william finn – please come to our house lyrics

Loading...

[the phone rings. trina is on the phone.]

[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 [mendel, spoken]
h-llo?

this is mendel weisenbachfeld

trina, how are you?

uh-huh. uh-huh.

[trina]
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

[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]
stop asking questions. be yourself

[jason]
i’ll be myself!

[trina]
don’t be disgusting. be yourself!
go, go, go, go

[doorbell. mendel opens the door. mendel and jason shake hands.]

[jason]
h-llo to my house
so good of you to travel
on account of my unraveling
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

[ridiculously, chivalrously, he takes trina’s hand. spotlight on their hands.]

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…

[they look. cat and mouse.]

[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

[he puts an arm around jason.]

[jason]
uninspired

[mendel, appreciating jason’s attitude]
ain’t that the truth?

[trina, mendel, & jason]
we’re tired

[jason moves mendel’s arm away.]

[mendel]
i think the room looks just a wee bit small

[trina]
this girl agrees

[mendel and jason]
adieu

[trina]
i’ll wait outside
and hold the 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, looking at trina, then turning to the audience]
she’ll wait

[jason]
they’ll wait

[trina]
i’ll wait for you

[trina exits with the table.]
