Every Movie's A Circus

ALL: Every movie's a circus

On the wire without a net

JOANNA: Coffee?

MYRON: I'm up too early

Shooting at seven

I gotta go

ALL: Movies

BOY: What's wrong?

GIRL: Can't get a screen test

Don't you hate it

When a yes-man says no?

ALL: Movies

GIRL: Good part?

BOY: I'm a policeman

"Hands up, punk!"

That's all I say

ACTOR: First time you've worked on the lot there

ACTRESS: I must say R.K.O. are O.K

ALL: Movies

BOY: Then what?

GIRL: He pressed a button

Out of the wall

Fell a four-poster bed

ALL: Movies

MYRON: Busy?

JOANNA: They shot my screenplay

MYRON: Isn't that great?

JOANNA: No, they shot the thing dead

ALL: Every movie's a circus

On the wire without a net

BOY: Lonely?

GIRL: That's how I like it

BOY: Can't you be nice?

GIRL: Why? We're not on the set

ALL: Movies

ARTIE: Hey, Joe

What are you, slumming?

JOE: Here for a meeting

ARTIE: This time of night?

ALL: Movies

JOE: Yeah, it's some studio smartass

You know I'm famous for being polite

ALL: Movies

ARTIE: Guess what?

I'm getting married

JOE: Congratulations

ARTIE: She'll be right back

ALL: Movies

ARTIE: Fact is, we were just leaving

She's been stood up by some uppity hack

ALL: Movies

JOE: Married. Who would have thought it?

Why don't you look happy?

Come on, be brave

ALL: Movies

ARTIE: It's this movie I'm shooting

JOE: You first assistant?

ARTIE: More like a slave

ALL: Every movie's a circus

ARTIE: But this is a circus movie as well

Problems, nothing but problems

Animals, actors

Two kinds of hell

ALL: Every movie's a circus

On the wire without a net

BETTY: Well hello, Mr. Gillis

ARTIE: You two have met?

JOE: I'm the uppity hack

ARTIE: And she's the studio smartass

BETTY: What's going on here?

BARMAN: Artie, they're calling you back

BETTY: I just reread "Blind Windows"

It needs some real re-working, of course

If we fixed up the opening

ARTIE: Call up the wrangler

Pay off the horse
