Party of Five s01e15 Episode Script

NARRATOR ON TV: Next time you're out on foot, remember, the man behind the wheel does not expect the unexpected.
(TIRES SQUEALING) (CAR CRASHING) A surprise like this could be fatal.
All right, then.
Now Driving partners.
Andy Pace will drive with Martha Pierce.
Michael Rawson drives with Ruthie Rice.
Julia Salinger drives with Justin Thompson.
Uh, excuse me.
Can we, uh, switch partners? Why? So you could drive with one of your friends? Uh, yeah.
Young man, an automobile is two tons of lethal power.
If you think driving time can double as social hour with your buddies, then you can walk on out of here right now.
Just walk on on out.
All right.
(BELL RINGS) We'll be meeting in the parking lot next class, folks.
So I guess we're stuck with each other, huh? Come on, Justin.
I made a mistake, a big mistake, but I said I was sorry.
You're not really gonna spend the rest of high school punishing me for that, are you? Well, Julia, I just might.
Okay, so, chapter 11, boom, out of the way.
Moving on.
Here's the chapter 12 sample test.
You give me chapter 13.
Yeah, uh, you know what, Will? Oh, man, don't say it.
-No, I have a reason.
-Yeah.
Well, let me guess.
answers to the name of Jill? We just We kind of got busy.
Let me explain this study-partner thing to you, because you seem a little unclear, all right? A study partner is someone who does half the work and then shares his acquired knowledge with you.
I'll do it tomorrow.
When? We're going to the Fillmore tomorrow, remember? I have study hall.
Is Jill in the study hall? What are you, my mother? I'll get to it.
Well, you better, because the test is Thursday, you know? I know.
I'll do it.
Can you believe that? I know, I know.
It's one step away from the Spanish inquisition.
I know.
But you absolutely sailed through today.
-(KIRSTEN GIGGLES) -I mean, seriously.
The way you stared down Demott when he asked you about publication possibilities? I wasn't staring him down.
I was panicking.
I don't know the first thing about publication for this thing.
-Charlie.
Hi! -Hey.
Charlie, this is Ben Atkins, my advisor for my dissertation.
The topic of which was just formally approved this afternoon by the UC.
Psych department.
Really? -Kirsten, that's great.
-Yeah.
They all loved her.
Right.
Except Demott.
Demott? He's the one you told me about who thought your work should be more scientific and less Anecdotal? No, that's Upton.
Yeah, Upton loved the proposal, didn't he? -Mmm-hmm.
-That's weird.
Yeah, he's usually so, um -So what? -Exactly! Anyway, we thought we'd celebrate the good news before I hit the ground running tomorrow.
Which you will be, I might add.
The benefit of being her advisor.
I can say things like that.
Oh, yeah? You gonna push me around? I'm gonna be cracking that whip night and day.
You are mine now.
I own you, baby.
(LAUGHING) (CHUCKLES) Champagne? Yes.
(MUSIC PLAYING) Everybody wants to live Like they wanna live And everybody wants to love Like they wanna love Everybody wants to be Closer to free Closer to free (BELL RINGING) Claudia, I hate being late for lunch.
All the crusty top on the mac and cheese is gonna be gone when we get there.
Relax.
This will take five minutes.
Okay, kids.
This whole thing is my fault.
In the future, I'll be sure to cast understudies for all the major parts in these productions, but I learned my lesson the hard way this time.
So today I'm looking for someone who can jump right into the role of Oliver and be prepared to perform it this weekend.
Let's start by warming up our voices.
(CHORD PLAYS ON PIANO) (SINGING ARPEGGIOS) So, uh, what happened to the guy they picked to play Oliver in the first place? Bennie Craven.
He got sick or something.
I don't know.
All I know is he's out, and I'm in.
What makes you so sure you're gonna get it? Okay, one, I'm the best singer.
I always do the solos at Christmas.
Two, I already know the part because mom had the video on tape, and we used to watch it all the time.
Three, Mrs.
Cooper-stabler told me herself.
It was time for me to get out of the orchestra pit and start performing.
You'd rather be in the cast than play in the orchestra? How come? Because musicians, they grow up to be band geeks, and actors grow up to be stars.
(SINGING ARPEGGIOS) You heading out already? Yeah.
I've gotta go to all these daycare centers.
I need an ethnically diverse group by next month, so we've got to visit these places ASAP.
We? Ben and me.
He's around for this stuff too? Yeah.
He said he wanted to be.
Awful hands-on, isn't he? It seemed a little funny about the champagne, all that stuff about owning you.
You're cute.
Have a good day.
He called you "baby.
" (TIRES SQUEALING) DRIVING INSTRUCTOR: Up on the clutch, down on the gas simultaneously.
Simul Simul Dammit, girl.
Don't you know the meaning of the word? Clutch in.
In.
In.
In! Listen, girlie Please don't call me "girlie," sir.
It's sexist.
She's right.
"Girlie" implies there's something gender-specific about her terrible driving.
Right, and we all know there are just as many bad male drivers on the road as there are bad female drivers.
Well, no offense, sweetheart, but in my experience, the gentler sex just doesn't have what it takes to control a car.
You took that civics class, Justin.
Just out of curiosity, what Mr.
Parker just said, is that actionable? What do you mean, "actionable?" I mean, I'd have to check my notes, but it sounds pretty discriminatory to me.
Hey, no one's discriminating anyone here.
I'm just trying to teach the little lady to drive.
"Little lady"? I mean, that's totally out of line.
Wait, wait.
Whoa.
What are you writing down there? You know what would be fun? Just as an experiment, we could file a formal complaint, you know, maybe for extra credit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hey.
No one's filing anything here.
I'm I'm I'm I'm just We're We're try Um I All right.
I apologize for anything I said that may have offended.
Why don't we just put it behind us and get back to the matter at hand.
Whenever you're ready.
(GEARS GRINDING) It'd probably be good to practice.
It'll keep my mind off Oliver.
Mrs.
Cooper-stabler still hasn't called.
How about the bach? Yeah, but, uh, before that What? Well, remember today at the tryouts when I left to go to the, uh -Bathroom.
-Yeah.
Well, I went back in, and the lady, the one at the piano.
Mrs.
Cooper-stabler? She's a director.
Pfft.
"Lady.
" Well, she thought I was there to try out, and I made a big deal of saying how I was just looking for you, but She kind of wouldn't take no for an answer.
And? And I kind of sang, and she kind of thought I wasn't too bad, and she kind of asked me if I wouldn't mind Being Oliver.
You? But what about me? Well You get to be my understudy.
Hey, Justin.
Back there you helped me out, and I just thought maybe you weren't mad at me anymore.
I mean, you're not, right? You girls, man.
Why do you always have to talk about everything? No, I'm just I'm just glad we're in the same car.
See? There you go again.
Yap, yap, yap, yap, yap.
BAILEY: Give me the key back.
No.
I'm keeping it.
It's mine now.
-Hey, Will.
-Oh, hey.
Bailey just let me drive his jeep down the crookedest street in the world.
Hey, man, it's like 8:30.
We said 8:00.
We almost tipped.
I swear.
I was in complete control.
You were not in complete control.
-Excuse me.
-We'd better split.
We're gonna be late.
Oh, um, listen, man, Jill saw these guys last time they were in town, and Ugh.
One of the few bands who's actually worse live.
So, what, you don't want to go? Well, not if it's gonna be bad.
Well, you don't know that for sure.
Besides, it's not like we have anything else to do.
-Uh, actually -There's this party.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
We said we were going to do this.
I know.
I know, but, listen Okay, listen, it's at this psychic's house, all right, and there's gonna be all these tea leaf readers, and, like, tarot card people.
They all tell your future.
So you're flaking out.
Is that what you're saying? No, I just think we'd all have a better time It's gonna be great.
Trust me.
Well, you want to tell me what I'm supposed to do with these tickets? Because they weren't cheap.
Hey.
Want to buy two tickets to the random notes at the Fillmore tonight? Joe will let us use his new cabin for free.
It'll be great.
It has its own steam bath for after skiing.
I don't know how to ski.
You don't have to know how to ski to use a steam bath.
You just have to know how to get naked.
What's that? Just some stuff I have to tell Ben.
-Can't it wait till -Let me finish this thought.
Charlie What? Let me concentrate.
Fine.
Look, Charlie, we don't have to have sex every night, you know.
God forbid.
I just have some other things on my mind right now.
Yeah.
So I see.
Keys, keys, keys.
Yeah, I'm making pancakes.
Not for me.
I'm late.
Hey, make sure you're home by 8:00 tonight.
I told Mark and them we'd meet them at the firehouse.
Charlie, you know I'm busy.
Thurber, down.
Yeah, but not all night.
Don't nursery schools close by 6:00? Yeah, but then Ben and I have to talk about what we've seen, which kids will work, all that.
Thurber! Got pancakes here, Julia.
No, thanks.
Dieting.
(CAR HORN HONKS) That's ben.
I've got to go.
Thurber, no.
I hate when people honk.
How much can it take to get out of your car and ring the bell? So you ready for pancakes, Charlie? I don't eat breakfast.
What does Artie know about being an orphan? Nothing.
He's never been one, even for a little while.
I've been one for almost a year now.
I mean, it's not like there're that many upsides to orphanhood.
At least you figure getting the part of Oliver would be one.
Have a pancake, Claudia.
It'll make you feel better.
I'm not hungry.
Thurber! BAILEY: We didn't mean to leave the party without you.
We couldn't find you.
I was right there, with that lady in the turban.
She was yelling at me about my blocked chakra.
Look, I'm really sorry.
We thought we looked everywhere.
Here, look, let me pay you for the cab.
Forget it, all right? Just give me that practice test.
That is, if party girl will actually let you study.
Look, she thought you'd have fun.
Someone told her there'd be some cool girls there.
I wasn't aware that I'd signed up for Jill's dating service.
Give her a break.
She likes you.
She was trying to be nice.
Well, give her a tip, all right? Changing my plans and scalping my tickets is the wrong approach.
Did I say I was sorry? Because I thought I said I was sorry.
All right.
All right.
Just don't do it again.
Julia, Claudia, we're leaving.
Hey, guys, I made pancakes.
We're late.
Thanks, anyway.
(THURBER GROWLS) Libby? The handle broke on me.
You are completely unsafe around anything mechanical.
-I am not.
-Come on.
What about the helium machine at my 10th birthday party? Or your dad's telescope? Okay, so I have a little trouble with moving parts.
Well, it's nice to know some things never change.
So how you been? We never seem to Talk anymore.
Yeah.
Well, I guess that's what happens, you know.
-I mean, you make new friends.
-Right.
I've been hanging out with these guys from the film society a lot.
Oh, yeah.
Cool.
I've even kind of started going out with one of them.
Libby, that's great.
Who is it? Well, I don't want to say because if it doesn't work out, I'll feel stupid for blabbing about him.
Okay.
So how about you? Do you have a boyfriend? No.
I mean, there's someone, but it's not like that.
We used to be friends and I kind of blew it, so now So now he's probably madly in love with you and waiting for you to make a move.
I seriously doubt it.
You should do what I did.
I thought this guy maybe liked me, so I arranged it so that I was around him a lot, and the next thing I knew Really? Please, sir, can I have a second helping? You're kidding, right? What? Is that not the line? No, it's not the line.
So tell me what it is.
"More.
" "Please, sir, I want some more.
" It's only the most famous line in the play.
You know, you don't have to be all snotty just because I got the part you wanted.
Oh, please.
We all know why you got Oliver instead of me.
What's that supposed to mean? I think we both know that if I was a boy, I'd be Oliver and you'd be the understudy.
What? I'm the victim of sexuality! Or No, no.
No, no.
That's something else.
I'm a victim Of something.
Yeah, your own swelled head.
Face it.
If girls were treated the same way as boys, I'd be the star of the show, and you'd better believe I wouldn't mess up the most famous line too.
Hey, I know the line, okay? Okay, then.
Fine.
Guess you don't need my help anymore.
Okay.
What is a catalyst? Uh, catalyst.
Wait a second.
I know this one.
A catalyst is Uh, I give up.
Hey! A catalyst is a substance that initiates the chemical reaction and allows it to proceed under different conditions than otherwise possible.
Right.
The Blue Angels are flying formation over the presidio.
We can go to the roof of our house, and they fly right over our heads.
We have to study.
Mmm, I'm not so sure about that.
What's that? "Mr.
Gordon.
"Thursday, January 12th.
"Not for distribution.
" Wait a second.
Is that a copy of our test? Where did you Just happened to be passing by Gordon's office when he went to take a whiz.
Couldn't help noticing the xerox in the trash.
You stole the test? No one saw.
Well, you're all worried about doing well on it, and now you can.
And have fun this afternoon.
What? Something wrong? Hey, news flash, Jill.
They kick you out for stuff like that.
Well, not if you don't get caught.
God, that is so not the point.
Well, what is your point? What is his point? His point is That you just really didn't need to do this, Jill.
Fine.
Forget it.
You both can fail together, and I'll watch the Blue Angels alone.
Come on, Jill Nice girl.
Looks like rain, huh? How was the firehouse? I didn't go.
How come? Not in the mood.
What is that? I found it in your pocket.
You're going through my pockets? I was doing the laundry, okay? You said you spent the entire day working with Ben, and then I find out that you actually went to the movies with him.
We had a three-hour break between appointments.
We were fried.
We went to a movie.
Did he pay? What? What is the big deal here? You don't go to movies with people you have a professional relationship with, so, what is he to you? A friend? A professor? What? Because I have a right to know.
Because when we're in bed, and I'm thinking about you Wait.
Is all this because we didn't have sex last night? It's because you lied to me.
You know what, Charlie? You have no right to suspect me.
I didn't do anything wrong.
And coming from someone with your track record, this is almost funny.
Mint tea, please.
(LOW MURMURING) Always seem to let me in I've never seen you raise your fist I've never heard you say the end What's your secret? Where's your strength? How do you walk the perfect line? It's long but i suppose the length Comes down to what's inside Do tell me, do I Have what it takes to be with you? To go, please.
You got it.
You know me, I'm fragile I don't want to play the fool But I am wanting to know Claudia.
Claudia! What do you want? You won't come to the phone.
Look, Claudia, listen I don't think we should fight about this stupid play.
Stupid play? No wonder you can't remember the lines.
You have no respect for it.
Yeah, I do, but this drama stuff's just supposed to be fun.
So I got the lead this time.
So what? Next time you will.
I don't want it next time.
Oliver was my part.
I deserved it, and you took it from me.
I didn't mean to.
Look, it's really wet out here.
Yeah, because it's raining.
Can't I come inside? I'm cold.
Oh, yeah? Well, so was Oliver.
Maybe you can use that in your performance.
I'm going to bed.
Hi.
Where's Mr.
Eagle Scout? Look, Will is a good guy.
He is.
He's He's just not into breaking the rules, so Yeah, right.
That's why he steals desserts from the cafeteria and he was perfectly happy to take twice the face value off those tickets last night.
I'm not saying he's a saint, but those things, those are little.
This test thing, Jill So, what? Breaking the little rules is cool, but when you get to the midsize rules, suddenly it's not okay anymore? Well So where is that line, huh? Tell me, what is the worst thing you could do and still look at me and say, "At least I'm not that bad?" That's not what I'm saying.
It's what you meant.
The way you looked at me in the library was like I embarrassed you or something.
No, that's not You don't embarrass me.
Save it, okay? Just don't act like you don't bend the rules, because you do it all the time, and so does Will.
You're both real jerks to act like you're better than me just because I tried to help you.
(JULIA COUGHING) Well, look on the bright side.
At least San Francisco has a good public transportation system.
It's G.
I.
Joe over there.
He makes me so nervous, yelling like that.
I just fritz out when people yell at me.
I always have.
I know.
My mom still talks about chewing you out for spilling that sno-cone on my rug.
"The tears!" I know, I know.
I'm too sensitive.
I should stop being so sensitive.
No, no, no.
Not at all.
So, um, what would you say if I asked you a favor? Depends on what the favor is.
Um, Private driving lessons.
No yelling.
Yeah.
I guess I could do that.
Really? Yeah.
Why not? We can use my mom's car.
She's cool as long as we stay on the block.
Um This afternoon, maybe, unless you're busy.
No.
I'm, uh I'm not doing anything, really.
And you won't yell? No.
I'm a very calm person.
I know.
I like that about you.
I'm sorry about last night.
You were wrong.
I know.
I know.
It's just this new arrangement thing.
I mean Here we are, living together, and what does that mean? I guess I'm just a little confused about that.
Well, what do we need to do? Should I tell you my schedule every day? No.
I just I'd rather not find out after the fact that you did something social with this guy.
It was spur of the moment.
So tell me when you come home.
Say, "Guess what? "We went to see a movie.
It was great.
You'd like it.
"I'll see it with you again, if you want.
" It was terrible.
You'd hate it.
But I'll see it again with you if you want me to.
-Hey, guys.
-Hey.
Hi.
Oh, Kirsten, Ben Atkins called.
Said dinner tonight was dressy, so get prettied up.
Those were his words, not mine.
You're going out to dinner with him? It's just a faculty dinner.
You know what, Owen, how'd you like to do this in the living room? So why didn't he invite the both of us? I mean, we are a couple.
It's not a couple thing.
It's work.
But you'll be there with this Ben guy, so you two will be a couple.
It's completely innocent.
A guy asks you out to a dinner party, it's not innocent.
I don't want you to go.
I'm sorry.
When exactly did it become your right to say what I could and couldn't do? We're living together.
I'm allowed to say you can't date other guys.
It's not a date.
Look, Ben wants to take me to a dinner where I can build relationships with the people that are going to be deciding my academic future.
It's a very generous gesture.
No, it's not.
Look, I know guys.
I am one.
We're not generous when it comes to women like you.
It's so obvious what he's doing.
Hanging around you, trying to get to know you, waiting for an opening.
It's textbook.
It's exactly what I'd be doing in his situation.
Oh, for God's sake, Charlie.
Oh.
Leave in the middle of a fight.
Great.
Look, I'm going to this dinner, and if you have a problem with it, then it's exactly that, your problem.
Top of the morning, sir.
Top of the morning, sir.
Top of the morning, sir.
Claudia, how confident do you feel about this part? Excuse me.
I have one line.
I think I can handle it.
Honey, I'm talking about the role of Oliver.
Why? We're going to need you up on stage when we open tomorrow.
Wait a minute.
What happened to Artie? His mom said he was sick.
With what? Well, I'm not sure, but evidently, he's lost his voice.
Oh, my gosh.
I told him to take care of himself.
JUSTIN: Ease in.
Take your foot off the clutch.
Take your foot off the clutch.
Okay, you're in first.
Good.
JULIA: I'm in second.
(LAUGHING) Are you in second? I am driving in second.
You've got to stay on this side of the street.
Be careful! Stop! Stop! Damn.
I messed up the steering.
No, no, no, no.
It's all right.
It's all right.
You have to learn one thing at a time.
That was That was good.
You sure? Yeah.
Absolutely.
It wasn't too fast.
It wasn't too slow.
It was, uh Very controlled, sort of.
You didn't kill me.
I'm very proud of you.
Sometimes I can be pretty stupid.
What do you mean? Well, I was just thinking.
Were you Were you always this great? Don't.
Don't what? Oh, you know.
You know exactly what you're doing.
What am I doing? So what, now that I have a girlfriend, all of the sudden you're interested in me? No.
I just I thought about it before I knew.
Oh, yeah? Well, you had your chance, you know, -and you blew it big time.
-I know.
Okay.
I mean, after what you did to me Justin, I know, okay? God! I just thought Well, it's not like I had to force you into this car.
I mean, you knew what I was asking.
What? You asked me for driving lessons.
You didn't ask me out or anything.
Oh, like you didn't know? I didn't.
Right.
All right, well, I am going out with Libby right now, okay? So if these lessons aren't really lessons They're lessons.
Oh, okay.
Well, let's just forget them all the same.
No brothers.
Hmm? To teach me how to tie these things.
(CHUCKLES) Could you? Uh, sure.
I'm Eliza.
Charlie.
-Your first night? -Yep.
Of waitressing at all.
I never thought I'd resort to pushing slop for a living.
I mean I'm sorry.
No sweat.
This isn't exactly the fulfillment of a lifelong dream for me either.
I do that all the time.
I always offend people I really want to impress.
You haven't offended me.
The night's young.
(CLEARS THROAT) At least it is for me.
I'm here till closing.
-Yeah? -Mmm-hmm.
Me too.
A workday that ends at midnight, and then I get to take the bus home.
You didn't drive? No.
Actually, I hoofed it.
Well, I've got a truck here.
I mean, if you need a lift home Yeah.
Sure.
I could use a lift.
Great.
Great.
You forgot this.
Thanks.
So how do you think you did? Okay.
Not as well as you though, huh? You were done before I even got to the multiple choice.
You used that test, didn't you? No.
Maybe for a couple of questions.
God.
What are you thinking? What, like you've never bent the rules, Wll? You've stolen food from the cafeteria.
What? What does that have to do with anything? You're the one going nuts over some girl just because she puts out.
-Don't put it on me.
-Totally out of line.
Fine.
Fine.
Maybe a bad choice of words.
It's not the words that I object to, okay? I really don't care what you think of her, but That's lucky, because I have nothing good to say about her.
-You don't even know her.
-The more you hang out with her, the more you get to be like her.
You're just jealous because I have someone and you don't.
Oh, look, someone like that I don't need.
Who the hell do you think you are, Will? You have no right to talk about her like that.
So Jill isn't like most girls.
So what? At least she's interesting.
She's fun.
Not like Isabelle.
She was a total bitch, but did I go around trashing her? No, because you and I are friends, Will, and that is not what friends do.
Isabelle wasn't a juvenile delinquent, okay? Hey, watch it.
I can't believe you can't see this girl for what she is.
She's not "interesting," okay? She is a disaster waiting to happen.
Go to hell.
You look great.
Then again, when do you not? Okay, here's the plan.
When you get bored, do one of these, okay? That'll be our "let's get the hell out of here" signal.
I'm not gonna get bored.
I'm looking forward to this.
Really.
Trust me.
I've been to a dozen of these things.
Fifteen minutes in, you'll be fiddling with your ears like crazy.
We'll cut out.
We'll do something else.
What do you mean? You like jazz? I know this great jazz place in North Beach.
Ben, I live with someone.
You know that.
You met him.
I live with him because I love him.
ELIZA: It's It's this one right here.
See? I told you it was a crummy building.
It's not crummy.
All it needs is a little love and care.
Well, don't we all? It's much nicer inside.
Do you want to see? Unless there's someone waiting at home for you.
(DOOR OPENS) I called the restaurant.
I had something to talk to you about.
Uh-huh.
They said you left with a waitress.
Yeah, I did.
You want to tell me why? She needed a lift home.
Who better, huh? What are you doing, Charlie? Are you punishing me? I wanted to, yeah.
I got her all the way home, and I came this close.
You know, it would've been so easy.
Just switch on over to autopilot.
I really wanted to get you off my mind, because I'm clearly not on yours.
Charlie But I couldn't, okay? I didn't.
I didn't do anything.
-Charlie -Could we just not? (SINGING ARPEGGIOS) -Claudia! -What are you doing? Nothing.
Just leave me alone.
(SINGING) -Claud, get inside here, now.
-What's she doing? Honey, you'll catch pneumonia.
That's perfect.
(SINGING) No, don't make me go back inside.
Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please.
Just let me stay out here the rest of the night.
Claudia, calmly for a sec, tell us what's wrong.
I did a really bad thing.
I made Artie sick, and now he can't do the part of Oliver.
I stole it from him.
It didn't belong to me, so I need to suffer for it.
Like the Bible says, an eye for an eye.
Claud, you're being ridiculous.
That's easy for you to say.
I mean, you've never been consumed by jealousy before.
I don't deserve to perform.

I'm such a bad person.
Yeah, well, I'm not so perfect either, you know.
I kind of lied to you.
At the tryouts, Mrs.
Cooper-Stabler didn't really beg.

So you stole my part.
Big whoop.
I almost killed you.

It's just a virus.
It's the same thing the other Oliver had, and he's almost all better.

Hi.
You got a couple calls.
Did I? Your mom, and Jerry Katz.
Kass.
My new advisor.
The evening last night, Ben did want it to be a date.
As soon as I realized what he was thinking, I made him take me home.
So I thought you should know.
Know what? That you put me through all this for nothing? That I was right all along? You may have been right about him, but you were wrong about me, and I'm the one you have to trust.
Look, we finally have something really good here and we have to figure out a way to hang on to it.
This isn't the last time that a guy's gonna be interested, and you can't go driving waitresses home every time this happens.
You've got to find a way to trust me.
(PIANO PLAYING) Where is love? Does it fall from skies above? Is it underneath the willow tree That I've been dreaming of? Where is she Who I close my eyes to see? Will I ever know the sweet hello That's meant for only me? Who can say where she may hide? Must I travel far and wide? Till I am beside the someone who I can mean something to Where Where is love? Where Where is love?
