# We play different parts #

# But to be a star in love,

you've got to feel it in your heart #

# You've been acting strange

You don't love me with soul #

# Well, there's lots of other guys

who'd love to play your role #

# If you don't want to be

my leading man #

# Get out of my life

and let me live again #

- # You can go, you can go #

- # Ah #

- # The show must go on #

- # Oh... Oh #

# Hey, hey, one monkey #

Don't you think we should have

this discussion in private?

No. Anything you have to say to me,

you can say in front of them.

I'm sorry.

I'm from Walla Walla,

Washington.

Walla Walla, Washington.

Very fun to say.

And when I graduated college,

I took over the family insurance business.

I married my sweetheart,

and everything was perfect, except-

Let me guess. Selling insurance

bored you to death...

and you secretly longed to meet

the drag queen of your dreams.

Oh, it's the oldest

story in the book.

Boy meets girl, boy loses girl...

boy kicks open the closet door

and finally meets Mr. Right.

I don't know.

Anyway, I got a divorce...

and, uh, loaded my

suitcase into the car...

and I moved here to study law

and change the world.

How's that world changing going?

Honestly, when I got this job,

I thought I'd make a difference, you know?

I-I thought- I-I- I thought

I'd fight the good fight...

protect the innocent

and prosecute the guilty.

Uh, I'm just babbling now.

Tell me about you.

- You don't want to know about me.

- Yes, I do.

No, well-

No, there's really nothing to it.

- I don't believe that.

- Okay!

- Do you really wanna know

about me? - I do.

- Georgie, give me the blues in "F."

- What are you doing?

You just sit here and look pretty.

# Well, I was born across the country

in a place they call Queens #

# But I left my home behind me

way back in my teens #

# Now I live in the

so-called paradise #

# Where they spray

their grass green #

# Ain't got much in the

way of possessions #

# I ain't got much dough #

# I work in this bar to pay my rent

Keep the wolf from the door #

# There are better things in life

than money #

# But I still would

like some more #

# So, you want to know

about me, baby #

# Well, I'm here for you #

# I've got exes and baggage

and hang-ups and sh*t #

# And so do you #

# We could stay in this bar

all night talkin' #

# Or go to your car

for Round 2 #

Boy, you've got an amazing voice.

Yeah, this lip-synch thing,

it's just a cover.

What I really want to

be is Bette Midler.

- You should do it.

- What?

Sing. Do your own stuff.

I don't know, make a demo.

Making a demo takes time and money,

both of which are in short supply these days.
