FOLLOWS "I Can Do That"
(During BOBBY's monologue.)
RICHIE
And
What if I'm next
What if I'm next
What am I gonna do
I haven't got a clue.
I gotta think of something.
What does he want
What does he want
Stories from the past
I better find one fast!
MAGGIE, GREG, RICHIE, VAL, BEBE, PAUL
What should I say
What can I tell him
VAL
And
Orphan at three.
Orphan at three.
Mother and Dad both gone.
Raised by a sweet ex-con.
Tied up and raped at seven.
Seriously! Seriously!
Nothing too obscene!
I'd better keep it clean.
DIANA, CONNIE, RICHIE, VAL, SHEILA, DON
What should I say
What can I tell him
JUDY
And
God, I'm a wreck.
God, I'm a wreck.
I don't know where to start.
I'm gonna fall apart.
Where are my childhood mem'ries
Who were the boys
What were the toys
Gone beyond recall!
And why am I so tall !!
What should I say
ALL
What can I tell him
JUDY
And
CONNIE, MAGGIE
And
RICHIE
And
VAL, DIANA
And
BOBBY (end of monologue)
to commit suicide in Buffalo is redundant
