(addison mizner lies in a bed.)

[a woman, spoken]
mr. mizner. there’s a gentleman to see you

(addison leans forward expectantly, then falls back on the pillows, dead. the door of a packing crate falls open, revealing wilson mizner.)

[a man]
think that he’s dead?

[another man]
has been for years

[a woman]
god, what a waste

[a man]
g*nius, they said

[a woman]
opened frontiers

[another woman]
really, such a waste

[another woman]
all of that style-

[a man]
all that flair-

[another man]
all that guile-

[another man]
now, let’s be fair
he had a real spark

[another man]
made a mark

[a woman]
instantly erased

[a man]
could have been rich

[a woman]
could have lost weight

[a man]
god, what a waist

[addison, spoken]
excuse me…

[two men]
son of a b-tch
could have been great

[a woman and a man]
now he’s just disgraced

[addison, spoken]
excuse me?-

[a woman]
such an ascent-

[a man]
such a fall-

[another man]
such a nice gent-

[company]
he had it all
how could he miss
finish like this?
waste

[a man]
remember me?
i’m the one that you bought the plantation from
boy, what a waste
that was a waste…

[a woman] (overlapping)
remember me?
i’m the one with the house you design-
what a waste, what a terrible waste
what a waste…

[a man]
remember me?
i’m the one that you baited the suckers with
waste
waste of your money and waste of my time
remember that? remember that?
what a waste, what an asinine waste…

[two women]
remember me?
i’m the one that you used in the ads
honey, that was a waste
that was a waste and a half
remember that? remember that?
what a waste, what a silly old waste…

[a man]
remember me?
i’m the one with the fireworks business-
a waste if i ever saw waste
and, believe me, i recognize waste
when i come across waste…

[another man]
you come into my office
and buy all these pineapples
nothing but waste
i mean, talk about waste
that was a waste, no, a waste and a half…

[a woman]
not to mention
the door you forgot to include
and the stairs that went nowhere
there was a waste
there was a terrible waste…

[a man]
remember me?
i’m the one with the klondike saloon
what a waste, what a god-awful waste
i mean, that was a waste…

[a woman]
remember me?
i’m the one that you promised a mansion to…

[handsome young man]
remember me?
i’m the one that you f-cked

(addison blinks at him, stunned)

[all]
such a good start
such a bad end-
leaves a bad taste

[handsome young man]
i’m the one that you f-cked

(pause.)

[all]
squandered his art
cheated his friend-
all of it a waste

[addison, spoken]
you’re the one that i loved

[three men]
destined to fail

[two women]
poor old guy

[group 1]
losing the trail-

[group 2]
and you know why

[wilson]
everybody shoo!

i said shoo!
i mean you… shoo!

(opening his arms.)

(spoken)
hug for your old brother?

(sung)
wasting your time
listening to them
that was the waste

[addison, spoken]
h-llo, willie

[wilson]
what was your crime?
you were a gem
they were strictly paste

[addison, spoken]
willie, listen to me-

[wilson]
so it got rough
why the guilt?
look at the stuff
that you built
so you got burned
look what you’ve learned!

[addison, spoken]
you know what i learned, willie? i learned that the only thing wrong with my life was you. you conniving son of a b-tch!

(addison swats wilson.)

[wilson, spoken]
(swatting him back.)
hey, cut it out!

[addison, spoken]
(another swat)
you ruined me!

[wilson, spoken]
(another swat)
you ruined yourself!

[addison, spoken]
(another swat)
say it! you ruined me!

[wilson, spoken]
did not!

[addison, spoken]
did so!

[wilson, spoken]
did not!

[addison, spoken]
did so!

[wilson, spoken]
did not!

[addison, spoken]
did so!

[wilson, spoken]
did not!

[addison, spoken]
did so!

(they fight on the bed, the tussle becoming more and more childlike.)

[wilson & addison, spoken]
mama… mama… mama!

(mama mizner appears.)

[mama mizner, spoken]
addison! wilson!

(addison and wilson stop fighting.)

this is no time for squabbling! your papa’s been asking for you

(the bed is now occupied by papa mizner.)

[wilson, spoken]
sorry, mama. how is he?

[mama, spoken]
the doctor says it’s time now

[papa mizner, spoken]
addie? willie? is that you, boys?

[wilson, spoken]
we’re here, papa

[papa, spoken]
good, good
