Lyrics:
JOE Girl meets boy That's a safe beginning BETTY It's nearly closing I thought you weren't going to show JOE So did I I felt it might be kinder BETTY What are you saying? JOE Come on, Miss Schaefer, you know BETTY What? JOE Every time I see some young kid Dreaming they'll produce a masterpiece I just want to throw them on the next train home BETTY Never thought You'd be so condescending JOE Sorry, Miss Schaefer I didn't come here to fight BETTY 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 JOE It won't sell These days they want glamour Fabulous heiress meets handsome Hollywood heel The problem is She thinks he's a burglar Would you believe it? A wedding in the last reel BETTY It doesn't have to be so mindless You should write from your experience Give us something really moving; Something true JOE Who wants true? Who the hell wants moving? Moving means starving And true means holes in your shoe BETTY No, you're wrong They still make good pictures Stick to your story It's a good story JOE O.K., Miss Schaefer: I give it to you BETTY What do you mean? JOE Just what I said. I've given up writing myself. So you write it. BETTY Oh, I'm not good enough to do it on my own. But I thought we could write it together. JOE I can't. I'm all tied up. BETTY Couldn't we work evenings? Six o'clock in the morning? I'd come to your place. JOE Look, Betty, it can't be done. It's out. Let's keep in touch through Artie. That way if you get stuck, we can at least talk. Write this down I'll give you some ground rules Plenty of conflict But nice guys don't break the law Girl meets boy She gives herself completely And though she loves him JOE/BETTY She keeps one foot on the floor BETTY No one dies except the best friend No one ever mentions communists No one takes a black friend to a restaurant JOE Very good. Nothing I can teach you. We could have had fun Fighting the studio BETTY Yes, Mr. Gillis That's just what I want. ARTIE What a nightmare Good to see you Come to my new year's party JOE Last year it got out of hand ARTIE Guaranteed bad behaviour JOE See you then BETTY Don't give up You're too good JOE Thanks.
