"Sherri & Mary"

SHERRI: THAT'S VERY NICE OF YOU
I WOULDN'T HAVE EXPECTED YOU
TO GIVE UP YOUR SEAT
I WOULD DO THE SAME FOR YOU AND YOU

You can't judge a book by its cover.

I'M THE GOOD SAMARITAN
I GO OUT OF MY WAY
THEY'RE TIRED AND THEY WORK ALL DAY

ESPECIALLY IN OAKLAND
IT'S ALWAYS QUITE JAMMED PACKED
IT ALWAYS TAKES FOREVER AND
YOU CAN SEE THEY'RE TIRED

I LOOK FOR SOMEONE WHO
LOOKS ESPECIALLY TIRED OR
JUST LIKE THEY CAN'T
THEY CAN'T...

THEY'RE HOLDING BAGS
LIKE THEY'RE JUST AT THEIR LAST
LAST BIT OF ENERGY

I'M THE GOOD SAMARITAN
I GO OUT OF MY WAY
THEY'RE TIRED AND THEY WORK ALL DAY

I WORKED AT KANE HOSPITAL IN MCKEEPSPORT
IT'S A COUNTY HOSPITAL FOR THE ELDERLY

MARY: I SERVED LUNCH AND DINNER AT THE HOSPITAL

SHERRI: I WORKED AT ALLEGHENY VALLEY SCHOOL
WITH KIDS AND ADULTS ALIKE

MARY: AT THE HOSPITAL I SERVED LUNCH AND DINNER

SHERRI: JUST MAKE A CONNECTION CAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW

MARY: YOU MEET DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND
YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW
IT COULD BE A REALLY RICH PERSON!

SHERRI: THEY STAY TO THEMSELVES
THEY ISOLATE THEMSELVES
SO WHEN THEY'RE ONE THE BUS
IT'S THEIR SOCIAL TIME!

MARY: REMEMBER IT WAS ON THE NEWS:
The nurse that got the $100 tip!

SHERRI: IT'S MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY EXHAUSTING
GOD ALWAYS PUTS SOMEONE THERE

MARY: THERE WAS A MAN
I'm a nurse, too, right?

SHERRI: I'M FORCED TO TALK TO SOMEBODY
EVEN WHEN I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT
AND THEN I'M USUALLY GLAD I DID
CAUSE IT MAKES ME FEEL BETTER
GETS ME OUT OF MYSELF
AND IT NEVER FAILS

MARY: AND HE DIDN'T SHOWER!
And I was like, "Sir, it's like this:
YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO EAT IF YOU DON'T SHOWER
YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO EAT IF YOU DON'T SHOWER
AND SIR, YOU ARE AROUND OTHER PEOPLE
SIR, I'M YOUR NURSE
I CAN GIVE YOU A SHOWER
You'll feel good
YOU'LL EAT BETTER."

I SAID "SIR, YOU'RE A MAN
YOU DON'T WANT TO DIE AND GO TO HEAVEN STINKIN'!"
Nah!

I GAVE HIM A WHIRLPOOL AND
MASSAGED HIM WITH LOTION AND STUFF

YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO EAT IF YOU DON'T SHOWER
YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO EAT IF YOU DON'T SHOWER
AND SIR, YOU ARE AROUND OTHER PEOPLE
SIR, I'M YOUR NURSE
I CAN GIVE YOU A SHOWER
GET A SHOWER!
YOU'LL FEEL BETTER!
YOU ARE SOMEBODY!
YOU'LL EAT BETTER!
YOU ARE HUMAN!
