My New Philosophy - Kristin Chenoweth
Spoken: Sally: Oh yeah? That’s what you think! Schroeder: What? Sally: That’s my new philosophy. Oh yeah? That’s what you think! Schroeder: Well, why are you telling me? Sally: What? Schroeder: WHY are you telling me? Sally: Why are you telling me… I like it! That’s a good philosophy. Why are you telling me? WHY are you telling me? Sung: Sally: Why are you telling me: my new philosophy. The teacher gave a D on last week’s homework! She said, “Miss Sally Brown, your grades are goin’ down.” I should have told her- Schroeder: Your new philosophy? Sally: My new philosophy. *imitates teacher* “Miss B?” I’m she. “Look, see.” A D? A D. Well, why are you telling me? And that’s my new philosophy! Schroeder: That’s your new philosophy? Sally: Why are you telling me- my new philosophy! Spoken: Schroeder: That’s great, Sally, but I’ve gotta go practice Chopin’s Nocturn in B flat minor… Sally: No! I like it! No! That’s a good philosophy… No! No! No! Schroeder: That’s your new philosophy, huh? Sally: Yes! *gasps* I mean, no! Just like a busy bee, each new philosophy can fly from tree to tree and keep me moving. When Life’s a dizzy maze on alternating days I choose a different phrase! Schroeder: Your new philosophy. Sally: My new philosophy. Schroeder: Sally! Some philosophies are simple: “Man does not live by bread alone.” Some philosophies are clear: Sally: “Leave your massage at the sound of the tone”? Both: Some philosophies pick and choose deciding what goes in, and Schroeder: Some take a lifetime! Sally: Mine take a minute! Spoken: Schroeder: But Sally, anything that takes only a minute can’t be very lasting! For instance, Beethoven took over two years to complete his brilliant Ninth Symphony. Sally: No! Schroeder: I can’t stand it! Sally: *In whiney voice
