[applause]
2
00:00:56,458 --> 00:00:59,291
Hi. I'm Jon.
3
00:01:01,125 --> 00:01:03,166
I'm a musical-theater writer.
4
00:01:03,250 --> 00:01:05,583
One of the last of my species.
5
00:01:05,666 --> 00:01:06,958
[laughter]
6
00:01:07,041 --> 00:01:10,916
Sorry. So… so, you know, lately,
I've been hearing this sound.
7
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,291
[slow ticking]
8
00:01:12,375 --> 00:01:16,375
Everywhere I go,
like a tick, tick, tick…
9
00:01:16,458 --> 00:01:22,041
Like a time bomb in some cheesy B-movie
or Saturday morning cartoon.
10
00:01:22,125 --> 00:01:25,875
The fuse has been lit.
The clock counts down the seconds
11
00:01:25,958 --> 00:01:30,625
as the flame gets closer,
and closer, and closer,
12
00:01:30,708 --> 00:01:33,791
until… all at once…
13
00:01:33,875 --> 00:01:35,666

[woman] This is Jonathan Larson's story.
18
00:01:48,416 --> 00:01:50,833
Happy anniversary, I love you so much.
19
00:01:51,708 --> 00:01:53,666
[woman] Before the Tony Awards.
20
00:01:54,458 --> 00:01:56,708
Before the Pulitzer Prize.
21
00:01:57,250 --> 00:01:58,250
Before…
22
00:01:58,333 --> 00:02:01,083
We dedicate this opening night
and every performance
23
00:02:01,166 --> 00:02:03,250
to our friend, Jonathan Larson.
24
00:02:03,333 --> 00:02:05,333
-[cheers]
-[woman] …we lost him.
25
00:02:07,125 --> 00:02:07,958
[both scream]
26
00:02:08,041 --> 00:02:11,000
[woman] Everything
you're about to see is true.
27
00:02:12,208 --> 00:02:14,583
Except for the parts Jonathan made up.
28
00:02:20,333 --> 00:02:23,333
[jovial tune playing]
29
00:02:23,416 --> 00:02:27,250
The date is January 26th, 1990.
30
00:02:27,333 --> 00:02:31,916
The setting, the barren,
unfashionable no-man's-land
31
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,000
between SoHo and Greenwich Village.
32
00:02:35,083 --> 00:02:38,958
I have two keyboards,
a Macintosh computer.
33
00:02:39,041 --> 00:02:40,791
-A cat.
-[meows]
34
00:02:40,875 --> 00:02:43,666
An impressive collection of compact discs,
35
00:02:43,750 --> 00:02:46,541
cassettes, and records
of other people's music.
36
00:02:46,625 --> 00:02:51,958
Bookshelves sagging under the weight
of plays and novels I didn't write.
37
00:02:52,041 --> 00:02:55,750
I have an original,
dystopian rock musical…
38
00:02:55,833 --> 00:02:56,916
[tune stops]
39
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,416
…that I have spent the last eight years
of my life writing…
40
00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:01,541
[deep breathing]
41
00:03:01,625 --> 00:03:04,833
-…and rewriting, and rewriting.
-[laughter]
42
00:03:04,916 --> 00:03:06,666
[moans]
43
00:03:07,208 --> 00:03:11,000
I have rejection letters
from every major and minor producer,
44
00:03:11,083 --> 00:03:14,583
theater company, record label,
and film studio in existence.
45
00:03:14,666 --> 00:03:16,333
And in just over a week…
46
00:03:19,291 --> 00:03:21,291
I will be 30 years old.
47
00:03:22,833 --> 00:03:26,166
Older than Stephen Sondheim
when he had his first Broadway show.
48
00:03:26,250 --> 00:03:30,916
Older than Paul McCartney when
he wrote his last song with John Lennon.
49
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,916
By the time my parents were 30,
they already had two kids,
50
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,250
they had careers
51
00:03:36,333 --> 00:03:38,708
with steady paychecks, a mortgage.
52
00:03:38,791 --> 00:03:43,541
And in eight days,
my youth will be over forever.
53
00:03:43,625 --> 00:03:46,041
And what exactly do I have
to show for myself?
54
00:03:47,166 --> 00:03:48,291
[sighs]
55
00:03:48,875 --> 00:03:50,708

-Somebody needs to take out this trash.
85
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,125
So I hear you're moving
out of Jon's place.
86
00:05:39,208 --> 00:05:41,083
That's the end of an era.
87
00:05:41,166 --> 00:05:44,583
We hear him sobbing in the fridge
most mornings. It's very sad.
88
00:05:44,666 --> 00:05:47,041
[Jon] No, no, no.
We are not talking about that.
89

Wait, Carolyn,
you're coming next Friday, right?
90
00:05:49,458 --> 00:05:50,583
What's happening Friday?
91
00:05:50,666 --> 00:05:53,583
-[both] The Superbia workshop.
-Surprised he hasn't mentioned it.
92
00:05:53,666 --> 00:05:54,916
That sounds vaguely familiar.
93
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,083
Guys, this is the biggest break
I've ever had. This is that moment.
94
00:05:58,166 --> 00:06:01,875
It's the first time people are gonna
see the show that aren't just us.

too much pressure on it.

-[all chuckling]
-[Jon] But it's true, though.
97
00:06:06,583 --> 00:06:11,083
It's like, you get to a certain age and
you stop being a writer who waits tables
98
00:06:11,166 --> 00:06:13,875
and you become a waiter with a hobby.
99
00:06:13,958 --> 00:06:16,083
Boo-Boo, you need to ask yourself,
in this moment,
100
00:06:16,166 --> 00:06:19,166

I gave… I gave my notice.

-That's exactly the same thing.
-No, I have two weeks left.

You know, Rosa's got another client.
Craig Carnelia.

This is Rosa your agent,

Yeah, yeah. That's the one.

00:07:48,166 --> 00:07:52,291
So she invited the entire theater industry

And by intermission, some producer
135

had already written him
a check for ten thousand dollars.

you didn't have to think like that.

175
00:10:02,375 --> 00:10:03,500
Friday night.
176
00:10:03,583 --> 00:10:05,291
-[machine beeps]
-Hi, Jonathan, it's Deborah.
177
00:10:05,375 --> 00:10:07,625
Susan dropped off your music
for tonight's dance--
178
00:10:07,708 --> 00:10:10,166
-[tape rewinds]
-…but I can't get the speakers to work.
179
00:10:10,250 --> 00:10:11,666
[door opens]
180
00:10:12,666 --> 00:10:15,041
-Hey, Pookie.
-Hi.
181
00:10:15,125 --> 00:10:16,208
How was Philly?
182
00:10:16,291 --> 00:10:18,125
I went from the airport
to a conference room
183
00:10:18,208 --> 00:10:20,250
and then back to the airport
three hours later.
184
00:10:21,291 --> 00:10:22,500
-Sounds amazing.
-Mm.
185
00:10:22,583 --> 00:10:24,958
[Jon] Michael was an amazing actor.
186
00:10:25,875 --> 00:10:29,375
Yeah, he was the lead of every play
in high school, college.
187
00:10:29,458 --> 00:10:32,208
And then we moved to New York.
188
00:10:32,291 --> 00:10:35,000
I am sick of waking up at 5:00
189
00:10:35,083 --> 00:10:38,416
to get in line outside
the Equity Building and wait all day,
190
00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:41,208
praying that the director
actually even agrees
191
00:10:41,291 --> 00:10:43,500
to see anyone that's non-union, and then,
192
00:10:43,583 --> 00:10:46,166
when I finally do get in the room, I sing…
193
00:10:46,250 --> 00:10:49,291
I don't know, six measures,
if I'm lucky, before they cut me off
194
00:10:49,375 --> 00:10:50,708
and call me the wrong name--
195
00:10:50,791 --> 00:10:52,541
Juan, Pedro, Carlos… lo que sea.
196
00:10:52,625 --> 00:10:57,125
And then a week later, he got a job
at a fancy advertising company,
197
00:10:57,208 --> 00:11:00,333
making high five figures. [exhales]
198
00:11:00,416 --> 00:11:01,958
Healthcare, dental…
199
00:11:03,041 --> 00:11:04,375
He never looked back.
200
00:11:04,458 --> 00:11:06,250
You know, for someone who's broke,
201
00:11:06,333 --> 00:11:09,458
you could probably spend
a little bit less on party planning.
202
00:11:09,541 --> 00:11:11,833
[Jon] Well, what is the point of money,
203
00:11:11,916 --> 00:11:14,125
if you're not gonna spend it
on the people you love?
204
00:11:14,208 --> 00:11:16,666
-Yeah, except you don't have any money.
-Oh, right.
205
00:11:16,750 --> 00:11:18,875
This has been sitting here for a week.
206
00:11:18,958 --> 00:11:22,166
-I'm on it.
-Mm-hm. Yeah. You seem very on it.
207
00:11:22,250 --> 00:11:25,458
Pretty soon you won't have me around
to remind you to pay your bills on time.
208
00:11:25,541 --> 00:11:27,583
How will I ever survive?
209
00:11:27,666 --> 00:11:30,250
That's a very real question.
Have you found a new roommate yet?
210
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,416
I've been a little busy. You know.
My workshop is next week.
211
00:11:34,500 --> 00:11:35,750
Wait, what workshop?
212
00:11:38,208 --> 00:11:39,791
[snickering]
213
00:11:39,875 --> 00:11:41,041
That was funny.
214
00:11:45,958 --> 00:11:47,708
[Michael] What time's the show tonight?
215
00:11:49,708 --> 00:11:50,833
Uh…
216
00:11:51,333 --> 00:11:53,083
-Curtain's at 8:00.
-[Michael] Mm…
217
00:11:53,666 --> 00:11:57,625
I've heard the dancing's amazing,
but the music sucks.
218
00:11:57,708 --> 00:12:00,166
[piano playing chords]
219
00:12:13,958 --> 00:12:16,208
[Jon] Susan grew up
in a small town in the Midwest.
220
00:12:16,291 --> 00:12:18,291
She went to college to study biology,
221
00:12:18,375 --> 00:12:20,500
she thought she'd become
a doctor, maybe teach.
222
00:12:20,583 --> 00:12:23,166
-But then she fell in love…
-[all gasping]
223
00:12:23,250 --> 00:12:26,333
-…with modern dance instead.
-[all exhale]
224
00:12:26,416 --> 00:12:29,250
-Every parent's dream, right?
-[faint laughter]
225
00:12:29,333 --> 00:12:31,958
She moved to New York
without knowing a soul.
226
00:12:32,041 --> 00:12:33,666
Four years later, she's already danced
227
00:12:33,750 --> 00:12:35,458
with every major choreographer
in the city.
228
00:12:35,541 --> 00:12:37,416
Paul, Trisha, Merce.
229
00:12:38,125 --> 00:12:42,583
1990. This was the year
she was finally gonna join a company.
230
00:12:42,666 --> 00:12:46,791
Not just go from job to job.
Actually have a home, an artistic family.
231
00:12:46,875 --> 00:12:50,500
And she was ready.
This was her year. She knew it.
232
00:12:50,583 --> 00:12:54,500
And then she fractured her ankle
during a dress rehearsal.
233
00:12:54,583 --> 00:12:57,083
[piano continues playing]
234
00:12:58,375 --> 00:13:03,083
[Jon] Six months of rehab later,
she's dancing again, it's just…
235
00:13:04,291 --> 00:13:09,000
whatever that moment was, when she knew…
236
00:13:09,083 --> 00:13:11,166
all of a sudden, she doesn't know anymore.
237
00:13:11,250 --> 00:13:12,083
[gasps]
238
00:13:12,166 --> 00:13:14,000
But Susan is a real artist.
239
00:13:14,083 --> 00:13:18,375
She doesn't care about seeing her name
in the New York Times.
240
00:13:18,458 --> 00:13:22,750
It doesn't matter to her
if she's dancing in front of five people
241
00:13:22,833 --> 00:13:24,833
or in front of five thousand.
242
00:13:24,916 --> 00:13:26,333
[slow ticking]
243
00:13:26,416 --> 00:13:28,458
And then there's the matter of us.

00:13:33,250 --> 00:13:34,583

342
00:18:06,375 --> 00:18:07,875
That's the prison barge.
343
00:18:09,208 --> 00:18:11,750
-Oh, yeah.
-[both laugh]
344
00:18:13,041 --> 00:18:17,833
I heard, uh, in Jacob's Pillow, they're
hiring new teachers for the dance school.
345
00:18:18,875 --> 00:18:20,416
-Oh, yeah?
-Yeah.
346
00:18:20,500 --> 00:18:24,166
Work a couple of hours a week.
Then the rest of the time is yours.
347
00:18:24,250 --> 00:18:27,166
-Free studio space whenever you want.
-Hey… Whoa…
348
00:18:27,250 --> 00:18:29,208
-Can we just talk for a second?
-Mm.
349
00:18:29,291 --> 00:18:32,000
Can we just talk about
how amazing you were tonight?
350
00:18:34,250 --> 00:18:37,125
-Thank you.
-I am not messing around.
351
00:18:37,208 --> 00:18:39,708
I could just watch you dancing forever.
352
00:18:44,708 --> 00:18:46,500
I was thinking of maybe applying.
353
00:18:46,583 --> 00:18:49,208
-Hm?
-To the job in Jacob's Pillow.
354
00:18:49,958 --> 00:18:52,500
-We went there last summer, remember?
-Oh.
355
00:18:52,583 --> 00:18:53,833
We saw the new Mark Morris.
356
00:18:53,916 --> 00:18:55,458
-Oh, yeah!
-Yeah.
357
00:18:56,583 --> 00:18:58,666
-That's the place in the Berkshires?
-Mm-hm.
358
00:18:58,750 --> 00:19:01,916
So, you're gonna move to the Berkshires?
359
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,041
And not have to work
30 hours a week doing word processing
360
00:19:05,125 --> 00:19:07,208
to pay the rent, why not?
361
00:19:07,291 --> 00:19:09,708
I might actually be able
to get back into shape.
362
00:19:10,750 --> 00:19:13,875
Okay. Yeah. All right.
Let's do it. Let's move.
363
00:19:15,625 --> 00:19:17,875
-I'm being serious.
-Hey, I'm being serious.
364
00:19:17,958 --> 00:19:21,375
We're gonna live in a log cabin.
We're gonna hunt… acorns.
365
00:19:21,458 --> 00:19:24,708
We're gonna-- [spluttering]
We're gonna gather squirrels.

367
00:19:27,583 --> 00:19:29,458
-[laughs]
-It's the Berkshires.
368
00:19:29,541 --> 00:19:32,208
People have vacation homes there.
You've been there.
369
00:19:32,875 --> 00:19:35,666
I'm so sorry.
Can we-- Can we please go inside?
370
00:19:35,750 --> 00:19:37,291
Sorry, I just feel like I'm scared--
371
00:19:37,375 --> 00:19:39,541
I'm beginning
to lose sensation in my extremities.
372
00:19:39,625 --> 00:19:41,166
You are such a baby.
373
00:19:41,750 --> 00:19:43,125
Take this.
374
00:19:45,791 --> 00:19:47,541
[Jon] Whoa. Hold on.
375
00:19:48,958 --> 00:19:51,291
-[exhales deeply]
-You like?
376
00:19:54,666 --> 00:19:57,333

to get back inside.

00:20:16,541 --> 00:20:19,416
-Yeah, sounds amazing.
-I already applied for it.
381
00:20:19,500 --> 00:20:20,958
-Oh, yeah?
-Yeah.
382
00:20:21,041 --> 00:20:22,958
-And I got it.
-Oh…

00:20:23,541 --> 00:20:25,333
-Oh, yeah? That's great.
-Yeah.
384
00:20:26,500 --> 00:20:28,375
It starts in June.
385
00:20:28,458 --> 00:20:30,625
Okay. So this is just for the summer?
386
00:20:30,708 --> 00:20:32,541
No. Mm-mm, it's permanent.
387
00:20:36,083 --> 00:20:37,125
Jon?
388
00:20:38,166 --> 00:20:41,000
Whoa, the Berkshires?
389
00:20:41,083 --> 00:20:44,791
That is, like, so far from Midtown.
390
00:20:44,875 --> 00:20:46,541
[pained chuckle] Yeah. Yeah.
391
00:20:46,625 --> 00:20:48,541
Why is she doing this right now?
392
00:20:48,625 --> 00:20:51,041
And she says,
"I want you to come with me."
393
00:20:51,125 --> 00:20:54,083
-What did you say?
-I said, "Oh?"

[laughs]
395
00:20:57,166 --> 00:20:59,833
What am I supposed to say?
I didn't know what to say.
396
00:20:59,916 --> 00:21:02,666
I mean, like, I can't…
I can't leave New York.
397
00:21:02,750 --> 00:21:05,000
-Oh, tell her to move in with you.
-Move in where?
398
00:21:05,083 --> 00:21:06,583
You need a new roommate, right?
399
00:21:06,666 --> 00:21:09,625
It's two birds, one stone.
You are very welcome.
400
00:21:10,416 --> 00:21:13,625
Okay, so, what… what about the guy
that you were dating? David?
401
00:21:13,708 --> 00:21:16,500
-I thought you guys were great together.
-It didn't work out.
402
00:21:18,291 --> 00:21:20,458
Oh. There's a focus group
at the office this week,
403
00:21:20,541 --> 00:21:23,583
and they're looking for a few more people.
How about I sign you up?
404
00:21:24,750 --> 00:21:27,333
So you can lure me to the dark side?
405
00:21:27,416 --> 00:21:30,000
No! So I can introduce you
to my colleagues,
406
00:21:30,083 --> 00:21:32,000
and show them how brilliant you are.
407
00:21:32,083 --> 00:21:33,500
I don't want a job in advertising.
408

I don't want you
to have a job in advertising.
409
00:21:35,625 --> 00:21:38,666
I want you to have a job in…

-[laughs]
-No, listen.
411
00:21:41,708 --> 00:21:44,250
You come up with jingles
all the time for fun, Jon.
412
00:21:44,333 --> 00:21:46,375
You come up with songs
about cereal we're eating.

-You could get paid for that.

Well, you know,
when Superbia gets produced,
415
00:21:51,375 --> 00:21:54,708
I will be getting paid
for my music anyway. So…
416
00:21:55,333 --> 00:21:56,583
That's true.

515
00:27:26,125 --> 00:27:31,041
We'd watch one of us present what
we'd been working on to a panel of, well…
516
00:27:32,083 --> 00:27:33,666

517

as soon as we walked through the door.
525

-[man] All right, I'll start.
529
00:28:19,708 --> 00:28:20,708
I'm lost.
530
00:28:21,708 --> 00:28:23,625
I… I don't know what the show is.
531
00:28:23,708 --> 00:28:26,458
Is it social commentary?
Is it science fiction?
532
00:28:26,541 --> 00:28:30,458
And the music is the same thing.
Is it rock? Is it Broadway? Is it both?
533
00:28:30,541 --> 00:28:33,166
Is it neither? Steve, what did you think?
534
00:28:36,500 --> 00:28:39,583
I have to say,
I disagree pretty strongly, Walter.
535
00:28:39,666 --> 00:28:42,791
I think this is a musical
that knows exactly what it is.
536
00:28:44,666 --> 00:28:46,958
Yes. Yes. Of course, yes. Abso--
537
00:28:47,041 --> 00:28:50,291
The world that you've created
is really original.
538
00:28:50,375 --> 00:28:51,958
It's fascinating.
539
00:28:52,041 --> 00:28:57,208
The problem is, it's not particularly easy
to follow the emotional thread.
540
00:28:57,291 --> 00:29:01,583
The details distract us
from connecting with the characters.
541
00:29:01,666 --> 00:29:03,333
-Does that make sense?
-Okay. Okay.
542
00:29:03,416 --> 00:29:06,416
Yes, yes. We're on the same page.
That's exactly how I felt.
543
00:29:06,500 --> 00:29:09,416
We're saying the same thing,
just differently.
544
00:29:09,500 --> 00:29:12,875
But the music, okay, I'm sorry--
The music just wasn't there.
545
00:29:12,958 --> 00:29:15,208
I actually--
I thought the songs were swell.
546
00:29:15,791 --> 00:29:19,500
Yeah, okay… Yes. Yes.
The individual songs.
547
00:29:19,583 --> 00:29:24,000
I particularly like the one the young man
sings at the end of the first act.
548
00:29:24,083 --> 00:29:27,416
First rate lyric and tune. Well done.
549
00:29:29,333 --> 00:29:32,208
[Jon] "First rate lyric and tune."
550
00:29:32,291 --> 00:29:33,291
Thank you.
551
00:29:33,375 --> 00:29:38,708
Those five words were enough
to keep me going for the next two years.
552
00:29:40,833 --> 00:29:44,625
You're missing a song
for the young woman. Uh…
553
00:29:44,708 --> 00:29:46,208
-Elizabeth?
-Elizabeth.
554
00:29:46,291 --> 00:29:48,458
It's the turning point in the show.
555
00:29:48,541 --> 00:29:51,750
Your protagonist is either gonna go
in this direction or that direction.
556
00:29:51,833 --> 00:29:55,625
Someone has to wake him up,
shake some sense into him.
557
00:29:56,208 --> 00:29:57,333
Okay.
558
00:29:57,416 --> 00:30:02,125
[laughing] It's so funny because I was
gonna say the exact same thing.
559
00:30:02,833 --> 00:30:06,583
Can we talk musicians?
Because if it's only gonna be four,
560
00:30:06,666 --> 00:30:10,291
then I gotta figure out how
I'm gonna split up the bass parts.
561
00:30:10,375 --> 00:30:11,916
This is for you. Here you go.
562
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,416
-Thank you.
-Yeah. Uh…
563
00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:15,666
-Jon, this is a reading.
-Mm.
564
00:30:15,750 --> 00:30:16,916
You'll have a piano.
565
00:30:17,875 --> 00:30:19,375
I wrote a rock score.
566
00:30:19,458 --> 00:30:23,833
So, at the very least I'll need a synth
and drums and a guitar and--
567
00:30:23,916 --> 00:30:28,125
A great song should sound great
without any instruments.
568
00:30:28,208 --> 00:30:29,500
Mm. Okay.
569
00:30:29,583 --> 00:30:31,166
Let's just do the song as a cappella.
570
00:30:31,958 --> 00:30:34,500
Oh, actually, you know what?
Maybe we'll just skip the songs,
571
00:30:34,583 --> 00:30:37,666
and then we can get the audience
in and out in half an hour.
572
00:30:37,750 --> 00:30:39,416
I will take a look at the budget
573
00:30:39,500 --> 00:30:43,000
and I will see if I can dig up
some money for another musician.
574
00:30:43,083 --> 00:30:44,125
Two more.
575
00:30:44,625 --> 00:30:46,916

bare minimum for this.

Oh. Wow.
1185
01:04:40,583 --> 01:04:41,791
This is where we're gonna need
1186
01:04:41,875 --> 01:04:44,458
that incredible imagination
of yours, Mr. Larson.
1187
01:04:44,541 --> 01:04:48,708
So the product we're looking at
is a tasteless, odorless chemical compound
1188
01:04:48,791 --> 01:04:51,625
that will be used as
a fat substitute in cooking.
1189
01:04:51,708 --> 01:04:52,583
Mm.
1190
01:04:52,666 --> 01:04:57,083
And it's been successfully tested
on a number of mammals.
1191
01:04:57,166 --> 01:04:58,958
Well, that's good. Mm.
1192
01:04:59,041 --> 01:05:01,166
There are some side effects
associated with the product
1193
01:05:01,250 --> 01:05:03,125
that I've been instructed
to tell you about.
1194
01:05:03,208 --> 01:05:05,000
So it's skin scales.
1195
01:05:05,750 --> 01:05:07,458
Um… full hair loss.

And finally, in a small number of users,
1199
01:05:15,541 --> 01:05:18,166
there were reports
of toxic shock syndrome…
1200
01:05:18,958 --> 01:05:22,375
resulting in a brief hospitalization.

-It's not funny.

-Tell them I had a stroke.
-It isn't funny.
1223
01:06:26,333 --> 01:06:27,916
This is my life.
1224
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:31,541
No, it's not your life, it's advertising.
1225
01:06:31,625 --> 01:06:33,708
It's figuring out how to trick people
1226
01:06:33,791 --> 01:06:36,833
into buying shit that they don't want.
1227
01:06:36,916 --> 01:06:39,000
Actually, it's a lot more
complicated than that.
1228
01:06:39,083 --> 01:06:41,833
I don't understand how
you can take any of this seriously.
1229
01:06:41,916 --> 01:06:44,166
-Because they pay me to.
-Money isn't everything.
1230

-Well, it doesn't hurt.
-Are you sure about that?

-I'm making art.
-That's what the world needs. More art.

Actually, yes. And at least
I'm not perpetuating a system that's--

Spare the self-righteousness, Jon.

Gosh, I wish I could be more like you,

and spend my life caring
about driving the right car

and living in a doorman building.

Not all of us have options you do.

All the things that you take for granted.
1243

-What? Like what?
-Like a life with the person you love.
1244

Do you know what I would give for that?
You-- You turn your nose up at it.

If that's what you want,
what's stopping you?

What's stopping me? How about
Jesse Helms and the Moral Majority?

How about the people
that run this country?

I always told you, it was a tough sell.
1522

1523

01:25:39,166 --> 01:25:42,833
Um… That's not what it's about. Um…
1526

Well, of course, I know that, Jonathan.
1527
01:25:45,625 --> 01:25:49,583
But you know these producers, they care
about one thing and one thing only.
1528
01:25:49,666 --> 01:25:54,541
Okay. Uh… So what about Off-Broadway?
1529
01:25:54,625 --> 01:25:57,083
It's too expensive for Off.
1530
01:25:57,750 --> 01:26:00,958
You got a cast of thousands,
with the special effects…
1531

Uh… Charlie, tell him I'll be on in a sec.

1536

So what am I supposed to do now?
1537
01:26:19,125 --> 01:26:21,041
You start writing the next one.
1538
01:26:21,833 --> 01:26:25,208
And after you finish that one,
you start on the next.
1539
01:26:25,291 --> 01:26:31,000
And on and on, and that's
what it is to be a writer, honey.
1540
01:26:31,791 --> 01:26:34,541
You just keep throwing them
against the wall
1541

that eventually, something sticks.

been in this business a long, long time?

On the next one, maybe
try writing about what you know.

about marketing research ever again,

It was incredible this morning.

Well…But not incredible enough.
1565

I can't do it again, Mike.
1566

that no one will ever see

the slightest thing original

-The presentation, Jon, it was amazing.

to give up what you have.

-And?

01:28:49,416 --> 01:28:53,750
And Stephen Sondheim was 27
when he had his first show on Broadway.
1582
01:28:53,833 --> 01:28:56,791
Well, guess what? You're not
Stephen Sondheim. Wait a little longer--
1583

I'm not waiting anymore.
I can't keep waiting. This is my life.

-No, you don't. I'm running out of time.
