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: (speaking) Marvin at the Psychiatrist, a three-part mini opera. Part One.
MENDEL: (singing) 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: Mm-hmm. Is he special'
MARVIN: He's delightful.
MENDEL: And romantic'
MARVIN: Yes, but spiteful. And 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: (speaking) Mmm, very very sorta.
MENDEL: (singing) And kind of hard to describe'
MARVIN: (speaking) Yes, you know, I think that's true.
MENDEL: When he's naked,-
MARVIN: Yes'
MENDEL: Does he thrill you'
MARVIN: Yes!
MENDEL: Is he vicious'
MARVIN: Yes!
MENDEL: (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.
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: (speaking) Part Two.
MENDEL: (singing) It's queer, Mr. Marvin- sorry.
MARVIN: Jesus'
MENDEL: Strange, Mr. Marvin,
How your wife- your ex-wife's meager glories
Coupled with her tragic stories,
Moves me in unreported ways.
MARVIN: She's a very good woman.
She's a wonderful woman.
MENDEL: 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 explore.
MARVIN: (speaking) No, I understand.
MENDEL: Good! Very good. Very, very good!
I feel a lot better already.
Going on' (singing) Was she a vicious woman'
MARVIN: No.
MENDEL: Did she beat the child'
MARVIN: No!
MENDEL: Did she ever drive you wild'
MARVIN: No.
MENDEL: Never'
MARVIN: No.
MENDEL: Never'
MARVIN: No.
MENDEL: Never-never-never-never'
MARVIN: No.
MENDEL: Never'
MARVIN: No.
MENDEL: Never'
MARVIN: No, no, no!
MENDEL: Was she faithful' be objective.
MARVIN: Well, yes.
MENDEL: She was faithful!
MARVIN: Yes.
MENDEL: And her last caress was:
MARVIN: Careless.
MENDEL: You mean, 'careful'.
MARVIN: Careful, not to show she cared.
MENDEL: So you weren't prepared
For the crying,
And the screaming.
MARVIN: And the beating of the breast!
(speaking) I don't want to be rude.
MENDEL: (singing) Does she sleep in the nude'
MARVIN: ...No. Going on.
MENDEL: Did you like that'
Would she change it if she knew you didn't like that'
Did she wear a negligee'
Could you blow and it would blow away'
I don't mean to interfere.
I would like to make that very clear.
WHIZZER: (speaking) Part Three.
MARVIN: (singing) 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: And our team lost.
MARVIN: Is that my problem' 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'
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.
