For the Record - 36 Questions

[SAMMY KYLE]

For the record, this is self destructive
For the record, I'm aware of that
For the record, I've been picturing his body
Draped over the sofa, wearing nothing but his hat

For the record
I'm screwed

For the record, this can still go my way
For the record, I can keep my pride
All I have to do is keep us focused on the questions
Each one of his responses will remind me how he lied

That's the answer
That's what I'll do

I'll use the 36, 36, 36, 36 questions
As a lifeline

And of course I have sympathy
For the pathological liar who did this to me
And yes, I admit
I wish I could touch him

But the questions will make one thing clear
There's nothing left of my old life to spare
No matter how much I may...

[ARES VELASCO]

Ta-da!

[SAMMY KYLE]

What's up?

[ARES VELASCO]

What do you think?

[SAMMY KYLE]

About what?

[ARES VELASCO]

My t-shirt. Go Nighthawk!

[SAMMY KYLE]

Yeah, uh, go Nighthawk. Anyway
I was just, uh, setting the table here

[ARES VELASCO]

Oh

[SAMMY KYLE]

I don't know why I did that. That's...weird

[ARES VELASCO]

It makes perfect sense to me. It's kinda like a weird first date
Which is really why we oughta have more booze

[SAMMY KYLE]

I have whiskey. But, um, did you...did you want wine?

[ARES VELASCO]

Do you have wine?

[SAMMY KYLE]

Yeah. The glass shattered on the chiller last night but I think the reds are okay. I'll just... hmm... yeah, I'll get 'em. I'll be right back.
Stay with Ares, Batcat

[ARES VELASCO]

Hey, Batcat. I can imagine all the horrible stuff you've heard about me. Well, it's all true. But you don't seem like the kind of cat who holds a grudge
You're not a whiskey drinker, are you? No...you like to keep your wits about you. I like that

For the record, I did not expect this
I really thought this would be a harder sell
I came up with this plan at 4 am on Interstate 10
How was I to know that it would work so well?

For the record

I haven't thought a lot about the way I'll answer
I guess I'm still afraid that I might lie
If I could only make them see, if I was given the choice
Of telling them the truth or sticking knives into my eyes

I'd choose the knives
But I'll survive

I'll use the 36, 36, 36, 36 questions
As a pastime
36, 36, 36, 36 questions
Just like last time

And maybe it's wrong to say
But their defense and distance will not sway
Me from believing this is possible

If they didn't love me anymore
Why the hell did they open the front door?
I think it's a sign that they--

[SAMMY KYLE]

Hey

[ARES VELASCO]

What's up?

[SAMMY KYLE]

Uh...there's a good chance this wine might be terrible

[ARES VELASCO]

Uh...I-I'd settle for drinkable

[SAMMY KYLE]

I make no promises. Oh, you lit candles

[ARES VELASCO]

Yeah, I thought it would help set the mood

[SAMMY KYLE]

What's "the mood"?

[ARES VELASCO]

Hmm...hopeful?

Just like after our first date
When we sat on your carpet
Drank two bottles of wine

[SAMMY KYLE]

This is different
Two years have gone by
My whole life was a lie

[BOTH]

But there's something that feels so familiar
We've been here before

[SAMMY KYLE]

Staring at each other

[ARES VELASCO]

Suddenly caring for each other

[BOTH]

Moving on
To question 2

[SAMMY KYLE]

"Would you like to be famous? In what way?"

[ARES VELASCO]

We're asking 36, 36, 36, 36 questions
To each other

[SAMMY KYLE]

Tonight's 36 reasons why you and I cannot be
Healthy for each other

[BOTH]

We're asking 36, 36, 36, 36 questions
Tonight

36, 36, 36, 36 questions

For the second time
36, 36, 36, 36 questions
For the last time
36, 36, 36, 36 questions
For the last time
36, 36, 36, 36 questions
For the last time
36, 36, 36, 36 questions
For the last time
36, 36, 36, 36 questions
This will be the last thing
