"All right, I'm signed with one" "Of the biggest producers in the" "Industry, and I've just been" "Handed off to the girl who gets" "His coffee, all right?" "No offense, but it's a little" "Insulting." "okay, silly me, because here" "I'm thinking that you" "Appreciated the fact that I put" "My neck on the line for you." "Now, you have burned every" "Bridge at this record label and" "All over town." "You might not be impressed with" "Me, reed, but I'm all you've" "Got." "look, it's not personal," "April." "You seem like a sweet girl, but" "Really, what can you do for me?" "don't you think that I've" "Learned something working for" "Wes the past four years?"
