Brandon Uranowitz, Stephanie J. Block, Christian Borle - A Marriage Proposal / A Tight-Knit Family

[JASON]

This is how you make a marriage proposal


[MENDEL]

I love you dear

I think you're swell

You're never near me close enough to tell

If I'm delightful or not


I crave your wrist

I praise your thigh

There's not a guy

There's not a piece of paper

There's not a man in pants

Who could love you the same as I!


Oftentimes, lovers are crazy people

Sometimes they kill each other

Just like a biblical brother

Did to his biblical brother

Back in biblical times


[TRINA]

Biblical times?


[MARVIN]

Biblical times?


[MENDEL]

Biblical times

Oh, those biblical times!


I love your eyes

I love your face

I want you by my side to take my place

If I get sick or detained


Don't touch your hair, you're perfect

Don't start to cry

There's not a guy

There's not a horse or zebra

There's not a giant man

Who could love you the same as I!


Forget that giant man

He can't love you the same as I!

I'm not a giant man


[TRINA]

Good


[MENDEL]

But I'll love you until

Love you until

I die!



[MARVIN]

Well, the situation's this;

I don't want to cause a stink

I divorced my wife

She dried her eyes

Then she ran off with my shrink


But I want a tight-knit family

I want a wife who knows what love is

Maybe she does, I'm too damn peeved

Too self-absorbed

Too self-deceived

Who knows?


[MENDEL]

I should worry what he says

Like his words could hurt me worse

Marvin acts bereft

My acts of theft

Are incredibly perverse


[MARVIN]

You said it


[MENDEL]

It's embarrassing

But I've got a nice, tight family

Son with a brain and nice, bright mother

Yes, I feel guilt. Yes, I'm annoyed

So was Jung, so was Freud!


But I, I know you'll come through it


[MARVIN]

I...I can't believe she loves you


[MENDEL]

If so, you'll end looking rich


[MARVIN]

Why, I'm sure she cannot love you!

But nothing's impossible!


[MENDEL]

Look who's got power


[MARVIN]

Ah, King of the Losers!


[MENDEL]

At eighty an hour!

He can bitch

I can stall


[MARVIN]

I want


[MENDEL]

I've got


[MARVIN]

I want


[BOTH]

It all!

I'm sure we're gonna come through it!

No doubt, the bastard prepares!

We're needy and wanting

We're greedy as swine!


[MENDEL]

I just got a family


[MARVIN]

The family was mine!


[BOTH]

But he dares

Dares to brawl?


[MENDEL] / [MARVIN]

I got it all! / I want it all!

I got it all! / I want it all!

I got it all! / I want it all!
