Anyone Would Do (Reprise)
[MUSIC HALL SINGER]
By the time you come knockin'
My lonely stranger
No stranger than anyone here
No danger, as long as you're near
Don't ever go
[ALMETA]
Maybe there's a stranger at my door
Hey there, mister, how are you?
You could be just anyone
'Cause right now anyone…
[HOTEL HOOKER]
What's to keep him waitin' for?
You could be just anyone[ALL THREE]
Baby you may be the stranger at my door
[ALMETA]
Maybe there's a stranger
[ALL THREE]
And right now anyone
[MUSIC HALL SINGER]
Would do
[HOTEL HOOKER]
Would do
[ALMETA]
Anyone would do
[BUS DRIVER 3, spoken]
Wake up, soldier boys. This is Fort Smith, Arkansas, through no fault of mine. The rest of us get 10 minutes to use the facilities.
[VIOLET, spoken]
Ready or not, Montgomery.
[MONTY, spoken]
Monty. Monty, Monty, Monty, Mon… You're doin' that on purpose.
[VIOLET, spoken]
What are you gonna do about it?
[MONTY, spoken]
You wait right here, Violet. You got a surprise comin'.
[FLICK, spoken]
Fort Smith is the last rest stop you get. You wanna get up and stretch?
[VIOLET, spoken]
I'm okay.
[FLICK, spoken]
What happened to Monty?
[VIOLET, spoken]
He's out buying me candy and sodas, like he's been doing all day.
[FLICK, spoken]
Right. Know why Monty's buying it? 'Cause he thinks that's easier than talking to you. Now there's a man you can count on.
[VIOLET, spoken]
What do you know about it?
[FLICK, spoken]
I know a plain girl when I see one, with dreams that don't make no sense.
[VIOLET, spoken]
Maybe not to you.
[FLICK, spoken]
Don't you get it? You are just a piece of ass to him. And an easy one at that.
[VIOLET, spoken]
What gives you the right to be jealous?
[FLICK, spoken]
What makes you think I am?
[VIOLET, spoken]
You heard me say I left the door unlocked.
[FLICK, spoken]
Last I heard it couldn't lock.
[VIOLET, spoken]
What did you expect, an invitation?
[FLICK, spoken]
Okay, forget it. I don't go for sloppy seconds anyhow.
[VIOLET, spoken]
Well, you sure seemed like you were ready to go last night.
