(PIANO INTRO, TRAFFIC SOUNDS)
GK: When people walk by a snowman such as myself, they tend not to make eye contact and who can blame them? I am just a pile of round chunks of snow sort of iced over with two buttons for eyes and a tennis ball for a nose and I'm sort of expressionless, but it doesn't mean I don't feel things. I sense what people are thinking sometimes as they walk past me.
(FOOTSTEPS, WITH SOME URGENCY)
TR: I've got to pee SO BAD. Why didn't I go when I was at Jennifer's house? Aiyiyi. (FADES AWAY)
GK: It's this odd thing about water, which is what I am, mostly, same as humans ----- the thing about water is that it picks up vibrations, senses energy-- and so everytime someone passes me ----- I feel something.
(FOOTSTEPS IN SNOW, PASSING)
TR (INTERIOR): Tonight's the night!!! Oh boy oh boy oh boy.
SS (INTERIOR): What am I doing with this jerk? Why can't I dump him?
TR (SINGS TO HIMSELF): Oh yeah. I can tell. She wants me. Oh yeah!
SS: What if I just run as fast as I can---
(FOOTSTEPS)
GK: When my head was knocked off a couple weeks ago, I got a look at the sky and the ground and when they put it back on the wrong way, I saw across the street, but otherwise I look at that green wooden house where a man lives who sometimes stands in his front window and plays an air guitar and sings----
PD: (W ELECTRIC GUITAR, SINGS)
I see the bad moon arising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin'.
I see bad times today.
Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.
SS (OFF): Honey, what are you doing??
PD: Nothing----
SS (OFF): Are you okay??
PD: Just fine-------(SINGS, SOFTLY) There's a bad moon on the rise.
SS (OFF): What???
PD: Nothing.
GK: I don't know if they're happy or not. Hard to tell. My best friend these days is a spruce tree lying on the ground by the curb. She used to stand in their front window, with colored lights all over her, and now she's dying.
SS (TREE): I don't know what the lights were about. Seemed to make them happy. Didn't do much for me. Made me dry and feverish. Now I guess I'm waiting for someone to haul me away. Not much of a life.
GK: Well, at least we can talk.
SS (TREE): Talk about what?? We will never know any more than we know right now, which is dirt. That's it.
GK: Don't be so down all the time.
SS (TREE): I AM down. Look at me. I would give anything for water. I wish you'd melt a little.
GK: And not far away is another snow person who I can barely see who somebody put a big hat on and ever since she's been singing-----
HM (SINGS): (LA SNOWMAN)
Para bailar la snowman,
Para bailar la snowman,
Arriba y arriba
Y arriba y arriba, por ti sere,
Snowman, snowman, snowman, snowman
Snowman, snowman
Snowman.
GK: You singing to me????
HM: AT LAST YOU NOTICED!!!!
GK: What's on your hat?
HM: BANANAS! ORANGES! FLOWERS!
GK: Real ones??
HM: REAL TO ME!!! YOU SHOULD GET A HAT!!! IT
CHANGES EVERYTHING!!! I USED TO BE SAD LIKE YOU AND NOW I'M A SINGER!!!
(HM SINGS)
I may be made of snow
But I can shake my hips, you know.
Shake it once and shake it twice.
Hey baby, come and melt my ice.
(SHE VOCALIZES, FADING)
GK: The other day the mailman came by with a long box which he opened and showed to me.
TR (SID): Hey. You ever see flowers? Probably not. --- Nice, huh. ---- Guy in that house ordered them for his wife after she got so mad at him. She was gonna throw him out. So----- flowers are cheaper than a hotel room. Right? Okay. You take care now. See you tomorrow.
(FOOTSTEPS AWAY)
GK: Tomorrow. I don't think about it. Here they come---- haven't seen them for awhile.
(FOOTSTEPS IN SNOW AND STOP)
SS: Thank you for a wonderful evening, Brian.
TR: Did you enjoy it?
SS: I did.
TR: Did you really?
SS: Of course. Why do you always ask me that?
TR: I never knew anyone who enjoyed being with me before.
SS: Well, I do. I hope we can do it again soon.
TR: How about tomorrow night?
SS: I'd like that.
TR: Are you sure?
SS: Of course I'm sure.
TR I mean, if you change your mind, you can just text me and let me know. And it doesn't have to be, like, a date or anything, we can just hang out.
SS: I want to date you, Brian. And there's one more thing.
TR: What?
SS: I want you to kiss me.
TR: Now? Really?
SS: Yes, now.
TR: Here? But what if people see us?
SS: I don't care.
TR: I don't know about this.
SS: Come here.
GK: And she pulled him close to her and she put her face right up to his and they touched and I felt very strong remarkable feelings right then. I felt light coming out of the top of my head. I'm snow and yet I trembled.
HM: ALL YOU NEED IS A HAT!!!! (SHE SINGS)
Arriba y arriba
Y arriba y arriba, por ti sere,
HM & GK:
Snowman, snowman, snowman, snowman
Snowman, snowman
Snowman. (AND A CHORD)
