[00:05.797] ALISON: I want to know what's true
[00:08.417] Dig deep into who
[00:10.760] And what and why and when
[00:14.330] Until now gives way to then...
[00:24.774] ROY, spoken: Woah. Nice room
[00:27.054] BRUCE, spoken: Here's the wallpaper. It's not William Morris but it's close. It's pretty close
[00:32.469] ROY, spoken: You read all these books?
[00:35.257] BRUCE, spoken: Oh, working on it
[00:37.545] ROY, spoken: That is not something I can imagine
[00:39.625] BRUCE, spoken: No, I remember from class; you're not much of a reader
[00:42.983] ROY, spoken: No. Read some good books in your class, though
[00:47.859] BRUCE, spoken: It's my job... to make it interesting
[00:55.312] ALISON, spoken: It's like a 1950s lesbian pulp novel
[00:59.498] "Their tawdry love could only flourish in the shadows."
[01:03.666] SMALL ALISON, spoken: I like Roy. He's funny
[01:06.029] HELEN, spoken: Alison, find something to do. I'm practicing
[01:10.399] SMALL ALISON, spoken: Did Chop-In write "Chopsticks"?
[01:13.554] HELEN, spoken: It's "Sho-Pahn." Alison, stop bothering me
[01:19.036] ROY, spoken: This place is like a museum. What's that stuff?
[01:23.961] BRUCE, spoken: Sherry. Want some?
[01:26.264] ROY, spoken: Is it any good?
[01:27.587] BRUCE, spoken: Yeah
[01:28.363] ROY, spoken: Sure
[01:31.402] I remember this house before you moved in. We used to ride our bikes here all the time when we were kids. You've done a shit-load of work
[01:40.688] BRUCE, spoken: I did. By myself, most of it
[01:43.560] ROY, spoken: You must be in good shape, old man
[01:47.745] BRUCE, spoken: Not too bad, if I say so myself
[01:52.564] (sung) I might still break a heart or two
[01:56.165] You'd be surprised just what a guy my age knows how to do
[02:01.407] (spoken) Want it?
[02:04.206] ROY, spoken: Yeah
[02:05.487] BRUCE, spoken: Unbutton your shirt
[02:09.892] ROY, spoken: Is that your wife playing the piano?
