:48:00
Here.
:48:03
There you go.
:48:06
Thank you.
:48:07
We'd go straight to the top. I know.
:48:09
I don't know about no straight to the top.
:48:10
I'm just trying to get to a club downtown.
:48:12
We all are.
:48:13
Of course, you don't understand, see,
the way you get downtown is...

:48:16
I mean, you know, the way you do that
is that you go out on the road...

:48:19
and you build up your name
in the sticks, and then, blam!

:48:22
You get snapped up by network radio,
who're always looking...

:48:25
for someone big with the hicks
to sell them soap or something.

:48:29
Yeah, then you come back
to New York...

:48:31
and besides radio,
there's records, club dates downtown...

:48:33
- you name it, Billie.
- Just like that, huh?

:48:36
Well, it works that way sometimes.
:48:39
You mean to tell me that I have to travel
all the way to East Jesus and back...

:48:42
before I can get in some club downtown
less than five minutes away from here?

:48:46
- Well...
- They full of shit, ain't they?

:48:52
I just think it'd be fantastic
if you just came with us.

:48:58
- How about that?
- I'm sorry, fellows.

:49:00
I think your band
is gonna have to start without me.

:49:02
I think your band
is gonna have to start without me.

:49:03
I'll tell you what.
Piano Man's got my telephone number.

:49:06
If you give it some second thoughts,
give us a call.

:49:12
How you like my timestep, Reg?
:49:14
I think we might have a part for you,
Miss Holiday...

:49:16
but we'll have to see your legs.
:49:22
You know the last time
I saw fields and farm animals...

:49:26
I was hitching up north from Baltimore
to see my mama.

:49:28
Leader, I am trying to follow a rule
called "food three times a day"...

:49:32
but I sense we are dangerously behind.
:49:34
Let me explain to you.
:49:35
This is only Tuesday,
and I only feed on Friday.

:49:39
Stop complaining, Oklahoma.
:49:40
That's a horrible-looking thing.
:49:42
You mean we have all this fun,
and we still get paid?

:49:45
Well, about $12 a week,
to do with what you will.

:49:48
$14? Would you take $8?
:49:50
Fantastic. I'll take
whatever you give me.

:49:51
I get the chance to travel.
I get a chance to do everything.

:49:54
I sense we're in for a lot
of candy stores and a lot of jelly beans.

:49:57
Can you imagine
someone liking to tour?

:49:59
Yes, some fun, Billie.
