Maybe Happy Ending Review Song List Plot Summary Broadway Musical

Why did we bother to try love?
Why did we foolishly stop to say hello
Instead of going our ways?

But your heart was free
And mine was on my sleeve
Were we brave?
Or were we just naïve?

So tell me, why love?
When all things end in goodbye, love?
Why did we dream that this fate would not be ours
When even stars up above
Ask where their glow went
Love lasts one moment
And then that final task
To sigh and ask
Why love?

[OLIVER, spoken]
Let’s see what’s happening in the world

[RADIO, spoken]
At a high of 68, with four days of rain behind it
The yellow sand conditions have cleared
So leave that mask at home
It’s the perfect day for outdoor activities

[OLIVER, spoken]
It’s a perfect day to look out the window

[OLIVER]
Today the air in Seoul is very clear and warm
Today the smiles, too, are warmer than the norm
Though the change is not profound
There’s a specialness going around
Let’s enjoy the day

A friendly morning chat to start a perfect week
But I don’t need a chat to make my day unique
Just the sun that warms my chair
Is sufficient to make me declare
Let’s enjoy the day

Watching from the window as the morning crowds appear
Picturing the places they are going
Soon the rush is over and the sidewalk starts to clear
Then I start my day
In here

The world within my room
The perfect place to explore from
I never need more from
The world within my room
I choose a book and I read it
A place to recharge when I need it
And it’s all within my room

[OLIVER, spoken]
Let’s see what’s happening in the world

[RADIO, spoken]

Today, not rain nor sun, but something in between
Today, the same old view, today, the same routine
But we’ll choose the perfect tune
And remember that James will come soon
So let’s enjoy the day

The world within my room
With all the things that I own here
I’m never alone here
Busy, happy room
No need for thrills or updating
It’s perfectly perfect for waiting

And to wait’s not tough here
‘Cause I have enough here
In the world within my room

[CLAIRE]
It’s the way that it always was
You should know by now
You should know by now
The body does what it always does
Things’ll break somehow
You should know by now

You know you only last so long
You know you’re only made so well
And you’ll be gone eventually
‘Cause that’s the way that it has to be

Time goes by like it has to go

But who says endings must be sad?
Who says goodbyes aren’t just routine?
Seems like a normal thing to me

[CLAIRE & RETIRED HELPERBOTS]
‘Cause that’s the way that it has to be

[CLAIRE]
When that final moment comes
I’ll say, “Hi,” and shake its hand
Be polite and let it in
But if I’m still hеre for now
I know how to live
Don’t resist thе way things are
Don’t forget how good it’s been

It’s the way that it always was

[CLAIRE & RETIRED HELPERBOTS]
It’ll be okay
It’ll be okay

[CLAIRE]
A robot does what she always does

[CLAIRE & RETIRED HELPERBOTS]

It’ll be okay

[CLAIRE]
You know you’re stronger than you think
You know you’re made to take a lot
And if it doesn’t come for free

I find him in his reading chair
When he looks up and sees I’m there
He stands in wonder
He chokes up as he says my name
Explaining why he never came to me
I hug him

I tell him I’ve been busy too
So everything’s okay
He’s proud to see how strong I am
And then at last I hear him say

[JAMES & OLIVER]
Go put the tea on, Oliver
It’s you and me now, Oliver
Finally, just like it was long ago
And then some music, Oliver
I’ll let you choose it, Oliver
Gladly, but first I want you to know
This is where you belong

[OLIVER]
La, la-la, la, la, la, la-la-la
La, la-la, la, la, la

I notice that this magazine
Was dusty, so I made it clean
Again, you’rе welcome
For me, thе most amazing gift
Is seeing your expression shift to joy
When I help you

The morning wash is finished
And the post has all been sent
Now let me know if something else
Could help me make you more content

[JAMES]
How much I owe you, Oliver
I need you so much, Oliver
Thank you
Someday I’ll pay you in kind
Now light the fire, dear Oliver
How I admire that, Oliver
That know-how, and as you work, keep in mind
This is where you belong

[JAMES, OLIVER]
La, la-la, la, la, la, la-la-la (La, la, la, la)
La, la-la, la, la, la (La, la, la)

[JAMES & OLIVER]
And when other joys have passed away
You will still be here to guide me
Tomorrow, just as true as yesterday
You will be here, you will stay
Always here beside me

You are my anchor, Oliver
How can I thank you, Oliver, fully
For all the days that you spend
Time can’t erase, dear Oliver
That you’ve a place here, Oliver, always
You have a home and a friend
This is where you belong
This is where you belong
This is where you belong

[OLIVER]
This is where you belong
La, la-la, la, la, la, la-la-la
La, la-la, la, la, la

[CLAIRE, spoken]
Fireflies are a special type of insect
That used to be almost everywhere
But can now only be found in one forest, on Jeju Island
There’s a complex chemical reaction in their abdomen
That is not found in other insects
Because of this chemical process
They can produce light by themselves
Without ever being plugged in!

[OLIVER, spoken]
Little forest robots!

[CLAIRE, spoken]
They only live for two months
But what a beautiful two months

[OLIVER, spoken]
What if the car breaks down?
What if we break down?
What if they catch us and erase our hard drives?

[CLAIRE, spoken]
So you’re coming

[OLIVER, spoken]
When did I say I’m coming?

[CLAIRE, spoken]
Great, let’s start packing

[OLIVER, spoken]
I don’t—
It’s not—
We can’t—
How did—
We’re going to Jeju

[CLAIRE]
Dig out my suitcase
Brush off the layer of dust

[OLIVER]
Pack up my life here
And then it’s Jeju or bust

[OLIVER]
Hope the car fits a lot

[CLAIRE & OLIVER]
‘Cause now I’m hitting the road

[OLIVER]
My books and albums
My expectations and fears

This might even be fun

I’m finally hitting the road

And no matter where and how far you drive
People say you’re different when you arrive
Underneath an unfamiliar sky
Will my old concerns no longer apply?

Pick up my suitcase
It’s got a decade of heft

[CLAIRE]
Go make it count, now
Enjoy the time you have left

[CLAIRE & OLIVER]
Here I go

[OLIVER]
Tell me I’ll be okay

[CLAIRE]
By the end of today

[CLAIRE & OLIVER]
I’m finally hitting the road

[CLAIRE, spoken]
Be ready with all your stuff at midnight, tonight

[OLIVER, spoken]
Are you bringing music?
We could alternate your music and my music, if you want, but frankly, I know more about music, so

[CLAIRE, spoken]
I’m sure we’ll figure it out
See you soon

[OLIVER, spoken]
Here’s the playlist so far— I’m still working on it

I’ll Remember April, I’ve Got You Under My Skin
It’s just a rough list at this point
See you in a few hours

[OLIVER, spoken]
Have you said your goodbyes yet, HwaBoon?
We’ll be living with James from now on
So, take one last look

[OLIVER]
Goodbye, my room
I’ll miss every part of you
Your concrete and wood
The faded patch of carpet
Where I stood
Bright busy mornings
And long afternoons
In your warm embrace
No mere place
You were my room
Goodbye, my room

[CLAIRE]
Goodbye, my room
If I don’t return to you
It’s now au revoir
While I’m gone
Please stay the way you are
On some distant highway
I’ll think back to you
As the evening falls
These four walls
My faithful room
Goodbyе, my room

And keeping the cold night at bay
You saw everything, the days I was lonely
It was only you who held me

[OLIVER]
Goodbye, my room
I’ll keep every part of you
Here in my mind
So I won’t be leaving you behind

[CLAIRE & OLIVER]
Loyal companion
Your sweet imperfections
All make it clear
I was here
Here in my room
So long, my room

Goodbye, my room

I’m feeling not at all scared

I’ve got the charger

[CLAIRE & OLIVER]
And I know

[OLIVER]
Now there’s no turning back

[CLAIRE]
How much shit did you pack?

[CLAIRE & OLIVER]
We’re finally hitting the road

And the trip might not turn out as I planned

It’s not a chance I can miss

[CLAIRE & OLIVER]
Here we go

[OLIVER]
No more doors are ajar

[CLAIRE]
Now I’m starting the car

[CLAIRE & OLIVER]
And now we’re hitting the road
Let’s go

[OLIVER, spoken]
So, where did we meet?

[CLAIRE, spoken]
On the street?

[OLIVER, spoken]
Yes, it was a rainy day
You forgot your umbrella, so you ran under mine

[CLAIRE, spoken]
I initiated this?

[OLIVER, spoken]
The rain made us feel melancholy, but also romantic, as we walked on the rainy streets of—

[CLAIRE, spoken]
Paris

[OLIVER]
New York set the perfect mood on the day we met

[OLIVER]
The patter of rain and somewhere, a jazz quartet

[CLAIRE, spoken]
They were playing in the rain?

[OLIVER, spoken]
They were inside

[CLAIRE, spoken]
So we were inside?

[OLIVER, spoken]
We were outside

[OLIVER]
My umbrella could handle two
I even kept your shoulder dry
And since we both were shy
We barely spoke at all

[CLAIRE, spoken]
Did you get this from a movie?

[OLIVER]
You wore a bright red raincoat that magic day

[CLAIRE]
No way would I choose red for a raincoat

[OLIVER]
Your beautiful red fur hat took my breath away

[CLAIRE]
And now you’re just describing Santa

[OLIVER]
The crowded and noisy streets
Were silent except our beating hearts
It’s all those quiet parts
You later can’t forget
One little rainy day

[CLAIRE & OLIVER]
The rainy day we met

[OLIVER, spoken]
Your turn

[CLAIRE]
You stared at your feet, too nervous to say one word

[OLIVER, spoken]
Well, what could I have said in that situation?

[CLAIRE]
Our beautiful silence started to feel absurd

[OLIVER, spoken]
But I did offer you the umbr–

[CLAIRE, spoken]
You just said it was my turn

[CLAIRE]
So then in a breathless rush
We both started talking awkwardly

[CLAIRE & OLIVER, spoken]
So where are y—
How long have y—
Why don’t you go fir—

[CLAIRE]
We laughed so hard that we forgot our socks were wet

[CLAIRE & OLIVER]
All on a rainy day
The rainy day we met

[OLIVER]
That old-timey band
When I first held your hand
And we danced in the subway

[CLAIRE]
The buses we missed
On the first night we kissed
On that street in Paris

[OLIVER]
New York

[CLAIRE]
Paris

[OLIVER]
New York

[CLAIRE, spoken]
Oh my God

[OLIVER]
The moment our game demanded a name
And love’s what we called it

[CLAIRE]
The morning we tried waking up side by side
And knew it was meant to be

[OLIVER]
It seems to me

[CLAIRE & OLIVER]
The crowded and noisy world
Was silent except our beating hearts
It’s all those quiet parts
You later can’t forget
Thanks to one rainy day
The rainy day we met
Anyway, that’s how we met

[GIL BRENTLEY]
We wanted to keep the whole thing under wraps
You might’ve observed something fishy, perhaps
And wondered what it means
Now get ready to spill the beans

I love Jenny
And it’s time you knew
I love Jenny
And Jenny’s in love with me, too
There might be many
Rainy days ahead
But I’m with Jenny
So you’ll see me smiling instead

With every stranger I meet
I want to stop them in the street
And be completely indiscretе
I know it isn’t nice to brag, but secrets arе a drag

Incredible, beautiful, loveable Jenny
I’m the guy she chose
I love Jenny
And I’ll swear to it
I don’t care if it shows
‘Cause now everyone knows

[CLAIRE]
So here we are, in some motel
Trying to do what neither of us does well
We have to not be alone
I’m cringing less, I’m laughing more
As I forget the stranger you were before
We’re slowly getting in sync
And I’m beginning to think

It’s not so bad discovering how this works
Adjusting to your quirks
Even though it’s not my style
Teach me to not be alone

It’s not so hard to let somebody in
Just think how long it’s been
Since somebody made you smile
Learn how to not be alone

And by tomorrow
It seems absurd, but do you suppose
That you and I might wake up to find we’re pros
At being not alone

[OLIVER, spoken]
Hey, I’m thinking of switching it up tomorrow
So instead of late swing era, it’d be more post-bop, Birth of the Cool kinds of tracks

Describing his LPs
Or conversing with his plant
It takes work to not be alone

But I’m improving
And do I sense a change in you?
A little hint that you might be learning too
How to be not alone

The open road, a vast unknown
But look at us, we’re not alone

[OLIVER, spoken]
It should be an hour and a half to the ferry, then three hours across the sea
And then

[CLAIRE, spoken]
And then we’re in Jeju

[OLIVER]
We’re getting closer
I smell the salt in the air

[CLAIRE]
Will he be wounded?
And is it my job to care?

That person looks like—
They all look like James

Not all humans look alike, Oliver, that’s offensive

Can I help you? Can I help you? Can I help you?

Jeju Island

[CLAIRE]
Everything must end eventually
Living with people has taught this to me

I was brand new and naive
Looking for what to believe in
When I first saw them kiss
I chose to believe in this

Picture his eyes as he listens and laughs
Picture her joy when she holds his hand
As they planned and they dreamed
How magical living seemed
Every whisper and each caress
Nonetheless, everything must еnd eventually

I didn’t see it at first
Nothing had changed on thе surface
But when he said her name
I knew something was not the same

Picture the light fading out of his eyes
Picture her hand falling out of his
Though it isn’t so strange
It hurts watching people change
He was still standing next to her
But they were alone

Living with people has taught this to me

I can hear the wind blowing through the pines
See the glow of a fire on the riverside
Little kids chasing fireflies
I guess it must be summertime

I can hear the wind blowing through the pines

I guess it must be summertime

Blinking alone in the night

Please never fly away, little friend

I’m not a sentimental person
That’s what they always told me
Don’t need someone to hold me
I’d rather stand apart

I’m not a sentimental person
It’s not what I’m designed for
Can’t say I’ve ever pined for
Someone to break my heart

So why does the moon seem brighter?
And my feet much lighter?
And the breeze electrifying?

Waves whisper as they flow by
It’s as if they know why
Feel like crying

Do they know? Do you know?
If I’m a sentimental person
It’s all because you found me
I change when you’re around me
So darling, could it be true
That you’re a sentimental person, too?

Seeing how you frown when you get impatient
Helping you hold on to a moment that made you happy
Hoping that you’ll think what I say is right
Wanting you to laugh at my unintended charm

When you’re in love, you’re never satisfied

Making little plans that I know will make you happy
Hoping when I tease that you’ll put up a fight

So now, should we end it?

[OLIVER]
I’m ready if you are

[CLAIRE & OLIVER]
Maybe just one more day

[CLAIRE, OLIVER, & GIL BRENTLEY]
When the glaciers are gone
And the Earth starts to slow

[GIL BRENTLEY]
Then I can let you go
Then I can let you go

[OLIVER, spoken]
HwaBoon!
It’s been so long since it was just the two of us
It’s like that first week she borrowed my charger, remember that? Haha

[OLIVER]
Today the air in Seoul is very clear and warm
Today the sunlight too, is warmer than the norm
And it shines on every spot
Where Claire was but where now Claire is not

[OLIVER, spoken]
HwaBoon, I told you to stop thinking about her
First, people pretend to move on
And then, if they pretend hard enough, it becomes true
So, on three, we’ll think about something elsе, okay?
Ready? One, two, three

[OLIVER]
My little room, shе changed every part of you
And now what you were disappears in memories of her
Once I could sit here
Content just with you and my favorite plant
Now I can’t, my lonely room

[CLAIRE, OLIVER]
Everywhere
The walls and my broken chair (Why)
Only recall (Can’t I)
The dear annoying robot down the hall (Not let go?)

Teach me forgetting
Help me go back to that other time
But even time
Reminds me that I’m in love

[OLIVER]
The ending’s not the most important part
But as endings go, ours is not so bad
No tears, no regret, no broken heart
And sure, no memories of what we had
But maybe letting go and moving on
Before we make a mess
Is that a happy ending?
More or less

[CLAIRE]
Those sunny afternoons you spent with me
They’ll still be happening, just somewhere in the past
Each simple moment was a luxury
They’re not less valuable just ’cause they didn’t last

[OLIVER]
And if nothing еlse, we fell in lovе
Not knowing we could fall—
Is that a tragic ending?

[CLAIRE]
Not at all

[OLIVER & CLAIRE]
And maybe we’ll meet again sometime

Sometime, when we’re better at pretending

[CLAIRE & OLIVER]
And maybe we’ll meet again somewhere
Somewhere things don’t have to have an ending

[OLIVER]
You held my hand
You taught me love
And then you set me free

[CLAIRE]
That’s not such an awful ending

[CLAIRE & OLIVER]
If we have to have an ending

[OLIVER]
Is this our maybe happy ending?

[CLAIRE & OLIVER, spoken]
We’ll see

[GIL BRENTLEY]
Why love?
Why did we bother to try love?
Why did we foolishly stop to say hello
Instead of going our way?

But your heart was free
And mine was on my sleeve
Were we brave or were we just naive?

So tell me, why love?
When all things end in goodbye, love?
Why did we dream that this fate would not be ours?
When even stars up above—

[CLAIRE, spoken]
How long have you been living here?
I’ve been living here for 12 years, 7 months, 21 days
It’s funny that we’ve been living across the hall and have never met

[OLIVER, spoken]
The 5 Series runs out of battery really quickly
Helperbot Inc. changed the charger when they released the 5 Series for its sleeker, more fashionable design
But the charger ended up losing durability
It’s a well-known fact that the 3 Sеries still has the best durability among Hеlperbots
At the same time, the 5 Series has some impressive features of its own
Such as the ability to drive, and more comfort with improvisation
8 percent?

[CLAIRE, spoken]
8 percent!
Do you think it’ll be okay?

[OLIVER, spoken]
I hope so
