Chapter Three
Phoebe: Don't know if that Dan's gonna get his money's worth tonight.
Girl: Don't be unkind Phoebe.
-----------
Morris: You frightened her away. But I can see some lonely Moulin Rouge dancers looking for a partner or two. So if you can hunk-hunk, you can hunkadola with them.
-----------
Prue: Away, away we go quickly.
Piper: Oh... Prue, these silly costumes.
Man: All right, you girls--get back out front and make those gents thirsty. Problems?
Prue: Not for you to be worried about.
Man: Let's not stand around then.
-------------
Dan: Find Morris, the girl is waiting for me.
-------------
Prue: That twinkle-toes Dan has really taken the bait girl. With a patron like him, you'll be the next Sara Burnhart.
Piper: Do you really think I could be like the great Sara?
Prue: Why not? You have the talent. You hook that Dan and you'll be lining up the great stages at your name.
Piper: I'm going to be a real actress Prue, a great actress, and I'm going to fly away from here. (to her bird) Oh yes, we're going to fly, fly away from here!
Morris: Duckling, is everything all right?
Piper: Oh yes, of course Harold.
Morris: Oh thank goodness. You certainly weaved your magic with that Dan on the dance floor.
Piper: How do I look? Smoldering temptress?
Morris: Oh my little strawberry, how can he possibly resist from gobbling you up? Everything's going so well!
------------
Toulouse: Unbelievable, straight to the elephant!
Piper: This is a wonderful place for poetry reading don't you think? Hmm... poetic enough for you?
Leo: Yes...
Piper: A little supper? Maybe some champagne?
Leo: I'd rather just, um... get it over and done with.
Piper: Oh... very well... then why don't you come down here and let's get it over and done with?
Leo: I'd prefer to do it standing.
Piper: Oh.
Leo: You don't have to stand I mean. Sometimes that - 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.
Piper: I'm sure I will.
Leo: Excuse me. The sky is--
Piper: Oh... (she is on the bed moaning)
Leo: Is... ugh... blue... oh... (blows a raspberry) come on (blows a raspberry) come on (blows a raspberry) I think...
Piper: Oh! (moaning)
Leo: I might be shaking . . . Oh Tik-e-tik-e-tik-e . . .
Piper: Um... is everything all right?
Leo: I'm just a little nervous...It just that sometimes it takes a while ugh...
Piper: Ohhhh...
Leo: For you know...inspiration to come.
Piper: Oh yes, yes, yes...Let mommy help, hmm? Does that inspire you? Let's make love!
Leo: Make love?
Piper: You want to, don't you?
Leo: Well I--I... came to--
Piper: Hmm, tell the truth. Feel the poetry! Come on... feel it... feel it tiger! (she growls)
Leo: Ohhh...
Piper: Oh... big boy!
Toulouse: He's got a huge talent!
Piper: Yes, I need your poetry now!
Leo: It's a little bit funny, 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?
Piper: Oh poetry, yes, yes, yes this is what I want, naughty words. Ohh...
Leo: I--I don't have much money, but, boy, if I did I'd buy us a big house where we both could live...
Piper: Oh yes, yes...Oh yes... oh naughty!
Leo: If I were a sculptor, but then again no. Or a man who makes potions for a traveling show.
Piper: Oh...don't...don't...don't...don't stop!
Leo: I know it's not much...
Piper: Give me more, yes...yes...YES!
Piper: But it's the best I can do.
Piper: NAUGHTY! DON'T STOP...YES, YES, YES!
Leo: My gift is my song
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 you're in the world.
Sat on the roof and I kicked off the moss
Well, some of these verses, well they,
they 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
So excuse me forgetting
but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is, what I really mean...
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen.
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!
Toulouse: Looks like he's got the job!
Piper: Oh...I can't believe it. I'm in love. I'm in love with young, handsome talented Dan.
Leo: Dan?
Piper: Oh...not that the title's important of course.
Leo: I'm not Dan.
Piper: Not Dan?
Leo: I'm Leo.
Piper: Leo?
Leo: Yes, Leo.
Piper: No!
Leo: Well Toulouse...
Piper: Toulouse? Oh no! You're not another of Toulouse's oh-so-talented, charmingly Bohemian, tragically impoverish protégés.
Leo: Well, you might say that...
Piper: OH NO! I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill him!
Leo: I think there might be a small hitch..
Leo: Toulouse told me...
Piper: Dan. (she opens the door and sees the duke) DAN!
Leo: Dan?
Piper: Hide! Out the back.
Morris: My dear, are you decent for Dan? Where were you?
Piper: I--I--I was waiting.
Morris: Dearest Dan, allow me to introduce Mademoiselle Piper.
Piper: Monsieur, how wonderful of you to take time out of your busy schedule to visit.
Dan: The pleasure I fear will be entirely mine, my dear.
Morris: I'll leave you two squirrels to get better aquatinted. Ta-ta!
Dan: A kiss on the hand may be quite continental.
Piper: But diamonds are a girl's best friend.
Dan: After tonight's pretty exertions on the stage, you must surely but in need of some refreshment my dear. (He turns to the drinks table)
Piper: DON'T! Don't you just love the view? Hmmm?
Dan: Charming. (He turns again)
Piper: Oh! I feel like dancing. (she growls and starts to dance)
Dan: Would you like a glass of champagne? (he turns yet again to the drinks table)
Piper: NO! It's a little bit funny...
Dan: What is?
Piper: This...
Leo (mouthing): ( feeling)
Piper: Feeling...
Leo (mouthing): ( Inside )
Piper: Inside.
Leo (mouthing): ( I'm not one of those who can easily... )
Piper: I'm not one of those who can easily...
Leo (mouthing): ( hide )
Piper: Hide. NO! I know I don't have much money, but if I did, I'd buy a big house where we both can live. (opens Dans legs and mimes at Leo to go away)(singing)I 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. (looks at Leo)
Piper: That's very beautiful
Piper: It's from "Spectacular, Spectacular." Suddenly with you here, I finally understood the true meaning of those words. How wonderful life it now you're in the world.
Dan: And what meaning is that my dear?
(Leo opens the door to leave but sees Warner and quickly comes back in and closes it.)
Piper: (throws herself on the bed)NO, NO, NO! Dan, don't you toy with my emotions. You-you must know the effect you have on woman. LET'S MAKE LOVE! You want to make love don't you? I knew you felt the same way! Oh, oh Dan! (Leo is looking at her in a pleading way) Yes, you're right, we should wait, until opening night.
(Leo has a satified look on his face)
Dan: Wait? Wait?
Piper: There's a power in you that scares me. You should go.
Dan: Go? But I just got here.
Piper: Oh yes, but we'll see each other everyday during rehearsal. We must wait; we must until opening night. (closes the door on Dan and turns to Leo) Do you have any idea, any idea what would happen if you were to be found? Oh...
(Piper gasps and faints)
Leo: Oh! Oh my god... Piper?
Morris: Let's have a little peek aboo.. (Morris looks through his telescope at Leo shaking Piper, attempting to wake her up) Right on target!
Leo: Hello? Wake up... Maybe I'll just put you on the bed.
(Dan enters)
Dan: I forgot my ha-- foul play?
Leo: She--I--
(Piper awakes)
Piper: Oh, Dan!
Dan: It's a little bit funny this feeling inside?
Piper: Beautifully spoken Dan. Yes, let me introduce you to the writer.
Dan: The writer?
Piper: Yes, oh yes, we were--we were rehearsing.
Dan: Oh ho, ho, ho you expect me to believe that in the arms of another man in the middle of the night inside an elephant, you were rehearsing?
(The Bohos appear from their hiding place)
Toulouse: How's the rehearsal going? Shall we take it from the top, eh, my queen?
Satie: I hope the piano's in tune. (makes awful sounding chord)
Argentinean: Sorry - got held up!
Doctor: Can I offer you a drink?
Zidler: (looking through telescope) Oh my goodness!
Piper: When I spoke those words to you before, you filled me with such inspiration. Yes, I realized how much work we had to do before tomorrow, so I called everyone together for an emergency rehearsal.
Duke: If you're rehearsing, where's Morris?
(Morris bursts in)
Morris: My dear Dan, I'm most terribly sorry.
Piper: Darryl! You made it. It's all right, Dan knows all about the emergency rehearsal.
Morris: Emergency rehearsal?
Piper: Hmmm... to incorporate the Dan's artistic idea.
Morris: Yes well I'm sure Audrey will be only too delighted.
Toulouse: Audrey's left!
Piper: Darryl, the cat's out of the bag. Yes, Dan already a big fan of our new writer's work. That's why he's so keen to invest.
Morris: Invest? Invest! Oh yes, well invest! You can hardly blame me for trying to hide our...
Toulouse: Leo...
Morris: Leo away.
Dan: I'm way ahead of you Morris.
Morris: My dear Dan, why don't you and I go my office to peruse the paper work.
Dan: What's the story?
Morris: The story?
Dan: Well if I'm going to invest, I need to know the story.
Morris: Oh yes, well the story's about...Toulouse?
Toulouse: Ugh... The story-the story's about it's- it's about um...
Leo: It's about love!
Dan: Love?
Leo: It's about love, overcoming all obstacles.
Toulouse: And it's set in Switzerland!
Dan: Switzerland?
Morris: It's not in Switzerland!
Leo: India! India! It's set in India! And there's a courtesan, the most beautiful courtesan in all the world, but her kingdom's invaded by and evil Maharaja. Now, in order to save her kingdom, she has to seduce the evil Maharaja. But on the night of the seduction, she mistakes a penniless po- a penniless a penniless sitar player for the evil Maharaja and she falls in love with him. (he turns to Piper) He wasn't trying to trick her or anything. But he was dressed as a Maharaja because...he's appearing in a play.
Argentinean: I will play the tango dancing sitar player. I sing like an Angel and I DANCE... like the devil...
Dan: And--and--and what happens next?
Leo: Well, penniless sitar player and the courtesan they have to hide their love from the evil Maharaja.
Satie: The penniless sitar player's sitar is magical. It can only speak the truth.
Toulouse: And-and I will play the magical sitar. (makes sitar noices)(to Piper) you are beautiful. (makes sitar noises)(to Morris) you are ugly, and (to Dan) you are...
Dan: And he gives the game away.
Morris: Tell him about the can-can!
Leo: The tantric can-can... it's an...
Morris: It's an erotic spectacular scene that captures the thrusting, violent, vibrant, wild bohemian spirit that this whole production embodies Dan.
Dan: What do you mean by that, my dear?
Morris: The show will be a magnificent, opulent, tremendous, stupendous, gargantuan, bedazzlement, a sensual ravagement, it will be
Morris: Spectacular, spectacular.
