Scene 2 – Set 10 (Mike and Jenny’s Living Room) – Song #22
JENNY is in her living room cleaning up. While dusting the mantle, the music starts to Song #22 – “I Remember It All.” She is deep in thought when a framed photo of she and Mike catches her eye.
JENNY
Dusting off the mantle.
My mind in a distant place.
An image I know holds my eye.
Two people smiling.
A younger you and me.
A flood of memories, I cry.
I remember it all.
I remember the day we met.
Mesmerized by your eyes. How can I forget?
I remember it all.
I remember the dreams we shared.
I recall. I remember it all.
I dust the picture gently.
I place it carefully.
I wipe my eyes and find a smile.
I wonder if you think of me.
I wonder if you care.
I wonder if you’ve dusted in awhile.
I remember it all.
I remember the happy days.
How we cared. The things we shared. All your special ways.
I remember it all.
I remember the broken dreams.
I recall. I remember it all.
One thing is for certain. there’s a lot that we don’t know.
Love is like a garden. We reap just what we sew.
I didn’t know.
I remember it all.
I remember you walk away.
The things you said ringing in my head. Just like yesterday.
I remember it all.
I remember that I love you.
I recall. I remember it all.
Total recall. I remember it all.
I recall. I remember it all.
Jenny wipes her tears and drops her head slightly as if she is feeling sorrow and regret. End of Scene 2, ACT III.
