“I saw you writing in that book again…” Original Broadway Cast of Violet (Ft. Joshua Henry & Sutton Foster)

[FLICK, spoken]
I saw you writing in that book again. 

[VIOLET, spoken]
I write down what I wanna remember. 

[FLICK, spoken]
You write down me?

[VIOLET, spoken]
Well, yeah. Even before I knew you; playing solitaire on the bus, how you drop cards when you deal them, like a turtle laying eggs. Plop, plop, plop. You know, I never knew a "negro" to talk to before; we don't see too many in the mountains. You're like a foreigner to me. 

[FLICK, spoken]
Is that what you see when you look at me?

[VIOLET, spoken]
Well, I see a man, I guess. 

[FLICK, spoken]
That's all I am, Violet. Just like anyone. Put that in your book. 

[VIOLET, spoken]
No, I mean a man, like a grown-up. Like my father. Confident, no-nonsense. I don't know about the name though. Flick? Where'd you pick that up?

[FLICK, spoken]
Reform school.
