:02:01
You think so?
Sure.
:02:02
The only thing
that Simon & Garfunkel
or Bruce Springsteen
:02:04
or any of these guys have
that we don't have is an agent.
:02:07
You think so?
:02:08
'' Dangerous Business'' is as good
as '' Bridge Over Troubled Water''
any day of the week.
:02:11
You think so?
:02:12
l'm telling you, if we get an agent,
we get a record album.

Freed Talent Agency.
MAN: Mr. Freed,
:02:19
uh, this is Chuck Clark e
of Rogers & Clark e.
:02:21
Yeah?
:02:22
We're songwriters
and we're looking for an agent.
:02:24
Yeah.
:02:26
And we saw your ad in Variety.
We're gonna be at Song Mart
next Tuesday.
:02:29
And we've got a new song we think
is good enough for a record album.
:02:32
Uh-huh.
And we wondered
:02:33
if you'd have a chance to come down--
The Record Album?
:02:35
No, no, no, no.
At The Record Album?
:02:37
It's not called The Record Album.
It's called The Song Mart, sir.
:02:40
It's basically a try-out place
for new material.

ANNOUNCER: Okay, okay, okay,
that wraps up another audition night
at The Song Mart.
:03:24
A great bunch tonight.
Good luck, kids.
:03:27
Well, uh, what did you think,
Mr. Freed?
:03:30
As an agent?
Yeah.
:03:33
Let me tell you
what l told Tony Bennett.
:03:35
Sing songs people already know.
That way, if they don't like it, they'll
still have something to applaud.
:03:41
But we're not singers.
No, we're songwriters.
:03:44
So? The Beach Boys
weren't songwriters?
:03:47
Anthony Newley
isn't a songwriter?
:03:49
l mean, if you wanna sell songs
today, you gotta have an act
with jokes, patter, segues.
:03:53
Otherwise, frankly...
:03:56
you're old, you're white
and you got no shtick.
