:49:04
How'd you get in here?
:49:05
Your maid left the back door open.
:49:09
- I don't have a maid.
- I can tell.
:49:13
Come on. Get out of here
before I have to shoot you.
:49:16
Nah, Nicky, sit down
and stop being such a hard-on.
:49:24
So, Mr. Red Hot Chili Pepper.
:49:28
I heard you were at the Viper Room.
:49:30
So Raji told you about Linda Moon.
:49:32
She's something else, huh?
:49:34
The heart and soul of that group.
:49:36
I'm telling you, bro,
the Chicks are gonna be big.
:49:40
How's that?
By singing songs from the '70s?
:49:43
Don't laugh.
:49:44
You see, you're a movie guy,
so you don't know,
:49:46
but the music biz,
it goes in cycles.
:49:49
It's like Linda.
:49:50
When I signed her,
girl power was dead.
:49:52
It was the era
of the singer-songwriter.
:49:54
But now the market's flooded.
:49:56
What do the labels want?
Girl groups.
:49:59
Nicky, look at me.
:50:02
I am.
:50:03
I want Linda's contract.
:50:05
If you want to produce
Linda's album, great.
:50:08
I'm sure you can even get
a buck a record.
:50:10
But I got her booked
into some major gigs, bro.
:50:13
And I'm two seconds away
from getting her a deal.
:50:16
You mean you've had Linda for two years
and you've never gotten her a record deal?
:50:20
Chili, a trio is not born overnight.
:50:22
I've had her for three days,
and I already got her a label.
:50:25
So it looks
like we don't need you, Nicky.
:50:28
Let's get something straight.
:50:31
This isn't the movies.
:50:33
You can't tell everyone you're a wise guy
and charm their pants off.
:50:37
This is the music business.
:50:39
We're all wise guys.
:50:40
All right, wise guy, I'll make you a deal.
:50:45
Carosell, which is the dumbest name
I've ever heard for a company,
:50:48
gives me Linda Moon's contract,
:50:50
and if you ever threaten her
in any way,
:50:53
you'll regret it
for as long as you live, if that.
:50:57
That's some deal.
:50:59
What's in it for me?
