They got themselves this lawyer, and he’s good and all but a real sonuvabitch. He lies and everything to get them off — its all kind of crazy. I didn’t feel like much of it was even worth it, the thing is they do it all for some lousy fame.

Falsettos

This is a real wild one. This guy ran off with another, leaving his wife and kid and all behind, but he still wants this tight-knight family. I mean this guy starts having a real helluva time trying to keep it all, it’s a knockout, really. And it’s kind of funny too, you can see how his therapist is trying, and goes for his wife, too.

The Music Man
