- I thought we were lovers.

You didn't call me

your girlfriend?

That's not true.

That's not true.

You couldn't fit

your dick in me?

- You don't remember that?

- Ohh. Okay, Jenny,

it was nice seeing you.

Huh, Bill?

Bill.

What happened to you?

Marge:

Can someone please

go get security?

What happened to you,

that you would do that to me?

Nothing happened.

What do you mean?

It wasn't me.

It wasn't me, it was you!

You didn't believe.

You didn't trust.

Oh, I did believe.

That was the problem.

- I believed you.

- You deceived yourself.

Sweet girl, Jenny.

- "We are higher than heaven."

- It was you.

It was you. You never believed.

You never believed.

- Come on.

- You never trusted me.

I believed your story.

Huh, Bill?

You were the grownup!

( room silent )

What?

Nobody else

was coached by Bill?

Young Jennifer:

I'd like to begin this story

by telling you something

so beautiful.

I've met two

very special people

whom I've come

to love dearly.

Imagine a woman

who's married

and a man

who's divorced.

Get this.

I'm part of them both.

I'm lucky enough to be able

to share in their love.

( sighs )

( music playing )

Way over yonder

Is a place that I know

Where I can find shelter

From a hunger and cold

And the sweet-tasting

good life

Is so easily found

Way over yonder

That's where I'm bound

I know when I get there

The first thing I'll see

Is the sun shining golden

Sun shining golden

Shining right down on me

Then trouble's

gonna lose me

Worry leave me behind

And I'll stand up proudly

In true peace of mind

Talking about

Talking about

Way over yonder

Is a place I have seen

In a garden of wisdom

From some long-ago dream

Oh, oh

Way over yonder

That's where I'm bound
