A new manager?
Rex: Thank you for sharing your viewpoint, Andrea. But have you worked in the music business for years like Taylor Wang?
Andrea: Of course I haven’t. You know that.
Angus: So what does he expect to be paid for managing the group?
Rex: He said he usually gets half the money a group earns.
Christina: Fifty percent! That’s a lot, isn’t it?
Rex: Not if he helps us reach more people with our music.
Andrea: Rex, what will you do if the group doesn’t accept Taylor as manager?
Rex: Then I may just have to go solo, with Taylor as my manager.
Angus: You wouldn’t do that, would you? You might break up the Sunshine Singers!
Will he stay or will he go?
Rex: Well, of course I’d hate to do that, but…
Angus: “But…” But what, Rex?
Rex: Well, I have my own career to think about.
Andrea: Rex, all the Sunshine Singers have careers to think about. That’s one reason you’re working together as a group. You guys do better together than you could individually.
Rex: I’m not trying to break up the Sunshine Singers, Andrea. I still want to work with them.
Angus: But with us as your backup singers, right?
Rex: Well, yes. Just remember: It’s Taylor Wang’s idea, not mine.
Christina: There’s something fishy about this Taylor Wang. But if you think he can help you be a star, then you should go solo.
Angus: I agree!
Rex: Well, if that’s how you feel, then I’m sorry, but I’m leaving the group. (walks out)
