Maybe Happy Ending <Musical Preview> by Maybe Happy Ending the Musical

CLAIRE:
Okay?

OLIVER:
Okay.
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.
See? We’re being smart.

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 ELSE,
WE FELL IN LOVE,
NOT KNOWING WE COULD FALL –
IS THIS A TRAGIC ENDING?

CLAIRE:
NOT AT ALL.

OLIVER & CLAIRE:
AND MAYBE WE’LL MEET AGAIN SOMETIME

OLIVER:
SOME TIME WHEN WE’RE BETTER AT PRETENDING.

OLIVER & CLAIRE:
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,

OLIVER & CLAIRE:
IF WE HAVE TO HAVE AN ENDING.

OLIVER:
IS THIS OUR MAYBE HAPPY ENDING?

OLIVER & CLAIRE:
(spoken)
We’ll see.
