[STARBUCK, spoken]
Well, stay and talk. C'mon, it's lonely out here.
Now, what are you so afraid of?

[LIZZIE, spoken]
You. I don't trust you.

[STARBUCK, spoken]
Why? What don't you trust about me?

[LIZZIE, spoken]
Everything! The way you talk, the way you brag — why, even your name!

[STARBUCK, spoken]
What's wrong with my name?

[LIZZIE, spoken]
It sounds fake! It sounds like you made it up!

[STARBUCK, spoken]
Well, you're darn right. I did make it up!
You know what name I was born with? Smith, for the love of Mike, Smith! What kind of handle for a fella like me? No, I needed a name with the whole sky in it. And the power of a man! Star — buck! Now that's a name — and it's mine!

[LIZZIE, spoken]
No it's not. You were born Smith — now that's your name.
[STARBUCK, spoken]
No, you're wrong, Lizzie! The name you choose for yourself is more your own than the one you're born with! And if I were you then I'd sure choose another name than Lizzie!

[LIZZIE, spoken]
Thank you — i'm very pleased with it.

[STARBUCK, spoken]
Oh no, you're not! You're not pleased with anything about yourself.
And I am sure you are not pleased with "Lizzie."

[LIZZIE, spoken]
I don't ask you to be pleased with it, Starbuck. I am!

[STARBUCK, spoken]
"Lizzie?" It don't stand for anything!

[LIZZIE, spoken]
It stands for me! Me! I'm not the Queen of Sheba — I'm not Lady Godiva — I'm not Cinderella at the Ball!

[STARBUCK, spoken]
Would you like to be?

[LIZZIE, spoken]
Starbuck, you're ridiculous!

[STARBUCK, spoken]
Now, hold on one little minute! Now, i have got the greatest name for you. The greatest name! Just listen!
(sung)
Melisande!

[LIZZIE, spoken]
I don't like it.

[STARBUCK, spoken]
Well, that's 'cause you don't know anything about her! But when I tell you who she was — oh, lady, when I tell you who she was!

[LIZZIE, spoken]
Who?

[STARBUCK, spoken]
Why she was the most beautiful — she was the beautiful wife of King... Hamlet! You ever hear of him?

[LIZZIE, spoken]
Go on, Starbuck, go on.
