And chapter four is here! I'm not going to stop until I've had my fill of madness. . . which technically is never . . . but this story won't take that long! Song "You've got to Pick a Pocket or Two" is from Oliver! . I had to, again, tweak the names a little to make sense. "Oh, what a Beautiful Morning" is from Oklahoma.
Vogler and the rest of the board members sat down. He was still in a slight state of shock over what Chase had said, that he didn't hear Cuddy yelling at him right away. When he finally did though, he regretted it. He was so tired of her whining!
"Your using all the money! Where are you going to get the rest!" Cuddy questioned him. Vogler and the rest of the board members, despite their moaning, start to sing. Wilson looks to Cuddy and the two of them begin to back into the door to make an escape. . .
VOGLER: (spoken)
You see, Cuddy...
(sung) In this life, one thing counts
In the bank, large amounts
I'm afraid these don't grow on trees,
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two, Lisa,
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two.
BOARD MEMBERS:
Large amounts don't grow on trees.
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two.
VOGLER (spoken)
Let's show Cuddy how it's done, shall we, my dears?
(sung) Why should we break our backs
Stupidly paying tax?
Better get some untaxed income
Better to pick-a-pocket or two.
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two, Lisa
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two.
BOARD MEMBERS:
Why should we all break our backs?
Better pick-a-pocket or two.
VOGLER (spoken)
Who says crime doesn't pay?
(sung) Robin Hood, what a crook!
Gave away, what he took.
Charity's fine, subscribe to mine.
Get out and pick-a-pocket or two
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two, Cuddy
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two.
BOARD MEMBERS:
Robin Hood was far too good
He had to pick-a-pocket or two.
BOARD MEMBERS:
Take a tip from Bill Sikes
He can whip what he likes.
I recall, he started small
He had to pick-a-pocket or two.
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two, Cuddy
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two.
BOARD MEMBERS:
We can be like old Bill Sikes
If we pick-a-pocket or two.
VOGLER (spoken)
Stop thief!
Dear old gent passing by
Something nice takes his eye
Everything's clear, attack the rear
Get in and pick-a-pocket or two.
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two, Cuddy
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two.
BOARD MEMBERS:
Have no fear, attack the rear
Get in and pick-a-pocket or two.
VOGLER:
When I see someone rich,
Both my thumbs start to itch
Only to find some peace of mind
We have to pick-a-pocket or two.
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two, Cuddy
You've got to pick-a-pocket or two.
BOARD MEMBERS:
Just to find some peace of mind
VOGLER AND BOARD MEMBERS:
We have to pick-a-pocket or two!
Cuddy furrowed her eyebrows and began to say something, but closed her mouth again, unable to find the words to describe the terror of seeing Vogler sing to her about picking pockets. Vogler dismissed the meeting and walked outside. Wilson exited the board room, inspired to sing himself, his arms outstretched. . .
Oh, what a beautiful morning
Oh, what a beautiful day
I've got a beautiful feeling. . .
Everything's going my way!
There's a bright golden haze on the med . . .
But Vogler triped Wilson and didn't let him finish.
"Oh, man." Mumbled Wilson.
How was that? Poor Wilson. . . no one will let him sing! Chapter five is coming and Cuddy will sing, Wilson will try again and House will finally sing in the sixth chapter!
