Bobby:
Well, to begin with, I come from this quasi-middle-upper or upper-middle class, family-type-home I could never figure out which but it was real boring I mean, we had money - but no taste You know the kind of house - Astroturf on the patio? Anyway my mother had a lot of card parties and was one of the foremost bridge cheaters in America My father worked for this big corporation They used to send him out into the field a lot - to drink Better that than to find him lying on his office floor But he was okay I was the strange one

Zach:
How strange?

Bobby:
Real, real strange I used to love to give garage recitals BIZARRE recitals This one time I was doing Frankenstein as a musicale and I spray-painted this kid silver - all over They had to rush him to the hospital 'Cause he had that thing when your pores can't breathe He lived 'cause luckily I didn't paint the soles of his feet And (He goes into pantomime)

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, Bebe, Richie, Val, Paul

What can I tell him?

Bobby:
(Out of pantomime, spoken) As I got older I kept getting stranger and stranger, I to go down to this Busy intersection near my house rush hour and direct traffic I just wanted To see if anybody'd notice me That's when I started breaking people's houses -- oh, I didn't steal anything --just re-arrange their furniture And (He goes into pantomime)

Val:
And
Orphan at three,
Orphan at three
Mother and dad both gone
Raised by a sweet ex-con
Tied up and d at seven
Seriously!
Seriously!
Nothing too!
I'd better keep it clean

Don, Connie, Sheila, Richie, Val, Diana:
What should I say?
What can I tell him?

Bobby:
(Out of pantomime, spoken) School? You wanna hear about school? I went to PS See, I was the kind of kid that was always getting slammed into lockers and stuff like that Not only by students -- by the teachers too Oh and I d sports, d sports And sports were very big I mean, it was jock city, but I didn't make one team See I couldn't catch a ball if it had Elmer's Glue on it And didn't my father have to be this big ex-football hero, he was so humiliated, he didn't know what to tell his friends So he told 'em all I had polio On father's day I'd to limp for him (He demonstrates) And (He goes into pantomime)

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 memories?
Who were the boys?
What were my toys?
Gone beyond recall!
And why am I so tall!
What should I say?

Val, Richie, Maggie, Connie, Judy, Diana, Mike
What can I tell him?

Judy:
And

Connie and Maggie:
And

Richie
And

Val and Diana:
