Begin Again Page #8

It's like the Jackson Five.

- There you go.

- The Mulligan Three.

- You coming in?

- No. I'm gonna go...

I'm gonna go play that for Saul,

see if we can get a deal.

Good luck.

Let me know how it goes.

I love you.

I know you do.

Hey.

Come on.

Yeah. So pretty.

Bye.

Thanks for coming in, guys.

This is fantastic.

You got a great record.

And... I missed it on the first listen,

but I don't want to miss it again.

We're very glad that

you like it. So...

Well, I reached out to some

of my studio connects in LA,

and I was thinking

we can get the first track

placed in a... in a film,

the right film.

There's also pilot season right now.

Yeah, we're not interested

in any of that stuff.

OK, so then... what are you

interested in? What are we doing here?

Well, I think Dan needs his job back.

Yeah, sure. What?

Take my office. I don't care.

OK, all right, so how, I mean...

I guess I want to know-

how does this work?

We put the album out,

we sell it for...?

Let's say an album

costs ten dollars a unit.

The artist gets a dollar.

Same in publishing-

it's a buck for a book.

I think I'm just thinking

for this specifically-

to get my head around it-

Um, I mean, the album,

it doesn't have any overhead,

- because... we did it.

- Yeah.

And then distribution,

I mean, it's not gonna go in stores,

it's gonna go online, and publicity

would be, what, word of mouth?

So I think what I'm wondering is...

why do you get nine out

of ten of my dollars?

Gretta, you're

a very smart young woman,

and, uh, you're a determined artist,

and you have a... you have

a wonderful project here.

And with the right team behind you

to push you and guide you

in the right direction and maybe hire

a producer to remix a couple tracks,

you could have a hit record

and a very long career,

but, you know, ultimately, that's...

that's up to you.

Ah, you had them.

You wound him up.

I know. It's amazing when

you're not actually that interested,

you always win the hand.

Yeah, that's never really

worked out that well for me.

- I mean, I found it worked very well.

- Yeah.

You're gonna get a deal.

That a**hole is gonna

give you a deal, babe.

You might have to

compromise a little bit, but...

- Never.

- Of course.

Hey, we should do a bunch of these.

- What do you mean?

- Could do, like, the, uh...

"The European Series."

- I like that.

- Paris Tapes." "Prague Sessions."

"The Berlin... Recordings."

- Yes.

- Go all over Europe by rail.

We could take the whole gang.

You know?

Rachel, Malcolm, Steve.

- So...

- So...

Look, I guess

I'll see you in a while.

Thank you.

{Sting ends]

Thank you so much.

Oh, man.

Thank you.

- Guitar change. All right.

- All right!

Uh, so this next song

was actually given to me

by an amazing songwriter

and an even more amazing woman.

Uh, yeah. So ifs a very special song...

we're gonna do her arrangement of it.

So... If she's here,

I'm not sure that she is...

uh, I'd love her to come up

and join us on this one.

There's a guitar right there, so...

you know, if you're here, please...

please join us. It's a really

special song to me, so...

See your vision of this song through.

. HEY-

. Hey-

- Where are you going?

- Uh... home.

- What's on your mind?

- OK, um...

I don't want your label

to release my album.

Fine.

- Fine? Really?

- Well...

No, because I thought

that you'd be really upset.

No. It's your album.

So, what do you want

to do with it, then?

- There it is.

- Yeah.

That's the whole album for a dollar.

A buck for a book.

The whole thing.

Now, once this goes out, that's it.

- They're gone.

- Yeah.

- Are you sure you want to do this?

- Yeah.

- How about two bucks?

- You're such a capitalist.

No, a buck is fair, and then, you know,

we'll split it evenly between everyone

and Malcolm and Rachel-

everyone. Come on.

Once I press this, that's it.

I'm going to war with my whole business.

Mm...

Oh...!

That's so exciting.

- OK...

- What are you doing?

Calling reinforcements.

- Whoa.

- What?

Check it out. I got Trouble-gum

to tweet out the album.

How many followers

does he have?

Apparently the entire world.

Just about every living

human being follows him.

Mr. Mulligan.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

News for you on the lnterwebs.

- Sh*t.

- You didn't know nothing about this?

- No. How many did she sell?

- No?

10,000. Today.

- Troublegum tweeted about it.

- Man, if Troublegum helped her out,

it's because he liked her, all right?

They're artists.

They're great...

- You didn't know nothing about this?

- Nothing. It's kind of funny, though.

- Is it really?

- It's pretty funny, man.

Boo-boo, you know how to pick 'em, boy.

Ifs kind of good.

It's good.

- It is. it's kind of epic.

- Yeah.

Clean out your locker.

See you later.
