Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench

Yep.

Okay, there you go.

Put that there.

Now, attempt to make a sound.

I'm not gonna tell you how to make the sound right.

Wow, okay.

- Doesn't sound like anything. - Hey, it sounds great to me.

I mean considering...

Sounds like something's dying.

That's great.

That's great.

Actually, okay, so now what we're gonna do

is your gonna play one note

and then your gonna press down the middle one

while you're playing.

Okay.

Keep it down, keep it down.

Wow, is that a half set?

Mhmm, exactly.

- Now I know why you look cross eyed, right?

Once you can do it, do this.

Yep, cause it's new to your muscles here so.

Yeah.

I feel it in my gut.

My stomach muscles.

Yeah, great, you're inner muscles are like...

Pushing.

Here's how I entertain myself.

This is how I juggle

when I'm tired of throwing them in the air.

It's not much easier you know.

I'm gonna give these three clubs away

to the beautiful women in my audience.

There ya go.

But is your phone going to be working?

Okay.

Alright, I'll talk to you later.

Bye.

Sorry.

Oh, it was just my friend from home.

Okay.

- Now that's what I'm talking about.

Just turn their stereos up

as loud as they want to.

It's amazing down here

'cause it's like a tunnel

so the volume that I'm talkin' at right now

could be heard if the window's open upstairs.

It's really interesting.

It's like you never hear anybody blasting Coltrane.

Or some Charlie Parker, or some Billie Holiday,

or some Bach cantatas,

or like a Mahler symphony.

It's always

somethin' like that, you know?

I don't know, maybe a day will come when we'll hear

all types of music being blasted.

- Well Moreen and I are really happy

that you decided to come here.

Well thank you.

I think it's going to work out really well.

How 'bout your boyfriend, he...

any major decisions?

Oh, I don't have a boyfriend.

Don't have one?

No.

Be able to get a career

and work days easier.

How 'bout your night life?

Friends to go out with?

- Yeah, I have friends, I have graduate school friends.

Are they still in the area?

Most of them are.

Yeah.

Now there's even Boston area,

Yeah, I suppose.

I've never been to New York.

- Well you better bring someone with ya,

who's been around.

How'd you get into this band?

Did you have some favorite trumpet people?

Any big names?

He's shy.

Yeah, I like Clifford Brown.

Oh, Clifford Brown?

- That reminds me of my favorite lyric

from Sweet Serenade.

Love in the fall, there ain't no lovin' at all.

June's curtain drops the romance stops.

I did find that I'd mingle,

and then in the end I'm like,

"I just wanna hang out with my friends."

So my take on that was neither here nor there.

Hey, hi, how are you?

Would you like some flowers today?

Oh they're beautiful.

No, no thank you.

Are you sure?

Yes, please.

- Come on, we gotta give you the rose.

No.

and make it go good, right?

What color you like?

They're all beautiful.

I give you the pink.

No, no.

Come on, it's on the house.

It's on the house.

That's very nice of you.

Thank you.

I'm not going to charge you any money.

Aw, you have a nice day.
