There
There it is
There's the look that lost a thousand thoughts
The first time that I saw it
You remember, Marlena?
When you met me?
You were running from your life
And I was running out of money
You had nothing
I had nothing
But when you looked at me
You looked at me
Like I was everything that you would ever need
And so it strains to see
That look again
But not for me
Forgive me
I've been blathering on
You asked a question, Jacob
You wanted to know what I thought of your
Thoughtful suggestion
I think that a gift is a gift and you're
Free to reject one
But here's a suggestion
Don't deign to spit in a man's face and then
Call it communion
Remember!
You'd have nothing
You've got nothing without me
I mean, whatever happened to "thank you"? (Don't, Auggie!)
(All Jacob meant was -) Oh, good
Here's the translator
Equally eloquent at speaking adulterer
As she is elephant
Tell me, my darling
Which language comes easier?
I have my theories (Auggie, that's enough)
Put a ring on her finger
And what do you get?
You get happily married
And a little in debt
And then after a decade of marital bliss
You find out you don't amount
To a thimble of piss
Turns out you've got nothing
You meant nothing to her
(August, calm down and listen to me!) You think it's easy?
You think what I do for you is easy?
Dealing with the rubes and the bookers
The broken-down cakers
All of them trying to cheat me
At least we could trust each other
At least I could trust my wife! (Talk to me!)
(Don't accuse me!) Oh, accuse you?
You all but admitted it
The minute I walked in
The two of you scurried like rats from a cupboard
You think I can't spot a little spat
Between lovers?
And suddenly you've got nothing
You've got nothing to say
I'm not gonna stand here and let him go on like this!
Don't get involved, Jacob, please
Don't get involved
That's rich
Coming from the b***h who can't stop herself getting involved
A bit late, but it's still great advice
Or to be more precise
Don't go screwing another man's wife
(Stop! That is enough!)
