Little Orphan Shirley

(Home. Shirliey Bassey’s rendition of ‘As Long as He Needs Me’ plays on iTunes. Andy sings along)

Ron: You know that song?

Andy: Yeah. It is from Oliver!

Ron: Now it is not.

Andy: Yes honey.

Ron: Shirley sang this song first.

Andy: No she didn’t. Oliver! is about an orphan named Oliver. I know. We did the show in middle school.

Ron: She played the sister.

Andy: Oliver didn’t have a sister. That’s the point. He was an orphan.

Ron: Then it was that other show. She played one of the adults.

Andy: Annie?

Ron: Yeah.

Andy: No honey. Oliver and Annie were not brother and sister.

Ron: And they were separated at birth because they didn’t want them growing up together.

(pause)

Andy: Goddammit that’s Return of the Jedi!
