Transcript

Alice doesn't live here anymore. I've got it. Alice doesn't live any of those places anymore, because when they start closing in, Alice hits the highway. We ain't hiring no waitresses. I'm not a waitress. I'm a singer.

You were a one-year-old singer? Oh, T, sure. Did you decide what you want for breakfast? First I want a big smile. Do you want eggs? Yeah, amin' eggs. Amin' eggs. Okay, how do I trade?

Everybody! Listen! We got us here a new girl. And her name is Alice. And today is her first day on the job. And Mel here says that she was a singer. How about them apples?

But hands off, let the girl do her work. If there's going to be any conveyor around you, grab mine, Steve. You look, but don't you touch. But you mind turning around for me? Turn around for you, why?

How long I'll catch you? What can't you? Look at my face, I don't sing with my... I'm not a waitress, I'm a singer. I want a singer. I want to be a singer. I'm a singer.

I am a singer. I am a singer. I am a singer. What about Friday? No, I can't. I'm sorry, thank you. Do your Z. Well, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be here for New Year's Eve.

What am I doing wrong? When I was 19, I got a job in this really nice hotel in Monterey. You know, you play the piano and sing it. I got it locked at them. That's fine.

I want to go back and pick up where I left off. Do you want to go home or do you want to sing? I want to do both. Can I have everything? I want you and Tommy with me.
