00:01Polly Walden, ladies and gentlemen.

00:07Great crowd. Not drunk yet.

00:11What the hell are you doing on a bed?

00:12Jesus Christ, kid, you got a fever.

00:16First stop, childhood.

00:18125th Street and 2nd Avenue.

00:20I was a late in life surprise,

00:22and the minute I popped my head out of my,

00:24I was the sickest kid in the world.

00:25My first breath was a cough.

00:27I was always in pain, I couldn't digest anything but goat's milk.

00:31Imported from Albania.

00:32Ma, you're supposed to be frozen.

00:34I know, but I thought that was worth mentioning.

00:36Ma.

00:37I'm alright, I'm freezing, I'm freezing.

00:41On top of all that, when I'm 8, I get rheumatic fever.

00:45By 11, I've had it two times more.

00:48Even rheumatic fever's going, this is a bit much.

00:51It beats my heart to a pulp.

00:53Dr. Spindel, the family physician, makes so many house calls,

00:58he's got his own mug in the cupboards.

00:59And then, I overheard him tell Ma, I'll be dead by 16.

01:06I'm throwing out his fucking mug.

01:09You were not dying before, you're supposed to, no way.

01:12How do you know?

01:13Because I know, that's how.

01:14Yeah?

01:15Yeah, you kid.

01:17You're going to have a remarkable life.

01:19Ma tutors me, reads me books, plays me all of her big band and ragtime records.

01:25Not only that, she teaches me her act.

01:29Ha!

01:29A lazy river, the only real one.

01:33A lazy, lazy river, my new name is hot.

01:37This isn't some delusional stage mother thing.

01:40Ma had been a thought-built star.

01:42I would have had a hit record, too.

01:44If the record company hadn't gone under, I started singing, making up songs, Ma coaches me.

01:51Now your hands, they're your real backup singers.

01:54Even if you aren't using them, make that the way you are using them.

01:58And she tells me stories.

02:00And the copa, the gangsters bring their girlfriends on Saturday and their wives on Sunday.

02:06That show's the hardest.

02:09No one laughs.

02:10The husbands have heard the jokes before.

02:13They're just when they're laughing, figuring out why.

02:16Bam!

02:16You're on.

02:17Sunday night.

02:18Get ready.

02:20Some people go to church.

02:22Ma goes to the copa.

02:25That's the top.

02:26And you're going to play there.

02:28If I don't die trying.

02:30What's the matter?

02:31Does your chest hurt?

02:32Do you need something?

02:33Where the hell is your sister?

02:34Nina!

02:35Bobby!

02:36What is it?

02:37What's wrong?

02:38What do you need?

02:39Nina, my older sister.

02:41She treats me like I'm going to drop dead at any moment.

02:44She mothers me more than Ma.

02:45Sorry about her in advance.

02:47He needs his pills!

02:50What kind of mother are you?

02:52Forgetting his medicine?

02:53Getting him overexcited with all this bullshit about the copa?

02:57He needs to go and live his dream.

02:59He's not an invalid.

03:01That's exactly what he is, Ma!

03:02And he's an invalid who's going to be a star.

03:05It's always like this.

03:07I play the drums to drown them out.

03:10And then, I turn 16.

03:13For the first time, I think about a future.

03:15And until someone up there notices the oversight, I'm going to have one.

03:19A big one.

03:19The minute I can, I get out of there.

03:21I graduate Bronx Science, play gigs in the Catskills, sit in at Club 78 Uptown.

03:27Somewhere in there, I turn 19 and meet Kershner.

03:31Fix your face!

03:32You're going to scare the customer!

03:33Don Kershner, my first songwriting partner.

03:36Where is she?

03:37You've been waiting for two hours.

03:38You've been waiting 20 minutes.

03:39She's some flop pitch singer.

03:41Not for long, apparently.

03:42She's going places.

03:43We'll sell those places.

03:44She'll be late.

03:45And this girl's legit.

03:46I heard about her from the furniture store guy.

03:48Oh, the furniture store guy.

03:50He knows talent.

03:51Hey, you bought our first song, didn't he?

03:53A jingle is not a song.

03:54You're telling me?

03:55They're more in the pantheon of poetry.

03:58But that's where you can't be.

04:00No.

04:00So fuck it to your feet.

04:02Fuck you.

04:02Well, hope of us ain't coming with us to do a vibing dream.

04:06We're going to Orange.

04:08Furniture store.

04:09We're going to Orange.

04:12Furniture store.

04:13Where the credit is easy and the terms are low for sure.

04:19Hey, you got to start somewhere.

04:21If we land this, no more caps praises.

04:24No more jingles.

04:25Oh, real song for a real singer.

04:27If I die having only put out a song that's got a refund policy sung real fast at the end,

04:31I'm going to haunt you to your graves.

04:33Hiya, boys.

04:34Sorry I'm late.

04:35Ugh.

04:35I had to sneak out past my pop.

04:38He does not like me meeting songwriters.

04:41He doesn't know.

04:42Alrighty, man.

04:43Really?

04:43Who isn't a priest?

04:45I heard you clergy.

04:46That would really make this easier.

04:49Connie Francis.

04:57Jersey Girl, all of 19.

04:59Eventually she'll sell over a hundred million records.

05:02But right now, her first three singles are flops.

05:05You boys got a song for me?

05:06We might.

05:07Now we want to write for you your first song.

05:11My, my treasure.

05:12We both really done, didn't we, Bobby?

05:14Yeah, totally.

05:16So convincing.

05:17Are you sure you're not an actor?

05:18It was a little soapy for me.

05:19The B-stock was better.

05:20But it was a little bar, huh?

05:22Well, I fuck both sides, coach.

05:24No guarantee one's going to charge, but this one will.

05:27Right, Bobby?

05:27Yeah, bet my life on it.

05:29Uh, can you transpose?

05:31I think I should sing this in C.

05:33You want the key to C, lady?

05:34You got C.

05:35You want H, you got that too.

05:36Bobby!

05:37This is going gray.

05:39What's up with your smile at the girl?

05:43Oh, don't smile at the girl.

05:46Just play.

05:48Geronimo.
