I don't want another box that's not the point

what is the point

..... why remember how you has layers and layers of jungle bells sewed into your petticoat while babe and I only has three a piece

Oh god she's starting up about those stupid jingle bells

well its an example a specific example of how you always got what you wanted

oh come on lenny your just upset cause doc called

..... why ive long given up on worrying about you and all your men

Look I know ive had too many men. Believe me I know. But its not my fault you haven't had any.. or maybe just that one from Memphis

what one from Memphis

the one babe told me about from the club

Why'd you have to open up your big mouth

(overlapp) How am I supposed to know you never said not to tell

ill just never never never be able to trust you again

oh for heavens sake lenny we were just worried about you! We wanted to find a way to make you happy!

Happy happy ill never be happy

well not if you keep living your life as old grandaddy's nurse maid

Meg shut up

I can't help it! I just know that the only reason you stopped seeing this man from Memphis was because of old grandaddy

what babe didn't tell you the rest of the story

oh she said it was something about your shrunken ovary

I just mentioned it!

But I don't believe a word of that story!

.......so what man can love me what mans gonna love me

A lot of men

old granddaddy's the only one who seems to think otherwise

cause he doesn't want to see me hurt he doesnt want me rejected and humiliated

oh come on now Lenny, don't be so pathetic! God, you make me so angry when you stand there looking so pathetic! just tell me did you really ask the man from Memphis? Did you actually ask the man from Memphis all about that!?

no I didn't I didn't because I just didn't want him to not want me

Lenny--

Don't talk to me anymore Don't talk to me! I think im gonna vomit I just hope all this doesnt cause me to vomit
