A Day in Falsettoland

Start from the beginning
                                    

The group laugh again at what On Stage Trina is doing.

Sometimes I'm a lout
Mendel serenades, and Jason calms me
Why should I be wilting
When their precious love is not in doubt?
Work it out!

[JASON, spoken]
The neighbors relax after work

[Cordelia enters with food. Charlotte enters their home.]

[CORDELIA]
How was your day at the hospital?

[CHARLOTTE]
Unbelievable
What is that smell?

[CORDELIA]
Nouvelle bar mitzvah cuisine
I've been practicing
Cuisine, bar mitzvah, nouvelle

[Cordelia hands Charlotte some food.

[CORDELIA, spoken]
Well?

Cordelia gasps, faking offence, "You spat it out when I left." Charlotte just shrugs and smiles.

Mendel joins Trina, now also dressed to work out.]

The group laugh again. (ah god, i feel like this is so repetitive. i'm sorry, i'll change it when i think of something)

[MENDEL]
How was your day?

[TRINA]
It was terrible
Did you hear that Marvin's back with Whizzer?
Marvin's back with Whizzer!

"It wasn't that big of a deal, was it?" Whizzer asks. Trina pretends not to hear him.

[MENDEL]
Drop it, sweetheart
Give it up
You know I love you
What's the matter, Trina darling?
I don't get it
Why can't you let go?

[TRINA]
Maybe in a mile, I'll be okay
I'll be happy when we finally have this bar mitzvah

[MENDEL]
Isn't it enough
I want you every night?

[TRINA, spoken]
Who?

[MENDEL]
Every other night?

[TRINA, spoken]
Me?

[MENDEL]
Every third night?

[Trina laughs]

[MENDEL, spoken]
Okay, let's drop it

(sung)
Everything will be alright

[TRINA]
Everything will be alright

[MENDEL & TRINA]
Everything will be alright

[Cordelia has just poured Charlotte a martini.]

[CORDELIA]
How was your day
At the hospital?

[CHARLOTTE]
It was wonderful
For the first time in months
Nobody died

Jade laughed. (that's actually pretty impressive tho,, for no one to die in the entire hospital 👏🏽)

[CORDELIA, spoken]
Yay..?
