## Lyrics

**Matthew**

*(spoken) Hey, Mom, can I talk to you real quick?*

**Matthew's Mom**

*(spoken) What is it, sweetheart?*

**Matthew**

*(spoken) The entire mock trial team is out there.*

**Matthew's Mom**

*(spoken) I know! I know, I'm so excited, sweetheart.*

**Matthew**

*(spoken) I know. It's just that, I'm looking at the table right now. I just want to be the one to tell you...*

That dish is a risk.

That dish is a risk.

You don't know how it's gonna end up, with this,

Because that dish is a risk.

**Both**

That dish is a risk.

**Matthew's Mom**

*(spoken) No.*

**Both**

That dish is a risk.

**Matthew**

Like, even more so than an exotic fish,

That dish is a risk.

**Matthew's Mom**

Matthew, don't you worry!

Don't worry your little head.

I have all types of dishes,

Even safe, safe garlic bread.

If someone wants to venture out

And have a salad with quinoa,

Who am I to not broaden their horizons?

Let their horizons be broad!

**Both**

That dish is a risk.

That dish is a risk.

**Matthew**

You wouldn't serve it after a potluck or a bris.

Why? Because—

**Both**

It's a risk.

**Matthew**

And even the garlic bread

Has a little adventurous flair.

**Matthew's Mom**

*(spoken) What?*

**Matthew**

I see some unorthodox herbs

On the side over there!

**Matthew's Mom**

It's just a little bit of parsley!

**Matthew**

Why would you do that on a—

**Matthew's Mom**

It brightens the whole thing up!

**Matthew**

No, I don't think it does.

**Matthew's Mom**

We gotta push these kids, Matthew,

That's what's up!

**Matthew**

No we don't.

**Both**

That dish is a risk.

**Matthew**

They are children!

**Matthew's Mom**

That dish is a risk.

**Matthew**

That dish is a risk.

That dish is a risk.

**Matthew's Mom**

It's not a risk.

One Kind of Genius

"One Kind of Genius" is a song featured in *We Object to Fear: LIVE!*. Spencer is trying to explain to his friend Alicia that she is indeed a genius, but she remains unconvinced.

## Lyrics

**Spencer**

*(spoken) Alicia, I think you may not realize that you're a genius.*

**Alicia**

 *(spoken) What do you mean? C'mon.*

**Spencer**

*(spoken) I mean, everything you do in your kind of day-to-day life is like genius-level intelligence, and I don't think you just—you just don't know that. I assumed you knew that you were a genius. Do you not know that you're a genius?*

**Alicia**

*(spoken) No, I mean, like, I know I'm, like, smart. But genius? That's like—that's like people who, like—*

Clean up MIT and then

They solve a big, hard math problem

That guy is a genius

People who grow up in Southie

And don't even go to college

That guy's a genius

**Spencer**

I guess that's one kind of genius

One specific kind of genius

There are other kinds of genius too

That's just one kind of genius

A specific kind of genius

A different kind of genius are you

**Alicia**

I've never even had a crush with

Someone who I thought was smarter

But then I proved myself

(And drove across the country for her)

I've never even had a widower

Open up to me on a park bench about his dead wife

**Spencer**

That's the same specific genius

You've seen one kind of genius

We all know what you're taking about

That's just one example of a genius

One Matt Damon genius

There are other kinds of genius, no doubt

**Alicia**

*(spoken) I don't know...*

Am I smart, I suppose, yes, that's true

And with big ideas I can grapple

But never have I gotten in a bar fight in Cambridge

And said

**Both**

"How do you like them apples?"

That's just one kind of genius

One kind of genius

**Spencer**

The only kind of genius you know

There are other kinds of genius

Your different kind of genius

**Alicia**

I'm not being humble, so you know

I promise that's the kind of genius

I am not fronting

I only know of geniuses from *Good—*

**Both**

*—Will Hunting*

**Spencer**

*(spoken) Oh, Alicia.*
Falcon in the Dive

"Falcon in the Dive" is a song from *Adults Don't Know*. Jess takes a stab at singing "Falcon in the Dive" from *The Scarlet Pimpernel* without remembering how the song goes.

## Lyrics

**Jess**

You thought you could run away.

You thought that somehow you could thrive.

You were out there but the whole time I prepared my dive.

And when I see your face again,

You will hear my call.

Hurrah hurrah hurrah!

You will answer to us all.

And when I see you I will hold you in my talons.

I am like a raptor and you are like a felon.

A felon who committed a crime,

A crime that I will now take the pay for.

Hah, hah, hah, one and all!

For when a falcon

**Zach**

When a falcon

**Jess**

Makes its dive

**Zach**

Makes its dive

**Jess**

You know its prey is in its sights.

**Both**

For when a falcon makes its dive

**Jess**

You know the prey is in its sights.

And my vision is like an eagle.

My nose, it smells like a beagle.

I've been hunting you, Pimpernel.

**Zach**

The Scarlet Pimpernel!

**Jess**

None of your disguises

Offer any surprises.

I've been hunting you, Pimpernel.

**Both**

When a falcon makes its dive

When a falcon makes its dive

**Jess**

Its prey, that's you, I have you

Right within my sight

**Both**

When the falcon makes

**Jess**

Makes his dive!

Looking at Clouds

"Looking at Clouds" is a song featured in *We Object to Fear: LIVE!*. Mock trial pretrial attorney Xander and his unnamed pretrial friend are trying to describe the shapes of clouds that pass by above.

## Lyrics

**Pretrial Friend**

*(spoken) Oh, look at that cloud!*

**Xander**

*(spoken) Whoa! What does it look like to you?*

**Pretrial Friend**

*(spoken) Oh my gosh. I kind of think, well...*

I think it looks like a narwhal,

But the end of its horn has a flower

Instead of a horn.

**Xander**

I think it looks like a dolphin,

With a flat face, and a horn—

Oh no, I'm thinking narwhal.

And there's a flower at the end of the horn.

Too.

**Both**

Looking at clouds. Looking at clouds.

**Pretrial Friend**

What about that one?

**Xander**

Oh, that one? Hmmm...

I think it looks like a horse,

Like a tiny horse that's very small,

And it's pulling what looks like Santa's sleigh,

But Santa is a flower.

**Pretrial Friend**

I think it looks like a reindeer

Pulling Santa's sleigh,

But it started to zoom back to the narwhal,

So now it has the flower!

**Both**

Looking at clouds. Looking at clouds.

**Xander**

*(spoken) Oooh, what about that one? Oh wait, can I go first?*

**Pretrial Friend**

*(spoken) Yeah.*

**Xander**

*(spoken) Okay.*

That one looks like a—

Hmm...some metal, spherical shape

Going through the sky,

But instead of spherical, it has wings,

Oh, that's not a cloud,

That's an airplane. Okay.

I see what I did there.

I saw a plane and I thought it was a cloud.

But it isn't a cloud, it's a plane,

And I'm embarrassed.

We're supposed to be—

**Both**

Looking at clouds. Looking at clouds.

**Pretrial Friend**

*(spoken) Ooh, look!*

**Xander**

*(spoken) Whoa!*

**Pretrial Friend**

*(spoken) Whoa!*

That one looks like a bust of Beethoven.

Except, it's more like Bach.

**Xander**

And instead of a bust,

It has arms and legs, and a torso.

I guess it kinda just—

**Both**

Looks like Bach!

Looking at clouds. Looking at clouds...
