[Jason] My father says that love Is the most beautiful thing in the world I think games are I think chess is the most Beautiful thing Not love [Whizzer] Marvin at the Psychiatrist, a three-part mini opera Part One [Mendel] Do you love him? [Marvin] Sorta kinda [Mendel] Do you need him? [Marvin] Sorta kinda He makes me smile a lot Especially at mealtime It makes me feel I'm sort of smart [Mendel] Hm Is he special? [Marvin] He's delightful [Mendel] And romantic? [Marvin] Yes, and spiteful But yet it seems that so am I [Mendel] Just enjoy what you can Love the boy, not the man [Marvin] Man Sorta stylish [Mendel] Kinda very [Marvin] Mmm, very very sorta [Mendel] And kind of hard to describe? [Marvin] Yes, yes, I think that's very true [Mendel] When he's naked- [Marvin] Yes? [Mendel] Does he thrill you? [Marvin] Yes! [Mendel] Is he vicious? [Marvin] Yes! [Mendel] Would he kill you? [Marvin] (Thinks) Yes I think he's sorta kinda mean But I love him, and I need it If he loved me, I'd concede it [Mendel] Don't despise what you feel Love the friend, not the heel [Marvin] Heel [Mendel] He's sometimes worthless [Marvin] Sometimes evil [Mendel] Sometimes smarmy [Whizzer] Part Two [Mendel] Explore, Mr. Marvin Your core, Mr. Marvin Note how your wife, your ex-wife’s subtle glories Coupled with her tragic stories Move me in unreported ways At her very first session She made quite an impression Do you mind that? She was here to speak of Jason And I find that I hope Jason acts out more 'Cause there’s a few more things we need explored [Marvin] Good [Mendel] Good You said she was withholding— [Marvin] Right [Mendel] Well that’s not quite true [Marvin] No? [Mendel] Perhaps she held back love from you [Marvin] Did she really? [Mendel] I just know what I’m told 'Cause when I met your wife, she was anything but cold It wasn't quite precise to say that she was ice When I met your wife, she was very nice Very, very, very Was she faithful? Be objective [Marvin] Yes [Mendel] She was faithful [Marvin] Yes [Mendel] And you wanted to Impress her [Marvin] Yes sir, yes sir But impress her I did not [Mendel] Did she sweat a lot? [Marvin] What? [Mendel] Was she ruthless? [Marvin] Huh? [Mendel] Narcissistic? [Marvin] Who-? [Mendel] Let me vary the mood [Marvin] Yes, please [Mendel] Does she sleep in the nude? [Marvin] Nope [Mendel] No, does not sleep nude Okay, going on I have questions That should probably go unanswered But there're questions Like, does she wear a negligé Could you blow and it would blow away? Since the session’s nearly through Tell me, what is going on with you? [Marvin] So, now you’re interested in me? [Mendel] Of course [Whizzer] Part Three [Marvin] My son's distressing [Jason] My father's snide [Marvin] I'm convalescing [Jason] He's morbid and dissatisfied [Marvin] What should I do now? [Jason] He loves another [Marvin] I agree [Jason] I love my mother [Marvin] Why not me? We go to ball games [Jason] The ball is tossed [Marvin] The pitcher's handsome [Jason] Yeah, and our team lost [Marvin] Is that my fault, though? Should I be blamed for that? [Jason] Explore museums [Marvin] Admire art [Jason] We stand together [Marvin] But we stand there looking miles apart How do I reach him? What words of wisdom? What should I do now?
