Henry Krieger
Buddy’s Confession
[JAKE, to Buddy]
If you hurt her
I will hunt you down

[TERRY, spoken]
What was that all about?

[DAISY]
He loves her
He truly does

[TERRY, spoken]
What?!

[BUDDY]
He's right, Violet
You deserve better

[TERRY]
Buddy!

[BUDDY]
I've tried
But I'm playing a part
I've tried
And it's breaking my heart
[VIOLET]
You don't love me?

[BUDDY]
I do, Violet
But not the way you want
I'm not that strong of a man

[VIOLET]
But you're the man I love

[BUDDY]
You should be loved
By someone like Jake
Somebody strong
Who's able to take
Whatever comes along

Sharing life with two
Is more than I can do
If only I'd known it before
Loving you is more
Than I bargained for
