Days Like This

[WHIZZER, spoken]
Good morning.​

[MARVIN]
Whizzer, kid, you're looking very good today
You had to see yourself a few days back
I had a heart attack!
Jesus
But today you seem to be
On the way to recovery!
Oh, Whizzer, I want to applaud!
It's days like this I almost believe in God
Days like this I almost believe
In God

[Cordelia enters the hopital room with food.]

[CORDELIA, spoken]
Hello!

[WHIZZER, spoken]
Hi! Food...

[CORDELIA]
Rugelach!
Gefilte fish!
It's so good, you'd think it's Italian!
Also a soup made from chicken
That, though un-exotic, is antibiotic!
Oh, I'm up to my ass
In a kosher morass!
For aches and croup
Try my chicken soup!

[MARVIN, CORDELIA]
Whizzer (So, let's begin)
Kid, you're looking (It's medicine!)
Very good today (It could be we're both)
You had to see yourself (Going to cure you)
A few days back (Me with my soup)
I had a heart attack! (She with her medication)
Jesus! (Such elation!)

[MARVIN & CORDELIA]
But today you seem to be
On the way to recovery!
Oh, Whizzer, I want to applaud!
It's days like this we almost believe in God
Days like this we almost believe
In

[CORDELIA]
Gefilte fish!

[MARVIN]
God!

[CORDELIA]
Canadelach!

[Trina and Mendel enter.]

[TRINA, spoken]
Hi!

[WHIZZER, spoken]
Hi.​

[TRINA]
We had trouble parking
Just like on our second date

[MENDEL]
I hyperventilate
But since I'm parking in the city, I've improved
Or else the hydrants moved!

[Cordelia laughs.]

[CORDELIA, spoken]
Nobody? Okay...

[TRINA, spoken]
No, no, no, no, no

[MENDEL, spoken]
Yeah? Okay, alright.​ Mm-hm

(sung)
Go ahead, be good and pissed
"How can I help?'' says the wiry psychiatrist!

[TRINA]
He'll make you well!

[WHIZZER, spoken]
Right.​

[MENDEL]
I'll make you well!

[Charlotte and Jason enter.]

[CHARLOTTE & JASON]
Whizzer, hello!

[JASON]
Gee, you look awful
I think you need to play some chess

[WHIZZER]
Jason, sit down and begin

[JASON]
I'll let you win, Whizzer

[WHIZZER]
Don't let me win

[JASON]
I'll let you win

Gefilt-ah fish?

[MARVIN]
Right!

[TRINA]
He's looking very good today!
