And drifters, and floaters, you

know? And chicks, and smilers.

Man, you know, they're just

terrible. You know what I mean?

Hey, Shelly, I didn't

see you there, now.

What are you doing? Hiding

behind your drumsticks?

I heard you tied the knot. Why didn't

you invite Baby Jack into the party?

Oh man, it was small.

It was small, dig that.

Hey, ch... small, champagne.

Oh oh, waiter!

Oh, we'll get you something in a min...

Oh, there you go. Do you

have champagne in that uh...

- Yes sir.

- And why are you so hostile?

Look man, don't just stand there.

Give these people something to drink.

- Easy, easy.

- There you go.

Easy, this ain't no rush hour.

You have yourself a good time this

evening, and I'll see you later.

- Okay?

- Groovey baby.

- Same party, Charlie.

- Yeah, same party Ghost.

- Same chicks even.

- Same chicks.

The way you say it,

I think you miss this.

Of course I miss it. It's

a top, man. I'm no freak.

Yeah, Charlie.

Ghost, if I want to be here.

It's so easy, I could be here.

Five years ago I was playing

top feature in top spots.

- We play charities now.

- Right.

- Of course I miss it, I ain't no freak.

- Right, Charlie.

- Excuse me.

- Wait a minute, where you going?

- Now sweetie baby, you just rub my beard, you won't be nervous.

- Right

- No, honey I don't want to...

- Come on baby, sing one.

- Right.

- Come on now, don't be shy.

Come on over and sings us

something. Let me see what...

We used to get together and do a

little vocal. What you gonna sing?

What's your range? From what key to what

key? If you know what's range and vocal and...

...what key to add in, then we wail right on

through, see? And everything will be scrusimanstrosi.

- Alright?

- Okay

Yeah, nice sound. That's tough

there, you got nice pipes there.

You up in moonville there.

No, no. That's just your first note.

Now, when you wheel in to the melody...

Just relax and sing on out. Now you try that

first note and come right into it and continue.

Let's get together and

swing right on through. Okay?

- No hello, huh?

- Hello, Ben.

What you think of her?

Uh huh.

- What did you think Benny?

- Well...

Fellas, what did you folks think?

- Oh, she's marvelous. See? See?

What are you worried about honey?

Come over here baby. Excuse

me a second, will you?

What did I think?

I don't think you made it, sweetie baby.

You know, it's not

enough to look pretty.

I mean let's face it,

honey. You were embarrasing.

They were laughing at ya'.

When someone asks you to sing,

you gotta get up there and sing.

Benny, I didn't even know that number.

Look, I'm not talking about the number.

I'm talking about your need for experience. We
