FOLLOWS "I Can Do That"

(During BOBBY's monologue.)

RICHIE
 And 
What if I'm next  
What if I'm next 
What am I gonna do 
I haven't got a clue.
I gotta think of something.
What does he want 
What does he want 
Stories from the past 
I better find one fast!

MAGGIE, GREG, RICHIE, VAL, BEBE, PAUL
What should I say 
What can I tell him 

VAL
 And 
Orphan at three.
Orphan at three.
Mother and Dad both gone.
Raised by a sweet ex-con.
Tied up and raped at seven.
Seriously!  Seriously!
Nothing too obscene!
I'd better keep it clean.

DIANA, CONNIE, RICHIE, VAL, SHEILA, DON
What should I say 
What can I tell him 

JUDY
 And 
God, I'm a wreck.
God, I'm a wreck.
I don't know where to start.
I'm gonna fall apart.
Where are my childhood mem'ries 
Who were the boys 
What were the toys 
Gone beyond recall!
And why am I so tall !!
What should I say 

ALL
What can I tell him 

JUDY
 And 

CONNIE, MAGGIE
 And 

RICHIE
 And 

VAL, DIANA
 And 

BOBBY (end of monologue)
 to commit suicide in Buffalo is redundant.
