(ENTERS STAGE, LIGHTS DOWN, LIGHTS UP)

Warm smiles greet you

You never guess that they loathe you

That they wipe the smiles with the backs of their hands

That they try instantly to forget

They smiled

At worthless, unknowing

You (EXHALE) do not deserve their wit

Their charm their infinite knowledge

Of infinite things, they’re infinite dreams

And warm smiles they--

Know what they know and what they know

Is this: (DRAG)

They need you

Without you (LIGHTS DOWN PLEASE), the stage is empty (WAIT A FEW SECONDS FOR HER TO GET OFF STAGE AND THEN LIGHTS UP PLEASE, THANK YOU)
