[TRINA]
Dr. Mendel, please
Dr. Mendel, vis-a-vis what Marvin did
Or rather, hasn't done
You must exorcise a devil
'Cause it inhabits Marvin's son
Please come to our house
And talk a bit with Jason
It's a slight exaggeration
But he's sick in the head
Oh, sure
Sometimes, you'll think he's wonderful
But he's wild
I'm sure he's Marvin's child
Yes we'll have dinner here
Please just act like nothing's wrong
God, bless
This rotten family will see if you two get along
If not I've got some rope right here
And Trina will be hanging from a chandelier
[JASON]
What should I say to the man?
Should I be mean to the man?
[TRINA]
Just be yourself
[JASON]
I'll be myself?
[TRINA]
Don't be disgusting, be yourself
[JASON]
I'll be myself!
[TRINA]
Stop asking questions, be yourself!
[JASON]
Hello to my house
So good of you to travel
[TRINA]
On account of his unravelling
Now let's eat some food
[MENDEL, spoken]
Let's talk
[TRINA]
I think, before the food gets cold
[MENDEL]
Time to jaw
First, I'll extend my paw
I think she's holding it so tenderly
I'll probably faint
If so
I'd rather die in this position
Than remain the saint
You think
You know
I'm not
Although
I must be showing better-than-the-norm restraint
[TRINA, MENDEL, & JASON]
Oh, what a lovely table
Such a romantic table
Knives in place
Lots of space
To spread out and eat
Notice how our eyes discreetly...
[TRINA, MENDEL, & JASON, in a round]
Please come to our house
The dinner's on the table
We will talk if we are able to
But probably we won't
We sit
[MENDEL]
The kid looks pretty miserable
[JASON]
Uninspired
[MENDEL, spoken]
Ah, ain't that the truth?
[TRINA, MENDEL, & JASON]
We're tired
[MENDEL]
I think the room looks just a wee bit small
[TRINA]
This girl agrees
[MENDEL & JASON]
Adieu
[TRINA]
I'll wait outside
Perhaps some food?
[MENDEL]
I do not eat at all at times like these
[TRINA, to JASON]
The worst is through
[MENDEL]
There's work to do
[TRINA, to MENDEL]
I'll wait
[MENDEL]
She'll wait
[JASON]
They'll wait
[TRINA]
I'll wait for you
[JASON]
Mr. Mendel
I get apoplexy thinking of my father
I resemble him in far too many ways
His sad demeanor
The way he acts the swine
At least his room is cleaner than mine
Is it fatal?
Do you see real similarities between us?
He and Whizzer live like...
Well, I think it's clear
What do I do?
What do I say?
How do I ask?
What do I hope for?
Is it my mind?
Love isn't free
If love isn't blind
What do I see?
[MENDEL, spoken]
Stop!
Look around you
No one's screaming at you
So you feel alright for about ten minutes
If you feel alright for ten minutes
Why don't you feel alright for twenty minutes
Feel alright for forty minutes
Drop it and smile
(sung)
Why don't you feel alright for the rest of your life?
Why don't you feel alright for the rest of your life?
Why don't you feel alright for the rest of your life?
[JASON, spoken]
Is this therapy?
[TRINA]
Chop chop chop chop chop
I chopped it
It's a gourmet version of chicken Marengo
Took me all-day
I'll say it was worth the time
I lie
[TRINA] [MARVIN]
Chop chop chop chop Why
Chop chop chop chop
Chop chop chop chop is he
Chop chop chop chop al-
Chop chop chop chop
Chop chop chop chop ways
Chop chop chop chop here
Chop chop chop chop
[WHIZZER]
And another door keeps turning
Turning
Now
[MENDEL]
Try to forget all things homely
Try to forget all things snide
Nothing's as good as you recall
Count what's good, then divide
If you count, it's alright
You can figure out the world
You can add and subtract at will
You can cover up the past
You can kill the pain
Very easily
[JASON]
I hate
[MENDEL, spoken]
We get it
[MARVIN, TRINA, WHIZZER, & MENDEL]
Very easily!
[JASON]
I hate
[MARVIN, TRINA, WHIZZER, & MENDEL]
Very easily!
[TRINA]
Chop chop chop
It's just baloney
A piece of bread
It beats pneumonia
[MARVIN]
Why is he always here?
[WHIZZER]
Psychiatrist returning
[MENDEL]
Have you learned to forget?
[JASON]
It's not easy to forget
[MENDEL]
I forget why the hell I'm here
[TRINA]
This is therapy!
[MENDEL]
Right!
This is therapy
[TRINA] [MARVIN]
Chop your own
We'll call it dinner
Chop chop chop chop Why
Chop chop chop chop is he
Chop chop chop chop always
Chop chop chop chop here
[TRINA, MENDEL, MARVIN, & WHIZZER]
The child's wheels
Keep turning
Turning
Turning
[JASON, spoken]
No!
If you count, it's alright
You can figure out the world
You can add and subtract at will
You can cover up the past
You can kill the pain
Very easily
[JASON]
Is this therapy?
[TRINA, MENDEL, MARVIN, & WHIZZER]
This is therapy!
[JASON]
Mr. Mendel
As regarding your intentions to my mother
Are they everything a woman would desire?
Her hand is ready
It only needs a ring
I'll buy confetti
And sing
I'm embarrassed
It's not my responsibility to ask you
But I wonder if it's ever crossed your mind?
[MENDEL]
What do I say?
Where do I look?
Why do I laugh?
How do I answer?
Is it my mind?
Love isn't free
If love isn't blind
What do I see?
[JASON, spoken]
Stop!
Look around you
A lot of nice furniture
Someone's bringing you dinner
Someone brought you your lunch
Someone's washing your laundry
Washing your...socks
Jesus Christ!
Why don't you feel alright for the rest of your life?
Why don't you feel alright for the rest of your life?
[JASON] [MENDEL]
Why don't you feel alright Why don't I feel alright
For the rest of your life? for the rest of my life?
[MARVIN, TRINA, WHIZZER [MENDEL]
& JASON]
Why don't you feel alright Why don't I feel alright
For the rest of your life? for the rest of my life?
Why don't you feel alright Why don't I feel alright
For the rest of your life? for the rest of my life?
Why don't you feel alright Why don't I feel alright
For the rest of your life? for the rest of my life?
[ALL]
Feel, feel, feel, feel alright
Feel, feel, feel, feel alright
Feel, feel, feel, feel alright
Feel, feel, feel, feel alright
Feel alright for the rest of your
Rest of your
[MENDEL]
Life
