Girl Meets Boy - Andrew Lloyd Webber, Original Broadway Cast Of Sunset Boulevard, Judy Kuhn

It’s nearly closing

I thought you weren’t going to show

So did I

I felt it might be kinder

What are you saying?

Come on, Miss Schaefer, you know

What?

Every time I see some young kid

Dreaming they’ll produce a 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 heel

The 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

O.K., Miss Schaefer

I give it to you

What do you mean?

Just what I said.

I’ve given up writing myself.

So you write it

Oh, I’m not good enough to do it on my own

But I thought we could write it together

I can’t.

I’m all tied up

Couldn’t we work evenings?

Six o’clock in the morning?

I’d come to your place

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

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 can 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
