Letra de ' Big Picture ' de Original Cast Of Ordinary Days

[Deb]
I’ll have a mocha caramel latte-chino
Made with skim milk, no whipped cream
Please put that in a grande cup
But use the same amount of coffee that you’d put into a tall
That way there’s about an inch of extra room on top
To stir in my own nutmeg without spilling any coffee at all
What do you want?

[Warren]
I’ll have a tea

[Deb]
What kind?

[Warren]
Just, tea?

[Deb]
He’ll have your green Darjeeling tea
Which I’m sure you know cannot be steeped for more than ninety-five seconds
Shall we?
So, what’s your deal?

[Warren]
My what?

[Deb]
Your deal
What are you about?

[Warren]
Well, I’m about five foot five, I guess
You really don’t find me funny at all

[Deb]
Funny, yes
Amusing, no
But seriously, Warren, I want to know
Describe to me your big picture

[Warren]
Well, there’s this Picasso

[Deb]
Don’t start
Everyone’s got a big picture
Something they shoot for that sets them apart
We’ve all got an awful lot to do before we’re dead
So, where do you see yourself in, say, five years?

[Warren]
I haven’t thought that far ahead

[Deb]
Are you gonna be serious?

[Warren]
Do I have to?
Well, I work for an artist

[Deb]
Tell me what you do

[Warren]
I don’t know, I watch his cat
And this morning I fixed his curtain rod

[Deb]
Sure, okay, that pays the rent
But that is not exactly what I meant
When I asked to hear your big picture
Something beyond your daily routine
Talk about your big picture
The fairy tale ending that you’ve always seen
I am sure there’s something more to you than doing chores
Everyone’s got a big picture in mind

[Warren]
So, what’s yours?

[Deb]
Well, since you asked
In five years I’ll have an amazing apartment
With bookshelves built into the walls
A window that looks out on someplace big
And a personal assistant who screens my calls
The book I write will be required reading
To get into the seminars that I’ll be leading
That’s the plan, as far as I can see it
And yet it isn’t quite apparent what I’m supposed to do to get it
Some big picture

How’s your tea?

[Warren]
My what?

[Deb]
Your tea?

[Warren]
Oh, it’s sort of
Gotten cold

[Deb]
These stupid baristas don’t know how to heat a proper–

[Warren]
Deb, it’s really okay
Look, I know that we just met
But it seems to me that maybe you might wanna get
Some perspective on this big picture
Big, after all, is a relative term
Maybe this whole big picture
Shouldn’t be something on which you stand firm
You’re in a rut, who cares, so what?
If your picture’s not quite clear
I mean, you and me and lukewarm tea
This could be your really big picture right here

[Deb]
Oh my God, you’re right

[Warren]
See?

[Deb]
Sitting here at Starbucks drinking mediocre coffee
With a professional cat sitter
Is all my life is going to amount to

[Warren]
That’s not really what I meant

[Deb]
No, it’s okay, I’m a strong woman, I can handle it
Oh my God, what time is it?
I have to go

[Jason]
Where are you going, Claire?

[Warren]
You don’t have to go

[Claire]
Please don’t–

[Jason]
Claire, stop

[Deb]
Yes, I do, I’m late for my appointment

[Claire]
Not now

[Warren]
Deb, there’s something I want to show you

[Jason]
You can’t just leave me in the rain
And hope that things will wash away

[Deb]
I can’t
Not now
Yes, later, Warren
I promise, later, Warren

[Jason]
Promise me
Would you just then
Don’t you want to-

Jesus, Claire
Where are you going, Claire?
Can’t you just talk to me, Claire?
