FLETCHER: You don't! Why not?
FRANK: Oh, I don't know.
FLETCHER: Sure you do, but you don't want to tell me.
FRANK: You're a smart kid. I'll tell you. One time I was stuck on a boat with some people for four months.
FLETCHER: A lifeboat?
FRANK: Nope. A big white yacht. Do you know what a yacht is?

SPECTOR: Look. Frank, I know what you're saying. I know you want to do what's best
for her. I understand that. You have a job to do here. But you have to
understand that Rachel has a job to do too. And that's what she's doing - out
there. She's working, Frank. That's what she does and that's where she does it.
She's hot right now. This is the time for her. If she doesn't get out there,
she's dead. Forget about crazy death threats, if she doesn't sing, she's
dead anyway... Look, handled properly, this thing could be good for a
million dollars' worth of free publicity.
