But haven't done it since then.

It's just sort of been languishing.

Well, see that, I mean, we wouldn't sing the pitch, right?

We wouldn't say, this is a story about a guy, you know, who is, you know, in trouble with the law.

No, that would be a nightmare.

We would have been kicked out of everybody's office.

But we would sing in our pitches like if there were a musical moment.

And we would often put a musical moment in our stories.

So it was a moment, you know, I guess you'd call it non-diegetic when people are singing as part of the story.

So we would generally sing that.

We were pitching our take on a movie called Car Wars about two rival car dealers.

And one becomes friends with the other.

And so he would sing to him...

You are so beautiful to me.

And so it was kind of a shtick we do.

So I would generally sing to Ken, and Ken would play the person being very uncomfortable with being sung to.

And then I would sing the song to him, and we'd sort of play off the comedy of that, which I guess is in many ways a lot of the comedy that's in Schmigadoon.

But it was fun because...

I would always push it further than we had ever done in rehearsal during the actual pitch meeting.

And we would play with each other in that way.
