You Should Be In That Lyrics – The Battery's Down Cast

You Should Be In That Text

---

MOLLY (Spoken)
So what do you do?

JAKE (Spoken)
I'm an actor...

MOLLY (Spoken)
Anything I've ever seen? I'm sort of a movie snob.

JAKE (Spoken)
No, actually I'm in the theatre.

MOLLY (Spoken)
Oh my god! I love the theatre! Anything I've ever seen?

JAKE (Spoken)
No... I... don't have a job...

MOLLY (Sung)
Oh. My. God.
Have you seen Phantom of the Opera?
It's, like, my all time favorite show

JAKE (Spoken)
Oh yeah?

MOLLY
It's all about this phantom
And he hangs out at the opera
And it's, like, wicked scary...

JAKE (Spoken)
Yeah, I know...

MOLLY
Do you sing really high
'Cause if you sing really high
I bet you'd land that part in no time flat
You could be in that
You'd be great in that
You know something?
You should be in that

JAKE (Spoken)
You know, it really doesn't work that way. It's a little more complicated than just singing really high. Otherwise Broadway
would just be filled with Castrati!

MOLLY (Spoken)
What?

JAKE (Spoken)
Nevermind.

MOLLY (Sung)
Oh. My. God.
Have you ever seen the musical Cats?

JAKE (Spoken)
What?

MOLLY
It's by, like, the very same guy

JAKE (Spoken)
Yeah, I know...

MOLLY
It's all about these cats
And this giant frickin' trash
You should be in that

JAKE
I'd rather die.

MOLLY
I bet you dance really well
Because you walk like a girl
You have to dance well to be a Cat
You could be in that
You'd be great in that
You know, really
You should be in that

JAKE (Sung)
No, listen
Believe it or not
Cats isn't held in the highest esteem
What I really want is to originate a part
To craft a role with the creative team
To be the first to dance the combinations
Eligible to be up for all sorts of nominations
I mean, seriously
That's my dream!

MOLLY
Oh. My. God.
Have you seen the show The One That I Want?
It's, like, the only way you want to get cast!

JAKE (Spoken)
Is that so?

MOLLY
You show up and you sing
And they put you on TV
And then Broadway, it's, like, super fast
Just get a gimmick that's cool
You could be Scattin' Danny
Be all "Greased Lightnin'! Skee Dop Skat!"
You could be in that
You'd be great in that
You know something?
You should be in that

JAKE (Sung)
So, listen
I just remembered, I have a thing
With a friend, I can't believe I forgot

MOLLY (Spoken)
Uhh...

JAKE
So, I gotta run. I'm sad to see this end
But you know how friends are
They're like, well, you know!
This guy's emotions, they're really unsteady
I should have left some time ago
And been with him already
So, seriously -- I gotta go!

MOLLY (Sung)
Oh. My. God.
Have you ever seen the Tony Awards?

JAKE (Spoken)
Take care.

MOLLY
You should, like, totally check them out

JAKE (Spoken)
Great to see ya!

MOLLY
They're all about the theatre
But they show them on TV
Which makes them WAY better!

JAKE (Spoken)
What are you talking about!?

MOLLY
You have to lose 10 pounds
Because they say TV makes you way more fat...

JAKE (Spoken)
Right... bye.

MOLLY
You could be in that
You'd be great in that
You know something?
You should be in that

(Rest is spoken)

JAKE
Right. Thank you. Gotta go. Bye!

MOLLY
Oh, that's ok. I'm off to a party.

JAKE
Oh good. Have fun!

MOLLY
Yeah, it's at my friend Bernie Telsi's?

JAKE
The theatrical casting agent?

MOLLY
He works in theatre? I always thought when he said he was a casting agent, he meant he was a professional papier mache
artist... Huh... Bye!
