FOLLOWS `I Can Do That`

(During BOBBY`s monologue.)

RICHIE
And
What if I`m next
What if I`m next
What am I gonna do
I haven`t got a clue.
I gotta think of something.
What does he want
What does he want
Stories from the past
I better find one fast!

MAGGIE, GREG, RICHIE, VAL, BEBE, PAUL
What should I say
What can I tell him

VAL
And
Orphan at three.
Orphan at three.
Mother and Dad both gone.
Raised by a sweet ex-con.
Tied up and raped at seven.
Seriously! Seriously!
Nothing too obscene!
I`d better keep it clean.

DIANA, CONNIE, RICHIE, VAL, SHEILA, DON
What should I say
What can I tell him

JUDY
And
God, I`m a wreck.
God, I`m a wreck.
I don`t know where to start.
I`m gonna fall apart.
Where are my childhood mem`ries
Who were the boys
What were the toys
Gone beyond recall!
And why am I so tall !!
What should I say

ALL
What can I tell him

JUDY
And

CONNIE, MAGGIE
And

RICHIE
And

VAL, DIANA
And

BOBBY (end of monologue)
to commit suicide in Buffalo is redundant
