Clark
(spoken) Bro,
Sorry we got defensive.
We put up our defenses
But now we're tearing them down
Like old rickety fences.
I'm sorry we got defensive...
Spencer
(overlapping) Defensive
Clark
Put up all our fences,
Bringing it all down
'Cause it's the end of the year.
We were governed by fear.
Both
We were governed by fear.
Spencer
And that doesn't make us closer,
It's incredibly clear
That you can't be governed by fear.
Xander
Hey, pretrial friend.
It's time to let you walk away.
I can't be scared of the unknown.
And all of this starts today!
Although I do feel much better
When I wake up and you're very near,
It's occurring to me now...
Xander and Pretrial Friend
You can't be governed by fear.
Alicia
And if I put my hand...
And your hand was also there...
Matthew
(spoken) What?
Alicia
Is that the kind of thing you would like?
Or would you feel self-conscious of your arm hair?
Matthew
I'D LIKE THAT A LOT.
Alicia
And if we say that we can't wait for fall in a year,
Will you promise me you won't be...
Both
Governed by fear?
Matthew's Mom
And you have to make all the dishes you like,
You can't think about if the kids will try them.
No, your destiny is clear.
You can't be governed...
Matthew's Dad
It's me, your husband. Hello, I'm here.
Everything you've done in this living room
Is genius, and it's clear
That you never were, and you—
Both
Never will be governed by fear!
