Sweet Charity Page #10

---

On days when your mental block was

botherin' you, you could stay in bed.

And I'd grow

the flowers.

Oscar. Oscar, listen.

I could change

the way I talk.

I could change

the way I dress, you know.

But there's certain things a person

can't change because they're history.

And you can't change history, Oscar,

no matter how much you want to.

Oh, Charity.

Oscar, I got so much to give.

Please, let me give it to you.

Charity, I'm saving you...

I'm saving you from me.

Don't save me.

Marry me.

Don't beg, Charity. You're

too good to beg to anyone.

Oscar, hey, you know, we don't have

to get married if you don't want to.

I mean, we could just, uh,

you know, be together.

Don't you understand?

I would destroy you.

But that's okay.

I'm not doing much now

anyway.

Oh, God.

Forgive me.

Please forgive me.

I forgive you.

I forgive...

Where am I going

and what will I find

What's in this grab bag

that I call my mind

What am I doing

alone on the shelf

Ain't it a shame

No one's to blame

but myself

Which way is clear

When you've lost your way

Year after year

Do I keep falling in love

For just the kick of it

Staggering through

the thin and thick of it

Hating each old

and tired trick of it

You know what I am

I'm good and sick of it

Where am I going

Why do I care

Run to the Bronx

or Washington Square

No matter where I run

I meet myself there

Looking inside me

What do I see

Anger and hope and doubt

What am I all about

and where am I going

Yeah? Hey, it's

the old married lady!

Hi, baby, it's me. How'd it go? Nickie.

What are you doin' callin' here?

You must have better things to do.

Nickie, I wanna talk to ya.

You ought to hear her.

She's all choked up.

Charity, I can't tell ya

how happy all of us are for ya.

We've been doin' nothin' else

but talkin' about it all day.

Tell us about the ceremony.

It must have been beautiful.

And talk loud 'cause

we're all listenin'. Shh.

Uh... uh...

Yeah.

Yeah, i-it was beautiful.

It was beautiful

just like in the movies.

Did he give you a nice ring? Did

he carry you over the threshold?

Did he hang out a "do

not disturb" sign? Shh!

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah,

he did all those things.

Just like in the movies,

you know?

Well, put the groom on.

We wanna hear his side.

Oh, well, I can't.

He can't, you know.

We promise we won't

say nothin' dirty.

We just want to say good

luck. Put him on! Shh!

Okay, just a second.

Honey, uh, the girls wanna

say good luck, you know?

He says... He says he can't.

He's shaving, you know.

Are you happy, baby?

Are you finally happy?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm finally happy.

I hope so. Listen,

don't talk to us no more.

Any man who's shaving

means business.

So long, baby,

and thanks for callin'.

It meant a lot you thinkin'

about us at a time like this.

Hey, listen, if the first one's

a girl, you can call it Nickie.

If it's a boy, you can call

it Nickie. So long, baby!

Bye! Bye!

Bye.

Looking inside me

What do I see

Anger and hope and doubt

What am I all about

And where am I going

You tell me.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Morning.

Love.

Love.

Love.

Love.

Love.

Love.

Good morning.

Good morning.
