George Hearn - This Time Next Year lyrics

[ARTIE, spoken] Hey, Gillis! We'd give you up. Let me take your coat. Jesus, Joe, what's this made of? Mink? Who did you borrow this from? Adolphe Menjou? [JOE, spoken] Close, but no cigar. Hey! It's quite a crowd [ARTIE, spoken] I invited all the kids doing walk-ons in "Samson and Delilah" [BETTY, spoken] Where have you been hiding? I called your apartment. I called your ex-agent. I was about to call the Bureau of Missing Persons [JOE, spoken] Well, they always know where to find me [RICHARD A] You gotta say your New Year's resolution out loud Jean! [JEAN] By this time next year I'll have landed a juicy part [STEVE] Nineteen fifty will be my start [RICHARD T] No more carrying spears [MARY] I'll be discovered My life won't ever be the same Billy Wilder will know my name And he'll call all the time [KATHERINE] 'Til he does, can one of you guys lend her a dime? [ALISA] Just an apartment With no roaches and no dry rot [ANITA] Where the hot water comes out hot [BOTH] That's my Hollywood dream [RICHARD A] Your resolution [JOANNA] Is to write something that gets shot With approximately the plot I first had in my head [MYRON] But you'll get rewritten even after you're dead [RICHARD A, spoken] Artie! [ARTIE] It's the year to begin a new life Buy a place somewhere quiet, somewhere pretty When you have a young kid and a wife Then you need somewhere green, far from the city It's a rambling old house with a big apple tree With a swing for the kid and a hammock for me [SAMMY] Behold, my children It is I, Cecil B. DeMille Meeting me must be quite a thrill [ADAM] But there's no need to kneel [SAMMY] I guarantee you Every girl in my chorus line Is a genuine Philistine [SANDY] They don't come off the shelf [SAMMY] I flew every one in from Philistia myself [BETTY] I have some good news It's "Blind Windows" [JOE] You don't let go [BETTY] I gave Sheldrake an outline, Joe And he swallowed the bait [JOE] Well, hallelujah! [BETTY] While you've been buying vicuna coats I've been making a lot of notes Now there's work we should do [JOE] Betty, you're forgetting that I gave it to you You remind me of me long ago Off the bus, full of ignorant ambition Thought I'd waltz into some studio And achieve overnight recognition I've seen too many optimists sinking like stones Felt them s** all the marrow clean out of my bones [BETTY] I love "Blind Windows" But I can't write it on my own Can't we speak on the telephone? All my evenings are free [ARTIE] Hey, just a minute I'm the fellow who bought the ring [BETTY] Artie, this is a business thing It's important to me You'll be on location in Clinch, Tennessee Please make this your New Year's resolution for me [ALL] By this time next year I will get my foot in the door Next year I know I'm going to score An amazing success Cut to the moment When they open the envelope Pa** the statuette to Bob Hope And it's my name you hear We'll be down on our knees Outside Grauman's Chinese Palm prints there on the street Immortality's neat This time next year This time next year We'll have nothing to fear Contracts all signed Three-picture deal Yellow brick road career Hope we're not still saying these things This time next year [JOE, spoken] You know, I think I will be available in the New Year. In fact, I'm available right now [BETTY, spoken] Joe, that's great! [JOE, spoken] Hey, Artie, where's your phone? [ARTIE, spoken] Under the bar [JOE, spoken] Hey, Artie. You think you could put me up for a couple of weeks? [ARTIE, spoken] It just so happens we've got a vacancy on the couch [JOE, spoken] I'll take it [MAX, spoken] Yes? [JOE, spoken] Max, it's Mr. Gillis. I want you to do me a favor [MAX, spoken] I'm sorry, Mr. Gillis. I can't talk right now [JOE, spoken] Listen, I want you to take my old suitcases - [MAX, spoken] I'm sorry, I am attending to Madame [JOE, spoken] What do you mean? [MAX, spoken] Madame found the razor in your room. And she's cut her wrists [ALL] Three, two, one, Happy New Year! Should auld acquiantance be forgot And never brought to mind Should auld acquiantance be forgot And days of auld lang syne For auld lang syne, my dear For auld lang syne
