-Mr. Leach?
-Hello.
:09:27
My name's Arnold Philbin.
:09:30
I scout talent for Swan.
He's interested in your stuff.
:09:34
-The Swan?
-That's right.
:09:36
-He said your song could be big.
-Really?
:09:39
I was right there.
:09:40
If he produced my music,
the world would listen.
:09:44
The game plan exactly,
but you need a lot of work, polishing.
:09:48
I know. I have a long way to go.
:09:51
-Do you have any tapes of your stuff?
-No, but it's all written down here.
:09:56
-Give us two or three good up numbers.
-Two or three?
:10:01
This cantata is 200 or 300 pages,
and I haven't finished yet.
:10:06
Forget the sonata.
We just want the songs.
:10:09
-lt's not just songs. It's much more.
-I don't get you.
:10:14
It's a whole series of songs
that tell a story of Faust.
:10:18
-Who? What label's he on?
-He was a legendary German magician.
:10:24
He sold his soul to the devil
for worldly power.
:10:27
What is this, kid? School time?
:10:30
A song is a song.
You either dig it, or you don't.
:10:34
Now, I like your stuff, kid.
It's terrific. And you know what?
:10:39
I think the Juicy Fruits will dig it.
:10:42
I'm not promising anything. First...
:10:45
I won't let my music be mutilated
by those greaseballs!
:10:49
-Only I can sing Faust!
-lt was just an idea.
:10:52
Swan makes all these decisions,
you know?
:10:57
I'm sorry. It's just that
I worked so hard on this thing.
