Chapter Four

Morris had an investor. And the Bohemians had a show.

Toulouse: It's the end of a century! The Bohemian Revolution is here.

While the celebration party ragged upstairs, I tried to write, but all I could think about was her. (singing) How wonderful life is... ( Was she thinking about me...? ) (singing) Now you're in the world.

Piper thinking about Leo: Dan? I'm not Dan. I'm a writer. He wasn't trying to trick her or anything - It's about Love! It's about love overcoming all obstacles

Piper: I follow the night
Can't stand the light
When will I begin to live again?
One day I'll fly away!
Leave all this to yesterday...
what more could your love do for me?
When will love be through with me?
Why live life from dream to dream and dread the day when dreaming ends?

Leo: How wonderful life is now you're in the world.
(Leo leaves his apartment and starts to climb the elephant to where Piper is)

Piper: One day I'll fly away
Leave all this to yesterday
Why live life from dream to dream and dread the day when dreaming ends?
One day I'll fly away, fly, fly away.

(Piper turns and is startled to see Leo)
Leo: Sorry, I'm sorry...I didn't mean... I saw--I saw your light on. I climbed up the...

Piper: What?

Leo: I couldn't sleep and...I--I wanted to thank you for helping me get the job.

Piper: Oh, of course. Yes...Toulouse--Toulouse was right. You are--you're very talented. It's going to be a wonderful show. Anyway I--I better go because we--we both have a big day tomorrow. (she turn to leave)

Leo: Wait...no, please wait. Before when we were--when we...when you thought I was Dan and you said that you loved me. And I--I wondered if...

Piper: If it was just an act?

Leo: Yes...

Piper: Of course.

Leo: Oh. It just felt real...

Piper: Leo, I'm a courtesan, I'm paid to make men believe what they want to believe.

Leo: Yes...silly of me, to think that you could fall in love with someone like me...

Piper: Oh...I can't fall in love with anyone.

Leo: Can't fall in love? But a life without love! That's terrible.

Piper: No, being on the street, that's terrible.

Leo: No! Love...is like oxygen.

Leo: (spoken) Love is a many splendored thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love.

Piper: (spoken) Please, don't start that again.

Leo: All you need is love!

Piper: (spoken) A girl has got to eat.

Leo: All you need is love!

Piper: (spoken)She'll end up on the street!

Leo: All you need is love...

Piper: Love is just a game...

Leo: I was made for loving you baby, you were made for loving me!

Piper: The only way of loving me baby is to pay a lovely fee.

Leo: Just one night, give me just one night!

Piper: There's no way 'cause you can't pay.

Leo: In the name of love, one night in the name of love.

Piper: You crazy fool, I won't give into you.
(she tries to leave)

Leo: Don't... leave me this way. I can't survive without your sweet love, oh baby...don't leave me this way.

Piper: You think that people would have had enough of silly love songs.

Leo: I look around me and I see it isn't so, oh no.

Piper: Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs.

Leo: Well what's wrong with that? I'd like to know, cause here I go again! (Leo gets onto the very top of the elephant. Piper screams...) Love lifts us up where we belong!

Piper: (spoken) Get down, get down!

Leo: Where eagles fly, on a mountain high!

Piper: Love makes us act like we are fools. Throw our lives away for one happy day. (Leo gets down)

Leo: We can be heroes! Just for one day...

Piper: You, you will be mean.
(Piper starts to head downstairs)

Leo: No I won't! (he chuckles)

Piper: And I...I'll drink all the time!

Leo: We should be lovers!

Piper: We can't do that.

Leo: We should be lovers! And that's a fact.

Piper: Though nothing would keep us together...

Leo: We could steal time--

Both: Just for one day. We can be heroes, forever and ever. We can be heroes forever and ever. We can be heroes just because...

Leo: I...will always love you!

Piper: I...!

Both: Can't help loving...

Leo: You...

Piper: How wonderful life is...

Both: Now you're in the world...

Piper: (spoken) You're going to be bad for business, I can tell. (they kiss)
