ฟังเพลงGirl Meet Boy

JOE:

Girl meets boy

That's a safe beginning

BETTY:

It's nearly closing

I thought you weren't going to show

JOE:

So did I

I felt it might be kinder

BETTY:

What are you saying?

JOE:

Come on, Miss Schaefer, you know

BETTY:

What?

JOE:

Every time I see some young kid

Dreaming they'll produce a masterpiece

I just want to throw them on the next train home

BETTY:

Never thought

You'd be so condescending

JOE:

Sorry, Miss Schaefer

I didn't come here to fight

BETTY:

Girl meets boy

If that's how you want it

She's a young teacher

He's a reporter

It's hate at first sight

JOE:

It won't sell

These days they want glamour

Fabulous heiress meets handsome Hollywood heel

The problem is

She thinks he's a burglar

Would you believe it?

A wedding in the last reel

BETTY:

It doesn't have to be so mindless

You should write from your experience

Give us something really moving;

Something true

JOE:

Who wants true?

Who the hell wants moving?

Moving means starving

And true means holes in your shoe

BETTY:

No, you're wrong

They still make good pictures

Stick to your story

It's a good story

JOE:

O.K., Miss Schaefer

I give it to you

BETTY:

What do you mean?

JOE:

Just what I said. I've given up writing myself. So you write it.

BETTY:

Oh, I'm not good enough to do it on my own.

But I thought we could write it together.

JOE:

I can't. I'm all tied up.

BETTY:

Couldn't we work evenings? Six o'clock in the morning?

I'd come to your place.

JOE:

Look, Betty, it can't be done. It's out.

Look, let's keep in touch through Artie.

That way if you get stuck, we can at least talk.

Write this down

I'll give you some ground rules

Plenty of conflict

But nice guys don't break the law

Girl meets boy

She gives herself completely

And though she loves him

JOE & BETTY:

She keeps one foot on the floor

BETTY:

No one dies except the best friend

No one ever mentions communists

No one takes a black friend to a restaurant

JOE:

Very good.

Nothing I can teach you.

We could have had fun

Fighting the studio

BETTY:

Yes, Mr. Gillis

That's just what I want.

ARTIE:

What a nightmare

Good to see you

Come to my new year's party

JOE:

Last year it got out of hand

ARTIE:

Guaranteed bad behaviour

JOE:

See you then

BETTY:

Don't give up

You're too good

JOE:

Thanks.
