Vanessa, Joe and others in “Unfinished Business”

Vanessa

Why do you keep coming here? Nothing good ever happens in this terrible place.

Joe

- I just need to be close to you.

Vanessa

- No, you need to forget me. Try, Dade. Pretend I never existed.

Joe

Around all you feel can I but. I just said it backwards.

Cut!

Joe

I can feel you all around. I can feel you all around! See, I can say it. (tells Mona)

(sighs) What about a treat? Let me see, what have I got in my pocket here? I've got some mints, a lipstick. I've got the number of the guy I rear-ended this morning.

Joe

- I think I'm past treats.

- Okay, so what can we do?

Joe

- Maybe you hired the wrong guy.

- I don't make mistakes. I saw you onstage and you were electric! I'm 25 and you made me feel like I'm 12.

Joe

- 25?

- Shh! Joe, you've sang in front of thousands of people And made them feel everything you wanted to. Bring that guy here, all right? Find your inner rock star. You can do it.

Joe

Okay, I'll try.

Cue effects! Music! And action!

Vanessa

Why do you keep coming here? Nothing good ever happens in this terrible place.

Joe

- I just need to be close to you.

Vanessa

- No, you need to forget me. Try, Dade. Pretend I never existed.

And cut! Rock star Joe, welcome to my movie.

Kevin

That's awesome. See that actor? That's my brother.

Joe

- How was that?

- That was great. That was amazing! Now do you think you can say your lines As well as you sang them in that song?

Joe

- Definitely.

- All right, let's go again.
