Come Back To Me
MARK
Alright, David Gamble, I don't know where you are, but I'm going to open that window, and you're going to go through it. Whatever you're doing, wherever you are, STOP! And listen
Hear my voice where you are
Take a train, steal a car
Hop a freight, grab a star
Come back to me
Catch a plane, catch a breeze
On your hands, on your knees
Swim or fly, only please
Come back to me!
On a mule, in a jet
With your hair in a net
In a towel wringing wet -
I don't care, this is where you should be!
From the hills, from the shore
Ride the wind to my door
Turn the highway to dust
Break the law if you must
Move the world, only just
Come back to me!
Mrs. Hatch?
MRS HATCH
Yes, sir?
MARK
Hold all my calls unless they're from David Gamble. And find me the next train to Oneonta
MRS HATCH
There are no trains to Oneonta
MARK
Then a bus
MRS HATCH
Dr. Bruckner, please tell me you're not going to go to Oneonta
MARK
Only if Oneonta doesn't come to me
MRS HATCH
Oh my...
MARK
Blast your hide, hear me call
Must I fight City Hall?
Here and now, damn it all
Come back to me!
What on Earth must I do?
Scream and yell till I'm blue?
Curse your soul when will you come back to me?
Have you gone to the moon or the corner saloon
And to rack, and to "roon?"
Well oh well, where in Hell can you be?
In a crate, in a trunk
On a horse, on a drunk
In a Rolls or a van...
Wrapped in mink or Seran...
Any way that you can
Come back to me!
WARREN
Dr. Bruckner? I'm looking for David Gamble. What have you done with him?
MARK
Me? Nothing. Who are you?
WARREN
I'm Warren Smith. I'm going to bring you up on charges of unethical behavior. Are you in love with him?
MARK
No
WARREN
Well, that's not what he thinks. He's in love with you
MARK
But that's not my doing. That's because of him, something special inside him. And to fix all of this, I have to find him
WARREN
What are you doing?
MARK
I'm trying to communicate with him. Join me
WARREN
You are out of your mind
MARK
Hear my voice through the dim
WARREN
This is ridiculous
MARK
Feel the waves on your skin
WARREN
What kind of a doctor are you?
MARK
Like a call from within
Come back to me
He needs you
WARREN
You've got to be-
Leave behind all your own
Tell your flowers you will phone
Let your dog walk alone
Come back to me
MARK
Thank you, Warren
Let your tub overflow
If a date waits below
Let him wait for Godot
Ride a rail
Come by mail, COD
WARREN
Leave your bills
MARK
Leave your bills
WARREN
All unpaid
MARK
All unpaid
WARREN
Let your bed
MARK
Let your bed
WARREN
Go unmade
MARK
Go unmade
WARREN
Your souffle
MARK
Your souffle
MARK AND WARREN
Unsouffled
Come back to me
MARK
Come by sail
WARREN
Come by sail
MARK
Come by freight
WARREN
Come by freight
MARK
In a box
WARREN
In a crate
MARK
With your head on a plate
MARK AND WARREN
I don't care this is where you should be
MARK
Come in pain
WARREN
Come in pain
MARK
Come in joy
WARREN
Come in joy
MARK
As a girl
WARREN
As a boy
MARK
Don't get lost at Korvette's
WARREN
Don't go to Korvette's
MARK
Or get signed by the Mets
WARREN
Dear God, not the Mets
Don't give up cigarettes
MARK AND WARREN
Come back to me!
Come back to me!
Come back!
