[start of Way Back Into Love Demo Version]

Way Back Into Love, take one.

I-uh-I'm getting really nervous.

You'll be fine, just use your normal, nice voice that I've heard... so much over the last three days.

It's like, ugh, my throat's closing up. It's, like, anaphylactic. [cough]

It's fine, it's just a three-minute song.

I think you are way too talented and gifted...and unusual to let anyone keep you from standing.

That's wonderfully sensitive... especially from a man who wears such tight pants.

It forces all the blood to my heart.

It doesn't have to be perfect. Just spit it out. They're just lyrics.

"Just lyrics"?

Lyrics are important. They're just not as important as melody.

I really don't think you get it.

Oh. You look angry. Click your pen.

A melody is like seeing someone for the first time. The physical attraction. Sex.

I so get that.

But then, as you get to know the person, that's the lyrics. Their story. Who they are underneath. It's the combination of the 2 that makes it magical.

Theoretically, I could pick you up because I will be taking a cab.

I could be standing outside at 9:40 in bright orange clothes, so you wouldn't miss me...

Oh, good, you'll get some road work done while you wait, then.

Lyricist
[upon hearing Sophie's version of "Way back into love"]

What's the next line? Feelings? Nothing more than feelings? You people disgust me.

[talking about Alex's solo album]

I bought it... the last copy.

Right, well, I insist on paying you back immediately. $9.99 right? Do you have a penny?

[while over-watering the same plant]

I mean we're so close. We're just not there yet. We have to stay focused and stay... you know completely understanding of what we're trying to say.

[walks over and takes the plant away from her]

Ok, you may now start killing the next one.

Well, you know, I feel a little guilty about something.

Rhonda Fisher
[Dry]

How unusual for you.

Okay, listen, I have to tell you this; I met that guy from that band you used to like, Alex Fletcher from 'Pop!'?

Rhonda Fisher
[Rhonda freezes, overcome, and begins hyperventilating]

Omigod!

[Not noticing, continuing to ramble]

Anyway, I do Jane's plant service, y'know, I'm taking over for her while she's gone, and anyway she does his apartment. And so I was there - actually, it was the second time - and he invited me to see him come perform tonight -

Rhonda Fisher

GARY I'M GOING OUT!!!

[Rhonda runs out, babbling excitedly] [Nonplussed]

... That really wasn't the end of the story, but...

[Alex and Sophie are trying out their song on the doorman.] [singing]

I've been sleeping with a clown above... [he continues, obviously derailed] my...bed... [in a normal speaking voice] "Clown" is not right. What is that word?

It's "cloud".

Well, write more clearly, how can you expect me to read-

Why would you put a clown in your bed?

Let me tell you, it would not be the first time.
