"Thanks for the Care Package..." 歌词
MEDIUM ALISON: Dear Mom and Dad,
Thanks for the care package. I was running out of granola bars so it came just in the nick of time.
They sell a kind here I swear is made of paste...
Nothing else worth writing home about. Har-Har.
Al
I could draw you some posters.
JOAN: Nah, we need them tomorrow night.
MEDIUM ALISON: I could do it right now!
JOAN: Really?
MEDIUM ALLISON: Yeah, just some simple drawing, right?
JOAN: Sure.
MEDIUM ALLISON: So, you want them to say...?
JOAN: We just need some really good "No Nukes" posters.
MEDIUM ALISON: Right. Okay.
So I was thinking...maybe...maybe something like...
JOAN: Oh. That's funny. That's really good.
MEDIUM ALISON: This? No, this is just quick and stupid...
JOAN: Who's this? In the photo?
MEDIUM ALISON: My dad.
JOAN: That's your dad?
MEDIUM ALISON: Yeah!
JOAN: He looks cool. Did he teach you how to draw cartoons?
MEDIUM ALISON: Ooh, definitely not.
JOAN: Why's that funny?
MEDIUM ALISON: Oh, it's not funny; he's just more, I don't know, uh, refined?
JOAN: I think it's amazing he's cool with you being a dyke.
MEDIUM ALISON: What? Could we talk about something else?
JOAN: Sure... Why?
MEDIUM ALISON: Because I don't know how my parents feel about... I just figured it out myself.
JOAN: Oh.
MEDIUM ALISON: About two weeks ago...
JOAN: Huh... With who?
MEDIUM ALISON: "With who" what?
JOAN: Who were you with?
MEDIUM ALISON: Oh, nobody... Nobody! Oh my God. I'm so embarrassed. I was in a bookstore...
JOAN: In a bookstore?! Nice!
MEDIUM ALISON: What? No! Two weeks ago I was downtown. I just wandered into the bookstore. I was just browsing, and I picked up this book.
JOAN: Oh! Word is out.
MEDIUM ALISON: I was like, "Oh interviews, this looks interesting" then I was like, "These people are all..uh..."
JOAN: Gay?
MEDIUM ALISON: Yes, gay. And then I was like "Oh my God.
I'm a lesbian." (JOAN: A dyke.) —Yes, a dyke. Yes.
And I totally flipped out and shoved the book back on the shelf and then I left... But then I came the next day and bought the book, and then I came back the next day and bought all the other books in that section, and then I made myself go to the meeting at the Gay Union, and then, uh well...and then... it's now...
Hi.
JOAN: Hello.
That's a powerful book.
MEDIUM ALISON: It is.
JOAN: So, I should probably go.
MEDIUM ALISON: Okay.
JOAN: Will I see you at the union meeting tomorrow afternoon?
MEDIUM ALISON: Uh, yeah. I'll be at the meeting. I'll bring those posters. Finish 'em up.
JOAN: Cool. See you then. Bye, Alison.
MEDIUM ALISON: Bye, Joan.
