The View UpStairs Original Off-Broadway Cast
Completely Overdone
[INEZ, spoken]
Ay Dios mio. This is amazing. I have never seen such a beautiful pink. What is this called?
[FREDDY, spoken]
Damsel
[INEZ]
It's modest and sweet, and it glows on your face
You look like a girl blessed with god-given grace
Not like other women, with their legs spread every which way!
You remind me of me on my wedding day
[FREDDY, spoken]
Oh god. Mama! That is not the look I'm going for
[INEZ, spoken]
It's a good look
[FREDDY, spoken]
Yeah, but where's the drama, mama?
[INEZ, spoken]
Drama? Okay. How about...
(sung)
I pencil your eyebrows like Lupe Velez
With lashes as long as Maria Montez
Elegant ladies, who light up the silver screen
[FREDDY]
That isn't the drama I mean!
(spoken)
Ow! What the hell?
[INEZ, spoken]
Beauty comes with pain
[FREDDY, spoken]
I've had enough pain for one day, okay?
[INEZ]
I always dreamed I would make a good mother
I prayed for this moment to be
God answered my prayer, but why is it fair
My son looks better in makeup than me?
[FREDDY, spoken]
Can I look already?
I look so... mature
[INEZ, spoken]
And what is wrong with that?
[FREDDY, spoken]
I was thinking more like sexy streetwalker, hooker...
No, that's not what I meant
[INEZ, spoken]
No, I understand. This world is full of stupid men, and you want to look like a stupid woman
It's okay, que se yo? Solamente te parió, sangano malcriado
[FREDDY, spoken]
I heard that!
[INEZ, spoken]
I said nothing. Fine. We'll try it your way
(sung)
So let's paint your lips with a cardinal red
I hoped for a lady, but it's bimbo instead
Your taste in women makes god and the virgin mother weep
Here you go – sexy and cheap!
(spoken)
Okay. We're done?
[FREDDY, spoken]
Done, yes. But what is the look we are going for, mama?
[INEZ]
A clown in a gown or a two dollar whore
[FREDDY, WES & PATRICK]
A whore!
[INEZ]
Why wear less makeup?
[INEZ & FREDDY]
You can always use more!
[INEZ]
Wasting my favorite rouge
On my favorite son!
[FREDDY]
On your favorite son!
[INEZ]
And now you look –
[FREDDY]
Completely overdone
[WES]
This dress
[PATRICK]
Completely overdone
[INEZ, FREDDY, WES & PATRICK]
Completely overdone
(spoken)
Hurry up, you've got five minutes
[FREDDY, spoken]
I can't tuck in five minutes!
[INEZ, spoken]
Don't worry, Freddy, I'll help you
[FREDDY, spoken]
Don't help me with that!
