She's Ella Fitzgerald; you're not.
Wise words.
I'm marking that for my mother. Her favorite musical is Oklahoma! , and she's the reason I know the words to so many musicals. (Curse her.)
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
We watched Oklahoma on vacation, and I forgot how utterly ludicrous the ending is.
Curly: "Oh yeah, I just killed that dude -- let's go on our honeymoon and have lots of sex!"
Official Dude: "Well, Curly, I have to arrest you."
Curly: "But it's my HONEYMOON! Just LOOK at that fine piece of ass!"
Official Dude: "Okay, Curly, tell me -- did you MEAN to kill Jud?"
Curly: "Um...self-defense! Yeah, that's it! Now can I go have sex with Laurie?"
Official Dude: "Well, that breaks about 10 different laws, but...."
Aunt Eller: "Seriously, Official Dude, I will beat you down if you don't let them go."
Official Dude: "Have a nice honeymoon! Get some for me!"
WTF, man?!? Plus the whole part where Curly killed Jud and is in NO WAY traumatized by the fact and is all hot to trot for the honeymoon sex.

Got to love the Shiny! Happy! midcentury musicals.

Although Rogers and Hammerstein did go on to do much darker musicals--"Carousel" and "South Pacific," especially.

Ohhhh... so many political jokes that could be inserted here. Will bite on fist and creep off to a corner until the impulse passes.
