:16:01
What you wrote here, being in love
with someone you can't have,
:16:04
and you let 'em go
and have their own life... beautiful.
:16:07
It's something that
happened to me before.
:16:09
I know how personal it must be.
I don't want to invade your privacy.
:16:13
- I just want to do the song righteous.
- [Laughing]
:16:16
Uh, geez. I don't need
to hear any more, Joel.
:16:20
Listen, the song
is yours, guys.
:16:22
It's never happened
to me anyway.
:16:24
I just made it up to pass
the night away, you know.
:16:27
- Denise, we need a B-side.
What else you got?
- B-side?
:16:30
Well, you know, I sort of write
for girls like myself.
:16:34
- [Joel] We need somethin' upbeat.
- Upbeat?
:16:36
Up-tempo? Okay.
Something... Hmm.
:16:38
Something new for me, but okay.
Let's see what I can do.
:16:43
- You get the same percentage as me.
- Okay.
:16:45
But this is only until I can
record my own stuff, right?
:16:48
- When I make my own record...
- Absolutely, when the time is right.
:16:50
Read it
before you sign it.
:16:52
Toots, my new
receptionist, Judy.
:16:54
- Hi.
- Hello.
:16:56
Now I want you to worry about
writing the songs.
:16:58
I want personal ones
like "In Another World."
:17:01
Now I am worried. What if I can't
just think up another one like that?
:17:05
Keep your eyes and ears open.
Everyone is in pain.
:17:07
Come on. I want
to show you your office.
:17:13
You got a piano,
nice frosted glass, window, view.
:17:17
Huh? You got a roof.
:17:19
You put a plant here,
it's like you're in the country.
:17:21
Okay, look at this. You could
pace back and forth if you're a pacer.
:17:24
Hey, Monte!
How ya doin'?
:17:27
You hear the sound?
You can hear airplanes, everything.
:17:29
Good vocal sound.
You're frustrated? You schmuck!
:17:33
- You don't like it?
- No, I like it.
:17:35
- You don't like it.
- I like it. It's...
:17:38
Well, I write songs
in the bedroom...
:17:40
or in the bathtub
or on the fire escape.
:17:43
That won't do, Denise.
You're a professional now.
:17:45
I'm gonna let you in
on a secret.
:17:47
This is where all the hits
are gonna be made from now on.
:17:50
Right here. One scene,
all happening under one roof.
:17:53
If you have your artists,
your songwriters, lead sheets office,
:17:56
recording studio, studio musicians,
all in the same building,
:17:59
you can have
a new hit record every week.
