'You told me you’d hold me until you died, ’til you died, but you’re still alive.' There’s such sadness in saying “You oughta know” to someone who no longer has any interest in knowing; he or she has moved on and certainly without a hint of a forwarding address.

Sometimes these characters were secondary roles like the two couples in The Wild Party (2000) or the manager of the Four Seasons in Jersey Boys (2006).
