The scene begins at the end of chapter 4, page 69 (no comment),with Lucious Marshall saying “Dazzle me” to Frances Allard. He goes on to convince her to waltz with him in an empty assembly room while she provides the music … by humming.

The one where they chick demands they put pants on the hedgehog cracks me up. LOL! Sorry, slightly off topic.

I think it's much more a result of good organization and good collaboration. Lots of room for blame. We only get to blame ourselves! Yeah, it also takes a village to ruin a movie!

In that case, I'll just blame my CP if my description isn't all it can be. *LOL* So you’re playing “it takes a village to raise a movie”–gotcha.

Grant it, the director puts it together, but there's more collaboration and delegation. For us as writers, it's all on us.

And what Bo'sun said: that it's supposed to be in the background, you're not supposed to notice it IF it's doing its job. You should only notice if it's clunky or if it's absent.

I think so. And what Bo’sun said: that it’s supposed to be in the background, you’re not supposed to notice it IF it’s doing its job. You should only notice if it’s clunky or if it’s absent.

Suddenly makes sense for all those musicals where the pig farmer bursts into song and dances on the wooden fence. Everything you do has meaning when you put it to music. I'm sure this all ties somehow to our primitive selves. Listened to one while waiting in the airport once and it gave me the strangest feeling.
