feeling well tonight yeah but just for a drink nothing serious then the last thing I need right now is a relationship especially one where we could be waving at each other from opposite sides of the Atlantic he's probably being transferred to New York oh no oh yes which is why I'm taking a step back we should talk about this later yeah sure see you bye [Music] sorry I'm a bit lost I'm trying to find a rehearsal room for the broken hearts are you going to the audition you don't look much like a singer me no I'm a friend a friend and an advisor is that where you're going I can't find the number me neither I've never been here before hang on Goodin idea hello what David hi just a minute I'm taking a call look Matt all right come in for the audition yeah great we're just this way [Music] [Applause] oh hello is that the cosmic harmony center yes I'm interested in joining one of your Tai Chi classes no I've never tried it but I do yoga every day I'm sure the contracts alright better you know what Helens like and she's making Simon nervous too you know I'm doing a big favor here yeah I really appreciate it I mean I normally charge for legal advice and I doubt that you could afford my hourly rate and you are Iggy great we're not quite ready at the moment why don't you take a seat why David just one thing it's okay to video the candidates isn't it candidates it's not a job interview David as long as you don't use the video for commercial purposes it's fine that's what I said that's brilliant thanks for your help David you know you still owe me the 200 pounds I lent you for Jane's TV I haven't forgotten it I'll start paying you back after our gig your real mate okay Melissa can you tell us something about yourself sure my name is Melissa but I guess you all know that by now and I've always wanted to be a singer in a band in fact I've been in a band and our records have soared all over the world really you know I had a number 27 hit in Norway and got into the top 100 in Luxembourg and we were pretty successful for about two years but then it all went wrong our manager was sent to prison he was really horrible he cheated us out of lots of money uh-huh but hey we were young and innocent things happen how young well I was eight when I joined the band so I guess I was 10 when we split up right so could you sing something for us now sure I'd love to I'd like to sing amazing grace Amazing Grace how sweet the sound hi hello I'd like some information on your acupuncture classes please yeah it's Jane Wilson the address is number nine Manchester Road okay [Music] what do you make of that it's amazing I had no idea he played the piano it's quite something isn't he maybe but like I said he's not for me oh come off it Jane you're crazy about him we're just having a bit of fun that's all you're just two ships passing in the night well I hope you won't be sending me an SOS [Music] that was hopeless ten singers and ten disasters what about Melissa her singing was even worse than yours it's pretty fit though in an obvious way that doesn't appeal to me I think we could all do with a drink good idea I played in jazz clubs back home time I even thought about going professional you know work money career what did you sing along me why not I can't you're always singing at home mistakes a lay guess you'd better slow that Mustang down come on the b-side mustang sally' my baby guess you better slow your Mustang down you didn't run it all over town I guess you better put your flat feet on the ground all you wanna do is ride around Sal a roster there are all you wanna do is ride around Sally Wow I think you found your singer absolutely what if bill doesn't want to do it bill thread around Sally Ride Sally Ride one of these are the more you're gonna be wiping those we pan ahaha [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] so you're telling us the contract is disaster afraid so what if we decided to ignore the contract well you could ignore it but my advice is that you would be in big trouble that's just brilliant why did you sign it a contract drawn up by a wide boy like Eddie Ocean what happens if we do the gig David Eddie you'll get all the money I'm not turning up at the galaxy just a line Eddie oestrus pockets you'd better do something about that contract or we won't be playing any gigs anywhere okay I'll think of something Yeah right and what about Jane is she gonna sing with us or not look I'm working on it don't worry [Music] Wow somebody likes you I doubt it who are they from we don't know there's no card or anything oh that wonderful they must be from bill he likes to send flowers I'll put them in some water yes Jane hi hi Bill I don't know what I've done to deserve them but thanks for the flowers the flowers they're wonderful but not from me or not no but anyway it's good you called can we meet up later something's come up and I'd really like to talk to you about it such as well I really don't want to talk about it on the phone I'd rather tell you face-to-face I'll pick you up 7:00 would that be okay sure I see it 7:00 bye that's weird they're not from Bill it's Eddie hello Eddie look glad you've called are you that's nice now listen girls I'm a reasonable man but rules are there to be obeyed you're getting behind with your rent and that isn't good for anyone why don't you arrange a standing order with your bank to pay me the rent every month because if you do that will avoid any unnecessary unpleasantness when you fix the wiring and repaired the water heater we'll pay the rent but not before that told him at least we know Eddie can't have sent the flowers you know what I think he must have been mad Oh perhaps you'd better call him could you do it please [Music] is that you Matt it's Ali sorry Ali there was something funny with the line I know this is a bit of an odd question but did you sing some flowers to chain this morning will she do it what it was all on the note there was no note oh no it must have fallen off I want her to sing with us sing with you well with the band we need a singer and when we heard Jane the other night we thought well I thought she was brilliant did you so did I you know something that's a really nice idea I'll have a word with her about it thanks Ellie you're a star bye Matt how about trying something that could really change your life [Music] I can't believe this it's crazy you know he's my job if I get caught Eddie's the real criminal not us probably go to prison but if we don't find the contract I'll never be able to pay you back all your money so let's get started how are we gonna Quine a contract in all this lot it's like looking for a needle in a haystack I know have you got it already [Music] so wonder what to say to you once they've offered you the job in New York that's right they emailed me this morning and went to know how soon [Applause] [Music] what the hell are you doing in here legally it's called breaking and entering who do you think you are a lawyer that's right and I'm representing Matt and Simon I wouldn't do that if I were you if you call the police I'll have to show them this mr. ahsha or should I say mr. Pym or mr. De Quincey or Senor Hector Fernandez no the contract for the band isn't very favorable to my clients I wonder if I might suggest one or two changes David are you okay it couldn't be better listen Eddie's agreed to make changes to the contract has he cancelled the gig no the gigs fine also he's going to be doing some repairs to Jane's flat all you need now is a singer a what a singer yeah I'm working on it good the only concession Eddie wasn't prepared to make was that the lead singer could be you sorry catch you later bye yeah bye Matt would you mind telling us what's going on [Music] I've been dreaming of this chain I always knew you'd come back to me hi oh hi more things Oh fine listen can we meet up later I don't know I'm not quite sure what I'm doing the thing is I really need to talk to you and we never really got a chance the other day what with Matt's unexpected arrival we could talk now yeah I'm sorry I can't right now I've got to go to the office on a Saturday there's loads of stuff I need to sort out you know for the move back to New York they're really putting the under pressure to leave as soon as possible right anyway do you think we can meet up later say about 8:00 well you can try don't worry I will I'd like to take you out for dinner [Music] [Music] I've been thinking oh no really what are you going to do about the band don't you start I've already been sent this he's a bit desperate isn't he wouldn't you be the geeks in ten hours you've got to let him know I will I will be awful to let him down and it isn't just him there's Simon there's Helen she's doing everything she can even David's helping out and for no money why don't you sing with them you know the songs and you've got a fabulous voice what have you got to lose you know what the problem is I just don't want Matt getting the wrong idea anyway bill wants to take me out for dinner tonight it's funny how people think bad news and food go together I really think you should give Matt a break doesn't he deserve it deserve it he's put such a lot of effort into this band and he's tried so hard to put your relationship behind him he isn't trying it on I'm sure of it he doesn't want to get back together with you you seem to know an awful lot about Matt all of a sudden well we've talked about it that's all [Applause] [Music] [Music] one two one two it's great to see but you're a bit early for the gig I know I was just wondering if there's anything I could do to help that's really nice of you I want it to go well is there any news about Jane [Music] she's not coming is she she must have decided to go out to dinner with bill okay Matt it's down to you [Music] everybody gather round everybody could anyone tell me what's going on you're just warming up where's your singer she couldn't make it couldn't make it I've invited important people from the business I've signed a contract that gives away nearly all my rights and now you're telling me you haven't even got a singer you're not singing that noway contract clearly stipulates that you are not going to sing with the band am I right or am i right from a strictly contractual point of view you're right Eddie we're on in a few minutes [Music] Jane I really care about you you're the best thing that's happened to me in a long time and I don't want to lose you well I'm not the one who's going to New York you can come with me what well I don't mean I don't know what I mean but there must be a way we can make this work please I'm so sorry I really ought to ask this what's happened and now let me introduce to you the one and only broken heart featuring Eddie you've got to be joking they didn't have a choice wait a moment I need to talk to bill what's going on is it the gig yes it's a disaster I've really got to go and sing okay we can sort this out later Ali I'm coming [Music] only you know what love you so baby [Music] oh my god I'm gonna live because if I got the cash was all babies [Music] now did you in a video make it well to know [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] what's up what's going on sorry Edea change of plan what's she doing here the contract clearly stipulate that the band can choose its own singer provided it's not mad come on Eddie you know make sense break a leg you better be good those boys have got a damn good deal out of me [Music] on the float shitless oceans I did all my best to smile [Music] singing eyes and fingers to [Music] sale to me to me let me [Music] here [Music] waiting [Music] I dream you dream the No [Music] leaving [Applause] [Music] [Music] Oh as the oyster [Music] here [Music] Here I am [Music] grazie [Music] [Applause]
