This Had Better Come to a Stop

[WHIZZER, spoken]
Oh!

[Whizzer turns off the alarm.]

"That was interesting." Mendel commented. Trina nodded.

[WHIZZER]
Late for dinner, late again

"Oh yes!" Jade cheered. "A bop!"

[WHIZZER & TRINA]
Late for dinner, late again

[WHIZZER, MARVIN, JASON, & TRINA]
Late for dinner, late again
Late for dinner, late, late, late, late
Late for dinner, late again
Late for dinner, late again
Late for dinner, late again
Late for dinner, late, late, late, late

Marvin grabs Whizzer's arm and pulls him to the 'sofa'.

Cordelia frowns.

[MARVIN]
Whizzer's supposed to always be here
Making dinner, set to screw
That's what pretty boys should do

Marvin sighed as he realised how much of a dick he had been to the rest of the TKF in the past; his ex-wife: the one who worked hard to make him happy even if she wasn't really happy herself, his psychiatrist: the one who tried to help him get better - even though Mendel is terrible at his job he still tried to help, his lover: the one he tried to push into a housewife role because of his internalised homophobia and the one who he constantly belittled saying he wasn't being good enough, and lastly, his son: the one who he left and the one who he loved even though he sure didn't show it.

Check their hairlines, make the dinner
And love me

This is going nowhere and fast, Whizzer
This little thing that we have will not last
Don't feel responsible
After all, it's through

[WHIZZER]
I'm not responsible

"I'm not responsible..." Whizzer whispered the same time his on-screen self did, remembering everything Marvin said to him. Said man's heart broke as he heard the soft whisper.

[MARVIN]
Life can be wonderful
Isn't this wonderful?

"Y'know, I tried to reply and say that it was." Whizzer told his boyfriend.

And this had better come to a stop, Whizzer
Now, Whizzer
Ciao, Whizzer
Bend
This had better come to an end

Tears lined Whizzer's eyes as he remembered how scared he was that day. Marvin noticed and grabbed his hand, rubbing his thumb across it softly. "What's wrong Whiz?"

Whizzer rubbed his eyes, "I'm fine. Just remembered how scared I was that day, even if I didn't show it."

Marvin's eyebrow's raised. "You were scared?..." he asked.

"Yeah...I thought you were gonna kick me out. I mean, no matter how bad our fights got, I was never scared or..." Whizzer sighed. "That one was the most heated and it lasted for hours." Marvin pulled him close.

"I'm sorry..." He apologised in a whisper.

His boyfriend smiled slightly, "It's okay..."

[TRINA]
I was supposed to make the dinner
Make it pretty on his plate
Every wife should pull her weight
Have it ready, make it tasty
And love him

This had better come to a stop, doctor
This has been a tragic and horrible flop

Trina sighed, also remembering how Marvin got when he was angry.

[MENDEL]
Don't feel responsible
After all, it's through

[TRINA]
Who is responsible?

"Me..." Marvin sighed.

[MENDEL]
Don't ask me questions!
I'm frightened of questions

"Mood."

But grateful that it's come to a stop, Trina
Smile, Trina
I'll help you mend

[WHIZZER & TRINA]
I met this man today
He wasn't very smart
But he was rich, Marvin
Which, Marvin
Do you prefer I lust for—
Brains or money?

[MARVIN (WHIZZER & TRINA)]
Brains
I'm not so (brains or money?)rich
But, hell, I'm smart

Whizzer raises an eyebrow, "No you're not?"

"No I'm not." Marvin chuckled, shaking his head.

Love me

[WHIZZER AND TRINA, spoken]
NO

"Rip." Jade laughed.

[MARVIN]
Love me, please
Or break my heart

"I do love you." Whizzer smiled. Marvin smiled back, kissing his lovers nose causing Whizzer to laugh.

[WHIZZER & TRINA]
This is all very neat
This is all very smart

[MARVIN]
This is all very neat
This is all very neat
This is all very smart

[MARVIN]
This had better come to a stop, Mendel
Don't touch me

"Haha, mood." Jade stated.

Don't condescend
This had better come—
This had better come to a—
This, this, this, this
This had better come to an end
This had better come to an end

[TRINA]
Chop chop chop chop chop
I chopped it
I served his food
The jackass forced me

[WHIZZER, MENDEL, AND JASON]
Chop Chop Chop Chop
Chop Chop Chop Chop Chop

[TRINA]
And still the bastard divorced me

Marvin and Trina made eye contact, then looked away sadly.

[TRINA]
It isn't like he says
You probably hurt his pride
He's got to have it all
He's like a baby who's denied
[MARVIN]
Late for dinner, late again
Late for dinner, late again
Late for dinner, late again
Late for dinner, late again
Late for dinner, late-
[OTHERS]
Chop chop chop chop
Chop chop chop chop
Chop chop chop chop
Chop chop chop chop
Chop chop chop chop
Chop chop chop chop
Chop chop chop chop

[WHIZZER, MENDEL, AND JASON]
This had better come to a stop, Marvin

[WHIZZER, TRINA, MENDEL, AND JASON]
This has been a lousy but fabulous flop

[WHIZZER]
Why is it always ourselves who have to change?

[MARVIN, spoken]
This is incredibly boring!

[WHIZZER, TRINA, MENDEL, AND JASON]
You've got a temper that redefines temper
And this had better come to a stop, Marvin
Why, Marvin
Try, Marvin
Bend

This had better come—
This had better come to a—
This this this this
This had better come to an end

[MARVIN]
This had better come to an end

[ALL]
This had better come to an end

For the first time, no one spoke while waiting for the next song.
