How Do You Choose
LUCY
How do you choose?
One of them is brave
One of them is bright
One of them is boring
At the ballet
One of them was sweet
One of them was smart
One of them was snoring

Quincey's accent gives me gooseflesh
Jacks rich voice holds me enthralled

SEWARD
Tra la la

LUCH
Where as Arthur, never opens his mouth at all

MINA
What's to be done?
Living on a ranch
Learning how to dance?

LUCY
Marrying my neighbor?
MINA
Who do you love?
Which of them is kind?
Which of them is wise?

LUCY
Isn't this hard labor?
Quincey rides a palomino
Jack saves lives and cuts of frogs
Where as Arthur spends most evenings with his dogs

QUINCEY
Lucy you're perfection, won't you hitch yer wagon to mine?

SEWARD
Please, be my companion; turn my surgery into a shrine

ARTHUR
There was something I had to say...

LUCY
Yes, go on...

ARTHUR
Oh, never mind
MINA
Follow your heart
Do you want ride
Do you want to stitch?
Do you want to lay low?

LUCY AND MINA
Three different worlds
Galloping the plains
Comforting the sick

MINA
Do you need a halo?

LUCY
Arthur may not be ambitious
Not exciting, wise or tall
But perhaps, I'd be best off with him after all
Truth is, I love him and I always have done

MINA
Well then follow your heart and be bold

LUCY
He's aesthetic, and wise, and kind
MINA
You'll be together until you grow old

LUCY
I've been in love with him since we were children

MINA
Isn't it time the poor fellow was told?

LUCY
And with him, I feel peace of mind!

SUITORS
How did you choose?

QUINCEY
Given that I'm brave?

SEWARD
Given that I'm bright?

ARTHUR
Given that I'm boring?

LUCH
Nothing to lose
Following my heart
Opening my mind
Loving and adoring

ALL BUT QUINCEY
Quincey missed it, by a whisker

ALL BUT SEWARD
Jack will take it like a man

ALL BUT ARTHUR
Whereas Arthur was finished before we began!

ALL
Love's mysterious, no you can never choose
You're a fool if you think you can ever choose
There's not a hope
Not a chance
Not the minutest opportunity
No one can claim immunity

LUCY
Not you, not you. You!
