To find ourselves again

Two lovers playing scenes from some romantic play
September morning still can make me feel that way”

Toilets break - I had one just break in my apartment last week! Cost me $650 to put in a new toilet! You think I went around to try to find the last person who sat on it? [audience breaks into laughter] Don't be STUPID! GROW UP! That's all.”
