[Song lyrics] and "movie dialogue"

MOLLY: " Next Tuesday is *bring your father to school* day "
[ In my daughter's eyes ]
BUD: " So? "
[ I am a hero ]
MOLLY: " I want you to come "
[ I am strong and wise ]
[ And I know no fear ]
[ But the truth is plain to see ]
BUD: " It's not gonna embarrass you that I don't have a job? "
[ She was sent to rescue me ]
MOLLY: " I don't care "
[ I see who I want to be ]
MOLLY: " I want you to come anyway "
[ In my daughter's eyes ]
MOLLY: " Think you can remember? "
BUD: " 'course (of course) "

[ In my daughter's eyes ]
MOLLY: " Do you think I could try your skateboard? "
[ Everyone is equal ]
JED: " Okay "
[ Darkness turns to light ]
[ And the world is at peace ]
[ This miracle God gave to me ]
[ Gives me strength when I am weak ]
[ I find reason to believe ]
MOLLY: " Will you do it for me? "
BUD: " I'm doing this all because of you "
[ In my daughter's eyes ]
MOLLY: " My dad wants to make this country a better place "

[ And when she wraps her hand around my finger ]
[ Oh, it puts a smile in my heart ]
MOLLY: " Screw this up and I'm leaving you "
BUD: " Haw-haw "
[ Everything becomes a little clearer ]
[ I realize what life is all about ]
BUD: " What is all of this? "
AGENT LEWIS: " She's been answering your mail "
[ It's hanging on when your heart has had enough ]
MOLLY (narrating): " Dear Tom. I was very moved by the letter from your sixth grade class "
[ It's giving more when you feel like giving up ]
BUD: " For what? "
MOLLY (narrating): " Dear Mrs. Anderson "
[ I've seen the light ]
AGENT LEWIS: " She wanted people to think that ... you cared "
[ It's in my daughter's eyes ]
MOLLY: " ... and he really cares about helping poor people and sick people ... and people that can't help themselves "
MOLLY (narrating): " Thank you for your letter. I promise you I am doing everything I can to press the candidates ... "

[ In my daughter's eyes ]
MOLLY: " I think that we ... well you, should ask for a Presidential debate "
[ I can see the future ]
[ A reflection of who I am and what will be ]
BUD: " She's my daughter "
MOLLY: " Forget it "
[ And though she'll grow and someday leave ]
[ Maybe raise a family ]
JED: " I'll wait here a while, just in case you wanna go home "
[ When I'm gone I hope you see ]
BUD: " I'll get her myself "
[ How happy she made me ]
BUD: " Alright, baby "
[ For I'll be there ]
LARISSA: " I don't want you here "
MOLLY: " Dad "
[ In my daughter's eyes ]
BUD: " I'm ashamed in front of my ... daughter ... and my country "

Wonderful video, V Wonder. This is absolutely one of your best works. I think this is 2nd on my list of fave VW videos--right behind...you already know...still love that friggin video. Nice work, sir.

[victorwonder]

@6castor6 thanks Cas! I actually used your advice (your "dancing in the moonlight" vid comment) on the dialogue/music editing. I hope you weren't too disappointed in that regard. I tried really hard to make it work :p

The voices of the male cast members used in this vid had this irritating reverberation that made their dialogue so difficult to incorporate -lol

Also had to lower the volume in the "Molly/Jed" car scene because of that damn car radio playing in the background -lol

[Gwenelan]

Very sweet vid! And thanks for the transcription of the dialong along with the lyric :)!

[victorwonder]

@Gwenelan thanks & you're welcome! I really like how this video turned out but I found parts of the dialogue still hard to understand - thought a transcript may help a little :)

I've now included annotations too -lol

[Tubetheweb]

Good work. Very nice indeed. Keep it up. God Bless.

@victorwonder

That's why I don't use dialog alot-because there's always something: background music mostly, sometimes the dialog you really want is just plain inaudible--irks the crap outta me. I'm not technically savvy (well duh), so I don't know how to remedy that issue. But we do what we can. All that aside, I really, really enjoyed the video.
