Posted: 8/5/04 at 8:44pmI actually asked my grandpa cause I used the monologue as a HS Audition, it means "All men must pee and poop!"
Rosencrantz: "Be happy - if you're not even HAPPY what's so good about surviving? We'll be all right. I suppose we just go on."

I love it! I actually looked it up on a Yiddish translation site like a year ago and it cracked me up. I do speak a little Yiddish (being half Jewish) but not enough to converse in it. I really only know the bad/funny words.

His bus'ness is the bus'ness with his pretty secretary"

They had it coming!
I cant control my destiny.
I dont own emotions i RENT!
Johnny can't decide.
Actions speak louder than words.
They both reached for the gun.
Though scattered and divided we are still its heart...AIDA SEPTEMBER 5th, 2004...one more longing backward glance...

We all are caught in the middle of one long treacherous riddle
No knot unties itself
On that note, there are giants in the sky!
How to spell Schadenfreude
How to say Czolgosz
Fops are very fickle ("Christine, Christine, You don't have to/They can't make you" three seconds later "Christine, Christine Don't think that I don't care/But every hope and every prayer rests on you now")
They were you, They were you, They were you
And finally, It's all a facade

Posted: 8/5/04 at 9:35pmI am my own best friend.
What is Broadway? A street? Some say it's a street. Some say it is the best street in the world. Others think its terrible. That's the beauty of it, it's terribly beautiful. Some hate it and don't know why. Others love it and don't know why. That's what makes it so wonderful, it's a mystery.

- There's no business like show business!
- You need a small mind and a small heart to run Urine Good Company.
("If the stuff in her head is as big as the stuff in her heart, I'm sure she'll be running this company in no time." And we know Hope was a ditz = small mind. Small mind = small heart = running the company.)

No knot unties itself.
Sometimes the things you most wish for are not to be touched.
The harder to get, the better to have.
Never wear mauve at a ball.
Or pink.
Or open your mouth.
The difference between a cow and a bean is a bean can begina an adventure.
Slotted spoons don't hold much soup.
The prettier the flower, the farther from the path.
The closer to the family, the closer to the wine.
The mouth of a Wolf's not the end of the world.
A servant is not just a dog, to a Prince.
Oppurtunity is not a lengthy visitor.
You may know what you need but to get what you want better see that you keep what you have.
Ah, Into the Woods. Chock full of lessons.

You're always sorry,
You're always grateful,

One among us dances with the devil.
There's a Bender among us he must be exposed he'll kidnap our children and take off their clothes.
Palm to palm is holy palmers kiss.
Don't tell Paul i'm not getting married today
Everybody's got the right to be happy

saddle: What did you mean when you said Wickeds boring (thanks Jackie Hoffman for your improvs)? Did she say something in Hairspray about it? If so, what? I LOVE Wicked, obviously, but I think shes hysterical, and I know that she likes the show anyway (shes said it before), but what was her improv? Shes soooooooo funny!
