Genuinely not a single soul will ever understand how strongly I obsess over the last line of Franklin Shepard Inc
Like… in one preview it ended with him sarcastically saying “we had a good thing going- Inc!”
LIKE DOES THAT NOT FEEL SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE ONE WE HAVE NOW
It also works so well because (this was cut from early previews, but) people criticize Frank for “only writing one song” (Good Thing Going)
Because in the world, for Frank Good Thing Going is what Send in the Clowns is for a Little Night Music
It’s like the most impactful most wonderful song ever, and if you’ve heard of this show/person in any capacity it will most likely be through this song
And the fact that Frank kinda sorta kinda defiantly just left his music career behind lowkey… this defining song he wrote might as well be the ONLY thing he wrote
Yes so anyways
Just imagine Charley bout to start seizing on the floor with anger… or sm.. and he ends the damn song with this sarcastically happily tonned “We had a good thing going!”
Not even sung, just fully spoken
Like I cannot overstate how much I love this version
