[00:05.797]ALISON: I want to know what's true
[00:08.417]Dig deep into who
[00:10.760]And what and why and when
[00:14.330]Until now gives way to then...
[00:24.774]ROY, spoken: Woah. Nice room
[00:27.054]BRUCE, spoken: Here's the wallpaper. It's not William Morris but it's close. It's pretty close
[00:32.469]ROY, spoken: You read all these books?
[00:35.257]BRUCE, spoken: Oh, working on it
[00:37.545]ROY, spoken: That is not something I can imagine
[00:39.625]BRUCE, spoken: No, I remember from class; you're not much of a reader
[00:42.983]ROY, spoken: No. Read some good books in your class, though
[00:47.859]BRUCE, spoken: It's my job... to make it interesting
[00:55.312]ALISON, spoken: It's like a 1950s lesbian pulp novel
[00:59.498]"Their tawdry love could only flourish in the shadows."
[01:03.666]SMALL ALISON, spoken: I like Roy. He's funny
[01:06.029]HELEN, spoken: Alison, find something to do. I'm practicing
[01:10.399]SMALL ALISON, spoken: Did Chop-In write "Chopsticks"?
[01:13.554]HELEN, spoken: It's "Sho-Pahn." Alison, stop bothering me
[01:19.036]ROY, spoken: This place is like a museum. What's that stuff?
[01:23.961]BRUCE, spoken: Sherry. Want some?
[01:26.264]ROY, spoken: Is it any good?
[01:27.587]BRUCE, spoken: Yeah
[01:28.363]ROY, spoken: Sure
[01:31.402]I remember this house before you moved in. We used to ride our bikes here all the time when we were kids. You've done a shit-load of work
[01:40.688]BRUCE, spoken: I did. By myself, most of it
[01:43.560]ROY, spoken: You must be in good shape, old man
[01:47.745]BRUCE, spoken: Not too bad, if I say so myself
[01:52.564](sung) I might still break a heart or two
[01:56.165]You'd be surprised just what a guy my age knows how to do
[02:01.407](spoken) Want it?
[02:04.206]ROY, spoken: Yeah
[02:05.487]BRUCE, spoken: Unbutton your shirt
[02:09.892]ROY, spoken: Is that your wife playing the piano?
[02:14.038]BRUCE, spoken: Don't worry about her

[03:04.088]ROY: I know this type
[03:05.648]This type of married guy
[03:08.555]I could just give him the slip
[03:12.236]But why
[03:13.265]It's not a big deal
[03:14.834]I know he wants me
[03:18.217]ROY: I know this type, this type of married guy (HELEN: I want, I want)(BRUCE: I might still)
[03:22.931]I could just give him the slip, but why? (HELEN: I want, I…) (BRUCE: break a heart or two)
[03:27.118]It's not a big deal, I know he wants just (BRUCE: I want just)
