Here's the snag... 195 00:11:33,025 --> 00:11:34,984 We also wanna put the song on her new CD... 196 00:11:35,152 --> 00:11:37,946 ...which is pretty much finished, so we need it by Friday. 197 00:11:38,114 --> 00:11:40,448 - This Friday? - Yeah, but don't feel any pressure. 198 00:11:40,616 --> 00:11:44,119 We've got seven other retro artists working on "Way Back Into Love"... 199 00:11:44,286 --> 00:11:46,454 ...so if you blow it, we're covered. 200 00:11:46,622 --> 00:11:49,791 Mr. Fletcher, don't look at this as a competition. 201 00:11:49,959 --> 00:11:52,752 If it's meant to be, it will be. 202 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,379 It's destiny. 203 00:11:54,547 --> 00:11:55,588 Yes. 204 00:11:55,756 --> 00:11:57,298 Or not. 205 00:12:02,555 --> 00:12:03,680 Okay. 206 00:12:03,848 --> 00:12:07,142 I can't possibly write a song by Friday. What could she be thinking of? 207 00:12:07,309 --> 00:12:09,477 All right. Look, look, can I be honest with you? 208 00:12:09,645 --> 00:12:11,771 You're my manager. I would have to fire you. 209 00:12:11,939 --> 00:12:13,523 We need this. 210 00:12:13,691 --> 00:12:16,901 Let's not be desperate. We have the state fairs, Knott's Berry Farm. 211 00:12:17,069 --> 00:12:18,069 They've canceled. 212 00:12:20,740 --> 00:12:22,407 Knott's Berry canceled? 213 00:12:23,325 --> 00:12:26,286 Look. We're still on for the Indiana State Fair, okay? 214 00:12:26,454 --> 00:12:29,289 But Texas and Arkansas dropped us. 215 00:12:29,457 --> 00:12:32,167 - The Apple Picking? - The Apple Picking Festival is a go... 216 00:12:32,334 --> 00:12:36,004 ...but Great Adventure only wants three nights instead of 10. All right? 217 00:12:36,172 --> 00:12:39,174 My God. I had no idea. Why didn't you tell me these things? Why...? 218 00:12:39,341 --> 00:12:41,217 I'm telling... I'm telling you now. 219 00:12:41,385 --> 00:12:44,304 Alex, it's been 15 years since PoP. 220 00:12:44,472 --> 00:12:47,182 There's new old acts coming up all the time. 221 00:12:47,349 --> 00:12:51,186 Tears for Fears is going on tour. There's talk of a Spice Girl reunion. 222 00:12:51,353 --> 00:12:53,188 - That's not my audience. - Ricky Martin. 223 00:12:53,355 --> 00:12:55,982 I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm finished. I'm finished. 224 00:12:56,150 --> 00:12:58,902 - No, you're not dead. - I'm gonna wind up doing bar mitzvahs. 225 00:12:59,069 --> 00:13:02,906 No, you're not. Thirteen-year-old kids have no idea who you are. 226 00:13:03,073 --> 00:13:04,282 Well, that's good to know. 227 00:13:04,450 --> 00:13:07,494 What about you? You might actually have to take on another client. 228 00:13:07,661 --> 00:13:11,706 Look, don't worry about me. What we gotta concentrate on is refreshing your image. 229 00:13:11,874 --> 00:13:15,210 Then we'll get Knott's Berry and Great Adventure. Who knows? 230 00:13:15,377 --> 00:13:18,713 - We might even get Disneyland. - Don't tease me. I'm very vulnerable. 231 00:13:18,881 --> 00:13:21,216 Tell you something, Alex. You do a song for Cora... 232 00:13:21,383 --> 00:13:24,469 ...and there is a spot for you in the Magic Kingdom, baby. 233 00:13:24,637 --> 00:13:27,931 Writing a song. I thought I was done with that whole nightmare. 234 00:13:28,098 --> 00:13:30,642 Just one song. That's all we need. One song. 235 00:13:31,101 --> 00:13:32,852 But it's so... 236 00:13:33,896 --> 00:13:35,396 ...time-consuming, you know? 237 00:13:37,566 --> 00:13:39,526 And I haven't written for 10 years. 238 00:13:39,693 --> 00:13:43,112 And I need a lyricist. And it's never worked with anyone except Colin. 239 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,199 Look, I know it's not easy to get somebody good this fast... 240 00:13:46,367 --> 00:13:49,410 ...but there is this guy. Supposedly he's very hip, very edgy. 241 00:13:49,578 --> 00:13:51,746 He just worked with Avril. 242 00:13:57,127 --> 00:13:59,754 I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm just a bit blocked here. 243 00:13:59,922 --> 00:14:02,257 If you don't like the lyrics, be straight with me. 244 00:14:02,758 --> 00:14:05,301 No, no, no, no. The lyrics are very, very powerful. 245 00:14:05,719 --> 00:14:09,347 Maybe you want something more commercial? More PoP-y? 246 00:14:10,140 --> 00:14:12,892 Just hold that thinly veiled insult for one second. 247 00:14:18,566 --> 00:14:20,108 - Hello. - Hey. 248 00:14:20,276 --> 00:14:23,653 - Khan said I could just come up? - They were able to save the whole hand. 249 00:14:23,821 --> 00:14:26,906 I know. I made too big a deal out of it. 250 00:14:27,074 --> 00:14:30,326 It's just that I hate infections. But then again, who likes them? 251 00:14:30,494 --> 00:14:33,872 - Maybe the people who make penicillin. - There's two sides to every story. 252 00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:37,834 True. Except for the Nazis. I can't really see the other side of that argument. 253 00:14:38,002 --> 00:14:39,294 Excuse me? 254 00:14:39,461 --> 00:14:42,422 I'm sorry. I didn't even see you there. Hi.

And I can see that I already have. 257 00:14:52,057 --> 00:14:55,727 So I'm off to the kitchen. Don't tell me. 258 00:14:55,895 --> 00:14:57,437 She's kind of hot. 259 00:14:57,605 --> 00:15:00,148 Good. Yeah.

You're missing the point. 272 00:15:36,018 --> 00:15:40,063 From the first line. "Give it up, I'm a bad hot witch" is okay. 273 00:15:40,230 --> 00:15:41,522 But then it should be... 274 00:15:41,690 --> 00:15:45,777 But with some magic, I just might switch 275 00:15:51,241 --> 00:15:52,742 Sorry.

She hates it. 1193 01:13:17,559 --> 01:13:20,770 But she wrote the song. Why does she hate it? 1194 01:13:20,938 --> 01:13:23,356 We had a little disagreement. 1195 01:13:23,524 --> 01:13:25,149 Hi there, Soph, how are you? 1196 01:13:25,317 --> 01:13:27,527 - Hey, Sophie. - Good evening. 1197 01:13:27,694 --> 01:13:30,530 So you brought something, did you, Sophie? 1198 01:13:30,697 --> 01:13:33,491 Yes.

Derek. 1205 01:13:53,595 --> 01:13:55,346 Cora, I really wanted to talk to you... 1206 01:13:55,514 --> 01:13:58,015 About the fact that we're gonna have to leave early... 1207 01:13:58,183 --> 01:14:00,852 ...to finish this song which has become important to us... 1208 01:14:01,019 --> 01:14:03,020 ...in both an artistic and spiritual sense. 1209 01:14:03,188 --> 01:14:05,398 You can't leave yet. Come see the house. 1210 01:14:05,566 --> 01:14:08,693 I wanna show you the roof. It's upstairs. 1211 01:14:08,861 --> 01:14:11,070 Do you know...? Well... 1212 01:14:13,824 --> 01:14:18,244 Cora, I definitely see how much you've thought about the song and... 1213 01:14:18,412 --> 01:14:21,747 Great roof. In a very interesting place as well, right at the top... 1214 01:14:21,915 --> 01:14:25,376 - Sophie was about to say something. - Was she? I don't think she was. No. 1215 01:14:25,544 --> 01:14:28,588 She looks like she's about to say something, then just... clams up. 1216 01:14:28,755 --> 01:14:33,176 What I wanted to say is that I appreciate that you're bringing thought to the music... 1217 01:14:33,343 --> 01:14:37,180 ...but I really and honestly feel that we're pandering. 1218 01:14:39,558 --> 01:14:43,269 Which means trying to make others like you, which I think is a really nice thing. 1219 01:14:43,437 --> 01:14:46,147 I do a lot of it. "Just going out pandering, be back soon." 1220 01:14:46,315 --> 01:14:50,735 The song is about the struggle, you know, to show your true feelings. 1221 01:14:50,903 --> 01:14:53,821 And your very confident sexual display... 1222 01:14:53,989 --> 01:14:57,992 ...is, you know, a total contradiction of the fear and insecurity. 1223 01:14:58,160 --> 01:15:01,329 No, I don't think so. And my fans really love it when I dance. 1224 01:15:01,497 --> 01:15:03,789 - You're a wonderful dancer. - That's a fair point. 1225 01:15:03,957 --> 01:15:07,335 - My last CD only went to number two. - But in this case, if you trust us... 1226 01:15:07,503 --> 01:15:11,130 And Shakira is breathing down my neck. So I wanna dance. 1227 01:15:13,175 --> 01:15:15,426 You shall dance. 1228 01:15:16,094 --> 01:15:20,389 But thank you for your honesty, Sophie. I cherish your passion. 1229 01:15:20,557 --> 01:15:24,435 - Well, thank you. - Cora, Timberlake's here. Wants to say hi. 1230 01:15:24,686 --> 01:15:26,479 Nice to see you, C. Talk to you later. 1231 01:15:26,647 --> 01:15:28,940 And I'm looking forward to the new last verse. 1232 01:15:29,107 --> 01:15:30,274 - Cora, wait. - It's over. 1233 01:15:30,442 --> 01:15:33,069 It was a very nice try, but you have hit the karmic wall. 1234 01:15:33,237 --> 01:15:37,281 With no help from you. You just stood there. Talk about pandering. 1235 01:15:37,449 --> 01:15:40,117 I did not pander. I just told her what she wanted to hear. 1236 01:15:40,285 --> 01:15:42,703 - I'm gonna go tell her the truth. - You just did. 1237 01:15:42,871 --> 01:15:45,456 Are you gonna use flash cards this time? You're stubborn. 1238 01:15:45,624 --> 01:15:48,626 And you're not stubborn enough to stand up for what's good. 1239 01:15:48,794 --> 01:15:52,004 I mean, I just don't wanna see you do what you did on your solo album. 1240 01:15:52,172 --> 01:15:53,506 Yes, yes, yes. 1241 01:15:54,967 --> 01:15:57,468 I bought it. The last copy. 1242 01:15:58,345 --> 01:16:00,972 All right, well, I insist on paying you back immediately. 1243 01:16:01,139 --> 01:16:02,557 9.99, right? Do you have a penny? 1244 01:16:02,724 --> 01:16:05,393 You were trying so hard to get a hit that it wasn't you. 1245 01:16:05,561 --> 01:16:07,645 The songs were soulless. 1246 01:16:07,813 --> 01:16:10,481 I agree. But ours has soul, so... 1247 01:16:10,649 --> 01:16:13,985 But not if we ruin it. And you know that.
