JASON

My father says that love

Is the most beautiful thing in the world

I think games are

I think chess is the most

Beautiful thing

Not love

Marvin at the Psychiatrist, a three-part mini opera

Part One:

MENDEL

Do you love him?

MARVIN

Sorta kinda

MENDEL

Do you need him?

MARVIN

Sorta kinda

He makes me smile a lot

Especially at mealtime

It makes me feel I'm sort of smart

MENDEL

Hm

Is he special?

MARVIN

He's delightful

MENDEL

And romantic?

MARVIN

Yes, and spiteful

But yet it seems that so am I

MENDEL

Just enjoy what you can

Love the boy, not the man

MARVIN

Man

Sorta stylish

MENDEL

Kinda very

MARVIN

Mmm, very very sorta

MENDEL

And kind of hard to describe...?

MARVIN

Yes, yes, I think that's very true

MENDEL

When he's naked-

MARVIN

Yes?

MENDEL

Does he thrill you?

MARVIN

Yes!

MENDEL

Is he vicious?

MARVIN

Yes!

MENDEL

Would he kill you?

MARVIN

(thinks) Yes

I think he's sorta kinda mean

But I love him, and I need it

If he loved me, I'd concede it

MENDEL

Don't despise what you feel

Love the friend, not the heel
