[rhoda]

[ensemble]
911 emergency
take him down to nyu
stroke’s a possibility
[rhoda]
i should try to locate roger!
[dr. berensteiner]

[ensemble]
and up!
[richard]
take the pulse and watch his eyes
[nancy d.]
call the department of neurology
[rhoda]
i should try to locate his mother
[ensemble]
somebody try to locate his mother!
[richard]
when was he last seen eating?
[rhoda]
i don’t know!
[nancy d.]
hysterics are self-defeating
don’t you know?
[dr. berensteiner/richard/nancy d.]
presence of bleeding
where this whole mess is leading
we cannot say for sure yet
[rhoda]
roger’s sailing near martha’s vineyard
[nancy d.]
patient’s name?
[rhoda]
gordon schwinn
[nancy d.]
are you next of kin?
[rhoda]
i wish! we work together. he’s g-y
[nancy d.]
is he hiv?
[rhoda]
i can’t be absolutely sure but i don’t think so. no! the answer is no! i think?
[nancy d.]
first the blood test then ekg
[ensemble]
and then?
[nancy d.]
get a cat scan and watch his eyes!
[ensemble]
and then?
[nancy d.]
call the department of neurology!
[rhoda]
i should try to cancel my meeting
[ensemble]
and then?
[rhoda]
i should get in touch with his mother!
[ensemble]
and then?
[rhoda]
i should try to locate roger!
[gordon]
all the songs i never wrote
fizzle and remain
all the songs i did not start
all the rhymes i never made
all the stories i delayed in telling
are welling up inside my brain
i should explain
i have so many songs!
i have so many songs!
i have so many songs!
[the minister]
stories of p-ssion
stories of friendship
and tales of how romance survives
[gordon]
i have so many songs!
[the minister]
stories of yes-es
of frogs making messes
and poor, unsuccessful and fat people’s lives
[gordon]
stories of living
[the minister]
stories of living
[gordon]
stories of dying
[the minister]
stories of dying
[gordon/the minister]
and ways we can deal with our fears
[gordon]
stories of horses
parental divorces
and how rich or poor
it’s a very small sphere
where we appear
