Hey!

Soapsuds all around

Little bubbles on the ground

Rub a dub a dub

in her little tub

W-What's the condition?

Jesus, Richie, I c--

I can't remember.

I went to school years ago.

God if you-if you pay

attention in class...

You hated school.

What? No, I didn't, I liked it.

I liked school

but-but I had to quit,

we were poor

you know, I had to work.

I was lucky.

I was lucky. I-

I had some talent.

You know, I-I was a-

I was a--

I was a very promising

young actress.

Oh, God. Oh, God, if you could've

seen me in some of those shows...

Let me show you a couple of

pieces but this is-this--

-Again?

-this is from Dulcey, okay?

You know, I know I

showed you these pieces

but I never know if you're

paying any attention.

I wore this in Dulcey, look at

that, it's not real, but, you know.

-I've seen it.

-Isn't it beautiful?

God, look at that, it's--

let me show you this uh...

Wait, did I show you the, uh,

the piece from the musical?

-Yes.

-from--okay?

I don't know if I did,

I had an incredible voice,

you know, I almost

got the lead in that show

and the-the girl who

got the part...

she was fat.

I had a much better

voice than her.

Is that where you met Dad?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, your-your real

father was a drummer.

He played jazz music.

God, he had perfect rhythm.

Oh! It was quite amazing.

And he also had black hair and...

he had...he had green eyes...

-Oh.

-Where is my father?

My real father?

I told you many times.

Gone.

A rainy day at the beach.

Time off for me.

Nobody swims during

a lightning storm.

I guess this is as good

a time as any to tell you.

I'm having an affair with Ginny.

Humpty's wife.

Let me fill you in on that.

It started at the

beginning of the summer.

At that point, I didn't know

either Humpty or Ginny.

I saw the harbor lights

They only told me

we were parting

The same old harbor lights

That once brought you to me

I watched the harbor lights

How could I help

if tears were starting

Goodbye to tender nights

And then, at the end of a

cloudy day, it started to rain.

And the last few stragglers were

packing up and leaving the beach.

And suddenly, this

kind of interesting woman

comes walking along

the water's edge.

And the dramatist in me

sensed she was in

some kind of trouble

because her body language

read "vulnerable"

and "desperate."

Miss...

you can't be out here right now.

Everybody has to go in.

We're expecting lightning storms.

What?

Yeah, we gotta-we gotta go in.

We gotta clear the beach.

Really?

Yeah, we gotta go in.

Yeah, I've...I've been

all over the world.

I went to NYU and

right when I started, boom.
