THOMAS
While the moment's good
You take what you can
Because the moment
Might not be so good for long
So you've got a tree
It might just be a tree
But if you only see a tree
Then you've got it wrong
You could be showing us who's not afraid
Or nestle underneath it's shade
And maybe it's not perfect, but it's here
So take a chance
The coast is clear
When it's ripe you've gotta grab the fruit
Get it while you can and the rest will follow suit
Maybe it's not paradise but for the price you're getting
It's a deal you've got to knock on wood
You've got to grab the moment while the moment's good
NICOLE
I don't think "while the moment's good" is a thing. Also I think you might be mixing your metaphors.
THOMAS
I think you might be mixing me up with someone else because my metaphors are awesome.
NICOLE
But the tree is the fruit.
THOMAS
No the moment is the fruit. The tree is the moment... is the fruit. Not important. The point is, well, for example:
Think about the bark
You climb the bark while you embark
So the bark therefore is
Sorta like the sea
TERRENCE
Yeah, I hear it.
Take the shade
The shade can be an aid for you
When you want to unwind here
On your own
THOMAS
It's like an eagle
An eagle who so regally
Takes you underneath its wing and-
NICOLE
I'm gonna stop you right there.
THOMAS
Yeeaahh, that was bad.
NICOLE
Look, I appreciate the sentiment, but this tree is not interesting to me. I get it - it's some kind of magical palace for your bird watching.
TERRENCE
Birds can't afford palaces! Now who's not making any sense?
NICOLE
Not the point.
THOMAS
No, the point is
It might be hard to understand
It might be slightly a little less grander
Than all the things you dreamed that you would do
But it's just today
Embrace what's here in front of you
Getting there on the first try can be hard
NICOLE & TERRENCE
Skill it back and look for something right there in your yard
Take it in discreet steps
Pace yourself with easy street steps
NICOLE
Let yourself be less than you think you should.
THOMAS
Nope, not what I meant.
You gotta take the moment while the moment's good.
TERRENCE
I just wanna watch the birds go by
Sitting underneath this giant hopeless fir, or whatever it is
I wanna watch them fly and fly
So long as I can get away from her
NICOLE
Warrior Girl sets out on her expedition
Warrior Girl climbs the tallest oak, or whatever it is
She looks over rooftops from her high altitude position
As she floats in the wind
Wait, what did you just say?
THOMAS
If I could get a word
In
Then I would say that there's a way
That both of you could find a common ground
While the moment's good
You can take this opportunity to talk it out so maybe you'll both come around
TERRENCE
Sorry for that thing I said
NICOLE
It's okay let's hang out by this tree
NICOLE & TERRENCE
Just you and me
And then this other guy
THOMAS
I'm so glad
That I could help... 3! 4!
NICOLE & TERRENCE
It might be just a lonely stage ripe elm
NICOLE
Or whatever it is
TERRENCE
But it could be a quiet spot to read
NICOLE
Or something less silly like the helm of a pirate ship
Or a bridge
NICOLE & TERRENCE
That sits right up into the sky
It's a small dream but it could be just as good
You've gotta grab the moment while the moment's good
You've gotta grab the moment while the moment's good
You've gotta grab the moment while the moment's good
