[scene 16: no songs here]
Backstage, Kurt and Gambit are walking up the stairs on the set.
Kurt: I know she still loves him, there's got to be a reason.
Gambit: personally Gambit thinks she should dump The Duke, the writer and go out with Gambit...
Abbie: Oh come on Gambit! Don't you go do a Roberto! Where is that guy any ways?...
under the stage, Roberto is wearing a mask and is playing the keyboard
Roberto: soon my love, we will be together... but first I Roberto, the Phantom of the Moulin Rouge will play a tune on this keyboard...
Roberto starts playing 'Twinkle Twinkle little star' very badly on the keyboard
Gambit: ARGH! What's that sound?, anyway... How about one of them is a Duke, and the other...
Gambit passes out and falls down the stairs.
Gambit: Gambit thinks his part of falling asleep all the time sucks.
Kurt: Not noticing that Gambit has fallen asleep Oh, then you agree something is wrong. But what? But what?
Gambit falls through the trap door at the bottom of the stairs, and lands in front of Todd.
Todd: whoa, I wonder if this guy is insured?
Todd then smiles as he gets an idea.
Onstage, the backdrop is now a temple. Pyro as the Evil Maharajah is alone except for some Dancers.
Rahne: when do we stop dancing? My feet are killing me...
Logan: how the heck did I end up in a dress?
Kitty: to Logan EW! Girl, you need a make over...
Pyro-as-Evil-Maharajah: I raise high my ceremonial wedding sword. . .
Backstage, Todd, wearing the jacket from Gambit's Penniless Sitar Player costume, climbs out from under the set.
Todd: oh how pretty do I look people
Pyro-as-Evil-Maharajah: . . .and welcome my loyal subjects to join with us... Blah, blah, blah...
Facade: this is very intriguing, wot, wot?
Callisto: indeed it is...
Warren: would one of you fellow rich audience want a very rich cigar?
Callisto: indeed I would...
Dolly: OI! YOU! NO SMOKING!
Warren: how rude! Oh well let us posh people enjoy the show...
Onstage, Pyro continues.
Pyro-as-Evil-Maharajah: . . .in celebration. . .
Backstage, Wanda coughs blood into a handkerchief.
Wanda: ICKY! continues to cough
Todd runs along a corridor. While onstage, Pyro continues.
Pyro-as-Evil-Maharajah: . . .of our sacred. . .
Backstage, Kurt, with a green tint, is watching.
Kurt: What a magnificent performance, now if only this place sold popcorn Hint, hint?
Storm is helping Wanda inhale medicine from a small silver vial.
Storm: A little bit more for me. Come on, lovely. That's a girl.
Wanda: you would have thought, since I was dying I would be spending my last moments in bed instead of working...
Todd continues down the corridor.
Pyro is now offstage, and Sabertooth goes up to him.
Sabertooth: The boy's here.
Pyro: who? Harry potter?
Sabertooth: no
Pyro: the muffin boy?
Sabertooth: no...
Pyro: Oliver Twist?
Sabertooth: no its...
Pyro: NO! I can do this! Lemme guess uh... Spike?
Sabertooth: NO!
Pyro: all right, no need to bite my head off, sheeash, is it Bob?
Sabertooth: no... wait a minute whos Bob?
Pyro: you know... Bob. Oh come on everyone knows Bob...
Sabertooth: well I don't, who is he?
Pyro: he's your Mum
Sabertooth gives a look that he was gonna kill our beloved Pyro
Abbie Pyro fans: NO KILLING PYRO!
Sabertooth: Grrr... Christian is here
Pyro: ooooh! I would have never guessed it.
Kurt is watching from the wings.
Kurt: oh this looks interesting.
Pyro: realises the danger I told Satine that if Christian were to come here that he would be killed!
Sabertooth: He very soon will be.
Todd steps into the doorway of Wanda's dressing-room. Wanda sees him reflected in the mirror and spins around in shock. Todd walks towards her. Wanda steps back.
Wanda: no Touchies!
As Pyro moves away, Kurt looks up.
Kurt: He'll be killed? That's it, that's why she's pushing him away, to save him. That's it, that's it. Christian! I have something to tell yooou!
But as Kurt turns to warn Todd, the platform he is standing on is suddenly raised in the air.
Kurt: No! Oh God, oh God, bad time for comic relief! this is high up!
Kurt whimpers
Kurt: I want my Mommy...
Mystique: On stage. not now son, Mommy is dancing!
In Wanda's dressing-room, Todd stands in front of Wanda.
Todd: I've come to pay my bill.
Wanda: You shouldn't be here, Christian. You should be away... Faaaaar away.
Wanda brushes past Todd and walks out the door.
Wanda: heres the door and theres another door leading outside: use them.
Todd turns and follows her.
Kurt makes his way through the rafters above the stage.
Kurt: Killed. Killed? Killed! Isn't this film a PG?!
Abbie: nope its a 13
Kurt: oh, well that explains a lot...
Wanda rushes down the corridor, gasping.
Kurt continues along the rafters.
Kurt: I must warn him! If I don't there will be a messy mess in the building...
Wanda runs along the corridor, Todd following. He grabs her and turns her to face him.
Todd: You made me believe that you loved me. Why shouldn't I pay you?
Wanda: Please, Christian.
Storm appears behind them.
Storm: She's got to get on the stage!
Onstage, Pyro is giving a speech.
Pyro-as-Evil-Maharajah: Jealousy has driven the sitar player into hiding! Mwah!
Wanda starts up the steps to the stage, with Todd close behind.
Todd: Why not? You did your job so very, very well. Ever thought about going in to acting?
Storm goes up behind the Pietro who is sending out dancers.
Pietro: Persian army, go!
Storm: The boy's taken Satine, quick!
Pietro: WHAT!? After the fiend! If he's making out with my sister I swear, I'm telling Mom!
Wanda reaches the top of the steps, gasping for breath.
Wanda: we REALLY need an elevator...
Todd: Why can't I pay you like everyone else does?
Wanda: Don't Christian, there's no point. Just leave.
Dolly: if I was Wanda, I'd take the money so he would leave and if I was still alive, I'd spend it later on Jelly beans and pixie stixs
Wanda continues towards the doors to the stage. Todd follows.
Kurt moves along the rafters above Wanda.
Kurt: They'll kill him, the poor boy!
Onstage, Pyro continues his speech.
Cybelle: does he ever finish?
Fury: Hush! He is continuing, wot, wot...
Pyro-as-Evil-Maharajah: But I have found them!
Pietro runs after Todd and Wanda. He points at Jamie.
Pietro: Stop him, stop him, stop him!
Jamie grabs Todd. Todd throws him off and continues.
Jamie: OWIE!!!
Dolly: Don't worry Jamie love! I'm here for you!
Jamie: uh... lucky me...
Dolly: hugs Jamie as he looks embarrassed
Pietro: Get up, get up boy!
Jamie: I HAVE A NAME!
Dolly: Jamie Love
Jamie: yes... with out the love part.
Wanda sees Sabertooth pointing the gun around the corner and screams. She turns to Todd, putting herself between him and Sabertooth.
Wanda: Go!
Todd: If it wasn't real. . .
Wanda: Go!
Todd: . . .then why can't I pay you?
Wanda: what does the word 'Go' means to you?
Pyro-as-Evil-Maharajah: Let the palace doors be opened!
Kurt sees Sabertooth moving towards Todd and Wanda.
Kurt: Christian! Christian!
Onstage, Pyro repeats his command.
Pyro-as-Evil-Maharajah: Open the doors!
Backstage, Wanda desperately tries to shield Todd from Sabertooth as she sees him moving towards them.
Todd: Let me pay! Let me pay!
Onstage, Pyro now hisses his command to Ray in the wings.
Pyro-as-Evil-Maharajah: Open the doors!
Ray runs to open the doors.
Ray: sings I've got a job to do... so don't try and stop meeeeeee!
Wanda is now kneeling on the floor as Todd tries to force the money on her.
Todd: Tell me it wasn't real!
Ray begins opening the doors.
Todd: Tell me you don't love me!
Onstage, Pyro gives his command a final time.
Pyro-as-Evil-Maharajah: Open the doors!
Abbie: Open the doors already!
Backstage, Todd is getting more desperate.
Todd: Tell me you don't love me!
As Sabertooth comes up behind Todd, Kurt shouts a final warning.
Kurt: Christian! NUUUUUUU!!!
Todd: Tell me you don't love me!
Sabertooth puts the gun to Todd's back, but at that moment the doors to the stage open, revealing Todd holding the money over Wanda. Sabertooth jumps back. The Audience gasps. Duncan does not look pleased. Pyro looks shocked. Wanda and Todd blink in the sudden bright light. The Dancers stare. Todd looks out at Pyro and the audience. Pyro looks at the Duncan. The audience murmurs as Pyro tries to cover.
Warren: oh good golly miss molly!!!
Pyro-as-Evil-Maharajah: Ha ha ha! I am not fooled! Though he has shaved off his beard and adopts a disguise, mine eyes do not lie! For it is he, the same penniless sitar player!
Audience murmurs in understanding.
Pyro-as-Evil-Maharajah: Driven mad by jealousy!
Wanda: and lets not forget driven mad by Abbie
Dolly: cripes! I expected one eventually but two?
Kurt: zhis is ze sign of the apocalypse!
