At night is boisterous with celebration at the Moulin Rouge. The new and
old Moulin rouge crew celebrates with drinks and partying.
Christian drinks quietly as he pretends to listen to Zidler who is talking his ear off with a slurred drunken speech, laughing at points. But then he stares out to his nephew William who sits alone seemingly nor sad or happy.
Mirabelle, who's mane is down in a slight waves form her recent hairdo, notices this too but decides to walk over to him; William 's attention is caught immediately as she takes a seat beside.
\\MIRABELLE\\
Why aren't you joining the party?
\\WILLIAM\\
I don't drink.
\\MIRABELLE\\
Neither do I but the occasion calls for it doesn't it?
\\WILLIAM\\
I suppose.
\\MIRABELLE\\
Then just have a little like me.
She offers him her small glass of absinthe; William takes it politely. He sips it but gives a weird reaction to it, causing Mirabelle to giggle.
\\MIRABELLE (smiling)\\
Don't worry, that was my first reaction too.
William smiles back.
\\MIRABELLE\\
I don't believe I ever had the pleasure of knowing your name?
\\WILLIAM\\
William.
\\MIRABELLE\\
Nice English name; can I call you Will?
William stares away as he tries to get used to the absinthe.
\\WILLIAM\\
If you want.
Mirabelle's smile soon fades as she tries to figure out what to say.
\\MIRABELLE\\
What you said earlier.
William stares back at her.
\\MIRABELLE\\
It was sweet of you.how did you know what my name meant?
\\WILLIAM\\
I had studied meanings of names; I was fascinated by it.
\\MIRABELLE\\
So it wasn't a 'come on'?
William can't help but smile dazzlingly.
\\WILLIAM\\
No I'm afraid it wasn't, I just saw the opportunity when said your name was silly.
\\MIRABELLE (grinning)\\
I guess you proved me wrong, then.
They stare at he each other for the longest time. Gazing into each other's eyes for what seems like forever.
Mirabelle diverts her stare and looks down before looking back up.
\\MIRABELLE\\
Well, enjoy your drink.
She gets up.
\\WILLIAM\\
Thanks.
She smiles but walks away.
Christian now takes notice of his nephew watching every step of Mirabelle's as she leaves the premises of the stage and out a door.
Mirabelle heads out to the glittering Elephant, the dressing of Satine. Stares up at it curiously. She walks forth and enters inside.
She makes it to the red bedroom. The walls are a deep scarlet color and a bed covered in the same deep scarlet was on one side of the room; on the other side was a small table. To Mirabelle, the room looks like it was once glittering and shiny but now is dark and dusty.
She walks past the table and bed, and finds a small balcony. She ambles out onto it also noticing, on either side, is a set gold stairs.
She gazes upon the stars and full moon; a small wind brushes past her face as she embraces it with her face, her eyes closed. She opens them slowly.
\\MIRABELLE (singing softly)\\
I look back on my life, wondering where my dreams had gone astray, astray from me. The sun is down, but it still shines on me! My song sings stridently now, dreams sweepin' my heart up high!
She walks about a little.
\\MIRABELLE\\
I can take on the world! Nothing can stop me now! I was the fallen angel, now with sprouted wings. Ready to conquer all! Never did I dream. That pride could open the gate. The gate to fame! It seems so perfect. Seems too good to be true. But tonight I dance.
She twirls around.
\\MIRABELLE\\
Dancin' the night away! Wanna live this till the end. Till the end! I can take on the world! Nothing can stop me now! I was the fallen angel, now with sprouted wings. Ready to conquer all! Oh yeah! Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
She continues to sing as she walks the left stairwell up to the top.
\\MIRABELLE\\
Every step I take, I'll take with pride. I've waited patiently. For this day.I am soaring high now. To Heaven's Skies!
She makes it up to the roof, having a small canopy behind her, in her graceful stance her arms out in pride.
\\MIRABELLE\\
I can take on the world! Nothing can stop me now! I was the fallen angel, now with sprouted wings. Ready to conquer all! Finally sprouted my wings! Yeah, eyeah! I'm ready to fly! Ohh yeahh! I am a star sparkling the brightest.
She lowers her arms and quiets her voice as if she is missing something.
\\MIRABELLE\\
But I shine alone; shining alone.Love is caged by the barrier of pride. I used its wings, and let it fall. I can take on the world. Nothing can stop me now. I was the fallen angel, now with sprouted wings. Ready to conquer all. But is it all what it seems.(Wrote the song all by my lonesome self; seriously I did)
She quiets down as she further gazes up at the luminous moon and sparkling stars.
Not even knowing William is watching her, intently, from below.
\\CHRISTIAN\\
William!
William stares forward, glance sat Mirabelle once more, and walks away. But also another, Russell, watches but in sadistic stalking way.
