| How about
|
| They don’t know each other
|
| He works the night shift
|
| And she takes classes all day?
|
| Here’s the thing
|
| They both share the same room
|
| Sleep in the same bed
|
| It works out cheaper that way
|
| I’ve a feeling you’re just kidding
|
| But to me it sounds believable
|
| Makes a better opening than that car chase scene
|
| Girl find boy, borrowing her toothbrush
|
| Or oversleeping
|
| Or at her sewing machine
|
| You know, it’s not bad, there are some real possibilities
|
| Who’s Norma?
|
| Who’s who?
|
| Sorry, I don’t usually read private cigarette cases
|
| Norma’s a friend of mine: middle-aged lady, very foolish, very generous
|
| I’ll say: this is solid gold. |
| «Mad about the boy»?
|
| So how’s Artie?
|
| Stuck in Tennessee. |
| It rains all the time — they’re weeks behind
|
| No one knows when they’ll be back
|
| Good
|
| What’s good about it? |
| I’m missing him something fierce
|
| No, I mean this idea we had. |
| It’s really pretty good
|
| (sung)
|
| Back to work
|
| What if he’s a teacher?
|
| Where does that get us?
|
| Don’t see what good it would do
|
| No, it’s great
|
| If they do the same job
|
| So much in common
|
| They fall in love, wouldn’t you?
|
| Yes, but if he’s just a teacher
|
| Then we lose those scenes in the factory
|
| Not if he’s a champion for the working man
|
| Girl likes boy, she respects his talent
|
| Working with someone can turn you into a fan
|
| This is fun, writing with a partner
|
| Yes, and it could be
|
| A helluva movie
|
| Can we really do this?
|
| I know that we can |
