"Why are you telling me?"My new philosophy
The teacher gave a "D" on last week's homework
She said, "Miss Sally Brown,Your grades are going down."
I could have told her-
SALLY
(as teacher) Miss B? (as herself)
I'm she
Look see.
A "D?"
A "D."
Well, why are telling me?
And that's my new philosophy!
SCHROEDER
That's your new philosophy?
SALLY
Why are you telling me? My new philosophy!
SCHROEDER
That's great, Sally, but I've gotta go practive Chopin'sNocturne in B-Flat minor.
SALLY
No!!
I like it! "No!"
That's a good philosophy.
"No!" "No!" "No!"
SCHROEDER
That's you new philosophy, huh?
SALLY
Yes. I mean-- "No!"
Just like a bust bee
Each new philosophy
Can fly from tree to tree and keep me moving
When life's a dizzy maze
On alternating days
I choose a different phrase-
SCHROEDER
Your new philosophy?
SALLY
My new philosophy!
SCHROEDER
Sally!Some philosophies are simple:
"Man does not eat by bread alone."
Some philosophies are clear:
SALLY
"Leave your message at the sound of the tone."
BOTH
Some philosophies pick and choose
Deciding what goes in it.
SCHROEDER
Some take a lifetime,
SALLY
Mine take a minute.
SCHROEDER
But, Sally, anything that takes only a minute can't bevery lasting.
For instance, Beethoven took over two yearsto complete his brilliant Ninth SYmphony.
SALLY
"No!"
SCHROEDER
I can't stand it!
SALLY
"I can't stand it!" I like it!
It's like a gurantee.
My new philosophy.
And things are sure to be a whole ot brighter
"Oh, yeah? That's what you think!"
"Why are you telling me?"
"No!"
"I can't stand it!"
Now life is free and easy,
Much more philosophy-zy,
With my brand new-You know,
someone had said that we should live every day as if it were the last day of our life.
LUCY(passing by and overhearing)
Aaugh! This is the last day!! This is it!! I only have twenty-four hours left!! Help me! Help me! This is the lastday!! Aaugh!
SALLY
Clearly, some philosophies aren't for all people.
And that's my new philosophy!
