Scene 1 – Set 9 (Mike and Jenny's Kitchen) – Song #21
JENNY is in her kitchen cleaning up dishes from breakfast. She is on the phone making plans for the day.
JENNY
Ok. I'll pick up Sara at 1:30.
Pause.
Right.
Pause.
No. I'm staying for the game. I'll see you when you get there and we'll take the girls for pizza afterwards, if that's Ok with you.
Pause.
Great. Oh. I have to pick up Matthew on the way to (Pizza Parlor). He will eat with us, and then I have to bring him to his game for 4:30. If I leave Becca with you at (Pizza Parlor), I can pick her up at your house around 7.
Pause.
Right. Ok. Great. See you then.
Jenny wipes the counter and finally sits down with a cup of tea. She stirs the spoon in her cup, deep in thought, looking out the window. The music starts to Song #21 – “You Don't Know.”
JENNY
Through my window.
Shines the morning light.
Just a memory,
The cold stormy night.
Like a spring day
After winter’s rage.
Life goes on and I’ve turned the page.
But you don’t know how much I miss you.
How much I wish you would wake me
to say you didn’t go.
You don’t know how much I want you.
How much I care.
Baby, baby, you don’t know.
Like my life.
My picket fence.
Needs a little mending
Trying to make some sense.
But I’ll fix it.
And now I realize.
Grass can grow as green on either side.
But you don’t know how much I miss you.
How much I wish you would wake me
to say you didn’t go.
You don’t know how much I want you.
How much I care.
Baby, baby, you don’t know.
Life’s not over. A new life’s just begun.
But you don’t know how much I miss you.
How much I wish you would wake me
To say you didn’t go.
You don’t know how much I want you.
How much I care.
Baby, baby you don’t know.
Baby, baby, you don’t know.
Baby, you don’t know.
Jenny drops her head slightly. End of Scene 1, ACT III.
