- It's fine.

- He's coming back.

Okay.

- Whoo!

- Hey, everything okay?

Yeah, fine.

I didn't mean to upset you.

Did I?

- Did I upset you, Anita?

- It's-- I don't--

I just really don't know

what you were saying.

- Um...

- What happened?

- I--

- I missed it.

I was teasing Anita and...

I think I was--

I was misunderstood.

I-- I just--

I'm clumsy sometimes.

- I-- I don't mean to be.

- I don't know.

Sometimes it takes me

a little while to get

the gears going and everything.

You all seem like very nice people,

I think.

Gee, thanks.

Yeah.

Well, I'm certainly

glad that

you all are doing this piece.

I have a really good feeling about it

and I just wanted to say cheers

- to all of you.

- Cheers.

Ah. So, Martine,

what did you think

of what you saw today?

What did you think?

well, I was curious why you chose

to focus on these people,

because they don't--

they don't seem very much like you.

You don't know her.

Oh, I- I--

That's true, Anita.

I don't.

That's very--

that's very true.

Well, I-- I think they're interesting.

- Mm-hmm.

- Do you think they're interesting?

Hmm.

Uh, yes, I-- probably, yeah.

They probably are.

I don't get your point, Tyrone.

What-what-- what's your point?

You know what it is?

I'm just tired.

I-- I--

I'm gonna excuse myself.

Really?

Yeah.

- I'll see y'all later.

- See you tomorrow.

He's a load of laughs.

I like him.

It's probably hard for him.

We all know each other,

he's just coming in.

- Yeah.

- I'm sure he's intimidated by me.

I'm sure he was.

I dreamt that I was under a tree.

Oh, Tyrone. Hi.

Where are you going?

I was up all night,

but I think I was dreaming,

so I must've slept some.

Um, you like Julie?

Yeah, I like Julie too.

Now try it just--

just speaking the melody,

- not-- not singing it.

- Not singing?

- Great.

- You sure?

Oh yeah.

Okay. Ahem.

I didn't know you.

You didn't know me.

- But now I can see you.

- You see what I see.

- Now you're inside me...

- And I'm inside you...

-...and I'm inside you.

-...and you're inside me.

- I sit here with her...

- I sit here with him.

...and I'm thinking of you

and you're thinking of me.

And when we're together,

we know they're alone.

- Not really alone.

- They're not really alone.

- We know they're together...

- Like the earth and a stone.

-...like a dog and a bone.

- But I don't care.

And I care less, 'cause

my hand's in yours.

And it's touching my dress.

Take me home, please.

You've got me all emotional.

Take me home, please.

You've got me all emotional.

Please don't take my piano player.

Well, for the record,

- he's my piano player.

- Well, for the record,

- he's my piano player.
