Hi, I'm Angel

[COLLINS]
Tom. Collins

[PAUL]
I'm Paul. Let's begin

[ALL]
There's only us
There's only this ...
[MARK]
Sorry ... Excuse me ... oops

[PAUL]
And you are?

[MARK]
Oh -- I'm not --
I'm just here to --
I don't have --
I'm here with --
Um -- Mark
Mark -- I'm Mark
Well -- this is quite an operation

[PAUL]
Sit down Mark
We'll continue the affirmation

[ALL]
Forget regret or life is yours to miss

[GORDON]
Excuse me Paul -- I'm having a problem with this
This credo -- My T-cells are low --
I regret that news, okay?
[PAUL]
Alright
But Gordon - How do you feel today?

[GORDON]
What do you mean?

[PAUL]
How do you feel today?

[GORDON]
Okay

[PAUL]
Is that all?

[GORDON]
Best I've felt all year

[PAUL]
Then why choose fear?

[GORDON]
I'm a New Yorker!
Fear's my life!
Look - I find some of what you teach suspect
Because I'm used to relying on intellect
But I try to open up to what I don't know
[GORDON & ROGER]
Because reason says I should have died
Three years ago

[ALL]
No other road
No other way
No day but today
