MRS. GABOR (Spoken)
 Dear Herr Stief - Moritz,
 I’ve spent the entire day thinking about your note
 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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 huh…uh huh…uh huh…well, fine
 Not like it’s even worth the time
 But still, you know, you wanted more
 Sorry, it won’t 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 Melchior’s mother, I [bad word] believe it to be my duty to curb this momentary loss…

 MORITZ
 The thing that sucks- okay?- for me
 thousand bucks, I’m, like, scott free
 And I mean, please…That’s 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 could’ve 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, it’s too absurd
 You start to ask, can’t hear a word
 You’re 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!
 You’ll write my folks? Well, okay
 Babe, that’s 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 don’t…

 They’re not my home, not anymore
 Not like they so were before
 Still, I’ll split, and they’ll 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 huh…uh huh…uh huh…well, fine
 Not like it’s even worth the time
 But still, you know, you wanted more
 Okay, so nothing’s changed – heard that before

 You wanna laugh, it’s too absurd
 You start to ask, can’t hear a word
 You wanna crash and burn
 Right, tell me more

 You start to cave, you start to cry
 You try [bad word]  nowhere to hide
 You want to [bad word] 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,
 [bad word] Gabor

 MORITZ
 Just [bad word] it – right? Enough, that’s it
 You’ll still go on – well, for a bit
 Another day of utter [bad word]  And then there were none…

 MORITZ & BOYS
 And, then there were none…
 And, then there were none…
 And, then there were none…
