Frank Shepard: We'll be singing it like the birds,
Me with music and you the words

Johanna Barker: Wait, what kind of bird? A green finch? A linnet bird? A nightingale? A blackbird? A ringdove? A robinet?

Frank: Uh, I don't know all the different kinds of birds. A lark maybe?

Johanna: Oh, well then you better make sure not to become trapped, or you won't be able to sing. Larks never will you know, when they're captive.

Charley Kringas: Yeah, we better not get trapped in some exploitative contract with a big Hollywood studio.

So Mary falls in love with Frank and can’t find anyone else? She’s just going to be a martyr while Charley and Beth keep popping out kids? #NeverLookBack #MerrilyWeRollAlong #AllTheThingsSheSaid #HeatedMerrily

SOOOO… I bet you’ll beat me to this, but … I’m planning a fanedit of #HeatedRivalry x #MerrilyWeRollAlong - at first, because it was that both shows were about love and choices we make personally and professionally… Then I realized both have time jumps too.
