I'M FIRING YOU AS MY PRODUCER,

AND I'M GOING WITH EVAN, OKAY?

UM...

OKAY.

OKAY.

I JUST THOUGH THAT YOU WANTED

TO BE A REAL SINGER.

I DIDN'T THINK THIS WAS

JUST A VANITY PROJECT.

JUST STOP. STOP.

TO PUSH YOU!

YOUR MIND GAMES ARE NOT GOING

TO WORK WITH ME, OKAY?

I'M LEAVING YOU,

AND EVAN IS PRODUCING MY ALBUM.

WHOSE ALBUM?

I OWN THAT ALBUM,

AND I WILL ERASE

EVERY TRACK:

BEFORE I ALLOW YOU

TO HAND IT OVER:

TO EVAN CARLTON:

OR ANYONE ELSE.

I SWEAR, IF YOU DO THAT...

YOU'LL BE SORRY.

OH, I'M TREMBLING.

DO YOU MIND?

YEAH.
