Readings:
Boys: I read this article that when people are too leisurely, they go nuts on the spot, because if anything is good at all, it's gotta get terrible fast. It even says when you retire, you’re supposed to be enjoying yourself, that’s the kiss of death. Because you relax in the pool too much and you drown. You know, when you retire…
Girls: Yes. My name is Rosie. I am famous and wonderful and everyone loves me and wants to be me. Who can blame them? You think it’s weird someone as classy as me comes from here? You can say that again. But you have to make peace with your crummy past. My town. My street. My little humble street. Ah, yes, Avenue P – the crossroads of millions of stars. You mean you’ve never heard of Kathy, Alligator, Johnny, Pierre? Well sweetheart, after they appear in my movie life, - WATCH OUT! – they’ll be the best-known bit players around. Wait and see! My family? Have I forgiven them? I’ve tried my best. Dad’s an old sweety and my stupid brother, Chicken Soup, he couldn’t help being born a loser and a burden to everybody. However, I’ve never gotten over his loss – such a horrible tragedy. And Mom… Well, Mom just…DRIVES ME BANANAS.
