You edited it? You edited my movie without me?

You know, I could really use your help with the first number in Pippin.

I was thinking maybe you could come to the editing room for a few weeks, you know? And maybe you'd see some things that I don't see. I'm feeling a little lost right now.

It's a song about pain. Bobby, listen to the lyrics.
They're not gonna hear that. They're not gonna hear anything. They'll be too busy lookin' at you, and you'll be smiling so wide, you'll be dancing so magnificently. They'll think it's a musical, but you'll know, and I'll know. That's what we do, isn't it? We take what hurts and we turn it into a big gag, and we're singin' and we're dancin' and the audience, they're yukkin' it up. They're laughin' so hard they don't realize that what they're laughin' at is a person in agony. A person who's peeled off his own skin. I can make this work.

Gwen, if I didn't think the two of you were a perfect match, I would tell the guy to go take a hike, I promise you. There is a real sense of humor in his work, a real joy, but sophisticated like Chaplin. Like Verdon!
