{APPLEGATE, spoken}
Alright, Joe

{JOE BOYD, spoken}
Say things to me, Meg

{APPLEGATE, spoken}
We've had our little joke

{JOE BOYD, spoken}
Things about us!

{APPLEGATE, spoken}
What about the World Series, Joe?

{MEG}
A woman doesn't know what she has—

{APPLEGATE, spoken}
We don't wanna miss that, do we?

{MEG}
—until she loses it

{APPLEGATE, spoken}
Look, Joe, it was a mean trick to turn you back

{MEG}
When a woman has the love of a man—

{APPLEGATE, spoken}
It was an impulse, and I regret it

{MEG}
—she abuses it

{APPLEGATE, spoken}
All your dear pals will think you welshed on them! Joe...

{MEG}
I didn't know what I had—

{APPLEGATE, spoken}
Look, Joe, it was my fault. But I'll make amends!

{MEG}
—when I had my old love

{APPLEGATE, spoken}
You can show up tomorrow, Joe, and you can be Joe Hardy again, and you can win the World Series!

{MEG}
I didn't know what I had 'til he said, "Goodbye, old love"

{APPLEGATE, spoken}
You can be a hero! I'll do right by you, Joe

{MEG}
Yes, a woman doesn't know what she has—

{APPLEGATE, spoken}
Be reasonable, Joe, I'm your friend, your buddy! You know how much I like you, Joe!

{MEG}
—'til it is no longer around

{MEG & JOE BOYD}
But the happy thought is, whatever it is she's lost

{APPLEGATE, spoken}
Listen to me you wife-loving louse, you belong to me!

{MEG & JOE BOYD}
May some day once again be found!

{APPLEGATE, spoken}
You thief, you crook! You two-timing, false-faced swindler! You robbed me!
