Loading...

[jason]
my father says that love
is the most beautiful thing in the world
i think games are
i think chess is the most
beautiful thing
not love

[whizzer]
marvin at the psychiatrist, a three-part mini-opera
part one

[mendel]
do you love him?

[marvin]
sorta kinda

[mendel]
do you need him?

[marvin]
sorta, kinda
he makes me smile a lot
especially at mealtime
it makes me feel i’m sorta smart

[mendel]
is he special?

[marvin]
he’s delightful

[mendel]
and romantic?

[marvin]
yes, but spiteful
and yet it seems that so am i

[mendel]
just enjoy what you can
love the boy
not the man

[marvin]
man

[marvin]
sorta stylish

[mendel]
kinda very

[marvin spoken]
very, very sorta

[mendel]
and kind of hard to describe

[marvin spoken]
yes, you know, i think that’s true

[mendel]
when he’s naked

[marvin sung]
yes?

[mendel]
does he thrill you?

[marvin elated]
yes!

[mendel]
is he vicious?

[marvin]
yes!

[mendel]
would he k!ll you?

[marvin]
(thinking) yes
i think he’s sorta kinda mean
but i love him, and i need it
if he loved me i’d concede it

[mendel]
don’t despise what you feel
love the friend, not the heel

[marvin]
heel

[mendel]
he’s sometimes worthless

[marvin]
sometimes evil

[mendel]
sometimes smarmy

[whizzer]
part two

[mendel]
it’s queer mister marvin-
sorry

[marvin]
jesus

[mendel]
strange mister marvin
how your wife- your ex-wife’s meager glories
coupled with her tragic stories
moves me in reported ways

[marvin]
she’s a very good woman
she’s a wonderful woman

[mendel]
do you mind that?
she was here to speak of jason
and i find that
i hope jason acts out more
’cause there’s a few more things
we need explore

[marvin spoken]
oh no, i understand

[mendel spoken]
good, very good. very, very, good!
i feel a lot better already
going on…

[mendel sung]
was she a vicious woman?

[marvin spoken]
no

[mendel]
did she beat the child?

[marvin spoken]
no!

[mendel]
did she ever drive you wild?

[marvin]
no

[mendel spoken]
never?

[marvin]
no

[mendel]
never?

[marvin]
no

[mendel]
never never never never?

[marvin]
no

[mendel]
never?

[marvin]
no

[mendel]
never?

[marvin]
no no no!

[mendel sung]
was she faithful?
be objective

[marvin]
well, yes

[mendel]
she was faithful?

[marvin]
yes

[mendel]
and her last caress was-

[marvin sung]
careless

[mendel]
you mean careful?

[marvin]
careful, not to show she cared

[mendel]
so you weren’t prepared
for the crying
and the screaming

[marvin]
and the beating of the breast!
(spoken) i don’t want to be rude

[mendel]
does she sleep in the nude?

[marvin]
…no

[mendel]
no? going on

[mendel]
didya’ like that?
would she change it if she knew you didn’t like that?
did she wear a negligee
could you blow and it would blow away?

i don’t mean to interfere
i would like to make that very clear

[whizzer]
part three

[marvin]
my son’s distressing

[jason]
my father’s snide

[marvin]
i’m convalescing

[jason]
he’s morbid and dissatisfied

[marvin]
what should i do now?

[jason]
he loves another

[marvin]
i agree

[jason]
i love my mother

[marvin]
why not me?

we go to ball games

[jason]
the ball is tossed

[marvin]
the pitcher’s handsome

[jason]
and our team lost

[marvin]
is that my problem
should i be blamed for that?

[jason]
explore museums

[marvin]
admire art

[jason]
we stand together

[marvin]
but we stand there looking miles apart
how do i reach him
what words of wisdom
what should i do now?

[jason]
my father says that love
is the most beautiful thing in the world
i think games are
i think chess is the most
beautiful thing
not love

[mendel]
marvin at the psychiatrist, a three-part mini-opera
the end
