Peyton: I think you were right about the act we signed today, her songs blow. So why’d you sign her?

John: How long you been in Los Angeles Peyton? From…?

Peyton: From Tree Hill, North Carolina. Four Years.

John: Four years. Why’d you come?

Peyton: I wanted to discover and sign bands that could change someone’s life, like the bands that changed mine.

John: I figured you were one of them. I used to be too. Then I figured it out. It’s called Show Business for a reason. We’re here to make money.

Peyton: Even if the product sucks.

John: Especially if the product sucks. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but rock and roll can’t actually save the world.

Peyton: See, I disagree. Walk into any club on the strip tonight and just look at the kids. Look into their eyes. I mean they’re all looking for something to believe in and I think that music can be the thing that changes their world.

John: That is why you are still the assistant to the assistant. They’re not out there to get their world saved, they’ve had a bad day. They went out to get drunk and get laid. Peyton, you’re as smart and as talented as anyone at the label, but you’d be so much further along if you could just accept the business side of what we do, and play the game.

Peyton: I’m just not really interested in playing the game.

John: You already did. You dropped a button to get into that meeting. Drop a few more and they’ll probably give you my job.

Peyton: Well I will have your job one day John, just not that way.

John: Have fun in the clubs tonight. Assistant to the assistant.

Hoping that this time, something would speak to me. And it did. It was a great first novel Luke. It brought you to me, but a writers career is about a body of work. It’s about the second book and the third and the fourth.

(Meeting)

John: Okay, lets do lunch. Sawyer! What’s the name of that sushi place I like?

Peyton: You were wrong yesterday. When you said the kids in the clubs were just there for decadence. I think it’s more like romance, and hope, and inspiration. And that feeling that you get when other human beings pick up basic instruments and make sense of your world. And the day that I think it’s just about making money is going to be the day that I’ve betrayed everything I believe in. About music, and life, and myself.
