[RUTH - SPOKEN]
No, I haven't seen your grill brush, Maurey!
//SCOFFS//
Yeah! I used it to brush my hair this morning, can't you tell?
Oh, don't leave me out here with the meat, Maurey!
Medium wha-?! How can something be Medium and Well, Maurey?
Ugh, Maurey...

I turned 40 today
To Me:

[RUTH]
Saturday we installed a new bay window
And it was something right...
Out of a dream...
I never had

Saturday belongs to soccer practice
I pack their little cakes...
For after the games...
They never win

And life is full of all of the trappings of the well-to-do
And life goes on, as I shop for shutters...
To obstruct the view
And life is fine, if only it were mine

But just for once I'd be the center of attention
Just for once, remember what a life can be
Just for once I feel the light inside, the burning of a candle
Living just for once
Living just for-

39, I lose my hair under careful chemo treatment
And I was not unhappy...
About the attention...
I ensnared...
Judge me!

It fucking worked!
I'm fucking here!
He's fucking her!
I'm disappointed!
There's still carpet in the bathroom
And of the two, who's the worse for wear?

[RUTH - SPOKEN]
Me!

We love our dogs, especially Captain
He's a bullshit mix
//CHUCKLE//

The pool is out, the neighbors come rushing
Maury Prefers their kids
And the world's a stage when you're middle of age

But just for once my life could be just what I wanted
Just for once I'd feel the spark that I once knew
Just for once I’d feel the fight inside, the burning of a candle
Something more than I can handle
Just for once

Should flip the burgers now?
Should I double check?
It's well done on the outside not within
Ooh~

Should I let the coals burn out?
Should I let the years cook my body down in front of him?
Oh-oh
Just for once!
Just for once!
Just for once!

The other day the Johnsons borrowed my tap shoes
Their eldest daughter is beginning tap
It was no bother, I never ever use them
I used to dance...
I used to dance...

[RUTH - SPOKEN]
//SCOFFS//
I found your grill brush, Maurey! It was right here...all along...
