Jeff Lynne Quotes in Electric Dreams (1984)

[the sights and sounds of a party are coming out of Miles' apartment]

Neighbor: [from her apartment window] Howard. Just go on in.

[Howard peers through the translucent windows of the door at colored, flashing lights. He pushes it open, tripping the electronic lock sensor]

Edgar: All right! Beat it!

[the music abruptly stops. The door slowly creaks open]

Edgar: [Howard looks in, sees a dark, clean, and quiet apartment, no sign of a party at all. He closes the door and leaves, perplexed]

Neighbor: *That's* tellin' him, Howard.

Edgar: [mockingly] "That's tellin' him, Howard!"

[lights come up and the last line of the song plays]

Jeff Lynne: [singing] 'Cause I'm already gone, let it run.

[4 final beats]
