An Opportunity Lyrics

Now just where have you been?

You left us short-handed

During the lunch rush!

I know, I know, I'm sorry. I just

You just what?

Ladies, ladies, can't we

All just...get along?

You're next

Zip it

Gertrude!

Cut the girl some slack

We did just fine

Why don't you come help me

Look over the finances for the month?

I'll deal with you two later

I swear that man is a saint

How in the world could such

A nice man be married to that?

Because he loves her

Sure, they have completely

Different temperaments, but that

Doesn't mean they

Shouldn't be together

For his sake, I hope he outlives her

Oh, stop it

Speaking of which, are

you gonna spill the goods?

What goods?

You know well what

Goods I'm talking about

Jamie Jackson?

AKA Mr. Gorgeous?

What about him?

You two just escaped from

This diner together

Did you tell him all about

Your music career?

What about

No, Dahlia

I never brought it up

I just took him out the back

Door and apologized for

Being an absolute clutz

You were gone an awfully long time

I mean, he was nice

We made small talk and

Then I left the park

That was it

Park?

What park?

You didn't say anything about a park

Don't you have some magazines

To read while you

Neglect the customers?

Clarice, this is important!

What park did you go to?

Central Park!

We went to Central Park

He offered to meet me there

Later but I turned him down

You did what?!

You heard me

I have more important

Things to do tonight

What things could possibly be

More important than meeting

Jamie Jackson at Central Park?

Look, Clarice

When a super hot celebrity

Music producer asks you to

Meet him at Central Park

You meet him at Central Park

Yeah, and why should I?

Isn't it obvious?

What? Look, Dahlia, I

Don't have time for this

Clarice, just please listen

To me this one time

This could be your chance

You could finally get out of

This diner and make

Something of yourself

Where are you going with this?

When Jamie asked to meet

You tonight, did it seem

Like he was asking you on a date?

I don't think so?

I mean...it's not impossible, I guess

But why would he ask me on a date?

Nevermind that

What I'm trying to say is if

He asked you on a date...maybe

You should go along with it

You mean...I should pretend

Like I'm interested in him?

Of course, you're the one girl

On this planet that has zero interest

In one of the most charming

Guys in the universe

Dahlia, I couldn't possibly do that

That's so incredibly slimy and desperate

Then don't think of it as pretending

Think of it as being there for him

While he struggles to find his next project

And as he's at the end of his rope; poof

There you are, a young

Attractive, talented singer

You'll save the day

I don't know

It still doesn't feel right

What if he's not even

Interested in me to begin with?

Then make him interested

So, then what happens after

I tell him I'm a singer?

Am I just supposed to pretend

To be in love with him

For the rest of my life?

Of course, not

Just dump him when the release

Of your third album goes platinum

Or you could always just marry him

Dahlia!

Regardless

This could work, Clarice

But it won't if you sit here

And don't get that date back

Did he give you his number or anything?

No. He just told me to meet him

At seven in Central Park

If I changed my mind

Well, there you go

You can go home, get all dolled

Up and win that man's heart

I don't know

It just seems so...manipulative

For once, Clarice, put yourself first

This is an opportunity

You can't pass up

What's this I'm hearing about, Clarice?

An opportunity?

Clarice got asked out on a

Date with this amazing guy!

Technically he didn't ask me

Oh, hush! He's in a position where

He could totally

Launch her singing career!

But Dahlia, I can't even go

I have to work tonight, isn't

That right, Mr. Peters?

Actually, I think you

Could use a night off

You're way too hard on yourself

You should go out and do

Whatever it is you

Youngsters do nowadays

Ha! That's it! You're going!
