Summary: Slow dialog: 1:33 Explanations: 3:23 Fast dialog: 13:33 Isaac: Can you keep it down in there? I’m trying to write a song. Brittany: You are? What kind of song? Isaac: It’s none of your business. Brittany: Come on. Tell me. Isaac: It’s for Melanie. Brittany: Oh, it’s a love song. That’s so romantic. Are you going to serenade her? Isaac: Maybe. Now leave me alone so I can write. Brittany: Don’t kick me out. Maybe I can help. Let me hear what you have so far. Isaac: Oh, all right. Here are the lyrics. There’re pretty rough. Can you think of something that rhymes with flower? Brittany: Hmm...let me see. They’re not bad, not too sappy. Let’s hear the melody...That’s nice. The chorus is catchy. Are you going to sing it a cappella? Isaac: I was going to ask Jimmy to play the guitar to accompany me, so I can make a recording of it. Brittany: Let me do it. I can play the guitar. Isaac: No way. You won’t take it seriously. Brittany: I will. I promise. I’ll make little kissing noises in the background and it’ll move her to tears. Isaac: Forget it! What was I thinking telling you about it?!
