Lester stop playing
Lester stop playing

there is no use
no use at all

(Lester got up and placed the guitar back into its case)

Please, Julia, let me have some happiness.

Lester there is work to be done
Lester there is so much left to do

Julia, I say to you, let me alone before I cry

Lester come do this and do that
Lester come find something to do

There is always work.

Lester you have to know when to stop
Lester you have to know when to give up

Julia, I fear you will never let me be happy.

Lester you never were happy
Lester there is no happiness

Julia, music is pure joy.

Lester music makes no money
Lester we need money

No Julia, we need happiness and I shall die before I place money before it.

Lester you are a fool
Lester you are a loon

(Lester picked up his guitar and began to play)

Lester
Lester

(Lester played louder than ever before)

Listen, Julia.
Its happiness.
