I don't believe it

You're right. It's too coincidental.

Someone must be setting us up

What do you mean?

Hey, wait a minute!

I didn't have anything

to do with this!

- Really?

- Yeah, really, I didn't

Hey!

Who said I was talking about you?

You come here often?

Yes. I can practise my

skating and no one bothers me

- You must live around here then

- Sometimes

- Say, you think we could, uh

- See each other again?

- Yeah. Would you like that?

- Why?

I don't know... I don't

have a very good reason

I'd just like to see you again

Where are you? I don't know

where I'm supposed to look

Bring all your dreams alive

For you

We'll see each other again.

Bye, Sonny

How'd you know my name?

Hey, wait a minute!

I don't know your name

Kira

Kira

- I was in big trouble

- What did you do?

- Nothing

- Hi, Sonny

What are you doin' here?

It's early

Yeah, it's really early

I'm workin'

- Well, that's wonderful

- Oh, hello there

Do you know you bear

a strong resemblance

to a fellow by the name of Sonny?

He works here

Always comes in late, though.

Say, that's pretty damn good

It is. It's too good.

That's what's wrong with it

It is supposed to look exactly

like the album cover I gave you

- Is that too difficult?

- If you want me to work, I'll work

If you want to argue,

I can get into that too

Don't be a wiseass, Malone

What are you wasting all

this time on a girl for?

Because that's how she really looks

I don't give a damn

Just get it finished.

When are you gonna have it done?

Well, I'd say it

probably will be done...

when it's done

But that's only an approximate guess

Five minutes, my office.

If it's six, keep walking

Sonny, what did you do?

Nobody likes it, but we all

say "yes" and then forget it

- It goes with the job

- Four minutes

What difference does it make?

I'll say it's Tuesday,

he'll say it's Wednesday

Big deal. Tell him it's Wednesday.

What does it cost?

Oh, nothin'.

Maybe just the truth

Just go in there and agree

with him. That's all he wants

You want me to say

Tuesday's Wednesday?

- Uh-huh

- Three and a half minutes

All right!

I'll be right back

Sit down

You think you're pretty

special around here, don't ya?

- I never said I was special

- Well, you're not

I mean, you didn't discover art.

Who do you think did that?

- I did. Surprises you, doesn't it?

- No, not really

Now I've got an office

I make a lot of money.

People respond when I call

That's because I smartened

up and I gave up art

I think you made the right decision

I want you to smarten up too.

Start doing things the company way

Sometimes I see more in these

covers than what's really there

That's art. Just paint
