Scene to read · Collaboration, Motivation
Two hundred forty in the van
You are the drummer in a three-piece band, sitting in the back of the van with your cases.
After a small gig, the band was paid $240 in cash. Ulla writes all the songs. Urban owns the sound gear and hauls it to every show. You are the drummer, and your share is part of the decision; the gear is half-loaded.
The scene
Ulla: Two-forty cash. Three ways is eighty each; I'd keep it simple.
Urban: Simple's fine, but I haul speakers and wear out the van, remember?
Ulla: I wrote every song tonight. Nobody's paying for the speakers alone.
Urban: Fair enough. You're the tiebreaker, how do you want to split it?
