KELLY
Mark. My p.r. guy.

BENNY
How ‗bout showin‘ up for the showcase this weekend. We could use the coverage.

KELLY
What about the commercial? Y‘know, the reason I‘m here?

BENNY
That‘s five minutes. Hey--remember the lead in Shaking the Blues?

ALYSON
Whoa- that‘s my song.

BENNY
You wrote that? (Smacks his head) Ha. All this time- thought it was Irving Berlin. You got more solos
than Luciano Pavarotti. Let me bring her up to speed. (To Kelly) Ready to work?

KELLY
(Cheerful for Alyson‘s benefit) Sure! (He leads her to the piano: they‘re seen reviewing sheet music
silently during following)

[Piano: Four note intro]
