SAM SHEPHERD:

Pharoah...
PHAROAH SANDERS:

Were you asleep? I'm sorry...

No no... I was listening...and dreaming...and listening to music in my head...

PHAROAH:

I'm always listening...to the sounds around me...and playing, in my mind...and sometimes I dream.

What were you

PHAROAH:

SAM:
Okay. Yeah. I think you're playing is beautiful.
