[addison, spoken]
h-llo, willie

[wilson, spoken]
they told me you were dead

[addison, spoken]
i am

[wilson, spoken]
then that must mean that…

[addison, spoken]
face down in a double bourbon in a booth at the brown derby

[wilson, spoken]
oh, d-mn. but when i think of all the famous last words i’d rehe-rs-d

[addison, spoken]
the show’s over, willie. i’m the only audience you’ve got left

[wilson, spoken]
you know what, that’s a relief

[addison, spoken]
hard times?

[wilson, spoken]
hollywood. you know, i actually wrote a couple pictures

[addison, spoken]
did you really?

[wilson, spoken]
well, i was in the room when a couple pictures got written. hey, what’d you die of anyway?

[addison, spoken]
i got lonely

[wilson, spoken]
yeah

[addison, spoken]
and in the end… i guess i was… ashamed

[wilson, spoken]
ashamed?

[addison, spoken]
i had a talent, willie. i threw it away!

[wilson, spoken]
nah!
well… yeah…

(sung)
still you got rich
still you got laid
not such a waste

only one hitch:
me, i’m afraid
still you were embraced!

[addison, spoken]
it wasn’t enough, willie. it was also too much

[wilson]
so you fell short
of your dream
come on, sport
we’re still a team
we’re made the same way

[addison]
so you say

[papa mizner, spoken]
boys, boys!

[addison, spoken]
oh sh-t

[papa mizner, spoken]
a doting father’s dying words, boys

(sung)
there’s a road straight ahead
there’s a century beginning
there’s a land of opportunity and more

(spoken)
i expected you’d make history, boys. instead you made a mess

[wilson, spoken]
a mess? what does he mean a mess?

[addison, spoken]
you know what he means

[wilson, spoken]
yeah, well, one man’s mess is another man’s… something or other…

[addison]
god, you had charm
god, you had guts
god, what a waste

[wilson, spoken]
hey, we built a city!

[addison, spoken]
actually, we didn’t

(sung)
god, we did harm
what were we nuts?
and where was our taste?

[wilson, spoken]
so we went overboard a little, where’s the harm in that?

[addison, spoken]
where’s the harm?

[wilson]
so if we fell
and fell fast
why should we dwell
on the past?
looking ahead

[addison]
willie, we’re dead

[wilson, spoken]
i know it’s a long shot, but, you don’t suppose this could be heaven, do you?

[addison, spoken]
god keeps better books than that, willie

[wilson, spoken]
then where do you think guys like us go after they die?

[addison, spoken]
i don’t think they go anywhere. i think they just keep going

[ensemble]
look at it!
look at it, look at it!

[wilson, spoken]
addie, look at it! you know what that is!
it’s the road to opportunity!

[addison, spoken]
it’s the road to eternity

[wilson, spoken]
the greatest opportunity of all!
sooner or later, we’re bound to get it right
