Girl Meets Boy

That's a safe beginning
It's nearly closing
I thought you weren't going to show
So did I
Felt it might be kinder
What are you saying?
Come on Miss Schaefer you know
What?
Every time I see some young kid
Dreaming they'll produce some masterpiece
I just want to throw them on the next train home
Never thought you'd be so condescending
Sorry Miss Schaefer
I didn't come here to fight
Fighting's fine
I'm not giving up yet
It's just the terror
All those blank pages
So frighteningly white
Up all night
Searching for solutions
Buckets of coffee will see you over the line
Boy meets girl
Lots of complications
You've got sixty pages to make sure everything's fine
It doesn't have to be so mindless
You should write from your experience
Give us something really moving
Something true
Who wants true?
Who the hell wants moving?
'Moving' means starving
And 'true' means holes in your shoes
No you're wrong
They still make good pictures
Stick to your story
It's a good story
Okay Miss Schaefer
I give it to you
What do you mean?
What I said I've given up writing myself so you write it
Oh no-I'm not good enough to do it on my own
I thought we'd write it together
I can't I'm all-tied up
Okay well couldn't we work evenings?
I mean six o'clock in the morning
I'll come to your place
Look Betty it can't be done it's out
Listen
We can keep in touch through Artie
Just keep telling yourself it's only a movie
That won't work
I'm not disillusioned
Not the way you are
I'm starting out my career
Unlike you
I still have ambitions
I'm still determined
I hope I make myself clear
Never sell your soul for money
Never comrpomise integrity
Never give up something you were born to do
Very good
Nothing I can teach you
It could've been fun
Fighting the studio
Yes Mr. Gillis
That's why I need y
What a nightmare
Good to see you
Come to my New Year's party
Last year it got out of hand
Guaranteed bad behavior
See you then
Don't give up
You're too good
Thanks
