February 15, 2010

JOEL: Hey, I'm in A&R at Hancock Records. Just caught your set. You guys are GREAT.
JAMES: THANKS! Heh, wanna sign us?

JOEL: HA! I WISH.
JAMES: Well... you ARE in A&R... you COULD sign us, right?

JOEL: Can I... DO that?

JAMES: Why NOT?
JOEL: Wow... it'd be like I was ACTUALLY in the music business.

JAMES: You ARE in the music business.
