Faye

[the band's thinking of their name]

But I thought you already decided on The Echoes.

Jimmy

Nah, some band in Buffalo's the Echoes. And I wasn't wild about that.

Lenny

Let's just call us The - Band You're About To Hear.

Chad

How about The Corvettes?

Jimmy

Is that The Corvettes, or the Chordvettes?

Chad

No, Corvettes, like the car.

Jimmy

Well see, I was thinking like the Chord...[writes Chordvettes] Chordvettes, like chords in our music.

Lenny

[Guy walks in]

Is that "Skitch" Patterson?

Chad

Here he is, Erie's lone beatnik.

The Bass Player

How about the Tempos? Ya know, tempos?

Lenny

Not the Tempos, the Tempos. I was in a band already called The Tempos, and we were... terrible.

Chad

Hey Guy, weren't you the drummer for the Tempos?

Guy

Heard that.

Scott Pell

[after Jimmy bolts the studio and Lenny is nowhere to be found]

Well, I guess you don't need me today. [picks up guitar case and leaves]

Mr. White

Yeah. Wolfman, thank you very much. You're a good man, Scott Pell. Give me a call later on in the week. We'll do something. [Pell nods in agreement and leaves studio]

Guy

I can't believe this.

Mr. White

The Wonders are in breach of contract.

Guy

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, Mr. White.

Mr. White

Well, don't worry. No one's going to prison, son. It's a very common tale.

Guy

Well, maybe for you, but I was in a band, we still have a hit record.

Mr. White

Yes, you do. The one-hit Wonders. A very common tale.

Guy

My first time in a real recording studio.

Mr. White

You want to hang around for a while? Ok by me, but you're out of the hotel this afternoon. Can't help that. [approaches Guy] You know, Horace was right about you, Guy; you are the smart one. Lenny is the fool, Jimmy is the... talent, and Faye is... [sees Guy's face change at mention of her name] well, now, Faye is special, isn't she? And you are the smart one. That's what I think anyway. [leaves studio]

Lamarr The Doorman

[Knowing that Faye could be going back east and out of his life, Guy tries to go after her]

So, young squire?

Guy Patterson

[to Faye]

Before you go, let me ask you one question.

Faye Dolan

Shoot.

Guy

When was the last time you were decently kissed? I mean, truly, truly, good and kissed?

Faye
