Nothing There Lyricsby Malcolm Gets and Will Chase. From Story of My Life, The Nothing There by Malcolm Gets and Will Chase THOMAS: Angels in the Snow. A work in progress. I hunkered down and got back to work, trying desperately to avoid any...distraction. ALVIN: Merry Christmas, Tom! I hope this card finds you locked in your office writing; otherwise, I simply won't excuse your not coming home. When are we gonna see a new book from you? Customers keep hounding me! I tell them, 'Don't rush him, it's a process!' So...how's the process? Miss you. Love, Al. THOMAS: (rustling paper) (reading/writing his story;) EVERY CHRISTMAS EVE, WE'D MAKE ANGELS IN THE SNOW... JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER KID HAS DONE (writes, the sound continuous under his voice) WE'D STRETCH OUT OUR ARMS AND LEGS THEN WE'D...WAVE THEM TO-AND-FRO IN A... (sighs) In a...something... IN A...HALO OF THE LATE... (taps pen) DECEMBER SUN... (crumbles paper) ALVIN: Merry Christmas, Tom! How can you bear another Christmas without me? Where's your new book? Why aren't you writing? ...Why aren't you writing me? Love, Al. THOMAS: (smooths out paper and writes on it again) PROUDLY WE'D CREATE OUR TWO ANGELS IN THE SNOW WITH...WITH...WITH REVERENTIAL ROBES AND PERFECT WINGS (crumbles sheet, pauses, then smooths it out again and continues to write) WE'D SPEND HOURS IN THE YARD... ALVIN: Merry Christmas, Tom! THOMAS: ALL THOSE CHRISTMASES AGO... ALVIN: Another Christmas, another card! THOMAS: AND...WHEN, AT LAST, THEY WERE COMPLETE, WE FELT LIKE KINGS ALVIN: I wish you'd write. THOMAS: THEN...AS THE SUN DISAPPEARED ALVIN: Love, Al. THOMAS: (hissing breath in) AND, WHEN, AT LAST, THEY WERE COMPLETE, WE FELT LIKE KINGS THEN, AS THE SUN DISAPPEARED... AS THE SUN DISAPPEARED, WE WOULD ALVIN: Merry Christmas, Tom, from the Kelbys. THOMAS: (slaps notebook) THEN, AS THE SUN DISAPPEARED ALVIN: Please, write! THOMAS: AS THE SUN DISAPPEARED AS THE SUN DISAPPEARED AS THE SUN DISAPPEARED AS THE SUN DISAPPEARED AS THE SUN... I JUST NEED SOMETHING DOWN ON THIS PAPER STILL NOTHING THERE! NOTHING... (bitter laugh) Who's story is this? ALVIN: We are gathered to honor the life- THOMAS: (starts overlapping at Alvin's 'gathered') We are gathered here to honor the life- THOMAS AND ALVIN: -of Alvin Kelby! THOMAS: NOTHING THERE! ALVIN: WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW, TOM THOMAS: WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW, TOM WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW THE WORLD MUST KEEP MOVING AND CHANGING SO FAST ALVIN: IT'S RARE THAT YOU NOTICE A MOMENT; THE MOMENT, IT'S HURRYING BY! THOMAS: THE TRICK IS IN KEEPING THE PAST IN THE PAST ALVIN: If a stupid, squashable bug can have that kind of power, what about us? THOMAS: WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO BE MORE THAN JUST THAT WEIRD KELBY KID? ALVIN: I KNEW MY MOTHER'S ROBE, BUT, SOMEHOW, I'D FORGOTTEN HER THOMAS: WORDS HAVE NO POWER TO CHANGE WHAT IS DESTINED TO DIE ALVIN: May I drop down dead in my tracks and rot! THOMAS: I GUESS WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY, NOW THAT WE HAVE A MINUTE, IS THAT, LATELY, YOU'RE ASKING FOR MORE THAN I'M ABLE TO GIVE ALVIN: Look up from your page, Tom! THOMAS: HE TURNED INTO SOMEONE I'M NOT SURE I KNOW ALVIN: MONEY AND PRIZES ARE FINE CONSOLATION- THOMAS: SOME FRIENDSHIPS CONTINUE AND, SOME, YOU OUTGROW ALVIN: YOU'RE AMAZING, TOM- THOMAS: HAVE BIRTHDAYS AND CHRISTMAS A TOKEN HELLO ALVIN: I'm gonna miss you. THOMAS: 'TILL THE LAST TIME WE SAY ALVIN: Goodbye, Tom. THOMAS: HIS FATHER PASSED AWAY I LEFT HIM HERE ALONE [Thanks to Mephistopheles for lyrics]
