Popularity rank 6 #136. Summer intern’s first task

August 4, 2006

JOEL: So, welcome to Hancock Records. Your first project this summer is helping me brainstorm ways to sneak loopholes in our musician's contracts.

JOEL: Now, so far we've tried invisible ink, 1pt fonts, hidden rebuses....
INTERN: But this is... I... I wanted to work here because I love music and musicians.

INTERN: I... don't feel so well....

JOEL: Hey, Tim. We've... got another intern going Code 32 in the 18th floor bathroom.
OTHERTIM: God damn it... (sigh) OK. I'll get a mop.

Popularity rank 7 #39. Contract fine print

September 13, 2005

JANOS: Wait, Joel, this contract says we have to change the name of the band.
JOEL: Yes, but you get to choose the name from the list on pg. 13, I fought for that....

DUSTIN: And we lose all rights to all our songs and recordings!
JOEL: You're better off. Believe me. Free from the shackles of "rights"!

JANOS: Wait, we get zero royalties?!
JOEL: Well... yes, but you're missing the big picture....

RAVI: It says I have to: "Stop being Indian."
JOEL: Yes, the label is giving Ravi the opportunity to explore other cultures....
