[SALLY] That's my new philosophy: "Oh, yeah? That's what you think!"
[SCHROEDER] Well, why are you telling me?
[SALLY] What?
[SCHROEDER] Why are you telling me?
[SALLY] "Why are you telling me?" I like it! That's a good philosophy: "Why are you telling me?" Why are you telling me?"
"Why are you telling me?" My new philosophy The teacher gave a "D" on last week's homework She said, "Miss Sally Brown, Your grades are going down." I could have told her-
[SCHROEDER] You new philosophy?
[SALLY] My new philosophy! [as teacher] Miss B? [as herself] I'm she
Look see. A "D?" A "D." Well, why are telling me? And that's my new philosophy!

[SALLY] Why are you telling me? My new philosophy!
[SCHROEDER] That's great, Sally, but I've gotta go practive Chopin's Nocturne in B-Flat minor.
[SALLY] No!! I like it! "No!" That's a good philosophy. "No!" "No!" "No!"
[SCHROEDER] That's you new philosophy, huh?
[SALLY] Yes. I mean-- "No!" Just like a bust bee Each new philosophy Can fly from tree to tree and keep me moving When life's a dizzy maze On alternating days I choose a different phrase-
[SCHROEDER] Your new philosophy?
[SALLY] My new philosophy!
[SCHROEDER] Sally! Some philosophies are simple: "Man does not eat by bread alone." Some philosophies are clear:
[SALLY] "Leave your message at the sound of the tone."
[BOTH] Some philosophies pick and choose Deciding what goes in it.
[SCHROEDER] Some take a lifetime,
[SALLY] Mine take a minute.
[SCHROEDER] But, Sally, anything that takes only a minute can't be very lasting. For instance, Beethoven took over two years to complete his brilliant Ninth SYmphony.
[SALLY] "No!"
[SCHROEDER] I can't stand it!
[SALLY] "I can't stand it!" I like it! It's like a gurantee. My new philosophy. And things are sure to be a whole ot brighter "Oh, yeah? That's what you think!" "Why are you telling me?" "No!" "I can't stand it!" Now life is free and easy, Much more philosophy-zy, With my brand new-
You know, someone had said that we should live every day as if it were the last day of our life.
[LUCY (passing by and overhearing)] Aaugh! This is the last day!! This is it!! I only have twenty-four hours left!! Help me! Help me! This is the last day!! Aaugh!
[SALLY] Clearly, some philosophies aren't for all people. And that's my new philosophy!
