[Scene six: The Elephant]
*The Bohemians stand out side looking up at the elephant building*
Kurt: Unbelievable! Straight to the elephant.
Colossus: *sniffs* its cold out here...
Gambit: and I see spiders.... I no like spiders.
Kurt: hey guys! *everyone stares at Kurt* wanna go check up on our friend Christian?
Colossus: you mean... look in to the room?
Gambit: isn't chrere a prostitute?
Lance: all right! We get to watch them do...
Kurt: don't even think about saying what I think your about to say! Now lets go, I got some handy mountaineering rope...
(while in side the Elephant)
Wanda: This is a wonderful place for poetry reading don't you think, hmm? Poetic enough for you?
Todd: Yes
Wanda: A little supper? Maybe some champagne?
Todd: I'd rather just um . . . get it over and done with.
Wanda (a bit irritated): Oh . . . very well . . . then why don't you come down here and let's get it over and done with?
Todd: I'd prefer to do it standing.
Wanda (speechless and suprised): Oh! Okay...
Todd: You don't have to stand I mean. Sometimes . . . it's quite long. And I--I'd like you to be comfortable. It's quite modern what I do and it may feel a little strange at first but--but I think if you're open then--then you might enjoy it.
Wanda: I'm sure I will
Todd: Excuse me. The sky is
*Wanda moans*
Todd: Is ugh blue--birds--oh-- (blows raspberries) come on (blows raspberries) come on (blows raspberries) I think...
Wanda: okay I so wish I didn't have to do this *moans*
Todd: I think the mountains . . . might be shaking . . . Oh Tik-e-tik-e-tik- e
Wanda: Um . . . is everything all right?
Todd: I'm just a little nervous . . . It's just that sometimes it takes a while for uh . . .
Wanda: Ohhhh . . .
Todd: For you know . . . inspiration to come.
Wanda: oh god I am so going to kill Abbie after this.... Oh yes, yes, yes. Let mommy help, hmm? (Grabs his crotch) Does that inspire you? Let's make love! (Pulls him onto the bed)
Todd: Make love?
Wanda: You want to, don't you? Truthfully I don't... sorry I know not on the script
Todd: Well I-I . . . came to . . .
Wanda: Hmm, tell the truth. Feel the poetry . . . come on . . . feel it . . . free the tiger! *GROWL*
Todd: Ohhh . . . must... resist!
Wanda: Oh . . . big boy!
Kurt (spying in the window; tells the bohos): He's got a huge talent!
Colossus: ew! I hope you don't mean what I think you mean...
Wanda: Yes I need your poetry now!
*Todd gets up quickly and stands by the balcony*
Christian: ok... It's a little bit funny . . .
Wanda: What?
Todd: This f-feeling in-inside. I'm not one of those who can-who can easily hide. Is this-is this okay? Is this what you want?
Wanda: Oh poetry, yes, yes, yes this is what I want, naughty words. Ohh .
Todd: I-I don't have much money, but if I did I'd buy us a big house
where we both could live . . .
Wanda: Oh yes, yes . . . Oh yes . . .
Todd: If I were a sculptor, but then again no. Or a man who makes potions for a travelling show.
Wanda (rolling around in a furry blanket on the floor): Oh . . . oh . . . no . . . no . . . don't stop . . .
*Pietro off stage*
Pietro: oh my gosh... I don't belive my sister is doing this...
Todd: (stares for about a minute before being poked with a stick off stage, then gives Wanda a dirty look like she's crazy and then continues earnestly) I know it's not much but . . .
Wanda: Give me more, yes . . . yes . . . YES!!!
Todd: But it's the best I could do.
Wanda: NAUGHTY! DON'T STOP YES, YES, YES!!!!
Todd *sings loudly*: MY GIFT IS MY SONG...
(Wanda immediately stops her antics and looks at him in awed silence)
Todd singing: And this one's for you. And you can tell everybody that this is your song. It may be quite simple but now that it's done. I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind. That I put down in words. How wonderful life is now your in the world. Sat on the roof and I kicked of the moss. Well, some of these verses, well they, they've got me quite cross. But the sun's been kind, while I wrote this song. It's for people like you that keep it turned on.
*Wanda looks at him with this knowing look as he smiles at her*
Todd sings: So excuse my forgetting but these things I do. You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue. And well the things is, what I really mean. Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen!
*The two go into a fantasy sequence and start dancing on the sky and the
roof of the Moulin Rouge as the Moon sings to them*
Abbie: *sighs* I wish I had a picture of Wanda and Todd doing that... opps! Sorry you lot are singing *disserpears*
Todd sings: And you can tell everybody that this is your song. It may be quite simple but now that it's done. Hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words. How wonderful life is now you're in the world. Hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words, how wonderful life is now you're in the world!
*Fantasy sequence ends and they're actually dancing in the elephant and he
dips her in his embrace*
Wanda: Oh, I can't believe it. I'm in love. I'm in love with a young, handsome talented mutant named Todd... I mean Duke! Duke...
Todd: huh Duke?
Wanda: Oh . . . not that the title's important of course.
Todd: I'm not a Duke
Wanda: Not a Duke?
Todd: I'm a writer.
Wanda (disgusted): A writer?
Todd: Yes, a writer... I'm guessing this is one of those things I should never mention when a chick falls for ya. Right?
