Welcome To Hollywood

[LANDLORD, spoken]
Kit, Vivian, I know you're in there! You're late with the rent again! Three hundred bucks, I need it now!
[VIVIAN, spoken]
Uh, just a second! I'm getting dressed!
[LANDLORD, spoken]
Don't stall me, do you have it or don't you?
[VIVIAN, spoken]
Uh, hang on, I just need a moment to tidy up a little, we weren't expecting company.

[LANDLORD, spoken]
Open up, open up! Give me the rent or I'm kicking you out! You got three seconds to open this door or I'm bustin' in. One, two-- Vivian!!

[HAPPY MAN, spoken]
Welcome to Hollywood. What's your dream? Everyone who comes to Hollywood's got a dream
(sung)
Tell me, what's your dream? I know you got one
It's like a map to your life, you'll be lost until you've caught one
Look at her, she's got dreams of her own deep inside
How do I know? It's my job, I'm your guy
So stick with me and you'll see where this is going
You'll hear the city's heartbeat in every square of concrete
Come follow me now, welcome to Hollywood.

[PHIL, spoken]
Edward. Edward, where you going?
[EDWARD, spoken]
Ask my driver to bring the limo around
[MAN #1, spoken]
Yes, sir
[EDWARD, spoken]
Phil, I've got to get back to work. We've got six days before the board meeting and I want the Moore Shipping deal closed by then
[PHILIP, spoken]
It will be! Why don't you stay for the Hollywood Bowl fireworks? You've got a perfect view
[EDWARD, spoken]
I'm going, give me your car keys.

[PHILIP, spoken]
Are you sure? It's a brand new 1989 Lotus. Do you know how to drive a stick? Please, don't scratch it.

[ENSEMBLE]
Huh, huh, huh, huh
Welcome to Hollywood.

[PHILIP]
Look at him, he's rich, he thinks he's winning
He needs to learn his journey's just beginning
His childhood hopes all shattered
Now money's all that matters
Yeah, he's lost his way
Welcome to Hollywood.

[MAN #2, spoken]
Okay, everyone, back away, give them room
[WOMAN, spoken]
What happened? What happened?
[MAN #3, spoken]
Cops pulled a body out of the dumpster, looks like a hooker
[WOMAN, spoken]
Who is it? Is she dead?

[EDWARD]
There's danger on the street, it's all around you
But never fear, let hope and fate surround you
Take care of each other, I promise one day
The stars on the sidewalk will show you the way
Don't give up until your dreams have found you.

[EDWARD & ENSEMBLE]
We welcome your arrival
We wish you well
Survival's the name of the game.

[KIT]
Welcome to Hollywood
[ENSEMBLE]
In bright neon light you can party all night here in Hollywood
[KIT]
Hollywood
[EDWARD]
Hollywood.

[KIT & EDWARD]
Yeah
[ENSEMBLE]
Things will be fine 'cause the sun's always shining in Hollywood
[KIT]
Hollywood
[EDWARD]
Hollywood
[KIT]
I live for today, not a care, come what may
Here in
[KIT & ENSEMBLE]
Hollywood
[KIT]
I love it
[KIT & EDWARD]
You love it
[KIT, EDWARD & COMPANY]
We love it, oh
Me and my friends, yeah, the fun never ends here in Hollywood

[KIT & EDWARD]
Hollywood.

[VIVIAN, spoken]
Kit, is this what you did with the rent money?
[KIT, spoken]
Oh, hey, uh, angel, you know my roommate Vivian, and that's Carlos
[VIVIAN, spoken]
Yeah, I know everybody. You took it while I was sleeping
[KIT, spoken]
Well, you were unavailable for consultation. Oh, relax, Viv, you worry too much.

[MAN #4, spoken]
Fun is just starting!
[MAN #5, spoken]
Come join the party, bro.

[VIVIAN, spoken]
I don't want to join the party. Kit, the landlord busted in our apartment yelling. If we don't find $300 tonight, he's kicking us out.

[EDWARD (ENSEMBLE)]
Hopes and dreams are what this town is made of
So give it a shot, you got nothing to be afraid of
You'll see me here and you'll see me there (we all got hopes)
You just might see me everywhere.

[EDWARD & ENSEMBLE]
But first, you must believe
Yes, you must believe
If you just believe
You'll see the love we're sending
With every happy ending.

[EDWARD]
This, I will promise
[EDWARD & ENSEMBLE]
Welcome to Hollywood.
