[nick]
okay, nick you’re now inside a
secret small apartment up in sugarhill

[catherine, spoken]
my sister myrtle said you were a ten. you’re a four

[nick]
when tom and myrtle got here
they went straight into the bedroom
and they’re in there still

[catherine, spoken]
these are the mckees. they like to watch!

[nick]
so i’m stuck makin’ small talk
while they —- a few feet away
smilin’ at strangers
who all look at me like i’m their prey
i close my eyes but all i see
is the glowing face of daisy fay

[mrs. mckee, spoken]
mr. mckee has taken two hundred and twenty seven photographs of me
[mr mckee, spoken]
two-twenty eight

[nick]
i never should have come here
as my palms begin to sweat
i need a dose of culture
and i need a cigarette
oh, they really
should’ve dropped me
at the met

[nick, spoken]
i’m not drinkin’

[tom, spoken]
i’m not drinkin’ alone

[mrs. mckee, spoken]
love the dress. love!

[myrtle, spoken]
this crazy old thing? i just slip it on when i don’t really care what i look like

[catherine, spoken]
the tag’s still on it
[nick]
i said just one drink but if i lowball it i’m guessin’
this is number three

[tom, spoken]
bedroom’s free if you wanna shake the sheets with catherine

[nick]
all that i can think of is that ill-considered favor
gatsby asked of me

[catherine, spoken]
in the bedroom lighting, i’m an eight

[nick]
when i got here
i should’ve said i wouldn’t be stayin’ long
everyone is flirtin’ now
and they’re all comin’ on too strong
at least the midwest blessed me
with a stellar sense of right and wrong

[mr mckee, spoken]
mrs. mckee and i have an open relationship. she has s-x with other people, and i’m open to it

[nick]
i need a cup of coffee
as the sun begins to set
they sang “ain’t we got fun?” so loud
it’s sounding like a threat
oh, they really
should’ve dropped me
at the met
[catherine, spoken]
jay gatsby? the millionaire on long island? he’s a five

[nick, spoken]
but would you go to tea with him?

[catherine, spoken]
no, but only because tea makes me vomit

[mr. mckee, spoken]
i’d love to do more work on long island, if i could gain entry

[nick]
people disappear and reappear
and then they lose each other in the fray

[tom, drunk]
do you like polo ponies?

[myrtle, spoken]
tom!

[nick]
they search for each other
and are reunited only a few feet away

[myrtle, spoken]
that’s my sister!

[tom, spoken]
oh, relax, myrtle

[nick]
there’s a flash and a crash
over the oversized furniture
i look around for catherine
and i find that i’m on top of her
and all of this is captured
by the greedy-eyed photographer

[mr. mckee, spoken]
i want to capture your musk

[nick]
who stalks me like a vulture
here’s a night i’ll soon regret
she’s got another bottle
so this isn’t over yet
oh, they really
should’ve dropped me
at the met

[myrtle, spoken]
don’t you treat me that way! don’t you flirt with my sister!

[tom, spoken]
cool it, myrtle!

[myrtle, spoken]
would you do that to daisy, huh?

[tom, spoken]
you don’t mention daisy!

[myrtle, spoken]
oh, why not. you take shots at george every chance you can get, but daisy is off limits?

[tom, spoken]
i’m warning you. myrtle!

[myrtle, spoken]
daisy, daisy, daisy. i’ll say it whenever i want. daisy!

[myrtle, spoken]
you broke my nose! you broke my nose!

[catherine, spoken]
you broke my sister’s nose!

[tom, spoken]
it was an accident

[catherine, spoken]
don’t touch her!

[myrtle, spoken]
don’t you touch me, i’ll call the cops!

[nick]
if i wondered whether tom’s an assh0l-
tom’s an assh0l-, he removed all doubt
and gatsby’s proposition is the only thing
my spinning mind can think about
i just sink in a sofa as the night grows more dim
god, what a coward
should have torn the b-st-rd limb from limb
but maybe there’s another way
that i can still get back at him

(spoken)
yes. please connect me with jay gatsby
