Grace Hodgett Young - Betty's Pitch Lyrics





[BETTY]
I read one of your stories
Wasn't it Scribbner's? Some magazine
Titled something with windows

[JOE]
It was "Dark Windows", if that's what you mean

[BETTY]
That's right, I really liked it

[JOE]
I'm all warm and runny inside

[BETTY]
Let me pitch it to Sheldrake

[JOE]
I may be broke, but I still have my pride

[BETTY]
Come on, get off your high horse
Writers with pride don't live in LA
Silence, exile, and cunning
Those are the only cards you can play

[JOE]
Sheldrake won't buy the story
He likes trashy stereotypes
Jesus, think of the effort
Trying to get him to heighten his sight

[BETTY]
Every movie's a circus
Can't we discuss this? Schwab's Thursday night?

[JOE]
What for? Nothing will happen
I have to go now, fight the good fight

[BETTY]
What's the rush?

[JOE]
See those palookas?

[BETTY]
Yes, what about them?

[JOE]
Do me a terrific favor
Keep them amused while I escape

[BETTY]
If you're at Schwab's on Thursday

[JOE, spoken]
Done
Those guys were after my car
If I lose out in this town, it's like having my legs cut off

[BETTY, spoken]
Let's duck into the soundstage

[REPO MAN 1]
Come on, Gillis, give us the keys

[REPO MAN 2]
Or I'll reshape your face

[BETTY, spoken]
Please be quiet, Mr. DeMille is shooting over there

[REPO MAN 1]
So what?

[BETTY, spoken]
They're doing a red hot scene, you wanna stay and watch?

[REPO MAN 1]
No

[REPO MAN 2]
I think we have five minutes
