Digestion

[LEO burps loudly.]

[MARIANNE, spoken]
Do I hear music?

[LEO, spoken]
Must've eaten something

[CLAUDIA, spoken]
I wonder what the kids are up to

[PAUL, spoken]
You calling them?

[CLAUDIA, spoken]
No, just surfing

[FRITZ, spoken]
Hey. Hey, you. What's going on out there?

[WINDSOR, spoken]
Patience, Apocalypse
All will be revealed

[MARIANNE, spoken]
Is my hair a horror?
[LEO burps.]

[RAFFAEL, spoken]
Not at all, it's beautiful

[MARIANNE, spoken]
Oh, stop

[COLONEL MARTIN, spoken]
What you're playing, that is beautiful

[BISHOP, spoken]
Really?

[FRITZ, spoken]
Christ!

[RAFFAEL, spoken, sotto voce to MARIANNE]
I have to have you
Now, more than ever

[LEO burps.]

[WINDSOR, spoken]
A digestif—sir?
[LEO, spoken]
No, thanks

[FRITZ, spoken]
Over here, pal

[PAUL]
I have to say
I didn't think
The carrots had much lilt

[CLAUDIA, spoken]
Oh, you always say that

[MARIANNE, spoken]
Isn't it wonderful to be doing something different for a change?

[RAFFAEL, spoken, sotto voce to MARIANNE]
I have to have you
Now, more than ever

[LEO burps.]

[WINDSOR, spoken]
A digestif—sir?
[LEO, spoken]
No, thanks

[FRITZ, spoken]
Over here, pal

[PAUL]
I have to say
I didn't think
The carrots had much lilt

[CLAUDIA, spoken]
Oh, you always say that

[MARIANNE]
Isn't it wonderful to be doing something different for a change?

[LEO]
You know, I've eaten a carrot every—
*Burp*
Day for forty—
*Burp*
Years—Jesus, what is this?

[PAUL]
I have nothing but praise
For the beef Bordelaise
But she fucked up the glaze
On the peas

[MARIANNE, spoken]
Oh, please
Peas, peas, peas, who cares?
Here we are in Eden

[CLAUDIA, spoken]
And then some

[RAFFAEL, spoken]
Oh, I love this expression. "And then some"
Did you have fun? And then some!
Was it good? Oh, and then some!
People tell me less is more
I say, no. More is more. And then some!
