Rhythm Redux

[THOMAS, spoken]
Okay. You know what?

[THOMAS]
Let's review

[PATTON]
Review?

[ROMAN]
Let's do

[THOMAS]
Thank you!

[PATTON]
I hope we rhyme like this the whole way through!

[ROMAN]
I hope so too!

[THOMAS]
Yoo-hoo! So, let's start with the fact
That the wedding was a total bust

[PATTON]
It was?

[THOMAS]
It was

[ROMAN]
It's just that going didn't pay off quite like we discussed

[PATTON]
Discussed? You mustn't think that
Going to a wedding to support your friends
Would have any sort of ehhhhh self-serving end?

[THOMAS]
I don't
But how about more than just, "Hello"?

[ROMAN]
Yeah, something's iffy

[THOMAS]
Glad you're with me that the state of things is icky

[ROMAN]
Is there something here we're missing?

[THOMAS]
Maybe...

[PATTON]
No! I mean...You know
That we have gone through all of this before

[THOMAS]
Before?

[PATTON]
We four had helped you make the proper choice of wedding over your--

[THOMAS]
Spare me the rest. Yes!
The callback for a film that could have been my break

[PATTON]
Yeah, you could say...

[ROMAN]
And no one wanted you to go more than that slimy snake...

[THOMAS]
Who pushed to do the egocentric thing: auditioning...

[ROMAN]
Yeah, that's Deceit!

[PATTON]
A part of you so hard to chew it left me lost at sea!

[ROMAN]
If our goals aligned with his, what would that say?

[THOMAS]
I felt forsaken. You were saying
That we both have lost our way

[PATTON]
But in your face I saw this pain...
And so--

[THOMAS]
I made this choice
And now I have a restless head;
In my bed I'll just feel this way

[PATTON]
What way?

[THOMAS]
The way a groom might feel
If he just watched as his bride ran away

[PATTON]
...But you're gay?

[THOMAS]
I'm saying if I made the right choice
Why don't I feel right?

[PATTON]
You may not tonight, but in time, you...might?

[THOMAS]
I don't know, I think this feeling's here to stay...

[ROMAN]
It is a pity to admit he could have done more than just sitting at that wedding feeling--

[THOMAS]
Quit reviewing!
