The Dreamer

Kathy and Elliot Lewis on say N Ladies and gentlemen Elliot Lewis good evening. I present my wife Kathy good evening Good drama and I'm using that word to mean comedy or melodrama or satire or whatever

Good drama is based on conflict. Like a football game and a simple term. Or a troubled man at war with himself. Or two handsome young men who want to marry the same beautiful young lady.

Or a father and a son fighting for an empire. Or just two people who believe differently. A young man named Don Yarrow came to see us with an idea for an onstage play. It was a play about a conflict in ideas.

A conflict between a young man and his father-in-law. We thought it was a good play and we're going to do it tonight. It's called the dreamy. We live in a quiet town, Stephanie. Not so small, but it's so fluffy that you can't breathe and can't call your story alone.

And not so big that it has no...well, character. I guess you know what I mean about big towns. Ours in the quiet town. Just the light side. And it's too tough, Stephanie. Now I've made it down because I didn't shoot dead and that's not true.

And I didn't mean it to sound that way at all. Oh, Dad lived here all his life. But with him, it would be all the same wherever he did. When you go around with your feet off the ground and your head in the clouds, what's his face good at men?

A dreamer doesn't call any place home. A dreamer doesn't call any place home. Sounds of a silly. I wouldn't mind so much if there was something practical about what he does down in the cell of it. There isn't. It's also such a waste of time.
