House Guest
Mouse guest

There's a phone in my pocket, dear henry, dear henry, there's a phone in my pocket, dear henry, a phone.

I want to call someone, dear henry, dear henry. I want to call someone, dear henry, but who?

Why don't you call the exterminator, the exterminator, the exterminator, why don't you call the exterminator, dear liza, please do.

Oh no, but I love my mouse guest, my mouse guest, my mouse guest, oh no, but I love my mouse guest, dear henry, I do.

Then why don't you marry him, oh marry him, oh ...

How do you know it's a him, Henry? Oh blast it all, whatever, k?

Fine, but I'm not marrying a mouse. It was a joke, liza. Well what else is a joke, Henry, are my feelings a joke

Stop.

What is happening in this scene? Why are they arguing? Are they trying to make the world a better place for each other? Let's return to a more productive line of conversation.

This mouse overheard the argument above her, him, and they. Yes, it was a whole mouse family. Liza had only ever noticed one at a time, but it seemed like today Henry had begun to feel irritated at even one mouse.

The mice knew that they had to leave. They had loved liza, too, but Henry was toxic, and they couldn't be there themselves. Liza would have to either leave him or suffer, but they couldn't be drawn into her whirlpool of suffering.
