(Daisy Ridley:)
I really need this job.
(Barbra Streisand:)
Not more than I do. Believe me. Hi, I'm Shelia. What's your name?
(Daisy Ridley:)
Phoebe. And this is Maggie.
(Barbra Streisand:)
Hi, Maggie.
(Anne Hathaway:)
Hi.
(Barbra Streisand:)
Hi.
(Anne Hathaway:)
Gosh, there's a lot of people here.
(Barbra Streisand:)
Yeah, it's a cattle call.
(Daisy Ridley:)
But you'll get the job for sure, Maggie. You're so pretty.
(Anne Hathaway:)
Haha! Oh believe me looks are overrated. Just a different set of problems.
(Auditoner:)
Okay ladies. Line up. We'll start with you. You. Number 24.
(Barbra Streisand:)
My name is Sheila. What do you wanna know?
(Auditioner:)
Why don't you tell me why you're in this business?
(Barbra Streisand:)
I wanted to be a ballet dancer. What else?
The light, by the way, is a very funny color. Do you have anything softer?
(Auditioner:)
Don't-don't worry about the lights.
(Barbra Streisand:)
It's very harsh.
(Auditioner:)
So tell me, do you always come on like this?
(Barbra Streisand:)
No. Sometimes I'm aggressive.
(Auditioner:)
Just-just bring it down.
(Barbra Streisand:)
Bring what down?
(Auditioner:)
Your attitude, miss.
(Barbra Streisand:)
It's Sheila.
(Auditioner:)
Okay, Sheila. Why don't you tell me about your parents.
(Barbra Streisand:)
My parents?
(Auditioner:)
Yeah.
(Barbra Streisand:)
Well, my mother was a ballerina until my father made her quit.
(Auditioner:)
Really?
(Barbra Streisand:)
Really.
(Auditioner:)
Am9
Tell me more.
(Barbra Streisand:)
Tell you more?
Am9
Daddy always thought that he married beneath him
Am7 Em7sus4
That's what he said, that's what he said

When he proposed he informed my mother

He was probably her very last chance
Dm7 Am7
And though she was twenty-two
Gm7 Am7
Though she was twenty-two
Gm7 A9
Though she was twenty-two
D9
She married him
Fmaj7
Life with my dad wasn't ever a picnic

Fmaj7
When I was five I remember my mother
Em7
Dug earrings out of the car
Fm7/Bb
I knew they weren't hers, but it wasn't
Gm7/Eb
Something you'd want to discuss

And what's your story?
(Daisy Ridley:)
I don't know what you mean.
(Auditioner:)
Okay. On the subject of mothers what about yours?
(Daisy Ridley:)
My mother?
(Auditioner:)
Am9
Yes, yours.
(Daisy Ridley:)
She lied to me.
(Auditioner:)
She lied to you?
(Daisy Ridley:)
Am9
Mother always said I'd be very attractive
Am7 Em7sus4
When I grew up, when I grew up
Am9
"Diff'rent, " she said, "With a special something
Am7 A9
And a very, very personal flair."
Dm7 Am7
And though I was eight or nine
Bbmaj7 Am7
Though I was eight or nine
Gm7 A9
Though I was eight or nine
D9
I hated her
Fmaj7
Now, "Diff'rent" is nice, but it sure isn't pretty
Em7
"Pretty" is what it's about
Fmaj7
I never met anyone who was "diff'rent"
Em7
Who couldn't figure that out
Fmaj7 Am9
So beautiful I'd never lived to see
Fmaj7sus4 Fmaj7 Fmaj7sus4 Fmaj7 Am9
But it was clear If not to her Well then to me

Alright, Number Six.
(Anne Hathaway:)
Dm11 G/D Dsus4 D
Number Six that's me, Maggie. Can I tell you about my parents?
G Am/G
I don't know what they were for or against, really, except each other
Gmaj7 C/G
I mean, I was born to save their marriage
G Am/G
But when my father came to pick my mother up at the hospital he said
Gmaj7
"Well, I thought this was going to help
Gmaj7
But I guess it's not."
Gm7 C/G
Anyway, I did have a fantastic fantasy life
Ebmaj7 A7b5-9
I used to dance around the living room with my arms up like this
C#9/D# C# G#7sus4/C# G#7/C
My fantasy was that it was an Indian Chief
G#7sus4/C# G#7/C C#9/D# C#
And he'd say to me: "Maggie, do you wanna dance?"
G#7sus4/C# G#7/C
And I'd say, "Daddy, I would love to dance."
C#m9
