Happythankyoumoreplease Page #8

Synopsis: Six New Yorkers juggle love, friendship, and the keenly challenging specter of adulthood. Sam Wexler is a struggling writer who's having a particularly bad day. When a young boy gets separated from his family on the subway, Sam makes the questionable decision to bring the child back to his apartment and thus begins a rewarding, yet complicated, friendship. Sam's life revolves around his friends-Annie, whose self-image keeps her from commitment; Charlie and Mary Catherine, a couple whose possible move to Los Angeles tests their relationship; and Mississippi, a cabaret singer who catches Sam's eye.

Sadness be gone.

Let's be people who deserve

to be loved, who are worthy.

Because we are worthy.

We really are.

You've been telling me that for years

and now I get to spit it back at you.

(Annie sighs)

You're a good man,

Sam Wexler.

Go get yourself loved.

That's all I got.

(folk music playing)

#Hey, Jo Jo #

#Yeah, I know your name... #

Jill. Hey, it's Sam Wexler.

I think Mary Catherine

told you I'd be calling.

#Thought I saw you

jump the Utah train... #

They moved him

to a different home.

(paper rustling)

#Could be as well... #

- Thank you.

- # I cannot tell #

#Oh no, I cannot tell. #

Okay, this... this last song...

it's a happy song

about a happy song.

It's kind of what I need

to hear right now.

Thanks, y'all.

#Sing me a happy song #

#About robins in spring #

#Sing me a happy song #

#With a happy ending #

#Some cheerful roundelay #

#About catching the ring #

#Sing happy #

#Sing me a sonnet

all about rolling in gold #

#Some peppy melody

about rainbows blending #

#Nothing with phrases saying

you're out in the cold #

#Sing happy #

#Tell me tomorrow's gonna be

peaches and cream #

#Assure me clouds are lined

with a silver lining #

#Say how you realize

an impossible dream #

#Sing me a happy song #

#No need reminding me

that it all fell apart #

#I need no lyric singing

of stormy weather #

#There's quite enough around me

that's breaking my heart #

#Sing #

#Sing a hallelujah #

#And get up and shout #

#Tell me the sun is shining

around the corner #

#Whoever's interested

in helping me out #

#Please keep it happy #

#I'm only in the market

for long, loud laughter #

#I'll let you serenade me

till dawn comes along #

#Just make it a happy #

#Keep it a happy song. #

(applause, cheering)

Man:

Bravo! Whoo!

Man:
Yeah!

(folk rock music playing)

#I can't remember

what is wrong #

#Well, I've been happy now

for way too long #

#And oh #

#We got a lot more to go #

#I put a trash can

by the road #

#And filled it up

just to lighten my load #

#But oh #

#I got nowhere to go #

#Someone's alone,

fell asleep on the phone #

#Waiting like a dog

for a bone #

#And how could it be

that a fish in the sea #

#Can feel like

it's completely alone? #

#The world may never know #

#The world may

never know #

#Oh #

#I know it hurt you,

'cause you cried #

#I know it killed you,

but nobody died #

#And oh #

#The city ain't nothing

but show #

#I found a needle

in the hay #

#I found the sunshine

at the end of the day #

#And oh #

#I found a pearl

in the snow #

#Someone's alone,

fell asleep on the phone #

#Waiting like a dog

for a bone #

#Oh, and how could it be

that a fish in the sea #

#Can feel like

it's completely alone? #

#The world may never know #

#The world may

never know #

#The world may never know #

#The world may

never know. #

(folk music playing)

#It is a dream

that I will wake from #

#There Trudy writes

this song #

#There's no need for an escape,

you've never been here all along #

#You were in the Caribbean #

#I'm in New York now thinkin' #

#You say you want me,

but you never came to get me #

#Oh, you never got me #

#And I hope you don't haunt

these dreams ever again #

#And the long walk to never #

#Surely takes forever

and ever. #
