MRS. GABOR (Spoken)
Dear Herr Stief - Moritz,
Ive spent the entire day thinking about your note
Truly it touched me it did that you would think of me as a friend
Of course, I was saddened to hear that
Your exams came off rather less well than you'd hoped
And that you will not be promoted, come fall
And, yet, I must say straightaway that
fleeing to America is hardly the solution
And, even if it were, I cannot provide the money you request
MORITZ
Uh huhuh huhuh huhwell, fine
Not like its even worth the time
But still, you know, you wanted more
Sorry, it wont change been there before
MRS. GABOR (Spoken)
You would do me wrong,
Herr Stiefel to read into my refusal any lack of affection
On the contrary, as Melchiors mother,
I truly believe it to be my duty to curb this momentary loss
MORITZ
The thing that sucks- okay?- for me
A thousand bucks, Im, like, scott free
And I mean, pleaseThats all I need
Get real, Jose!
By now you know the score
MRS. GABOR (Spoken)
Should you like, I am ready to write your parents
I will try to convince them that no
one couldve worked harder last semester
And also that too rigorous a condemnation of your current misfortune
Could have the gravest possible effect on
MORITZ
You wanna laugh, its too absurd
You start to ask, cant hear a word
Youre gonna crash and burn
Right, tell me more
MRS. GABOR (Spoken)
Still, Herr Stiefel, one thing in your letter disturbed me
Your what shall we call it?
veiled threat that should escape not be possible
You would take your own life
MORITZ
Okay, so now we do the play
Act like we so care. No way!
Youll write my folks? Well, okay
Babe, thats how it goes
MRS. GABOR (Spoken)
My dear boy, the world is filled with men
Businessmen, scientists,
scholars even who have done rather poorly in school
And yet, gone on to brilliant careers
Consider for example our friend...
MORITZ
They freak or won't
You toe the line
You tell your soul, Just kill some time.
Will it quit? It will until they dont
Theyre not my home, not anymore
Not like they so were before
Still, Ill split, and theyll like
Well, who knows?
MRS. GABOR (Spoken)
In any case, I assure you that
your present misfortune will have no effect on my feelings for you
Or, on your relationship with Melchior
MORITZ & BOYS
Uh huhuh huhuh huhwell, fine
Not like its even worth the time
But still, you know, you wanted more
Okay, so nothings changed heard that before
You wanna laugh, its too absurd
You start to ask, cant hear a word
You wanna crash and burn
Right, tell me more
You start to cave, you start to cry
You try to run, nowhere to hide
You want to crumble up, and close that door
MRS. GABOR (Spoken)
So, head high, Herr Stiefel!
And do let me hear from you soon
In the meantime, I am unchangingly, and most fondly yours,
Fanny Gabor
MORITZ
Just fuck it right? Enough, thats it
Youll still go on well, for a bit
Another day of utter shit
And then there were none
MORITZ & BOYS
And, then there were none
And, then there were none
And, then there were none
