street? |
[02:19.477] | Suddenly I do |
[02:21.477] | |
[02:22.226] | They're always popping the cork |
[02:24.227] | I'll fix that line |
[02:25.727] | The cops, the cabbies, the salesgirls up at Saks |
[02:28.227] | You gotta have a real taste for maniacs |
[02:30.977] | Suddenly I do |
[02:33.227] | |
[02:33.726] | That's great, that's swell |
[02:36.727] | The other stuff as well |
[02:39.727] | It isn't every day |
[02:40.977] | I hear a score this strong |
[02:42.727] | But fellas, if I may |
[02:43.728] | There's only one thing wrong |
[02:45.227] | |
[02:45.478] | There's not a tune you can hum |
[02:48.477] | There's not a tune you go bum, bum, bum, di, dum |
[02:51.477] | You need a tune you can bum, bum, bum, di, dum |
[02:54.477] | Give me a melody |
[02:56.421] | |
[02:57.420] | Why can't you throw 'em a crumb? |
[03:00.171] | What's wrong with letting 'em tap their toes a bit? |
[03:02.920] | I'll let you know when Stravinsky has a hit |
[03:05.921] | Give me some melody |
[03:08.421] | |
[03:08.670] | Oh sure, I know |
[03:11.672] | It's not that kind of show |
[03:14.671] | But can't you have a score |
[03:16.170] | That's sort of in between? |
[03:17.671] | Look, play a little more |
[03:18.921] | I'll show you what I mean |
[03:20.420] | |
[03:20.670] | Who wants to live in New York? |
[03:23.420] | I always hated the dirt, the heat, the noise |
[03:26.171] | But ever since I met you, I |
[03:29.365] | |
[03:29.615] | Listen, boys, maybe it's me |
[03:31.616] | But that's just not a humable melody |
[03:36.865] | Write more, work hard |
[03:38.116] | Leave your name with the girl |
[03:39.116] | |
[03:39.616] | Less avant-garde |
[03:41.116] | Leave your name with the girl |
[03:43.116] | Just write a plain old melodey |
[03:57.366] | |
[04:01.866] | They're stopping rehearsals |
[04:02.615] | They ran out of money |
[04:04.865] | We lasted one issue |
[04:05.617] | My book was rejected |
[04:06.866] | |
[04:07.865] | The nightclub was raided |
[04:08.866] | I have to start coaching |
[04:11.616] | My parents are coming |
[04:12.615] | They screwed up the laundry |
[04:13.866] | |
[04:14.115] | My wallet was stolen |
[04:14.866] | I saw the musician |
[04:15.865] | We're being evicted |
[04:16.865] | I'm having a breakdown |
[04:17.865] | We'll all get together on Sunday |
[04:18.616] | |
[04:19.365] | They're slamming doors |
[04:20.615] | Singing, 'Go away' |
[04:22.865] | It's less of a sail |
[04:24.616] | Than a climb |
[04:26.365] | |
[04:26.617] | That faraway shore's |
[04:28.366] | Farther every day |
[04:30.616] | We're learning to ricochet |
[04:32.366] | We still have a lot to say |
[04:33.866] | |
[04:34.615] | You know what we'll do? |
[04:35.866] | What? |
[04:36.616] | We'll do a revue |
[04:37.615] | What? |
[04:38.365] | |
[04:38.616] | What? |
[04:39.115] | We'll do a revue of our own |
[04:41.366] | What? Where? |
[04:41.866] | Why? When? |
[04:42.865] | |
[04:43.116] | Not just songs but stories, scenes |
[04:44.616] | Piano pieces, mime |
[04:46.115] | Yeah |
[04:46.867] | |
[04:47.366] | Frankly Frank |
[04:47.865] | A showcase of our own? |
[04:49.116] | Where? |
[04:49.615] | |
[04:49.615] | The club's reopening |
[04:50.616] | We'll write a lot of new stuff |
[04:51.616] | Rewrite the old stuff |
[04:52.366] | |
[04:52.615] | What about the girl? |
[04:53.116] | What about the girl? |
[04:53.865] | Only that we're gonna need a girl |
[04:55.116] | Well, Mary |
[04:55.866] | |
[04:56.116] | Thanks, I don't perform except at dinner |
[04:58.615] | |
[04:58.866] | Who wants to live in New York? |
[05:02.116] | Who wants the worry, the noise, the dirt, the heat? |
[05:05.116] | Who wants the garbage cans clanging in the street? |
[05:08.365] | |
[05:08.615] | Thank you,but we are looking for |
[05:10.116] | Someone with more experience |
[05:10.865] | |
[05:11.365] | They're always popping their cork |
[05:14.115] | Up a tone |
[05:14.615] | The cops, the cabbies, the salesgirls up at Saks |
[05:16.866] | Up a tone |
[05:19.062] | You gotta have a real taste for maniacs |
[05:20.812] | Thank you, you're hired |
[05:23.062] | |
[05:23.561] | I'm Beth |
[05:24.562] | I'm Frank |
[05:25.561] | I really thought I stank |
[05:27.061] | I'm Mary |
[05:27.561] | Charley |
[05:28.061] | |
[05:28.311] | By the way |
[05:28.811] | I'm told we open Saturday |
[05:31.562] | What |
[05:32.061] | You're not serious |
[05:32.561] | Nobody's ready |
[05:33.311] | |
[05:33.561] | Apparently someone cancelled a booking |
[05:35.562] | The songs aren't finsihed |
[05:36.561] | And what about costumes? |
[05:37.561] | And how do I learn all these numbers? |
[05:39.062] | I'll bring you the copies of everything later this evening. |
[05:39.561] | |
[05:40.061] | Okay, but I'll have to have all the music and |
[05:40.561] | Saturday I've got to sing at a wedding |
[05:40.811] | Oh God, is there dancing 'cause I'm not a dancer? |
[05:41.310] | Not to mention I still haven't finished the |
[05:41.811] | Synanon song or the Kennedy number |
[05:42.312] | |
[05:42.562] | You don't have to, we'll segue the |
[05:43.062] | End of it into the dance we cut out |
[05:43.312] | And what'll we do about getting publicity |
[05:43.811] | Run around town putting stickers on windows? |
[05:44.312] | |
[05:44.811] | And have we decided or not on the restaurant sketch? |
[05:45.311] | I need two or three days to replace it |
[05:45.812] | | No, we'll use it but not with the long introduction |
[05:46.811] | We'll worry about it on Sunday |
[05:47.812] | |
[05:48.061] | We're opening doors, singing, 'Here we are' |
[05:51.811] | We're filling up days on a dime |
[05:55.312] | That faraway shore's looking not too far |
[05:59.508] | We're following every star |
[06:00.758] | There's not enough time |
[06:04.008] | |
[06:04.508] | We're banging on doors, shouting, 'Here again' |
[06:08.007] | We're risking it all on a dime |
[06:11.759] | That faraway shore's looking near again |
[06:15.508] | The only thing left is when |
[06:17.507] | We know we should count to ten |
[06:19.258] | We haven't got time, we haven't got time |
[00:19.093] | How' s it going? |
[00:19.842] | Good, you? |

[02:33.726] | That' s great, that' s swell |
[02:36.727] | The other stuff as well |
[02:39.727] | It isn' t every day |
[02:40.977] | I hear a score this strong |
[02:42.727] | But fellas, if I may |
[02:43.728] | There' s only one thing wrong |
[02:45.227] | |
[02:45.478] | There' s not a tune you can hum |
[02:48.477] | There' s not a tune you go bum, bum, bum, di, dum |
[02:51.477] | You need a tune you can bum, bum, bum, di, dum |
[02:54.477] | Give me a melody |
[02:56.421] | |
[02:57.420] | Why can' t you throw ' em a crumb? |
[03:00.171] | What' s wrong with letting ' em tap their toes a bit? |
[03:02.920] | I' ll let you know when Stravinsky has a hit |
[03:05.921] | Give me some melody |
[03:08.421] | |
[03:08.670] | Oh sure, I know |
[03:11.672] | It' s not that kind of show |
[03:14.671] | But can' t you have a score |
[03:16.170] | That' s sort of in between? |
[03:17.671] | Look, play a little more |
[03:18.921] | I' ll show you what I mean |
[03:20.420] | |
[03:20.670] | Who wants to live in New York? |
[03:23.420] | I always hated the dirt, the heat, the noise |
[03:26.171] | But ever since I met you, I |
[03:29.365] | |
[03:29.615] | Listen, boys, maybe it' s me |
[03:31.616] | But that' s just not a humable melody |
[03:36.865] | Write more, work hard |
[03:38.116] | Leave your name with the girl |
[03:39.116] | |
[03:39.616] | Less avantgarde |
[03:41.116] | Leave your name with the girl |
[03:43.116] | Just write a plain old melodey |
[03:57.366] | |
[04:01.866] | They' re stopping rehearsals |
[04:02.615] | They ran out of money |
[04:04.865] | We lasted one issue |
[04:05.617] | My book was rejected |
[04:06.866] | |
[04:07.865] | The nightclub was raided |
[04:08.866] | I have to start coaching |
[04:11.616] | My parents are coming |
[04:12.615] | They screwed up the laundry |
[04:13.866] | |
[04:14.115] | My wallet was stolen |
[04:14.866] | I saw the musician |
[04:15.865] | We' re being evicted |
[04:16.865] | I' m having a breakdown |
[04:17.865] | We' ll all get together on Sunday |
[04:18.616] | |
[04:19.365] | They' re slamming doors |
[04:20.615] | Singing, ' Go away' |
[04:22.865] | It' s less of a sail |
[04:24.616] | Than a climb |
[04:26.365] | |
[04:26.617] | That faraway shore' s |
[04:28.366] | Farther every day |
[04:30.616] | We' re learning to ricochet |
[04:32.366] | We still have a lot to say |
[04:33.866] | |
[04:34.615] | You know what we' ll do? |
[04:35.866] | What? |
[04:36.616] | We' ll do a revue |
[04:37.615] | What? |
[04:38.365] | |
[04:38.616] | What? |
[04:39.115] | We' ll do a revue of our own |
[04:41.366] | What? Where? |
[04:41.866] | Why? When? |
[04:42.865] | |
[04:43.116] | Not just songs but stories, scenes |
[04:44.616] | Piano pieces, mime |
[04:46.115] | Yeah |
[04:46.867] | |
[04:47.366] | Frankly Frank |
[04:47.865] | A showcase of our own? |
[04:49.116] | Where? |
[04:49.615] | |
[04:49.615] | The club' s reopening |
[04:50.616] | We' ll write a lot of new stuff |
[04:51.616] | Rewrite the old stuff |
[04:52.366] | |
[04:52.615] | What about the girl? |
[04:53.116] | What about the girl? |
[04:53.865] | Only that we' re gonna need a girl |
[04:55.116] | Well, Mary |
[04:55.866] | |
[04:56.116] | Thanks, I don' t perform except at dinner |
[04:58.615] | |
[04:58.866] | Who wants to live in New York? |
[05:02.116] | Who wants the worry, the noise, the dirt, the heat? |
[05:05.116] | Who wants the garbage cans clanging in the street? |
[05:08.365] | |
[05:08.615] | Thank you, but we are looking for |
[05:10.116] | Someone with more experience |
[05:10.865] | |
[05:11.365] | They' re always popping their cork |
[05:14.115] | Up a tone |
[05:14.615] | The cops, the cabbies, the salesgirls up at Saks |
[05:16.866] | Up a tone |
[05:19.062] | You gotta have a real taste for maniacs |
[05:20.812] | Thank you, you' re hired |
[05:23.062] | |
[05:23.561] | I' m Beth |
[05:24.562] | I' m Frank |
[05:25.561] | I really thought I stank |
[05:27.061] | I' m Mary |
[05:27.561] | Charley |

[05:28.811] | I' m told we open Saturday |
[05:31.562] | What |
[05:32.061] | You' re not serious |
[05:32.561] | Nobody' s ready |
[05:33.311] | |
[05:33.561] | Apparently someone cancelled a booking |
[05:35.562] | The songs aren' t finsihed |
[05:36.561] | And what about costumes? |
[05:37.561] | And how do I learn all these numbers? |
[05:39.062] | I' ll bring you the copies of everything later this evening. |
[05:39.561] | |
[05:40.061] | Okay, but I' ll have to have all the music and |
[05:40.561] | Saturday I' ve got to sing at a wedding |
[05:40.811] | Oh God, is there dancing ' cause I' m not a dancer? |
[05:41.310] | Not to mention I still haven' t finished the |
[05:41.811] | Synanon song or the Kennedy number |
[05:42.312] | |
[05:42.562] | You don' t have to, we' ll segue the |
[05:43.062] | End of it into the dance we cut out |
[05:43.312] | And what' ll we do about getting publicity |
[05:43.811] | Run around town putting stickers on windows? |
[05:44.312] | |
[05:44.811] | And have we decided or not on the restaurant sketch? |
[05:45.311] | I need two or three days to replace it |
[05:45.812] | No, we' ll use it but not with the long introduction |
[05:46.811] | We' ll worry about it on Sunday |
[05:47.812] | |
[05:48.061] | We' re opening doors, singing, ' Here we are' |
[05:51.811] | We' re filling up days on a dime |
[05:55.312] | That faraway shore' s looking not too far |
[05:59.508] | We' re following every star |
[06:00.758] | There' s not enough time |
[06:04.008] | |
[06:04.508] | We' re banging on doors, shouting, ' Here again' |
[06:08.007] | We' re risking it all on a dime |
[06:11.759] | That faraway shore' s looking near again |
[06:15.508] | The only thing left is when |
[06:17.507] | We know we should count to ten |
[06:19.258] | We haven' t got time, we haven' t got time |
