[WHIZZER, spoken]
A day in Falsettoland
Dr. Mendel at work

[MENDEL]
I don't get it
I don't understand

"Mood."

In the '60s, everyone had heart
In the '60s, we were all a part of the same team
In the '60s, we had a new world to start
Could this-
Oh God, don't say it is-
Could this be the new world we started?
Here I sit, brokenhearted and...

[CAROLINE, spoken]
You go out on the street, and there's all these people asking for a handout. Then you go home, you open up your mail, and it's full of people asking for a donation. Then, you turn on the TV, and there's pictures of starving children in Ethiopia

[MENDEL, spoken]
And how does that make you feel, Diane?

[CAROLINE, spoken]
Caroline

[MENDEL, spoken]
Caroline?

[CAROLINE, spoken]
Yes, my name is Caroline

"That's awkward." Charlotte winces.

[MENDEL]
I don't get it
I've been left behind
Half my patients: Yuppie pagans
Modeled on the Ronald Reagans
Now the world is too pathetic
And I don't get it at all

[CAROLINE, spoken]
Now that I got the promotion, can I finally stop sleeping with my boss?

Jason groans at another mention of sex. (dude me too honestly)

[MENDEL, spoken]
Time's up!

[CAROLINE, spoken]
You always do this!

[The patient exits.]

[Trina enters, stretching, and dressed for a work out.]

Laughs fill the room, Trina included.

[MENDEL]
At least there's Trina at home
Trina in bed
Trina obsessing

"Mom what are you doing?" Jason asked raising his eyebrows.

"Shush you!"

And sort of caressing
My head with her feet

Cordelia snorts and then covers it with a cough.

I once thought it was sweet
But I don't anymore
Now I just snore
'Cause I'm so exhausted

Marvin chuckles at On Stage Trina causing actual Trina to slightly glare at him shutting him up.

Listening to these yuppie farts complain
Listening as their shallow hearts explain
Their lives

[CHARLOTTE, spoken]
Trina works it out

(i love the double meaning behind that; trina legitimately working out, but also working out what's going on with marvin and whizzer)

[TRINA]
Marvin's back with Whizzer
Just like how it was
If I don't like Whizzer
It's because my ex sure does
Why should that upset me?
