FILE You may be right—that it can last. But it didn’t. She walked out on me. LIZZIE Was it someone else? FILE Yes it was. He was a schoolteacher. Dammit, a schoolteacher! LIZZIE Well, what was he like? FILE He had weak hands and nearsighted eyes— and he always looked like he was about ready to faint—and she ran off with him! And there I was— LIZZIE Well, maybe the schoolteacher needed her and you didn’t. FILE Sure I needed her! LIZZIE Did you tell her so? FILE No, I didn’t. If it gets so bad you gotta say things like that— LIZZIE You gotta say things like that. File, if you’d have asked, maybe she mighta stayed! FILE I know damn well she mighta stayed! The night she left, she said to me: “Tell me—don’t go!” LIZZIE And you didn’t? FILE I tried—I couldn’t! LIZZIE Oh, pride! FILE If a woman wants to go, let her go! If you have to hold her back— LIZZIE File, it’s just two words—“don’t go”—and you couldn’t say them? FILE It’s not the words. It’s beggin’—and I won’t beg! LIZZIE Oh, well you are a fool! (Abruptly realizing she has put her foot in it with her impulsive honesty, she is stricken.) Oh, my, what am I getting’ so serious about? I’m not a serious-talkin’ girl at all—not at all! No, I’m not. What I am is happy-go-lucky! Oh my! What a lovely black bow tie! Did I ever tell you I just adore a man in a black bow tie! Do you make it yourself? FILE No, it comes ready made. LIZZIE Oh! Well it’s lovely, and look at your shiny buttons. Can I count your buttons? Let’s see, you got one—two—three— FILE Quit that! Stop sashayin’ around, makin’ a fool of yourself! LIZZIE And those pearly white teeth! FILE Stop it! What do you take me for? What do you take yourself for? LIZZIE File, I… I was just— FILE Don’t! Don’t be so damn ridiculous. Be yourself! LIZZIE File! File! [Thanks to Maria for lyrics] Back to main page: 110 in the Shade Lyrics
