Fletcher:
Your parents musicians?

Andrew:
No.

Fletcher:
What do they do?

Andrew:
My, uh, dad's a writer.

Fletcher:
Oh, what's he written?

Andrew:
Uh, I guess he's more of a teacher, really.

Fletcher:
Oh. College?

Andrew:
Pennington High School.

Fletcher:
What about your mother, what does she do?

Andrew:
I don't know, she left when I was a baby.

Fletcher:
So no musicians in the family. [Andrew shakes his head] Well, you've just got to listen to the greats then. Buddy Rich, Jo Jones. You know, Charlie Parker became Bird because Jones threw a cymbal at his head. See what I'm saying?

Andrew:
Mm-hm.

Fletcher:
Listen, the key is to just relax. Don't worry about the numbers, don't worry about what the other guys are thinking. You're here for a reason. You believe that, right?

Andrew:
Yeah.

Fletcher:
Say it.

Andrew:
I'm here for a reason.

Fletcher:
Cool. All right, man. Have fun.
