Hold it!

Hold it!

Wait a minute!

Wait a minute!

What's the matter?

What's the matter?

Where you racing to?

Where's the fire?

No fire. That's the way

the song was written.

It goes that way...

Upbeat.

What's the problem?

The problem is

is Im just saying words.

You know, you gotta

give me a little room,

So people know

what Im singing about.

You lose the beat,

people miss a step.

We want 'em

to dance.

Lose a beat,

miss a step...

what are you,

a moron, Sal?

You believe this guy?

Look, Sal,

I like your stuff,

But it just ain't

what I was looking for.

You understand?

Forget it. You had

your mind made up

Before you even started.

So what am I

knocking myself out for?

Look, I don't want

to argue with you, Sal.

You want to get another

opinion on the subject?

No! Forget it.

Joann,

what do you think?

What are you

askin' her for?

Why not ask her?

She's got a brain.

I don't know anything?

She knows, huh?

Everybody you bring in this

band's an expert except sally.

Sally's just a dumb

guinea, right?

You dumb guinea.

Hey, kid, come here.

Who, me?

Yeah, you. Come here.

Now, you heard what

we're talking about.

What do you think?

Well, I think

he's right.

I think it needs

a caesura.

See? My way,

with a caesarean.

A what?

Tell him.

What's your name?

Frank.

Tell him, Frankie.

A caesura?

That's

a timely pause,

A kind of

a strategic silence.

That's exactly right.

If you want, Ill

give you an example.

Ahem. Ok.

"One evening

"I took beauty

in my arms,

"And I thought

her bitter,

And I insulted her. "

Sounds like sh*t,

right?

Ok, wait a minute. Now Ill

do it with the caesura.
