One More Time Page #2

Synopsis: Rattling around in his mansion in the Hamptons, faded Sinatraesque crooner and notorious ladies man Paul Lombard stews over the acclaim that eluded him in his career and the trail of romantic wreckage he left in his wake. Matters are complicated when his punk rocker daughter Jude arrives in need of a place to stay and burdened with problems of her own....including a rivalry with her overachieving sister, her own ruinous love life, and above all, a fraught relationship with her famous father.

Come on, buddy.

I never minded you

changing your first name.

It's the last name

that bothers me.

You're not proud

to be a Lombard?

You changed it from Lipman.

Talk about pride.

You've been pretending to

be Italian all these years

when you're really Jewish.

I never said I was Italian.

If people think that,

it's their business.

Speaking of, if we could

put aside for a moment

Jude's contempt for her

lineage, I have an announcement.

I'm going to cut a record.

That's great.

Uh, album or single?

Single for know.

If it does good, Alan says

there's a chance an IP.

No one calls 'em IP's anymore.

Uh, what's it called?

"When I live my

life over again."

That's a bad title.

Uh who wrote it?

Me.

It came to him in the car.

We were driving back from

Foxworth's, and kaboom, it

come to me, out of the sky.

That's what the great

songwriters say,

that their songs come

to them fully formed.

That's what Mozart said.

That it felt like he was

taking dictation from god.

Huh?

I'm not comparing myself to

Mozart, I'm only saying...

You're just comparing

yourself to god.

I was driving, it was

coming to me so fast.

I just said it out loud.

Lucille wrote it down.

But you're not really

known as a songwriter.

What does it say?

The two skills are related.

Gershwin, Porter, Rodgers and

hart, the great songwriters

were not also necessarily

the best interpretations

of their own stuff.

For that you need Sinatra,

ray Charles, Billie Holiday.

Billie Holiday wrote

"strange fruit."

No she didn't.

A middle aged Jewish man

named Abe Meeropol wrote it.

What is it with you and

Judaism all of a sudden?

I was a vocal stylist.

Did anybody complain that Brando

didn't write his own lines?

It's not enough for

Olivier to be Olivier?

Since when do you have an

issue with Billie Holiday?

I don't have anything

against Billie Holiday.

I love Billie Holiday.

Singers were never expected

to write their own stuff.

She just didn't

write "strange fruit."

Not until Lennon and McCartney.

Well, I think Billie

Holiday is incredible.

And no one's arguing

with you, Corinne.

I think she's incredible, too.

In fact, I think a

lot of people are

incredible who,

like Billie Holiday,

did not write "strange fruit."

It says here "strange fruit"

was written by Lewis Allen.

That is a pseudonym

for Abe Meeropol.

Also, I did write

songs over the years.

I co-wrote, I collaborated

without credit.

I'm not saying that at my age

I'm going to be Burt Bacharach.

Excuse me.

I happened to write this one.

So, uh, could we hear it?

Yep.

Down.

Big finish.

If life is

nasty, brutish, and short,

and all this too shall pass,
