Who do you want to be?
OK. OK. I was wrong. The whole time. About everything.
Happy in this moment, just as it was.
Who was happy right now?
Sometimes it was so frustrating!
Those were the days!
Do you remember me?
It was what it was.
Everything had to be perfect.
You had to accept people the way they were.

It was a form of joyous overflow.
You know that for a certainty?
All wildness ceased.

Am so tired of work
Wouldn’t you love to live here?
It was just something that had happened
Because what do we know of other times really?

You really hurt my feelings!
I’ve been away a long time
You don’t need to be here
Does anybody tell the truth around here?
You guys continue to amaze
Well, she can be awfully harsh with him as well
There was a long admiring pause
Inside, some people were talking
What a ridiculous statement
