Juicy Fruits are looking up and stretching their arms towards a one-way mirrored
window opposite the stage. Camera switches to the other side of the
mirror, showing Philbin, and the Juicy Fruits onstage in the background. A
pair of gloved hands come up and start to slowly clap three times which
the audience follows with clapping and cheering. The Juicy Fruits bow and
make their way off-stage after a silly macho pose. Camera goes back to
Philbin, talking to an unseen Swan off-camera.] |

| Philbin : |
You know, it
just seems like yesterday I found Annette in that church choir. I got her
singing lessons. Taught her how to dress. I got her her first club job and
I paid off a columnist. He did a beautiful story on her. I taught her who
to be nice to, who to [microphone feedback covers
the f***]. I fed her the drugs to get
her through the road tours. I made her record a hit. Then I sold her to
you. You made her the biggest thing in rock. So now what does she do? She
fires us, cancels her Vegas date and wants to give free concerts to
starving gook orphans. She was more than a piece to me. She was the light
of my life. And now she's gone. |

| Philbin : |
We sued her. We couldn't lose. We had her
in an ironclad contract. It was a lock. It was over. It was closed. I even
bribed the judge. He ruled against us. Said we couldn't sign anyone to a
life contract. Said we were a disgrace to the profession. A disgrace, he
said! I was the one that made her the money-grubbing whore she was, and he
calls me a disgrace. |

| Swan : |
What do you
want me to do? |
|
|
| Philbin : |
Break her. |
|
|
| Swan : |
Is that all? |
|
|
| Philbin : |
Isn't that
enough? |
|
|
| Swan : |
Annette is
nothing, finished, washed up. |
|
|
| Philbin : |
But she's at
the top of the charts. |
|
|
| Swan : |
That's today
Philbin, today. Tomorrow she'll be forgotten. Besides, we have more
important business, you and I -- The Paradise. |
|
|
| Philbin : |
I know boss.
We've looked everywhere. You just don't seem to -- |
