| MARY (spoken) |
| I really drink |
| GUEST |
| What a friend — |
| GUEST |
| What a host — |
| GUEST |
| And his work is great! |
| GUEST |
| Has a wife who is gorgeous — |
| MEN |
| A son who’s straight |
| ALL |
| He’s the type you could easily learn to hate |
| That Frank! |
| FRANK |
| Who says, «Lonely at the top?» |
| I say, «Let it never stop!» |
| It’s our time coming through |
| All our dreams |
| Coming true. |
| Working hard, getting rich |
| Being happy — |
| There’s a switch! |
| GROUP I |
| That smile — |
| GUEST (spoken) |
| Don’t you miss writing music? |
| GROUP I |
| He’s hot but he’s cool |
| FRANK |
| That was the old Frank Shepard |
| GROUP II |
| What style — |
| GUEST (spoken) |
| This guy’s the American dream! |
| GUEST |
| And what a great pool! |
| GROUP I |
| If you had no idea what |
| Charisma meant — |
| GROUP II |
| And you just can’t be jealous, he’s such a gent — |
| ALL |
| He’s the kind of a man that |
| You can’t resent, that Frank! |
| GUEST |
| I said «Frank, you’re coming down to Mexico…» |
| GUEST |
| I think Frank is moving back to Paramount… |
| MARY (to the Audience) |
| These are the movers, these are the shapers |
| These are the people that fill the papers |
| GROUP I |
| … Mexico… |
| MARY |
| These are the friends of Frank |
| GROUP II |
| … moving back to Paramount… |
| MARY |
| Each one a perfect blank |
| ALL |
| When you see a movie that successful, What can you say? |
| (to Frank) Congratulations! |
| FRANK |
| Thank you! |
| MARY |
| These are the movers, these are the shapers |
| These are the people that give you vapors… |
| FRANK |
| Twenty years ago, who’d have guessed, who’d have guessed |
| We’d be standing here? |
| God, we would have been so impressed! |
| Now we’re here with the most — |
| GROUP I |
| … Mexico… |
| FRANK |
| — Brilliant minds on the coast |
| GROUP II |
| … Moving back to Paramount… |
| FRANK |
| And notice who is their host |
| GROUP I |

| GROUP II |
| Beautiful, Frank! |
| GROUP I |

| GROUP II |
| Beautiful, Frank! |
| ALL |
| When you’ve made a movie that successful, where do you go? |
| FRANK (spoken) |
| Uhhh — Paramount! |
| GUEST (spoken) |
| I heard a reliable rumor that you’re selling the Malibu house? |
| FRANK (spoken) |
| You don’t want it. |
| The place doesn’t even have a pool |
| MARY (spoken) |
| No pool!?! |
| In my rat’s hole in New York, the john is terminally busted and the kitchen |
| should be condemned |
| But no pool!?! |
| Trash it! |
| FRANK (spoken) |
| Let’s have some coffee, Mary |
| ALL |
| Poor Frank — |
| MARY (spoken) |
| I never drink coffee |
| ALL |
| He handled that well |
| MARY (spoken) |
| Caffeine isn’t good for you |
| GROUP II |
| That Frank — |
| FRANK (spoken) |
| I’m aware this is just a formula picture |
| GUEST |
| He’s loyal as hell |
| FRANK (spoken) |
| But my next movie. |
| You wait |
| MARY (spoken) |
| I gave up waiting |
| ALL |
| He’s polite and considerate, rain or shine — |
| MARY |
| It began when I tasted communion wine — |
| ALL |
| That Frank |
| FRANK (to Guests) |
| Who says, «Mustn't go too far»? |
| I say, «Look at where we are!» |
| It’s our time, coming through — |
| I say, «Good, me and you!» |
| I say, «Roll!» |
| I say, «Ride!» |
| I say, «Hey, there’s food inside!» |
| ALL |
| That Frank — |
| GUEST (spoken) |
| Your movie was fun! |
| ALL |
| You’d think he’d relax |
| GUEST (spoken) |
| It’s what the public wants… |
| ALL |
| Not Frank — |
| GUEST (spoken) |
| Frank understands commercial! |
| ALL |
| He’s laying new tracks |
| GUEST (spoken) |
| And Frank made a star! |
| ALL |
| If you had no idea what |
| Charisma meant — |
| And you just can’t be jealous |
| He’s such a gent — |
| He’s the kind of a man |
| Could be president |
| That Frank! |
