Schadenfreude


Gary:
Right now you are down and out
And feelin' really crappy

Nikki:
I'll say

Gary:
And when I see how sad you are,
It sorta makes me happy

Nikki:
Happy?

Gary:
Sorry Nikki
Human nature-
Nothing I can do
It's Schadenfreude
Making me feel glad that I'm not you

Nikki:
Now that's not very nice Gary

Gary:
I didn't say it was nice,
But everybody does it
‘Dya ever clap when a waitress falls
And drops a tray of glasses?

Nikki:
Yea

Gary:
And ain't it fun to watch figure skaters
Fallin' on their asses?

Nikki:
Sure

Gary:
Don't you feel all warm and cozy
Watching people out in the rain?

Nikki:
You bet

Gary:
That's

Both:
Schadenfreude

Gary:
People taking pleasure in your pain

Nikki:
Oh Schadenfreude, huh? What's that? Some kind of Nazi word?

Gary:
Yup It's German for ‘happiness at the misfortune of others'

Nikki:
‘Happiness at the misfortune of others'
That is German!
Watching a vegetarian
Being told she just ate chicken

Gary:
Or watching a frat boy
Realize just what he put his dick in

Nikki:
Being on an elevator when somebody
Shouts ‘Hold the door!'

Gary:
Oh yea!

Both:
No!
Schadenfreude…

Gary:
Fuck you lady!
That's what stairs are for!

Nikki:
Ooh- How about:
Straight A student's getting B's…

Gary:
Exes getting STDs…

Nikki:
Waking doormen from their naps…

Gary:
Watching tourists reading maps…

Nikki:
Football players getting tackled…

Gary:
CEOs getting shackled…

Nikki:
Watching actors never reach…

Both:
The ending of their Oscar speech!
Schadenfreude!
Schadenfreude!
Schadenfreude!
Schadenfreude!

Gary:
The world needs people like you and me
Who've been knocked around by fate
‘Cause when people see us
They don't want to be us
And that makes them feel great

Nikki:
Sure
We provide a vital service to society

Both:
You and me!
Schadenfreude
Making the world a better place
Making the world a better place
Making the world a better place to be!

Gary:
S-C-H-A-D-E-N-F-R-E-U-D-E!
