"Do you want some coffee?" "What time is it?" "$7 million?" "That's not a lot for a musical these days." "Well, if you want to give me $15 million, Ralph," "I won't say no." "[Laughs]" "Well, you'll need it to get to Broadway." "Well, actually, we're just looking at a workshop and an out-of-town tryout." " And after that?" " Ralph!" "You called me, remember?" "You called me up and asked me if you could come over and talk to me." "Now you're playing hard to get." "Why are you here if you're not interested?" " When's the workshop?" " A week from Sunday." "Okay." "I'm not saying I'm interested, but I am intrigued." "22b comes after 18, replace 21 with 19." "No, I have 12 replacing 21." "That was last week." "Don't confuse her." "When do they stop changing everything?" "Five seconds before the performance." "Oh." "All right, if we put the fox number here and then we put the Johnny Hyde scene here and then... wait..." "The... the..." "Yes, Natasha Lytess scene here, it will heighten the progression." "Oh, my God, this isn't a high-school science project," " it's a bloody musical!" " No, it's a workshop!" "A first workshop!" "And people are coming to see it!" "Could we dial this down?" "Look, there is no discernible story, linear or otherwise, between pages 7 and 32." "That's not a gap." "That is a black hole." "And if you don't fix it this week, we're all going to get sucked into its tidal force, and all we'll be left with is "Marilyn the red dwarf."" "Okay, look, there's been a really crazy situation at home, okay?" "My husband has been out of town." "My son has gotten into some trouble, and I've had to be there for him." "That is great, Julia." "I am thrilled to hear your oh-so-sad story, but this workshop goes up in front of an audience in a week." "Tom here has written a beautiful melody, but check it out..." "The lyrics are half finished." "Whole song..." " Half the lyrics!" " Tom, it's okay." "No, it might be okay for you, but it's not okay for me." "He is not using me or my music as a club with which to bludgeon my writing partner!" "Got it?" "[Gasps] Oh." "It's okay." "It always gets a little tense with a new musical." "No, not that." "It's my credit card bill." " It's bad?" " $326.38." "You're kidding." " You're kidding, right?" " Can I see that?" "I don't think I've ever seen one this low before." "Have you ever seen one this low?" "Oh, my God." "I would be singing and dancing if I had a credit card bill this low." "Both:" "You're singing and dancing anyway." " Shut up!" " Get out of my head."

"Check over your scripts, please, get a good night's sleep, and no one get so much as a cold from now on." " Good night." " Good night." "Shoot." "Listen, I've been having some problems with the whole transition to the breakup scene." "Uh, we can talk about it tomorrow." "Oh, I don't want to take up rehearsal time." "Uh, could I call you tonight, or maybe even right now we could grab a coffee?" "Tomorrow would be best." "Okay." "Did you talk to her?" "According to the doctor, her throat is inflamed but not infected." " There are no nodules or polyps." " Did he give her a steroid?" "She has some prednisone, yes, but she's hypersensitive to drugs, so it's not necessarily her best first option." "So what are her other options?" "She's gonna try vocal rest for the night." " Okay, what are our options?" " Can we postpone?" " Well, that'd be difficult." " How difficult?" "Well, a lot of our investors already have it on their schedules." "If we postpone, it sends the wrong message." "Okay, what about our other Marilyn?" "Can she do it?" "Whoa, hang on!" "Yeah, I'd love to hang on, but I've just found out" "I've got to do an entire workshop about Marilyn Monroe with no Marilyn." " For a day, maybe!" " Oh, I'm sorry." "I wasn't aware I had an extra day." "Can Karen do it, Julia?" "Can she learn the role in a week?" " I don't know." " Stop it." "And by the way, don't you dare breathe a word about this to Ivy." "Stress plays a huge part in all of this." "You've already been leaning on her too hard." "If she finds out you want to replace her, it'll make it much worse." "A leading lady with vocal problems..." "No one believes that even when it's true!" "Yep." "So what did he say?" "It's inflamed." "Strained more than anything." "It's stress." "He gave you prednisone, right?" "Well, that's good." "That stuff is a miracle worker." "Well, there are a lot of bad side effects." "Darling, you work in musical theater." "There are lots of terrible side effects..." "Bankruptcy, alcoholism..." "Insanity." "[Laughs]" "[Whispering] Don't make me laugh." "Look, everybody uses the stuff... don't worry about it." "If it helps, it's worth it." "Look, I have to go work on tomorrow's schedule." "If you can't do it, we'll have to get the Cartwright girl to fill in, okay?" "I can't just waste the day." "[Door closes]" "[Sighs]" "Would you have to learn the dances?" " I don't know yet." " Can you ask?" "Not until they ask me." "They better do it fast." "You know what?" "I can do this." "Mom." "Mom!" "Oh!" "Sorry." "Aah!" "I'm so not the cook around here." "No kidding." "Okay." "Most of them are..." "are okay." "Ow!" "Some of them... ouch!" "There you go." "They're saved." "I'm saving them." " Mom, I don't want pancakes." " You love pancakes." "You burnt them." "Will, can you please put your phone away?" "Why, so I can eat your bad pancakes?" "Look, I know that I'm not as good a cook as dad." "Yeah, you're not, which would be why I asked for cereal." "You're cooking." "[Door closes]" "It smells good." " Dad?" " Frank?" "I knew there was a reason I took the red-eye." "Oh, I'm so glad you're home." "Me too." "[Both chuckle]" "God, I missed you." "Look at you..." "Handsome, even after flying all night." "Wow." "I should go away more often." "No, don't." "Yeah, don't." "Hey, there you are." "Hey." " Did you take it?" " First dose... six pills." " And?" " I'm..." "I'm having cold sweats." "I've had a headache since, like, 4:00 in the morning, and I-I just feel so panicky." " I'm not in good shape." " Yeah, what about your voice?" "Look, Ivy..." "I want to protect you in this situation, but, you know, if you take the day," "I'm gonna have to get the Cartwright girl to fill in..." "You know that." "Oh, I'm fine." "Okay." "Good." "Ladies and gentlemen..." "Marilyn is back." "[Cheers and applause]" " She got better that fast?" " She's probably on prednisone." "That drug is a miracle, if you don't mind the mood swings, insomnia, hair growth, hallucination, and weight gain." "[Chuckles]" "Listen, I just got a last-minute recording gig, but I'd booked a Bar Mitzvah for tonight." "Can you sub for me?" "A Bar Mitzvah?" "It's actually Ivy's gig." "She gave it to me two weeks ago because she was trying to save her voice." "Ivy's gig... of course." " It pays $500." " Oh." "All right, everyone, Let's be bad." "Just ask Jerry." "No!" "No!" "I'm not gonna ask him to pay the maintenance on an apartment which is already in his name." "He owns the place." "He can pay the maintenance without my having to beg him." "Listen, I'll have to call you back." "[Sighs]" "[Knock at door]" "Excuse me." "Your temp is..." "Actually, I don't know where your temp is." "What is it, Ellis?" "I just came by to let you know that rehearsals are going great." "Ivy took the prednisone." " She sounds awesome." " Good." "Do you need anything else?" "Do I need anything else?" "Yeah." "Do you need anything else?" "Jules." "Jules!" "Don't walk away." "Break is almost over." "We're about to start." "If you don't talk to me, I'll make a scene, and everyone will know." "That got your attention." "What do you want, Michael?" "I want to see you." "I'm here right now." "You can see me right now." " Alone." " That's not possible." " I'm not kidding." " Neither am I."

"If you wanted to rent it under the table, you wouldn't have to pay broker's fees." "You boys are very clever." "[Cell phone rings]" "Donny." "Yes, the workshop is next Sunday." "You don't want to miss it." "Nantucket?" "At this time of year?" "How dreary." "Well, Nathan Lane is coming and the Nederlanders." "Okay, thanks." "That, uh, didn't sound too good." "Lemons into lemonade, Ellis." "So how much?" "$10,000." "It's actually a bargain for this place." "I'm aware, but, uh, maybe Pam might have something for a bit less?" "In Manhattan?" "Yes, on the island of Manhattan." "Slit or Mini?" "Can it be Christmas, and I get both?" "It's a Bar Mitzvah." "Ivy's Bar Mitzvah, apparently." "Have you actually ever been to a Bar Mitzvah?" " Have you?" " I'm not hired to sing one." "Look, I used to sing at weddings all the time when I was home." "The song list is pretty much the same job to job." " Where is this gig?" " Northport." "What, way out on Long Island?" "Maybe I'm not Marilyn," "♪ but I do have a job" "♪ it's a Bar Mitzvah do you even know how to get to Northport?" "Yeah, Long Island railroad, then a cab."

"He was drunk." "I tried to get rid of him." "When we went outside to wait for the car service, he kissed me." "And you kissed him back?" "Big kiss or little kiss?" " Pretty big." " Julia." " He sang to me." " What did he sing?" "Donny Hathaway's A song for you." "Mm." "I bet he sounded amazing on that." "I probably would have kissed him too." "Oh, you so would have." " But I'm not married." " Right." "I love you." "You know how much I love you." "I do." "You have to figure this out fast." "You have to think about Frank..." "And Leo." "Too much talk about me." "Let's talk about you, okay?" "Tell me about the new guy." "Uh, good." "I like him." ""Good." "I like him." Simple, positive." "He's having some people over tonight." "Meeting his friends."
