[Scene 12: come what may]
*Outside, Todd is still waiting for Wanda in his flat.*
Todd: dude... I feel as though I've been stood up.
Abbie: *off stage* AWWWWW!
Dolly: oh shut it Abbie. *Squirts Abbir with water pistol*
*cuts to Todd writing the story.*
Todd: Harold Zidler's brilliant lies had once again averted disaster.
*Todd looks out his window at the ruined Moulin Rouge in sepia tones.*
Todd: But no lie, however brilliant, could save Satine.
* Colossus is meeting with Pyro. Storm watches.*
Colossus: Monsieur Zidler, Mamselle Satine is dying. She has consumption.
Pyro: My little sparrow is dying?
Pyro: She mustn't know, Marie. The show must go on.
Storm: well if I was dying and I didn't know I sure would like to know, but your the boss.
*Day turns to night; push in to Todd's flat in the sunlight. Todd is typing. Wanda is sitting on the bed.*
Todd: *typing* All night, the penniless sitar player had waited, and now, for the first time, he felt the cold stab of jealousy.
*Wanda coughs; Todd looks over at her.*
Todd: Where were you last night?
Wanda: I was down at the pub with Logan getting drunk and some reason Angel was singing like a virgin with Pyro...
Todd: no! I mean in the play...
Wanda: OH! Sorry... I told you, I was sick.
*Todd walks over and sits on the edge of the bed. He reaches out to take Wanda's hand, but she turns away, moving to sit on the opposite edge with her back to Todd*
Todd: You don't have to lie to me.
Wanda: We have to end it. Everyone knows. Harold knows. My Brother knows. The drunk blind man who sits out side knows. Sooner or later the Duke will find out too.
*Todd looks away.*
Wanda: On opening night, I have to sleep with the Duke... WHAT! I wasn't told about this?
Abbie: *off stage* I have an electric cattle prod and I'm not afraid to use it!
Wanda: heh sorry sticking to script now...and the jealousy will drive you mad.
*Wanda gets up and walks over to the window. After a beat Todd gets up too, and walks across the other side of the room, putting down the paper he was holding. Wanda turns back towards the room.*
Wanda: Christian.
*But Todd has gone out onto the balcony, and appears behind her. Wanda turns to face him, and he takes her face in his hands.*
Todd: Then I'll write a song, and—and we'll put it in the show, and no matter how bad things get. . .
Wanda: Christian. . .
Todd: ...or whatever happens. . .
Wanda: ...No...
Todd: ...whenever you hear it, or when you sing it, or whistle it, or hum it, well then you'll know. . .
*Todd kisses Wanda on the forehead.*
Todd:...it'll mean— it'll mean that we love one another. I won't get jealous.
Wanda: Things don't work that way, Christian.
*Wanda turns away from Todd and walks back into the room.*
Wanda: We have to end it.
*Wanda crosses to the other side of the balcony. She and Todd look at each other through the 'L'Amour' sign. Wanda turns away.*
Todd Singing: Never knew I could feel like this, Like I've never seen the sky before. Want to vanish inside your kiss...
*Wanda pauses, her back to Todd. From the look in her eyes, we see that once again Todd has won her over with his poetry, against her better judgement. In the Moulin Rouge main hall, Todd is addressing the cast at a rehearsal. There is now a stage, with the proscenium arch being built over it, and the actors have a few bits of costume on.*
Amara: YAY! Hi Mommy! I'm gonna be famous!
Jean: you wish...
Ray: come on guys quiet down! The Toad guy is about to say something...
Abbie: yeah... very in to character Ray.
Todd: Now, uh, this new scene is the scene where the, uh, sitar payer writes a secret song for the courtesan, so that whatever is happening, what—however bad things are, th-they remember their love. And, um, we could take it from your line Satine, so let's take it, let's take it.
*Onstage, Wanda turns to the Gambit.*
Wanda-as-Hindu-Courtesan: We must be careful.
Gambit-as-Penniless-Sitar-Player: Fear not: we will conduct our love affair right under the maharajah's...
Todd sings: *Aside, to Wanda.* Seasons may change, winter to spring. . .
*Gambit collapses, unconscious.*
Pyro: Honestly amigo, this is impossible!
Todd sings: *Aside, to Wanda*...But I love you until the end of time...
*Todd and Wanda are standing on the balcony outside his flat, looking off into the distance.*
Todd sings: Come what may...
*Wanda turns towards Todd.*
Todd sings:...Come what may...I will love you until my dying day.
*Todd and Wanda are standing on a hill; Wanda is on a picnic with Duncan and Todd is along to carry the basket. Wanda and Todd only have eyes for each other, but Duncan doesn't seem to notice.*
Todd and Wanda sings: Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place. . .
Duncan: My dear! A little frog!
Wanda: *looks in to Todds eyes, looking dreamy* he isn't really that little...
Todd and Wanda sings: Suddenly it moves...
*cuts to Todd and Wanda at the rehearsal.*
Todd and Wanda sings:...with such a perfect grace...
*Back to the picnic. Duncan stomps on the frog, killing it.*
Kitty: *off stage* Hey! Leave that poor frog alone!
Todd and Wanda sings: Suddenly my life. . .
*At the rehearsal.*
Todd and Wanda sings:...doesn't seem such a waste, It all revolves around you.
*Kurt is learning his lines, with Todd and Wanda in the background.*
Todd and Wanda sings: And there's no mountain too high. . .
*Todd's flat. Todd and Wanda, undressed, sit on the bed, looking over the script.*
Dolly: NUDY SCENE!
Todd and Wanda sings:...no river too wide...
*Todd and Wanda stand in the window of Todd's Flat naked, a sheet draped round them.*
Wanda: mmm... warm. ^_^
Pietro: EW! Too much information!
*Pietro gets shocked by Abbie with electric cattle prod*
Todd and Wanda sings:...Sing out this song...
*Todd's flat. Todd, standing, reads his poetry to Wanda, who's lying on the bed.*
Todd and Wanda:...and I'll be there by your side.
*At the rehearsal.*
Todd and Wanda sings: Storm clouds may gather, and stars may collide...
Todd sings: But I love you...
Wanda sings: I love you...
Todd sings: ...till the end...
Wanda sings: ...until the end...
Todd and Wanda sings: Of time.
*Duncan watches the rehearsal. X23 stands behind him.*
Todd and Wanda sings: Come what may, come what may, I will love you...
*Lance plays the piano. Backstage, Wanda starts gasping for breath. Todd writes the play in his flat. Backstage, Wanda continues gasping for breath. Lance writes the score. Todd helping Kurt learn his lines. Wanda watches.*
Todd: The magical sitar player falls from the roof and says: 'the greatest thing you'll ever learn... is just to love and be loved in return.'
*Todd looks at Wanda, who smiles back at him.*
Wanda: *sighs* what a cutie...
*Back to the rehearsal. Duncan watches, and X23 comes up behind him.*
X23: This ending's silly. Why would the courtesan go for the penniless writer? Whoops! I mean sitar player.
*Duncan looks at Todd. Zoom in on the Duncan's face as he realises.*
Duncan: oh bummer...
Cast, Wanda, Todd, Dolly and Abbie sings: Come what may...
*Onstage, the song is reaching the end. Kurt, wearing the beginnings of his magical sitar costume, comes out of the doors at the back of the stage. Wanda, wearing the Hindu Courtesan's head-dress, and Gambit are in the centre of the stage, surrounded by dancers.*
Evan: *prances about* La la la... *Abbie shocks him with electric cattle prod*
Wanda-as-Hindu-Courtesan and Gambit-as-Penniless-Sitar-Player sings: I will love you...
*X23 goes back to sit down, looking pleased with herself.*
X23: heh, I got the best part... being mean ^_^
Cast sings: Come what may...
*The Cast rises up and moves in towards Wanda and Gambit, who turn towards each other.*
Wanda-as-Hindu-Courtesan and Gambit-as-Penniless-Sitar-Player sings: Yes, I will love you...
*Pyro, wearing the evil maharajah's turban cries huge fake sobs.*
Pyro: WAHHH! *sobs*
Cast: Come what may...
*Colossus and Lance play in the orchestra. Duncan watches with rising anger.*
Duncan: Urge to kill... Rising...
Wanda-as-Hindu-Courtesan and Gambit-as-Penniless-Sitar-Player sings: I will love you till my dying day.
*The Cast turns to face the front; Wanda and Gambit join hands and face the front, raising their other arm into the air. Todd, watching with script in hand, sings and acts along. The song ends, and ALL turn to Duncan for his reaction.*
Duncan: I don't like this ending.
