Before We Go Page #2

things that you could be doing?

Well, you didn't say trash can

treasure hunts were on the menu.

I'm actually in town for

an audition... tomorrow.

I was in Grand Central Station,

just kinda... trying to piece

together what I want to play.

So, trumpet?

Yeah.

I don't think that I've seen

anyone play trumpet

since eighth grade band.

Well, we're still around.

We just don't, uh, march

as much as we used to.

- Jazz.

- Yeah.

- You listen?

- I like it. I like jazz.

I-I don't know it.

- I know "My Funny Valentine."

- A classic.

I actually did it one year

at summer camp.

I serenaded Jonathan Weinstein

from behind a tree.

Jonathan Weinstein

behind a tree.

What was your encore?

A strip tease to...

Oh, wow. Brave.

So embarrassing!

Brave!

He ran away.

And... that was the end

of my jazz career.

Yeah.

Well, that's a shame.

What was the next career?

- I'm an art consultant.

- Really?

I'm actually in the city

buying a painting.

Oh, yeah? What's the piece?

I don't know if you'd know it.

Well, that's probably true.

Um... who's

your favorite painter?

Or would I not know him, either?

No, no.

But if I did tell you that,

I'd lose all credibility.

Oh, come on! You got to now.

You're stupid.

Well...

we may be in luck.

Took a little persuasion.

Had to call in a favor or two.

So, I just have to go

to this address and...?

- That's a shitty neighborhood.

- What, you think, uh,

guys on Wall Street

were lifting purses?

Well...

thank you.

I hope I was helpful.

Extremely.

I think that he wants gratitude.

Group hug?

Big kiss?

I believe the words were

"handsome gratuity."

Right.

You take credit cards?

Okay, so it's-it's

this way, right?

All right, you talked me

into it... I'm coming with you.

Thank you, but really,

you have your thing and...

It's all right. It's late.

You're going

to a shitty neighborhood.

I'm not gonna let you go alone.

Besides, it's this way.

Are you sure you don't mind?

Positive. Come on.

I'm sure that my husband

will really appreciate

your helping me.

It's incredibly generous of you.

You didn't have to do that.

What?

The husband thing.

Well, I didn't mean

to distrust you.

It's just you're being so nice.

Nice.

Well... don't mention it.

So, what was this thing that

you were headed to tonight?

Is it something to do

with the audition or...?

No, not really.

Well, kind of.

You know...

you know when you can't

make up your mind

about whether or not

you should do something?

And you ask the universe

"If I'm supposed to do this,

give me a sign"?

And is the audition

the thing or the sign?

The sign.

There's this really

influential band...

Duke Terry?

- No...
