The Monkees1966

Drehdal:
Do you say you boys were looking for a job? [the Monkees all shake their heads no] Well, why didn't you say so? You, you know how to pick up a telephone?

Peter:
Yes, yes I do. [Peter picks up a phone that didn't ring, and holds the phone upside down on his ear] Hello, hello? This one's broken.

Drehdal:
Boys, I'll make you a deal. You stay here and take care of my phones, I'll pay the regular salary and I'll throw in something extra. What do you say?

Mike:
[All of the boys, speak the same time] Hold it, hold it. Wait, we can't do this, we're musicians.

Drehdal:
Great. You can listen to the dial tone. [She laughs and so does Micky, but then the boys start heading toward the door] Hey, wait a minute. Where ya goin'?

Mike:
Um, well we were going to talk it over.

Drehdal:
Talk, talk. What's to talk about? Don't you realize what you can do here? You can feel the warm heart of this cruel world. [the Monkees start to see her as the Statue of Liberty with her wearing a purple dress and a telephone on her torch] The ideas of the very things that happens and you can be part of it. The city will be in your fingers. Come answer the phone.

Peter:
[All of the Monkees are crying] I don't want to be a murderer. [Drehdal looks confused and you stop seeing her as the "Statue of Liberty."]

Mike:
We'll do it. We'll do it!

Drehdal:
Good! Oh, I forgot to mention. In order to bring this cruelness in the world, don't get involved with the clients. Alright, which one of you will go first?

Mike:
[Al of the Monkees speak at the same time] Hold it, hold it. We'll just check our fingers. [He looks at his] Ooh-la-la! I guess that means I have the city in my fingertips.

Peter:
How come Mike always wins?

Micky:
He's got six fingers on that hand.

Davy:
Look Mike, maybe we'll check in with you later, ok? Goodbye, Mrs. Drehdal.

Drehdal:
Bye boys. [the other Monkees leave]

Mike:
Well, got to get to work. Ooh, this is going to be fine and look a never ending sea of telephones. [Drehdal and Mike talk at the same time] It's a wonderful place you got here.

Drehdal:
Well, now that you guys are firm, I can go to Jamaica with a free mind.

Mike:
Jamaica?

Drehdal:
That's right, honey.

Mike:
Wait! You have to tell me how to work this thing.

Drehdal:
Well, nothing can be easier. The phone rings ding-a-ling-a-ling. You plug it in the hole. You answer it, you write down the message. When the client calls you give them the message. What can be easier?

Mike:
Going to Jamaica. Well, hold it.

Drehdal:
Yeah?

Mike:
I just noticed this red button on the wall. It's a button and it's on a wall. What's it for?

Drehdal:
Push it if you get tired. Bye-bye, honey!
