Promotion. Sounds like

an interesting job, huh?

Yeah. Sounds like you should

take real long lunch hours

- You got it

- I used to be in the music business

Now I'm retired

It's a refined name for "bum"

I don't believe it

Hey, wait a minute!

- Hey, kid, wait up!

Where are you goin'?

Hey you!

Come on! Hold on!

I gotta borrow this.

I'll bring it back

- Sure

- If you bring it back in person

You got it

Hey!

Hey, wait a minute!

Where are you going?

Take that bike off the pier!

Holy sh*t!

Whoo!

You're a real Errol Flynn, kid

What other stunts do you do?

Man, this whole thing

is screwin' me up

- What whole thing?

- Ah, nothin'

Come on, have a cup of coffee

Sometimes the best person

to tell something to is a stranger

Go on. What's on your mind?

Okay

I run into this girl this morning.

Never saw her before in my life

She kisses me and disappears

- So what's so weird about that?

- What's weird about that is

ten minutes later I see her on an

album cover I'm supposed to paint

I mean, that's crazy, right?

If I said it sounded crazy,

would you stop looking for her?

- No

- Then why ask?

So I'll keep lookin' for her

Okay, but take a tip from me

What's that?

Don't look underwater any more

Thanks a lot

- Hey, Al, where you goin'?

- Sonny,

- it's good to see you, man

- How you doin'?

How could I go wrong with

the paint job you did on my van?

And the chicks love it

It's one of the finer

examples of my work

- It's beautiful, man

- Where you headed?

- Eas. Where you goin'?

- West

- I'll give you a ride

- No, that's cool

- Forget it. I owe you one

- All right. Okay, hit it

Relax and enjoy it.

We're taking the scenic route

Yeah, just don't forget

I'm back here

Hey, that's the place

on the album cover!

Slow down, I wanna get off here

- Here?

- Thanks for the ride

Anytime, Sonny

I've always been in your mind

You know I will be kind

I'll be guiding you

Building your dream

Has to start now

There's no other road to take

You won't make a mistake

I'll be guiding you

Wow

We have to believe we are magic

Nothin' can stand in our way

We have to believe we are magic

Don't let your aim ever stray

And if all your hopes survive

Destiny will arrive

Bring all your dreams alive

For you

Bring all your dreams alive

For you

You

Me

Hey, I've been askin'

about you all day

You may not believe this,

but I'm paintin' an album cover

- and you're on it

- Why shouldn't I believe it?

Because before today,

I never laid eyes on you

Now I've seen you

three times in one day

- That's too coincidental

- Sounds like you don't believe it

With all that's happened to me today

to tell you the truth,
