Echo Pie

FZ
Yeah. Herbie's not starving. He makes
More than we do. That's for damn sure
FZ
But he does more than you do. I'm telling you, if he has income and
He, and he lives the way he lives
It's not all coming from your pocket
David
No. But some of it is
FZ
Not enough to be dangerous, I'll tell ya
David
It's not? Where in the hell's all the money going? Make a proposal
FZ
I'll make a proposal to you. If you want to earn more money
That'll mean that you'll have to tour all the time. Now I can't do
That. Think what happens to the name of the group. See what happens?
David
You don't care how... this'll be the first
FZ
You made more fucking money this year than you made for a long time
David
Three months, three months, two months out
Of the year. And, and... but back to back?
FZ
I'm talking about the possibility of, you guys wanna tour without me?
David
What are you saying? You're part of the
Band, you're the main part of the band
FZ
Listen. I can't tour right now. I got too fucking much work to do
In the studio. I got a bunch of stuff that has to be done. Alright?
David
It ain't gonna be the same
FZ
It ain't gonna be the same, but you're gonna
Earn a fucking living, and you can tour
David
Yeah, but what happens to the name of the
Group? You don't care how the group sounds?
FZ
Look. Listen carefully. I'll start again. You get together
And you rehearse. And you compensate for the part that I
Play. You know, give it to the piano, or give it to the
Organ, or put it on the horns or something. Okay? And
Change the things around so you don't need a guitar in there
Bobby
Look, the thing is that we need your mouth and
We need your face in there. That's the thing
David
You're the group, man. You're the group
FZ
Look
Bobby
No, it's, it's not, it's, the thing is, man, is that it, that it's
David
And you know you are
Bobby
That it's been built around you. You made it that way
David
It's been built. For the last three years, it's been
You, man. You're the group. Now how can you expect us
To go off and record without you? I mean, to, to do a
Tour without you? It wouldn't be... you couldn't. FZ
I think they can do it. I think they can do it
David
Oh, we could do it
Bobby
Under a different name
FZ
You don't even have to do it under a different name
You can do it as the Mothers and you can do it without me
David
It won't be the same. I don't know if anybody... they might
Come the first time, but I bet they won't come the second time
FZ
Look. They'll come ten times if the music
Sounds good. And that's up to you to play
David
They come to see you, Frank. That's who they come to see
