Voice: Hey, everybody, listen up! We're having some technical hassles, so we can't start for another hour or two! Sorry! Stay cool! Jimmy: Technical hassles! What technical hassles! We're ready to go on right now! Man: C'mon, Jim, the kids don't mind - they're used to it! Jimmy: I don't care! That stadium is full! The tickets say 7:30 and it's 7:30 now! Man: Jimmy, listen - if you play too soon, you'll seem too eager! You'll cheapen the act! Jimmy: I want to start on time dammit! Man: Will you listen to this kid? And he calls himself a professional!
