Barbra: Look, I've spent a lot of time working on this
Producer 1: Look, no one's gonna buy it -- no one.
Producer 2: No one in Middle America, anyway. That's for sure.
Producer 3: He's right!
Producer 1: Sweetheart, it's just not commercial!
Barbra: What is commercial?
Producer 2: It's not what's selling nowadays.
Producer 1: I mean - personally, I love it, but
Barbra (sung):Be nice, girl!
Producer 3: Nobody's into this kind of material.
Barbra (sung): You have to pay a price, girl!
Producer 2: This album needs a hit single we can push.
Barbra (sung):They like to give advice, girl!
Producer 1: The whole idea's too risky.
Barbra (sung): Don't think about it twice, girl!
Producer 2: The audience won't understand this kind of thing!
Barbra (sung):It's time to get to work!
Barbra(spoken): I disagree! Why don't you wait until you hear it?
Producer 3: This is like your old stuff!
Barbra (sung): Art isn't easy.
Producer 3: You've got to appeal to the kids.
Barbra (sung): Even when you're hot.
Producer 2: Why would you want to make an album like this anyway?
Barbra (sung): Advancing art is easy.
Producer 1: I think we ought to talk seriously about this.
Barbra (sung): Financing it is not!
Producer 2: Why take chances?
Barbra (sung): A vision's just a vision if it's only in your head!
Producer 1: Nobody respects your artistic integrity more than I do, but
Barbra (sung): If no one gets to hear it, it's as good as dead!
Producer 2: You have to think about you career!
Barbra (sung): It has to come to life!
Barbra (sung): Bit by bit, putting it together
Piece by piece, only way to make a work of art
Every moment makes a contribution
Every little detail plays a parts
Having just a vision's no solution
Everything depends on execution
Putting it together, that's what counts!
Ounce by ounce, putting in together
Small amounts, adding up to
