Act One
[Opening scene. Susanna sits on a stool, all alone, as a slow melody starts. "Have You Ever Stolen Something (When You Had The Cash)?"]
Susanna:
Have you ever confused a dream
With reality?
Or thought your train moving
While standing still?
Not understood in the sixties
Oh, woe is me!
Never been understood
And never will
(CHORUS)
Have you ever stolen something
When you had the cash?
Grabbed a bottle of aspirin
And made a mad dash?
Run into the liquor store
To chase it with a bottle of Jack?
Have you ever stolen something
When you had the cash?
[Curtains open. Music becomes more upbeat and fades into "Welcome To McLean"]
Valerie:
This'll be your brand new home,
So go on and unpack.
This'll be your new roomate;
Georgina?
Georgina:
Yeah?
Valerie:
Cut her some slack
We'll dole out the meds,
We'll give you a bath,
Make sure you're in bed,
Even help you with math,
So welcome, Susanna,
You'll be here for a while!
Welcome to McLean!
[pokes Susanna]
Now lemme see you SMILE!
[Curtain close. End act one]
