[AUGUST]
There
There it is
There's the look that launched a thousand thoughts the first time that I saw it
You remember, Marlena, when you met me
You were running from your life
And I was running out of money
You had nothing
I had nothing
But when you looked at me
You looked at me
Like I was everything that you'd ever need
And so it's strange to see
That look again
But not for me
Forgive me
I've been blathering on
You asked me a question, Jacob
You wanted to know what I thought of your
Thoughtful suggеstion
I think that a gift is a gift
And you're free to reject onе
But here's a suggestion
Don't deign to spit in a man's face and then
Call it communion
Remember, you'd have nothing
You've got nothing without me
[AUGUST, spoken]
I mean, whatever happened, ya think?
[MARLENA, spoken]
Don't, Auggie. All Jacob meant was--
[AUGUST, spoken]
Oh good
[sung]
Here's the translator
Equally eloquent at speaking adulterer
As she is elephant
My darling, which language comes easier?
I have my theories
[MARLENA, spoken]
Auggie, that's enough!
[AUGUST]
Put a ring on a finger
And what do you get?
You get happily married
And a little in debt
And then after a decade of marital bliss
You find out it don't amount
To a thimble of piss
Turns out
You've got nothing
You meant nothing
To her
[MARLENA, spoken]
August, calm down and listen to me!
[AUGUST]
You think it's easy?
Think what I do for you is easy?
Dealing with the rubes
And the bookers
The broken-down kinkers
All of them trying to cheat me
At least we could trust each other
At least I could trust my wife!
[MARLENA, spoken]
Talk to me! Don't accuse me!
[AUGUST]
Oh! Accuse you!
You all but admitted it
The minute I walked in
The two of you scurried
Like rats from a gutter
You think I can't spot a little spat
Between lovers?
And suddenly
You've got nothing
You've got nothing
To say
[JACOB]
I'm not gonna stand here and let him go on like this
[MARLENA]
Don't get involved, Jacob, please
[MARLENA & AUGUST]
Don't get involved
[AUGUST]
That's rich
Coming from the bitch who can't stop herself getting involved
But it's still great advice
Or to be more precise
Don't go screwing another man's wife--
[MARLENA, spoken]
Stop! That is enough!
You've Got Nothing, Part 2
[AUGUST, spoken]
Wade, we're picking up stakes and moving out
[WADE, spoken]
You're gonna cancel a sold-out show?
[AUGUST]
I'm not taking votes, Wade
This is dictation
Get it?
I want Jacob off of my train
Before the next station
Red-light him!
[CAMEL, spoken]
The hell you will!
[AUGUST]
Careful taking a stand, Camel
You're better off sitting
Yeah I've seen you eating our food
Without lifting a finger
Drinking us dry
Like your bottle of liquor
You and the vet
And the rest of you takers
Seem to forget what you best to remember
You've got nothing
You've got nothing
You've got nothing
You've got nothing
Without me!
[CAMEL]
Well I'll be good god damned
It never ceases to inspire
The things that people will accept
Out of the mouth of a proven liar
[spoken]
On one hand, you got Jacob, works hard with his head down
Tends to the unwell. Cleans up Rosie. Turns this shit show around
[WALTER]
Amen, brother!
On the other hand, you got the boss man, with the big plans to pack the stands
Or as you recall, he nearly ran
This whole tin can operation to the ground
[AUGUST, spoken]
You're done Walter!
[CAMEL]
You should be thanking Jacob
But I guess all the thanks we can expect
Is paranoia, slander, and the specter of death
Well August speaks the truth
In one respect
[spoken]
We got nothing, all right
And that's just how he likes it
[AUGUST]
You think you've got nothing?
Just wait
Unless someone's got something else
They'd like to say
I think we've had our share of grievances aired
For one day
[spoken]
Everybody out
Not you. You stay
[WADE, spoken]
I'm not killin' anybody boss
[AUGUST, spoken]
Because they're your friends?
You don't get friends, Wade
[sung]
You get hungry, Wade
You get tired and sick
For the bottle that you can't afford
'Cuz you're too broken to hold down a job
Hell you're too mean for the army, Wade, remember?
Until I come along
You remember?
And things get a little bit better
And you get a roof overhead
And a soft little bed
And all I require
Is that you do what I said
That's your only real value
Without that, what are you?
Well Wade, I'll tell you
You are nothing
Say it
[WADE] (AUGUST)
I am nothing without you
(You are nothing without me)
[WADE]
I am nothing
[CAMEL, spoken]
Don't do it, Wade, you're better than this
[WADE]
I am nothing
[CAMEL, spoken]
Look at me. The train's goin' too fast!
[WADE]
I am nothing
[CAMEL, spoken]
Wade!
[WADE]
I am nothing!
[WALTER, spoken]
Queenie!
[CAMEL, spoken]
Wade!
