Dreamgirls In Concert (2001 Concert Cast)

2002

[MARTY, spoken]
Jerry, Jerry! I told you, Effie White is the best singer you're gonna in the country, yes! And you know here in Chicago.
[JERRY, spoken]
She hasn't gone on stage in years. And the last time she did, she fell apart.
[MARTY, spoken]
She just lost her confidence. It happens. She's different now.
[JERRY, spoken]
Marty, I know all about— How many times do we have to go through this? I don't want to see her!
[EFFIE, spoken]
Marty! Sorry, I'm late but the babysitter— the babysitter was late. And then Magic, my little girl, started taking the stereo apart. She's so curious. I swear, she's gonna be an engineer when she grows up.
[JERRY, spoken]
Look, Marty, we don't have to do this.
[MARTY, spoken]
I was just telling Jerry here that you were serious about working. He knows all about you.
[EFFIE, spoken]
Oh, you do, huh? Well, honey, you don't know the half. One night after you hire me we're gonna have to sit down and talk. Did you hear about that time in Philadelphia when I—
[MARTY, spoken]
Uh uh uh uh— Come on, Effie, we don't want to take up too much of the man's time. Carl— Carl knows the song.
[EFFIE, spoken]
Carl? What happened to Bernard?
[MARTY, spoken]
He had a job in Evanston.
[EFFIE, spoken]
But i can't sing with someone I don't know. You know that, Marty.
[MARTY, spoken]
You've got to.
[EFFIE, spoken]
I can't. You know that.
[MARTY, spoken]
Effie, you've got to do this!
[JERRY, spoken]
Marty, I don't have the time.
[MARTY, spoken]
Jerry,Jerry, please! Please. Just give me a minute. Look, you're gonna have to stop making excuses so you don't have to prove anything! You're gonna have to prove it just like the rest of us. I don't know, maybe Curtis was right about you. You are all of the privileges with none of the responsibilities. Hey, listen, Jerry; look man, I'm sorry for wasting your time, uh, thanks anyway.
[EFFIE, spoken]
Marty, Curtis was wrong. Do you know this song?
[JERRY, spoken]
I told you I didn't want to see her!
[EFFIE, spoken]
Well, you are, mister. You are.
