"We lose things. And then we choose things. And there are Louies. And there are Georges... well, Louies and George." Gets me every single time, in a way I can't really explain.
It is a piercing line that shatters George's pretensions and self defense. George chose to be this way. He sacrificed his personal life for his art. He says it himself in , which according to Sondheim, the first time they performed it they had to sweep the other actors off the stage (because it was added in quite late, so that was the first time everyone else heard it). Funnily enough, Sondheim is rather good at writing these piercing songs; After he wrote Company, a musical about marriage, the lead Dean Jones quit because he realized his own marriage was falling apart.
Fun fact - James Lapine's grandfather was a baker named Louis, and he didn't even know it until after the show opened; which may be why he chose a baker as a major character in his next show with Sondheim.
"Hello, George... where did you go, George?" gets stuck in my head so often. I love her, I love her voice, she's so talented, agh.
