Holiday - by Donald Ogden Stewart and Sidney Buchman Lyrics
[Edward Seton]
...Well, to begin with, it brings you to life. And after a while, you begin to know all about it. You feel...I don't know...important. (Linda: "That must be good.") It is. And then pretty soon, the game starts...A swell game. A terribly exciting game. You see, you think clear and crystal, but every move, every sentence is a problem. That gets pretty interesting.
[Linda]
You get beaten though, don't you?
[Edward Seton]
Sure, but that's good, too. Then you don't mind anything, not anything at all. Then you sleep. A long while, as long as you last...
[Linda]
Where do you end up?
[Edward Seton]
Where does anybody end up? You die. And that's all right, too...
