Girl meets boy That's a safe beginning It's nearly closing I thought you weren't going to show So did I Felt it might be kinder What are you saying? Come on, Miss Schaefer, you know Every time I see some young kid Dreaming they'll produce some masterpiece I just want to throw them on the next train home Never thought you'd be so condescending Sorry, Miss Schaefer I didn't come here to fight Girl meets boy If that's how you want it She's a young teacher He's a reporter It's hate at first sight It won't sell These days they want glamour Fabulous heiress meets handsome Hollywood hero Problem is she thinks he's a burglar Would you believe it? A wedding in the last reel It doesn't have to be so mindless You should write from your experience Give us something really moving Something true Who wants true? Who the hell wants moving? Moving means starving And true means holes in your shoe No, you're wrong They still make good pictures Stick to your story It's a good story Okay, Miss Schaefer I give it to you What do you mean? What'd I say? It's all yours I've given up writing myself So you write it I'm not good enough to write it on my own I thought we could write it together Well, I can't I'm all tied up Well, couldn't we work evenings? Six o'clock in the morning I'll come to you Look, Betty, it can't be done It's out Write this down I'll give you some ground rules Plenty of conflict But nice guys don't break the law Girl meets boy Gives herself completely And though she loves him She keeps one foot on the floor No one dies except the best friend No one ever mentions communists No one takes a black friend to a restaurant Very good Nothing I could teach you We could have had fun Fighting the studio Yes, Mr. Gillis That's just what I want What a nightmare Good to see you come to my New Year's party Last year it got out of hand Guaranteed bad behavior See you then Don't give up You're too good Thanks
