[ROSE]
Nevermind
I wanted to tell you my father is coming for Chanukah soon
So let's make up the extra bedroom
When you get a second
And also next Sunday
Could you ask Dot and Emmie
To help with a party from 7 to 10?

[CAROLINE]
I have to ask Dotty

[ROSE]
I'm just trying to help you
You know, with the money
It was only a game

[ROSE, aside]
So, sue me already
Miss Crabby Appleton
I don't know what's eating you
Some people, honestly
There's oppression and misery
And then there are people
Who are just plain nasty
[ROSE, to CAROLINE]
Just trying to be friendly
Just trying to be a friend
Anyway, the shirt's still good
Look, where the quarter was
You can almost read the little writing
'Liberty
In God We Trust'
You must've been ironing mighty hard
That's why the clothes come out so crisp
General George Washington would approve of you
How're those kids?
Those kids of yours?

[CAROLINE]
Excuse me, Mrs. Gellman
I got to put the laundry in the dryer

[THE DRYER]
Some folks goes to school at nights

[ROSE]
The shirt's still good, just a little burnt

[THE DRYER]
Some folks march for civil rights
[ROSE]
Take it
Use it for cleaning or something

[THE DRYER]
Some folks prosper
Then they's those
Pickin' coins from dirty clothes

[ROSE]
Well, see you upstairs

[THE DRYER]
Caroline
Something else on your mind 'sides jingle bells
You the queen of keep-at-bay
What-was-once or might-have-been
Little change, and strange to say
Yesterday come crashin' in
