CHRISTINE
You know, your show comes from just off Broadway --- you ought to do more Broadway songs ---- My sister, you know, is a big-time Broadway composer/arranger/music director----
GK
Which sister is that?
NADIA
What? You thought I was a church organist? You thought I was a SOCIAL WORKER??? C'mon.....
GK:
We do Broadway songs----
CHRISTINE
Here's one you haven't----
TRIO (SINGS)
O-ho a Prairie Home Companion it is always there
O let us sing a song of praise
O-ho a Prairie Home Companion it went on the air
Long before my childhood days
CHRISTINE
I remember the pianist Richard Dworsky
DANIELA
And I recall Tim Russell and Sue Scott
NADIA
And the Sound Effects by Mr. Newman
CHRISTINE
It sounded like an elephant but it was not.
ALL (SING)
O-ho the Prairie Home Companion it is on the air
Every Saturday the same
CHRISTINE
It can be funny
DANIELA
Or touching
NADIA
Or even exciting
GK
What about the-
ALL
What about the---
Yes, indeed, the whatchamacallit
CHRISTINE
The announcer
ALL
The guy who sings the theme song
ALL
What's his name?
GK
Thanks. I get the point. The show is passe. We're a back issue.
CHRISTINE
Maybe you need to think younger. There are a lot of people out there younger than you. People in their fifties and sixties.
GK
Ouch.
CHRISTINE w DIGIs
A show should be live with the latest music
But you've been around for a thousand years
And most of the songs are from the Sixties
There are other songs we'd like hear
NADIA
You do not sing U2 or Prince,
You do not know Beyonce.
I'm all in favor of classics and yet
The Beatles are Yesterday.
DANIELA
You seem to be in a time machine
In space without a date
As if Walter Cronkite were still on hand
To talk about Watergate
DANIELA
I go to my room when my heart is lonely
And there I am happy, all alone
And there I thrill to the sound of music
On my iPhone.
(SPOKEN)
You get my point?
GK----
I do. Unfortunately. So what kind of music should we be doing?
DANIELA
Ever hear of Taylor Swift?
GK
My daughter is a big fan of hers.
DANIELA
Get Taylor Swift and your show could go on and on and on.
GK
With an 85-year-old host.
DANIELA
It's radio. You sound younger than you look.
CHRISTINE
You sound 61.
