SARAH:<br>
Darling--<br>
<br>
HARRY:<br>
Yes?<br>
<br>
SARAH:<br>
Robert.<br>
<br>
HARRY:<br>
What?<br>
<br>
SARAH:<br>
I worry.<br>
<br>
HARRY:<br>
Why?<br>
<br>
SARAH:<br>
He's all alone.<br>
There's no one--<br>
<br>
HARRY:<br>
Where?<br>
<br>
SARAH:<br>
In his life.<br>
<br>
HARRY:<br>
Oh.<br>
<br>
SARAH:<br>
Robert ought to have a woman.<br>
Poor baby, all alone,<br>
Evening after evening by the telephone.<br>
We're the only tenderness he's ever known.<br>
Poor baby!<br>
<br>
JENNY:<br>
David--<br>
<br>
DAVID:<br>
Yes?<br>
<br>
JENNY:<br>
Robert.<br>
<br>
DAVID:<br>
What?<br>
<br>
JENNY:<br>
I worry.<br>
<br>
DAVID:<br>
Why?<br>
<br>
JENNY:<br>
It's such a waste.<br>
There's no one--<br>
<br>
DAVID:<br>
Where?<br>
<br>
JENNY:<br>
In his life.<br>
<br>
DAVID:<br>
Oh.<br>
<br>
JENNY:<br>
Robert ought to have a woman.<br>
Poor baby, sitting there,<br>
Staring at the walls and playing solitaire,<br>
Making conversation with the empty air.<br>
Poor baby!<br>
<br>
[Later, as Robert takes April to bed]<br>
<br>
SARAH:<br>
Robert...<br>
<br>
JENNY:<br>
Bobby...<br>
<br>
SARAH:<br>
Robert, angel...<br>
<br>
JENNY:<br>
Bobby, honey...<br>
<br>
SARAH:<br>
You know, <br>
No one <br>
Wants you to be happy<br>
More than I do,<br>
No one,<br>
But isn't she a little bit, well,<br>
You know,<br>
Face it,<br>
Why her?<br>
Better,<br>
No one--<br>
<br>
JENNY:<br>
...wants you to be happy<br>
More than I do,<br>
No one,<br>
But--<br>
<br>
SARAH & JENNY:<br>
Isn't she a little bit, well,<br>
You know,<br>
Face it--<br>
<br>
SUSAN:<br>
You know, no one<br>
Wants you to be happy<br>
More than I do--<br>
<br>
AMY & JOANNE:<br>
You know, no one<br>
Wants you to be happy<br>
More than I do,<br>
No one,<br>
But--<br>
<br>
ALL:<br>
Isn't she a little bit, well--<br>
<br>
[Variously]<br>
<br>
Dumb?<br>
Tacky?<br>
Vulgar?<br>
Old?<br>
Tall?<br>
Aggressive?<br>
Where is she from?<br>
Neurotic?<br>
Peculiar?<br>
And cheap?<br>
She seems so dead.<br>
She's tall enough to be your mother.<br>
And gross?<br>
Depressing?<br>
She's very weird.<br>
And immature?<br>
Goliath!<br>
<br>
[Together]<br>
<br>
Poor baby, all alone,<br>
Throw a lonely dog a bone, it's still a bone.<br>
We're the only tenderness he's ever known.<br>
Poor baby!<br>
