Partnerships: Lost or Gained
Emilie: Zay have been gone a long while, agree?
Ella: I should say so, it is only 30 degrees out there. Callie must be freezing her skinny butt off.
Emilie: Well, it is cozy in here. Ella, how did your recording session go?
Ella: Okay, it pays the bills. Singing backups for commercials isn't exactly top billing. Better than 'nuthin' right now. Callie's been gone over an hour?

Gerard: No, thank you, we will clean up after ourselves, if you don't mind, we'll be sitting here a while longer.

Colette: I'm getting cold, let's finish this. So, the lease on the studio is for how long? And, how many others will you be representing?
Gerard: Two years, selling my interest in the club in Paris was profitable. I did it just before the pandemic hit. If we had waited to leave, we both would be broke.
Colette: And, my contract will only be for a year with options and opportunities to change the terms. Any bookings for 2022, will not be under the terms of this contract.
Gerard: Agreed.
 |

Colette: Can you keep our arrangement, business only?
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Gerard: Callie, I'm sorry for what happened, I've repaid you all that was owed. I just want to manage your career, for a fresh start. The US is tighter on business practices, I won't let anything get out of hand again.

Colette: I miss the work, the music, the excitement, the audiences, I miss it all, except us. I'm ready to go---have the papers sent to my lawyer, and I will sign for one year, starting January 1st.
I will be singing at the Tree Lighting in the Park on Thursday night. I won't need an accompanist.
Gerard: Anything you say, that's a great idea.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Gerard: (Like everything else in 2020, the past belongs in the dumpster.)What are you going to sing? (He turns around) Man, she's already gone.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Gerard: Not even a good-bye or a thanks for the cocoa, or how we used to be fun. I really miss your smile, goodnight, Miss Deveraux.
