And Then There Were None - John Gallagher Jr..mp3

[00:01.32]Dear Herr Stiefel...
[00:02.48]Moritz, I've spent the entire day thinking about your note.
[00:06.83]Truly, it touched me, it did, that you'd think of me as a friend.
[00:10.83]Of course, I was saddened to hear that
[00:13.10]your exams came off rather less well
[00:14.92] than you'd hoped and that you will not be promoted, come fall.
[00:18.52]And yet, I must say straightaway,
[00:20.66]that fleeing to America is hardly the solution.
[00:23.99]And even if it were, I cannot provide the money you request...
[00:28.13]Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, well, fine
[00:29.59]Not like it's even worth the time
[00:31.90]But still, you know, you wanted more
[00:33.91]Sorry, it won't change—been there before
[00:38.37]You would do me wrong, Herr Stiefel,
[00:40.77]to read into my refusal any lack of affection.
[00:44.71]On the contrary, as Melchior's mother,
[00:48.59]I truly believe it to be my duty to curb this momentary loss of...
[00:53.14]The thing that sucks—okay?—for me
[00:54.63]A thousand bucks, I'm like, scot-free
[00:56.55]And I mean, please...that's all I need
[00:58.51]Get real, Jose—by now you know the score
[01:02.15]Should you like, I am ready to write to your parents.
[01:05.86]I will try to convince them that
[01:10.39]no one could have worked harder last semester,
[01:10.75]and also that too rigorous a condemnation of
[01:14.29]your current misfortune
[01:15.66]could have the gravest possible effect on...
[01:18.00]You wanna laugh, it's too absurd
[01:21.28]You start to ask, can't hear a word
[01:25.43]You're gonna crash and burn
[01:28.44]Right, tell me more
[01:32.41]Still, Herr Stiefel, one thing in your letter disturbed me.
[01:36.83]Your—what shall we call it?—
[01:39.96]veiled threat that, should escape not be possible,
[01:44.29]you would take your own life...
[01:46.50]Okay so, now we do the play
[01:48.23]Act like we so care—no way
[01:50.36]You'll write my folks? Well, okay
[01:52.44]Babe, that's how it goes
[01:57.16]My dear boy, the world is filled with men—
[02:00.06]businessmen, scientists, scholars even—
[02:03.31]who have done rather poorly in school,
[02:05.92]and yet gone on to brilliant careers.
[02:08.81]Consider, for example, our friend, Leopold...
[02:11.35]They'll freak, or won't—you toe the line
[02:14.57]You tell your soul, "Just kill some time"
[02:18.43]Will it quit? It will until they don't
[02:25.33]They're not my home, not anymore
[02:31.76]Not like they so were before
[02:35.57]Still, I'll split, and they'll, like
[02:39.07]Well, who knows? Who knows? Who knows...
[02:48.72]In any case, I assure you that your present misfortune
[02:51.61]will have no effect on my feelings for you,
[02:54.46]or on your relationship with Melchior...
[02:57.19]Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, well, fine
[02:58.92]Not like it's even worth the time
[03:00.67]But still, you know, you wanted more
[03:02.65]Okay, so nothing's changed...
[03:04.40]...heard that before
[03:07.09]You wanna laugh, it's too absurd
[03:10.92]You start to ask, can't hear a word
[03:15.19]You wanna crash and burn...
[03:17.99]...right, tell me more
[03:21.00]You start to cave, you start to cry
[03:25.41]You try to run, nowhere to hide
[03:29.65]You want to crumble up and close that door
[03:35.49]So, head high, Herr Stiefel.
[03:37.27]And do let me hear from you soon.
[03:39.22]In the meantime, I am unchangingly
[03:41.96]and most fondly yours, Fanny Gabor
[03:46.25]Just **** it—right? Enough, that's it
[03:48.51]You'll still go on—well, for a bit
[03:50.42]Another day of utter ****—
[03:52.43]And then there were none
[03:58.02]And then there were none...
[04:01.21]And then there were none...
[04:05.65]And then there were none...
