[BRITTAIN] It got smashed and lost. The pieces are lost.
[GELSEY] I'm sorry. Here, have some whiskey.
[BRITTAIN] Thank you.
[GELSEY] It was a real camera? Not a phone?
[BRITTAIN] Not a phone. I do not like phones.
[GELSEY] Me neither. Well, we'll get you all set up with a new camera. But sit first, and drink a bit. You need to take care of yourself.
[BRITTAIN] Thank you.
[GELSEY] Are you traveling?
[BRITTAIN] Yes, from Portland.
[GELSEY] Oh, I've been there once. They have that cool library.
[BRITTAIN] That's Seattle.
[GELSEY] Oh. I get them mixed up. Did you grow up there?
[BRITTAIN] Yes, when I was a kid.
[GELSEY] That's nice. It's nice to have roots.
[BRITTAIN] What about you, have you been here long?
[GELSEY] This store has been in my family for four generations
[BRITTAIN] Wow.
[GELSEY] See that fiddle on the wall? It belonged to my great-grandmother Her name was Rose
[BRITTAIN] Well, that's my name!
[GELSEY] It's a beautiful name. Old-fashioned, you don't hear it a lot anymore
[BRITTAIN] The color is so light... what's it made of?
[GELSEY] An old breastbone
[BRITTAIN] Creepy...
[GELSEY] It was the breastbone of her sister Her name was Pearl I'll tell you the story.
[GELSEY (PEARL WHITE)] Rose and Pearl lived by the sea Gathering salt by the moonlight
[GELSEY & BRITTAIN (PEARL WHITE & ROSE RED)] And Rose loved a man who lived in the trees Rose cried to Pearl, "Hold me tight, hold me tight"
[GELSEY] Rose went to his treehouse And looked at the stars through his telescope
[GELSEY & BRITTAIN] She wanted to hold his hand So she wrote him a poem Signed it and sealed it
[GELSEY] In a rice paper envelope
[BRITTAIN] With a lily for a stamp
[GELSEY] But the man stole her work He was the editor of a prestigious astronomy journal He wrote down all she saw And published it in his name And Rose grew to hate him And then Pearl caught his eye
[BRITTAIN (ROSE)] I'm a little confused, and more than a little frightened
[GELSEY (PEARL)] It's okay, my dear This is a circular story
[GELSEY (PEARL WHITE)] And so Rose ran into the forest And asked a great bear to maul the astronomer And to turn the cruel sister into a black crow And put the crow and the corpse in a cave Until the crow started to starve And she'd have no choice But to peck out the eyes of her lover and eat them...
[BRITTAIN (ROSE)] I don't believe any of this.
[GELSEY (PEARL)] Don't you remember? The bear named his price:
[BRENT (BEAR)] One pot of honey One piece of stardust One secret baptism And a photo of a ghost
[ALL] One pot of honey One piece of stardust One secret baptism And a photo of a ghost
[GELSEY] Rose stole the honey from a soldier
[GELSEY & BRITTAIN] She pretended to love
[GELSEY] Stole the stardust from an ancient
[GELSEY & BRITTAIN] She pretended to care
[GELSEY] And for the baptism She stole a baby From it's mother A frightened teenager in a mansion
[GELSEY & BRITTAIN] And took the child into the sea And the child was blessedTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
