That Frank [1994 Off-Broadway]

Stephen Sondheim

I said, "Frank, this picture is a watershed-"

I said, "Frank, one day you'll run my studio-"

I said, "Frank, will you listen to that response?"

I said, "Frank really knows what the public wants"

I said, "Frank, this picture is a watershed-"

Know what I'm having?

What?

Not much fun

Oh

Party!

That Frank-

The guy is too much-

Hey, the party's inside!

That Frank-

You like the picture?

The platinum touch

How about some Champagne, huh?

He has taste, he has talent-

Is he the best?

Plus a fine head for business

The man is blessed

That Frank!

So what do you do?

He's full of advice

I drink

That Frank -

No, no, no, what do you really do?

And God, is he nice!

I really drink

What a friend-

What a host-

And his work is great

Has a wife who is gorgeous-

A son who's straight

He's the type you could easily learn to hate
That Frank!

Who says, "Lonely at the top?"
I say, "Let it never stop!"
It's our time
Coming through
All our dreams
Coming true
Working hard
Getting rich
Being happy-
There's a switch!

That smile-

Don't you miss writing music?

He's hot but he's cool

That was the old Frank Shepard

What style-

This guy's the American dream!

And what a great pool!

If you had no idea what charisma meant-

And you just can't be jealous, he's such a gent-

He's the kind of a man that you can't resent
That Frank!

I said "Frank, you're coming down to Mexico-"

I think Frank is moving back to Paramount-

These are the movers
These are the shapers
These are the people
That fill the papers

Mexico-

These are the friends of Frank

Moving back to Paramount-

Each one a perfect blank

When you see a movie that successful
What can you say?

Congratulations!

Thank you!

These are the movers
These are the shapers
These are the people
That give you vapors-

Twenty years ago, who'd have guessed
Who'd have guessed
We'd be standing here?
God, we would have been so impressed!
Now we're here with the most-

Mexico-

-Brilliant minds on the coast

Moving back to Paramount-

And notice who is their host

Mexico-

Beautiful, Frank!

Acapulco, Mexico-

Beautiful, Frank!

When you've made a movie that successful
Where do you go?

Uh-Paramount

I heard a reliable rumor that you're selling the Malibu house?

Ah, you don't want it Place doesn't even have a pool

No pool?! In my rat's hole in New York
The john is terminally busted and the kitchen should be condemned
But no pool?! Trash it!

Let's have some coffee, Mary

Poor Frank-

I never drink coffee

He handled that well

Caffeine isn't good for you

That Frank-

I'm aware this is just a formula picture

He's loyal as hell

But my next movie-you wait

I gave up waiting

He's polite and considerate, rain or shine

It began when I tasted communion wine-

That Frank

Who says, "Mustn't go too far"?
I say, "Look at where we are!"
It's our time
Coming through
I say, "Good-
Me and you"
I say, "Roll!"
I say, "Ride!"
I say, "Hey, there's food inside!"

That Frank!

Your movie was fun!

You'd think he'd relax

It's what the public wants

Not Frank-

Frank understands commercial!

He's laying new tracks

And Frank made a star!

If you had no idea what charisma meant-
And you just can't be jealous, he's such a gent-
He's the kind of a man could be President
That Frank!
That Frank!
That Frank!

That Frank!
