Lyrics


ANCHOR
What a delightful surprise
Your luncheon invitation

DIVA
We so seldom see each other
‘Bout time we get caught up

DIVA & ANCHOR
‘Bout time that we got caught up
Got caught up
Got caught up
Caught up

WAITER
Our soup today, a special Cream of Truffle
Infused with chef’s secret ingredients which form a bubble
And when that bubble bursts it releases the scent of
Springtime, roses and a hint of that new car smell

The catch de jour an Emperor Cod grilled to perfection
Served in a butter sauce
 (Aside)
Flavored with spit and rancor
DIVA
The fish sounds delicious
But we need…
Yes a few more minutes to 
Decide
Meanwhile shall we order

A bottle of wine
I’ll defer to Anchor’s palate
Yes fetch the best Pinot
In your cellar for us
This meal’s on me
Please charge my account

ANCHOR

A few minutes 
To decide,
Decide
We need some wine
We must have wine
A bottle of wine
Zin? No I think Pinot Noir
The Pinot and 
Luncheon tab
Billed to my 
Account


ANCHOR
I really enjoyed my interview on your show
But oddly I can’t recall how it ended

DIVA
(Aside)
That’s something I can use to advantage and exploit


DIVA
More is always best
At least that’s how
I was raised

DIVA & ANCHOR
Fill both glasses up
The better for a toast
To friendship
Lifelong friends
You and I

DIVA
Drink up
This is quaffing wine

DIVA
 (Aside)
I need his defenses lowered

ANCHOR
Strange, I don’t remember
Leaving your set

DIVA
Well you were fabulous

ANCHOR
We were chatting about my special
Next thing I woke up
Sprawled across a couch

DIVA
You told that story about how we met
Everyone loved your banter, so witty

ANCHOR
But…

DIVA
I think your problem is stress

ANCHOR
…Stress?

DIVA
Yes, I’ve had this very same problem myself

ANCHOR
Not remembering things?

DIVA
Indeed I did
So now I know the cure

ANCHOR
What is it please

DIVA
It’s simple

ANCHOR
Tell me

DIVA
You need rest, rest, rest
Then more rest

ANCHOR
That’s it, just some rest?

DIVA & ANCHOR
Rest, rest, then more rest
Healthy refreshing rest

DIVA
I took two months off
Under my doctor’s direction to rest
(Aside)
No need to share he’s a plastic surgeon

ANCHOR
I suppose I could use a vacation

DIVA
My case was mild
Yours seems more severe
Let me examine your eyes

ANCHOR
You can tell from this?

DIVA
If you know how to look
It’s worse than I feared
Better take action fast

ANCHOR
Dear me what should I do?

DIVA
You must drastically simplify your life

ANCHOR
Easier said than done

DIVA
Retire and live a lazy life
I’d do it myself if I could

ANCHOR
But you’re as old as me
And surely worth more than I

DIVA
Yet you invested wisely
While I have a taste for roulette
So retirement is just a dream

ANCHOR
That can’t be true
She owns at least seven houses
A new book every other year
Her makeup line
Plus all those speaking fees
I’ve never seen her gamble
Not even in an office pool

She must be in cahoots
With that dog Sir Mogul
