What did you do to my voice?
It's not... It's not done totally.
Yeah. Well, I fucking hope not.
This is what music Sounds like now...
Miss Grant.
Why would you invent a whole new voice for me
When you know that I can give you
whatever you could possibly want
with the voice that I already have?

What is this? Rehearsal?
No, it's real.
It's life.
Does that change your response?
Do you hate that I manipulated your voice,
or the words that I put in your mouth?
Your voice is sick.
Everybody knows that.
But you came crawling to me, remember?
To help you remake your career.
I can't handle this.
This feels like a lie.
That's because you don't believe as much as I do
that this could actually be you.
This beautiful, sexy popstar.
Don't you remember the work that we did together?
When all I wanna do is forget?
No, no. I'm talking about the label meetings,
and the publicists, and the stylists,
and the songwriting.
Oh, you know, and I was talking about--
No, nevermind.
So you were talking about Emily.
Oh, why would you care?
You left me, so...
No, you left me.
And for the president of the label.
Oh, please. She's fucking the girl in A&R.
How little we know of each other.
What, is that a new lyric?
Maybe. Yeah.
How little we can know of the lives of those around us.
Oh, you know, you talk like an idiot.
Some might say a poet.
Yeah. Well, I wish you'd talk like a man.
What are you doing?
Pig.
I'm making you feel hot.
I don't need you to make me feel hot.
There is a record store on Broadway
with a countdown to the release of this single.
Because people are excited
to see you crush pop music.
No, they are waiting for me to fail.
What if I don't live up to the expectation?
Baby...
You started out as an actor, right?
Yeah.
Okay, so I promised the label that I could
drill the performance of a lifetime into you.
So, you let me drill.
With your stupid song?
Some might say genius.

love can't be proven. Isn't that what you're always saying?
Well...
Anyway, it's...
better than singing some stupid pop song.
Well...
Good thing you get to sing a genius one.
I lied before.
The president of the label isn't fucking the girl from A&R,
'cause she's fucking me.
