Isn't this nice? Everybody's being so nice Nothing is wrong, trouble's half passed Everybody civil and getting along Will it last? You should open a restaurant, dad! Maybe I will No matter how well things are going It always takes a turn No matter how happy we seem There's always a turn Just below the pleasant chatter, we're aware Of a steady burn that'll flair We push it down But then we take the turn We always take the turn The inevitable turn Roll? We fight against the turn We struggle with the turn The inevitable turn Hey, Debra If you're looking for work, they're hiring at Costco I hear the pay is not bad Huh, I should look into that Thanks for thinking of me, Buddy Any time Isn't this sweet? Everybody's being so sweet Look at us swerve, all on our guard Everybody's hoping not to take the curve We're trying so hard And if you do get a job, you can finally pay me back No matter how lovely the evening It always takes a turn No matter how careful we are There's always a turn And despite the friendly banter, we're annoyed By a topic we should learn to avoid We never do Instead we take the turn (we take) Of course we take the turn (we take) The inevitable turn So when you say pay you back- Debra! I meant for the stereo you stole Stole? You agreed to give me that stereo You guys! It's all going fine, then it changes so fast A look, a joke, a slight from the past Which will burn Pass the salt, sling the mud Carve the meat, draw the blood We had a deal, Buddy Take the turn You promised to give me that stereo If I went next door and slapped Swicky around Debra! The Showchoir begins to sing ooh's underneath the dialogue Wait, what? Which I went to do! It's not my fault it didn't happen! You hired Debra to beat up Mr. Swicky? Well I couldn't do it myself, he's my neighbor! This is exactly what I don't wanna know! He did some awful things, Kim It wasn't just him Ms. Denton said she saw a masked intruder crawl in his window Did you wear a mask? Yes, a pig mask A pig mask? I didn't wanna be identified and you told me to scare him I didn't tell you to kill him! I didn't know he had a weak heart! He just took one look at me and dropped dead! You were wearing a pig mask! If a pig lady crawled in my window, I'd drop dead too! That's why we left Lodi, because you stared Swicky to death? The showchoir stops singing I should've never told you! None of this would've even happened, Buddy If you had never known Known what? I really wanted another baby Patti- But I was scared She doesn't wanna know Scared it would be like me? So she made sure it wouldn't be You had sex with Mr. Swicky So dad hired Aunt Debra to beat him up But Aunt Debra killed him instead What is wrong with you people?! The adults all break out into an argument as Kim slowly leaves the table No matter how well things are going It always takes No matter how happy we seem There's always With just a blow of the wind With a steady burn, with a steady burn Oh! We take the turn Oh, we take the turn Do you ever stop?! Kim? Oh my God What's happening? Buddy, help her! Kimmy?!
