Comment:

TINA(Turns): Oh, Rick, Rick, I'm scared. What's happened to us? I can't seem to find us anymore. I reach out and reach out and we're just not there. I'm frightened. I'm a frightened child. (Looks out window) I hate this rain. Sometimes I see me dead in it.


RICK (quietly): My darling, isn't that a line from "A Farewell to Arms"?

Incidentally, three songs in a row feature references to the same Midwestern city, which I found surprising. If you identify them(either the city or the songs) you will have my undying respect.

Nice mix -- like the Richard and Linda, in particular-- your heart is an autumn garage. And so is mine.

This is absolutely brilliant Adam. And is East St Paul the city you were talking about?

It is indeed! Well done, I didn't think anyone was even going to guess. It's mentioned, of course, in the Tom Rush, John Prine, and Steve Forbert selections. Nicely done, Jana.
