DIANA Take your relationship length, or RL First year of RL is worth six month’s recovery The second year is worth exactly half that.
MARCIE (laughs)
DIANA Now don’t you laugh at this brilliant discovery Each year is worth one half the lack of worth the year before was worth Your aches and pains will soon diminish. So rebound time, RT Is the fraction of the year it takes for pain to disappear. You go through RT and then finish. Your RT is important, And it really can’t be shortened. No matter you do, don’t even try
MARCIE What if I…?
DIANA So you can date around But then those guys will just be rebound men That’s what rebound time is all about! And it’s as simple as that.
MARCIE So I give it time Then find the one I’m gonna go out and I’ll get him Once my rebound time is done. I have his picture in my mind, It’s as clear as black and white. He’ll be everything I’ve ever dreamed of. I’m gonna find Mr. Right. Yes?
DIANA No. We still need to figure out your rebound time. You following me so far?
MARCIE Yes… No.
DIANA Some factors can make a relationship feel long Like how right the break up felt Or the way that things went wrong. If you ask me, It’s plain to see That there are three things to consider When it’s all to be configurated Your RL. It can change. I know it may sound strange, But what matters is how long it feels like you dated. Your new RL We’ll call it adjusted RL Or just ARL. And it’s the ARL that changes with: One- what number boyfriend was he? Was it low or was it high? Also known as the number boyfriend index or the NBI This matters, it does. And it’s four divided by three plus the number boyfriend that he was. Two- the who broke up with whom concept. The WBUWWC- you with me? If he dumped you, you multiply by five fourths. If you dumped him, you multiply by three fourths. And number three: The bitterness factor Rate the bitterness of the breakup on the scale of one to ten You take that number, divide by point five and then you get the BF. And it’s as simple as that!
MARCIE So what’s my rebound time?
DIANA Well, you actually dated for two years, he was your twenty-seventh boyfriend, based on how you’re reacting to the breakup, I’d say the bitterness was about a 5… So it’s like you dated for a year!
MARCIE (gasp) You know, it felt like that!
DIANA Exactly! Putting your rebound time at six months. Officially.
MARCIE Isn’t that what I said five minutes ago?
DIANA But now it’s proven.
MARCIE So I’ll give it time Begin to heal Once I’m done with rebound time It’s time to bring on someone real We’ll think all the same thoughts And we’ll never ever fight He’ll be everything I’ve ever dreamed of I’m gonna find Mr. Right
DIANA Yeah, actually, ah…
MARCIE What?
DIANA Well, it’s not that simple Some of my friends got their perfect man, But just before they got him They dated the worst man possible They hit boyfriend rock bottom.
MARCIE So in order to find my perfect man, I’ve need find someone who’s perfectly wrong! I’m in New York, that shouldn’t take too long.
DIANA You’ve gotta find Mr. Wrong while you’re in RT Or you’ll repeat this cycle forever, Just like me.
MARCIE I’ll give it time But first I have to find someone Who’s flawed, structured, and boring He’ll have warts of every kind. I’ll give it time But then meet Mr. Rebound In time…
I’ll give it time Otherwise I’ll be sure To go back to the cycle that I’ve cycled through before. I’m sure it won’t be pleasant, But I’ll stand strong To find Mr. Right
DIANA (in counterpoint) You bet you will Don’t blow it. When I was in my rebound time, I blew it and I knew it. I blew it God I blew it I blew it and I knew it. Super warty! Warty, warty, warty, warty, warty, warty, warty, warty, warty, warty, warty, warty He’ll have a bump Live in a dump Be such a chump That if you hump you’ll need a penis-pump
You’re gonna give it time Otherwise you’ll be sure to go back to the cycle that you’ve cycled through before But you’ll stand strong And I swear I will be there No matter where Because I care We are a pair And we will share The wear and tear
MARCIE & DIANA In the next six months I/You’re gonna find Mr. Wrong.
