Oh! That's very tunny!

You got a real

sense ot humor, kid,

Boy, I can't believe it,

Listen, I want to

ask you something,

You want to know what

interests me the most, Frances?

One is music,

number two is money,

and number three is,,,

I got it,

Uh-huh, Got it,

- What's the matter?

- I don't want it,

They always in that order?

Sure they're always

in that order, unless,,,

you happen to come across

someone who grooves you

and you want to groove with...

Say, you,

And it things work out,

and you start acting

a little more intelligent,

then possibly, then I'll make

number three number one,

number one

number three, and,,,

number two,,,

Now, wait,

Now, now, wait,

Now I'm getting contused,

You put it where, uh,,,

You put it where number three is,

That's the way it would be,

Let me start all over again,

Let me get this,,,

Number three

would be number one,

And number two and number three,

Exactly,

and when you have that,

you have what you call

a major chord,

What's a major chord?

A major chord is when everything

in your lite works out pertectly,

when you have everything

you could ever possibly want,

Everything,

You have the woman you want,

you have the music you want,

and you have enough money

to live comtortably,

That's a major chord,

Oh,

A 1, 2, 3, 4!

That's enough, Doyle,

Hold it,

Doyle!

What?

I got a hangover,

That's a little loud,

A little loud? What do you mean?

You didn't dig those sounds?

You didn't even let me tinish, man,

You didn't let me tinish the chorus,

Jimmy?

Uh,,, Jimmy, could I talk to you

just tor a minute?

I'll just be a sec...

Look, you know what's happening?

You're playing territic,

Yeah,

I think you should play it

just a little smoother,

like a ballad or something,

I think this guy's got

that kind ot attitude,

You know, the whole joint

screams that sort ot thing,,,

Well, that's all right,

Are you my agent?

Want 10%, huh?

Sit over there,

Sit over there,

I said when we came to sit over there,

Now sit over there,

Just rude, Rude,

See what you did?

Come here,

Come here, Come here,

Don't do that

in tront ot everybody,

We do this all the time,

Don't talk to me like that

and don't touch me,

I just want to say I'm sorry,

I just got annoyed at him, you know,

Sometimes I put my toot in my mouth,

- How about my toot in it?

- How about putting your horn in it?

- Well, that's what we're here tor,

- How about giving me a break?

Come here, Doyle,

I want to talk to you,

- Get a load ot this guy, huh?

- He wants you to come over there,

Come on! Come here, come here,

Go there, go there, go there,

Go ahead,

Yeah,

Try and understand

my situation, will ya?

What I got is a boy singer

and an eight-piece polka orchestra,

you understand?

Try Chevalier,

You know any Chevalier?

The guys come back trom France,

they like that sound,

Chevalier?

Yeah,

Hey, man, I play that stutt,

I kill people, you know?

This isn't 1917, You look

a little more hip to me than that,

I'd rather get a job in a post ottice,

In that case, Doyle,

let's torget it,

Yeah, let's torget it,

That's what I said,

- No, that's what I said,

- No, that's what I said,

- No, I said torget it,

- No, I said it, I forgot it,

It the nightingales

could sing like you

They'd sing much sweeter

than they do

'Cause you've brought

a new kind ot love to me

Play!

It the sandman

brought me dreams ot you

I'd want to dream

my whole lite through

'Cause you've brought

a new kind ot love to me

I know that I'm a queen

and you're a king

Still I understand

that undeneath it all

I'm a girl,

and you, you are a man

I would work and slave

my whole lite through

It I could hurry home to you

'Cause you've brought

a new kind ot love...

Can you dance?

Not you, her,

What's the matter, you crazy?

Let's see the legs!

The legs!

How I'd work, I'd slave

my whole lite through
