纵横美国 – 01. Rebecca’s Dream

No! Yes!
You’re wrong. I’m right and you know it.

I have to go. Rebecca, we have to talk.
Not now, Matt. I’ll wait right here till you’re done.

Matt, you don’t have to wait for me. Yes, I do, I’ll be right here.
It’ll be a couple of hours. All right, bye.

Where are you going? The front door is over there. I have to use the employees entrance.

Excuse me, the Gold Room? This way? Thanks. Hi, Steve.

Hello, Rebecca, we’re almost ready. Listen, I need to change. There’s a ladies’ room over there.

I’ll be right back. Hi, Jessica.
How are you? Good.

Hello, Hello. Welcome to the Gold Room. I’m Rebecca Casey and this is Steve Davis.
Here’s a song I wrote, I call it ‘Traveling Light. ‘ Why don’t you wait out in the lobby.

Here’s your share. Twenty . . . thirty . . . forty . . . and five. Forty-five. Good thing I have a day job.

Good thing we both do. We’ll do better next time.

Rebecca, I have something to tell you. There isn’t going to be a next time, for me. What?

I’m tired of this. My wife’s expecting. The bills are piling up. This (waving the cash) isn’t a salary, it’s peanuts.

But, Steve, we’re getting lots of calls . . . We’re playing at a wedding next week. I want to spend my weekends with my wife, not at weddings for people I don’t know.

Steve, you shouldn’t, we’ve worked so hard. You know how I feel . . . It’s always the same old story: no money, no appreciation.

Sorry, Rebecca, but this is it for me. You’ll find another piano player. Bye. Take care of yourself.

So, you’re mad I waited, right? No, I’m not angry.
So, what’s wrong? Steve says he can’t take it anymore.

He’s quitting? Maybe he’s got the right idea. Look, I’m not quitting, I have to find another partner.

Rebecca, you’re banging your head against the wall. You’re never gonna make it in the music business, it’s too tough.

Why are you so negative? I’m realistic.

Look, Matt, success takes time, I’m going to make it. That’s why I’m going to music school.

Music school. . . What am I going to do while you’re in music school? We had a relationship, you know?

We still do. What’s happening to us?

You have two jobs, I have two jobs. You have to take care of your father. There’s no time. I’m sorry, Matt. . . It’s hard to find time.

A real relationship takes time, you know? I know . . . It’s late, I have to be up early for work tomorrow.

All right, I’ll take you home. So, about our date on Thursday? I’ll pick you up at seven, ok?

Sounds good. This is really crazy, Rebecca Casey. Good night, Matt.

Oh, good, it’s here. Welcome to the Boston School of Music, where your musical career begins.

The Boston School of Music has given me everything that I wanted in a school. The Boston School of Music has just been my home.

And, because of that foundation, I’m able to be what I want to be. What’s goin’ on, Beck?

Sorry, is it too loud? A little. Turn it down so you don’t wake up Dad.

The faculty is very high quality, and I think students have some wonderful opportunities. So, are you going to this school?

Yeah, if I get accepted. I’m applying to other colleges, but this is my first choice.
Hey, they are pretty good. Yeah, this school is one of the best.
