Act 1, Scene 8

Levi:

Look, I know the hours are long.

But the sacrifices are for you, too.

(Skeptically.)

Rachel:

Sure. Look, my life is slipping by.

I want a home. . Kids. .

And it’s never enough!

First, you wanted a house . .

Levi:

. . it's a shack.

Rachel:

. . when you got that, some land, and

when you got that you wanted more land . .

Just how much more do you have to have?

Levi:

I don't know . . 'just a little bit more' . .

Rachel:

Well, I can't wait any longer.

Levi, money has become your god.

And gods demand sacrifices . . well . . I guess . . I'm it.

Won't Regret

(Vocals: Jessie Stanley)

(Rachel)

We had a nice dance.

A fine romance.

Some laughs and some playin' around.

Some passionate nights,

everything seemed right,

and my knight I thought I'd found.

So, I won't regret the heartache.

Won't regret the tears.

Won't regret the nights spent in your arms.

Won't regret I shared your bed.

My reputation shred.

Won't regret I succumbed to your charms.

But I regret that I must leave you.

Regret that I must go.

Regret I won't believe your lies,

but, you ought'a know . . .

(that. . ) You were the only one for me.

When I awake you're the face I want to see.

You're the one I pined for.

You're the one I'd die for.

You're the one I waited for -- too long.

Levi:

Rachel . . please not like this . . I . . I love you.

Rachel:

I know. I love you, too. But I'm not

living like this any more.

Oh, and by the way --

(she raises her ring finger and points to it)

see this finger? -- you can forget about making

any more music with me

until you see a ring on this finger!
