Original Broadway Cast of Violet
Surprised (Reprise)
[VIOLET]
Lucky my miracle turned out so gentle
Maybe the best ones appear accidental
I don't dare to check it in the mirror
Give him time, to get the features clearer
But by the soldiers' base
Wait and see
When I show my brand-new face
When I show my brand-new face
When I show my brand-new face
I'll be –

[BUS DRIVER 4, spoken]
I said, tickets please, ma'am. 

[VIOLET, spoken]
Mr. Wallace Weatherman! Remember me?

[BUS DRIVER 4, spoken]
Name's Johnson, ma'am. Says so right on the badge. 

[VIOLET]
Lips? Full. Cheeks? High
Now who's easy on the eye!

[BUS DRIVER 4]
M&M's, Good & Plenty
Stretch my legs, and grab a Coke
[VIOLET]
Nose? Thin. Face? Fine
Monty might not know it's mine

[BUS DRIVER 4]
Have a Tootsie Roll, or twenty

[PASSENGERS]
When we stop I'll have a smoke

[VIOLET]
I'll just stand there, Garbo-style
It might take him a little while
But then he'll start to smile…

[PASSENGERS]
I'll have some coffee for the road

[VIOLET]
Don't even know if he will be there…

[BUS DRIVER 4, spoken]
Fort Smith, Arkansas. 

[VIOLET]
He doesn't even know yet I've changed. I'll have to explain myself, how this gypsy hair and juicy mouth is still Violet Karl! He'll say, "where is that mountain where you live? Can I come there?"
[BUS DRIVER 4]
Made good time crossin' Oklahoma

[MONTY, spoken]
Violet, there you are…I wasn't sure which bus you'd be on. 

[VIOLET, spoken]
Monty? It was all I could do not to sneak a look before I got here. Well? What do you think?
