(spoken, in character) Oh, Geddy, I can't-- Listen, I, you're so, you're right-- I'm really glad we came, it's a beautiful party. And your place looks fantastic! Hello, I'm Janet, and this is my husband Bill. ...Oh...No, nothing! I just, I didn't know you knew each other, Christine. ...Christina. No, no, no, you go ahead darling, I'm, I'm gonna sit here for a while...
She, calmly staring, aware of me
He, hardly caring how much I see
She, lightly joking, a bit too fay
He, busy smoking in every way
And I in my chair
Sit watching the game
And oh, but it's so familiar
Yes, I in my chair
Know I should run away
But no, I think I'll stay
She, wanly sighing "I need some air"
He thinks of trying the terrace there
She runs her finger along his cheek
He lets it linger, too weak to speak
And I in my chair
Sit watching the game
And oh, but it's so familiar
Yes I in my chair
Want to bolt through the door
But no, I'll watch some more
She, filled with sorrow, she's incomplete
He says "tomorrow, why don't we meet?"
She speaks of parting, "You know, your wife?"
He says "I'm starting a brand new life"
Yes, I in my chair
Stay the picture of ease
(spoken) Yes, uh, one more brandy, please
Oh, you ready to go darling? ...Nothing... no, I've just got a terrible headache, um... It was a wonderful party, wasn't it? Wasn't it? Wasn't it?
