SIDE 1
TOM
You want the TV? Take the TV. The TV's yours. Just leave me alone.
GEORGE
Relax, Tom. We're just different parts of you. We are all the ideas in your head.
DINA
And not just us, Tom. Do you realize how many ideas you have in your head? Just look around you.
ALL (EXCEPT TOM)
(to audience, ad-lib greetings)
Hi. Hello. (etc.)
(TOM looks around and sees the audience for the first time.)
TOM
I don't understand this!
SHULIE
Don't you see, Tom? We're every person you've ever met.
(SHULIE removes Tom's robe, revealing Tom's work clothes.)
JOE
We're every place you've ever been.
DORI
We're every thing you've ever known!
SHULIE
Feel better?
TOM
No.
JOE
You look great!

SIDE 2
JOE
Criminy, George, that one just plum wore me out.
TOM
That was a really fun song!
DORI
And?
TOM
And it was very informative.
DINA
But?
TOM
But it wore me out a bit.
SHULIE
Or?
TOM
Or, hey, what's up with all the conjunctions?
DORI, DINA, SHULIE
You tell us, Tom.

SIDE 3
JOE
In the mornings, when I'm usually wide awake, I love to take a walk through the gardens AND down by the lake, where I often see a duck AND a drake; AND I wonder as I walk by just what they'd say if they could speak. Although I know that's an absurd thought!
