[MRS. GABOR]
Dear Herr Stiefel - Moritz,
I´ve spent the entire day thinking about your note.
Truly it touched me, it did, that you would think of me as a friend.
Of course, I was saddened to hear that you exams came off rather less well than you´d hoped
And that you will not be promoted come fall.
And, yet, I must say straightaway that fleeing to America is hardly the solution.
And, even if it were, I cannot provide the money you request…

[MORITZ]
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, well, fine
Not like it´s even worth the time
But still, you know, you wanted more
Sorry, it won´t change, been there before

[MRS. GABOR]
...You would do me wrong, Herr Stiefel, to read into my refusal any lack of affection.
On the contrary, as Melchior´s mother, I truly believe it to be my duty to curb this momentary loss…

[MORITZ]
The things that sucks, okay?
For me a thousand bucks, I´m, like, scott free
And I mean, please, that´s all I need
Get real, Jose!
By now you know the score

[MRS. GABOR]
...Should you like, I am ready to write your parents.
I will try to convince them that no one could´ve worked harder last semester,
And also that too rigorous a condemnation of your current misfortune
Could have the gravest possible effect on…

[MORITZ]
You wanna laugh, it´s too absurd
You start to ask, can´t hear a word
You´re gonna crash and burn
Right, tell me more

[MRS. GABOR]
...Still, Herr Stiefel, one thing in your letter disturbed me.
Your, what shall we call it, veiled threat that should escape not be possible
You would take your own life…

[MORITZ]
Okay, so now we do the play
Act like we so care, no way!
You´ll write my folks, well, okay
Babe, that´s how it goes

[MRS. GABOR]
...My dear boy, the world is filled with men -
Businessmen, scientists, scholars even who have done rather poorly in school
And, yet, have gone on to brilliant careers.
Consider, for example, our friend…

[MORITZ]
They´ll freak, or won´t
You toe the line
You tell your soul, “Just kill some time.”
Will it quit?
It will until they don´t

They´re not my home, not anymore
Not like they so were before
Still, I´ll split, and they´ll like
Well, who knows?

[MRS. GABOR]
...In any case, I assure you that your present misfortune will have no effect on my feelings for you
Or, on your relationship with Melchior…

[MORITZ & BOYS]
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, well, fine
Not like it´s even worth the time
But still, you know, you wanted more
Okay, so nothing´s changed, heard that before

You wanna laugh, it´s too absurd
You start to ask, can´t hear a word
You want to crash a burn
Right, tell me more

You start to cave, you start to cry
You try to run, nowhere to hide
You want to crumble up, and close that door

[MRS. GABOR ]
...So, head high, Herr Stiefel!
And do let me hear from you soon.
In the meantime, I am unchangingly, and most fondly yours,
Fanny Gabor

[MORITZ]
Just fuck it, right?
Enough, that´s it
You´ll still go on, well, for a bit
Another day of utter shit
And then there were none

[MORITZ & BOYS]
And, then there were none
And, then there were none
And, then there were none
