Reality Bites Page #9

You're like that guy,

you know, with the...

with the hat and the bells

and the little, you know...

The court jester.

Yeah, right. Where everything's

so easy to laugh at...

from a safe distance

back in Clever-Clever Land.

You know what happens to him?

They find his skull in a grave,

and they go...

"Oh, I knew him,

and he was funny. "

And the guy, the court jester,

dies all by himself.

Where'd you hear that,

a Renaissance festival?

Besides, everyone dies

all by himself.

If you really believe that...

Who are you looking for

out here?

SINGING:

You say you want

Diamonds on a ring of gold

You say you want

Your story to remain untold

But all the promises we make

From the cradle to the grave

When all I want is you

You say you'll give me

A highway with no one on it

Treasure just to look upon it

All the riches in the night

You say you'll give me

Eyes in a moon of blindness

A river in a time of dryness

A harbour in the tempest

But all the promises we make

From the cradle to the grave

When all I want is you

Hello.

Hello?

SINGING:

All I want is you

All I want is you

All I want is you...

-Hey, Lainie. This is Lance.

-Hi.

Um... I just need to know

if he's OK.

Huh?

OK. All I know is

he went back to Chicago...

alone.

I'm not supposed

to know that, am I?

Sh*t.

Sh*t.

Hi.

I was wondering if I could talk

to you for a minute...

before you go.

See, the thing is that, um...

Well...

my dad died.

Oh, god, Troy. I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

No. It...

What happened was that, um...

I kind of got this arcane

glimpse at the universe.

And the best thing

that I can say about that is...

I don't know. I...

I have this...

this planet of regret...

sitting on my shoulders.

And you have no idea how much

I wish that I could go back...

to that morning

after we made love...

and do everything different.

But I know that I can't, so...

I thought that I would come here

and tell you something.

And what I wanted to tell you...

was that I love you...

and, uh... just wanted to

make sure that that was clear...

so that there wasn't

any confusion.

Um...

So, anyway, uh...

Where are you going?

I was going to look for you.

What for?

Just... wanted to see

if you were OK.

Well, I had

a shitty week, you know.

A froggy went

a-courting, and he did ride

With a sword and a pistol

by his side

Uh-huh, uh-huh, mmm-hmm-hmm

Well, he rode right up

to Miss Mousie's door...

TROY ON ANSWERING MACHINE:

At the beep...

please leave your name, number,

and a brief justification...

for the ontological necessity...

of modern man's

existential dilemma...

and we'll get back to you.

Uh, Lelaina,

this is your dad.

Give me a call

when you get this.

I need you to explain something.

I just got a nine-hundred-dollar

bill on my gas card.

If we should fall,

love will catch us every time

I hear you call,

I will run

And if the magic

of the adventure overcomes

We won't cry,

because it could be fun

What I'm trying to do is

constantly find those people...

find out what makes them

the best and bring that...

Tired of getting razzes

for being bald?

I'm only a young man.

No more dates

where I've been called old man.

Roy, why are you

doing this to me?

I know we can be happy together.

You'll chill in time.

Right now, I need someone...

who understands what my music

and the band mean to me.

But it's just music, Roy.

I'm a human being

with deep feelings...

who feels things deeply.

Music is feeling, babe.

The band may be a small dream,

but it's the only one I've got.

I'm Audi 5000.

Please don't let him

get drunk and drive.

SINGING:

Won't be very long

Till I'm going, going, gone

You say

I only hear what I want to

You say

I talk so all the time

So?

And I thought

what I felt was simple

And I thought

that I don't belong

And now that I am leaving

Now I know

that I did something wrong

'Cause I missed you

Yeah, yeah, I missed you

And you say

I only hear what I want to

I don't listen hard,

I don't pay attention

To the distance

that you're running

Or to anyone, anywhere

I don't understand

if you really care

I'm only hearing negative,

no, no, no, no

No...

So I turned the radio on,

I turned the radio up

And this woman

was singing my song

The lover's in love,

and the other's run away

The lover is crying

'cause the other won't stay

Some of us hover

when we weep for the other

Who was dying since

the day they were born, well

Well, this is not that,

I think that I'm throwing

But I'm thrown

And I thought I'd live forever,

but now I'm not so sure

You try to tell me

that I'm clever

But that won't take me anyhow

Or anywhere with you

You said that I was naive and

I thought

that I was strong, no

I thought, hey, I can leave,

I can leave, though

But now I know

that I was wrong

Because I missed you

Yeah, I missed you
