[GRANDMA & GRANDPA GELLMAN]
In 1963 our widowed son
A tragedy, tragedy
Married a friend from New York City
A pity, a pity

[STUART]
Wonderful things
Come to an end
Marry a friend
Make a new start

[GRANDMA & GRANDPA GELLMAN]
Rose Stopnick can cook
Rose Stopnick is lovely
Rose Stopnick doesn't smoke
Or play the bassoon

[CAROLINE, spoken]
Night, Mrs. Gellman, I'm going home
I done wash the clothes

[ROSE]
Please, call me Rose

[CAROLINE, spoken]
I put up the shrimp
I washed the floor upstairs
I dusted the World Book Encyclopedia
I ironed the linens
I put the pot—
[ROSE]
And please take some cabbage home to your kids

[CAROLINE, spoken]
Don't like the smell
Night, Mrs. Gellman

[NOAH & GRANDMA & GRANDPA GELLMAN]
Rose Stopnick can cook

[STUART]
Make a new start

[NOAH]
Rose Stopnick is nice to me

[STUART]
Make a new start

[ROSE]
Noah, darling, look
You left change in your pants pockets again

[NOAH & GRANDMA & GRANDPA GELLMAN]
Rose Stopnick doesn't smoke
[STUART]
Marry a friend, make a new start

[NOAH]
I hate her
I hate her
With all my heart
