W Woolie
Poor Sawyer. I thought she'd be the one to make it. Such a dancer, with the voice of an angel.
I never would have guessed.
W Woolie
That's what this town does to you, my boy. It wears you down.
But I thought Hollywood was always looking for new talent.
W Woolie
Ah, ah, ah! Talented people, not animals. [sighs] You see, the spotlight will never be on fellows like you and me. And it's foolish to think otherwise, Danny. Danny?
Mmm. Yeah. [chuckles] Foolish. Unless... [plunks a few piano keys] ...we can remind them.
W Woolie
Hmmm. Uh, of what?
Why they came here in the first place.
We're all behind you, Danny. 100%. Don't let them go, Tillie!
[Tillie is holding T.W., Cranston, and Frances in her arms]
I got them!
Let go! Have you lost your mind?
Release me you mad hippo!
[Looking at his fortunes]
You will meet with disaster!
Would you just listen to me?
The end is near! The fat lady sung!
Look, if you're willing to accept what they can think of you, then you can go! [everyone gasps] I almost did.
Well, you should have! Life here for animals is the pits, always playing the scapegoat!
W Woolie
Quickly forgotten!
Working for scale! [...See what the movie did there?]
Then why are you still here?
C Crantson
Why?! [everyone pauses]
Because you can't forget the feeling, can you? The feeling you have when... [Refers to Cranson and Frances] when you two dance together. [Camera switches to Woolie] When you play. [Danny motions to Sawyer] When you sing. They cursed you, humiliated you, and even slam the door in your face. But they still haven't made you forget. Have they?
[searches through his fortune cookie papers]
They can smash your cookie, but... but you'll always have your fortune. [everyone grins] Huh.
Come on. Let's go show 'em what we can do.
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!
