BIG CHEESE:
I'm telling you this plan can NOT fail! In one month we get our execution, and I get my bride! I tell ya, it's foolproof!
JERRY ATRIC:
Yeah, made for fools like you, no offense
BIG CHEESE (pretending to laugh):
Ha,ha,ha,ha. None taken at all, why your pathetic attempt at humor amuzes me!
JERRY ATRIC:
Who are you calling 'pathetic'?!
BIG CHEESE:
GOLLY, I CAN'T IMAGINE, WHO'S THE ONLY ONE HERE WITH ME RIGHT NOW?!
(DANCING GIESA GIRLS then enter)
Ah, my entertainment. Jerry Atric, go fetch everyone in Little Tokyo. I want all of them here in this square in ten minutes, you understand? ALL of them, no exceptions, now go! (JERRY ATRIC exits) Now, girls, som entertainment. A song and dance, if you will!
(Music starts as GIRLS start to dance a traditional Japanse dance and sing)
GIRLS (sing):
Ay, iyaiyai,
Ay, iyaiyai
A-a-a iyaiyai,
Where's my samurai
I've been searching for a man
All across Japan
Just to find, to find my samurai
Someone who is strong
But still a little shy
Yes I need, I need my samurai
Ay, ay, ay, I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colors in the sky
Ay, ay, ay, I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colors in the sky
I've been searching in the woods
And high upon the hills
Just to find, to find my samurai
Someone who won't regret
To keep me in his net
Yes I need, I need my samurai
Ay, ay, ay,
I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colors in the sky
Ay, ay, ay, I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colors in the sky
Ay, iyaiyai,
Ay, iyaiyai
A-a-a iyaiyai,
Where's my samurai
Ay, iyaiyai,

A-a-a iyaiyai.
Ay, ay, ay, I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colors in the sky
Ay, ay, ay, I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colors in the sky
Ay, ay, ay, I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colors in the sky Ay, ay, ay, I'm your little butterfly
Green, black and blue,
Make the colors in the sky
Ay, iyaiyai,

(at the end BIG CHEESE claps as PEOPLE of LITTLE TOKYO appear. SPEEDY then enters and BIG CHEESE motions for him to join him up on the stage as music starts.. Enter CHORUS, AL DANTE & JERRY ATRIC
CHORUS:
With aspect stern
And gloomy stride,
We come to learn
How you decide.
Don't hesitate
Your choice to name,
A dreadful fate
You'll suffer all the same.
A dreadful fate
You'll suffer all the same.
AL DANTE

He loves himself with passion tenderer still.
BIG CHEESE:(To SPEEDY):

[Exit BIG CHEESE
POLLY:
Speedy, what happened?
SPEEDY:
Big Cheese is breaking your engagement and letting us b together.
POLLY:
But how, Speedy?
SPEEDY:
I talked to him..and nearly threatened his life, but that's not important now, I'll take care of it, but for now, it's you and me, Polly! (gets down on one knee in front of everyone, causing some to gasp) Polly Esther, in front of everyone here, will you marry me?
POLLY (jumps into his arms):
Yes, Speedy! (kisses him deeply) I love you!
SPEEDY:
I love you, too! (they kiss. SPEEDY sings):
The threatened cloud has passed away,
POLLY
And brightly shines the dawning day;
SPEEDY
What though the night may come too soon,
POLLY:
There's yet a month of afternoon!
GUIDO, GOOD BIRD, CARLA and FRANCINE:
Then let the throng
Our joy advance,

JERRY ATRIC:
As in a month you've got to die,
If Big Cheese tells us true,
'Twere empty compliment to cry,
"Long life to Speedy, true!"
But as one month to live as fellow citizen,
This toast with three times three we'll give:
"Long life,
Long life to you —
Long life to you —
Long life to you — till then!"
CHORUS:
May all good fortune, all good fortune prosper you,
May you have health, may you have health and riches too,
May all good fortune prosper you,
May you have health and riches too,
May you succeed in all you do!
JERRY ATRIC:
Long life, long life to you — till then!
(ALL Dance)
[Enter LUCIELLE melodramatically
LUCIELLE
Your revels cease! Assist me, all of you!
CHORUS
Why, who is this whose excited eyes
Rain blight on our festivities?
LUCIELLE
I claim my perjured lover, Speedy!
Oh, fool! to shun delights that never cloy!
CHORUS:
Go, leave thy deadly work undone!
LUCIELLE
Come back, oh, shallow fool! come back to joy!
CHORUS:
Away, away! ill-favoured one!
SPEEDY: (Aside to POLLY) :
Oh no! Lucielle!
I told her we were through and I loved you. I better leave before she blows this lace up!
(About to go)
POLLY: (Detaining him)
No! You shall not go,
These arms shall thus enfold you!
LUCIELLE:
(Addressing SPEEDY)
Oh fool, that fleest
My hallowed joys!
Oh blind, that seest
No equipoise!
Oh rash, that judgest
From half, the whole!
Oh base, that grudgest
Love's lightest dole!
Thy heart unbind,
Oh fool, oh blind!
Give me my place,
Oh rash, oh base!
Thy heart unbind,
Give me my place,
Oh fool, oh blind!
Oh rash, oh base!
Thy heart unbind,
Give me, give me my place!
CHORUS:
If she's thy bride, restore her place,
Oh fool, oh blind, oh rash, oh base!
LUCIELLE (Addressing POLLY):
Pink cheek, that rulest
Where wisdom serves!
Bright eye, that foolest
Heroic nerves!
Rose lip, that scornest
Lore-laden years!
Smooth tongue, that warnest
Who rightly hears!
Thy doom is nigh.
Pink cheek, bright eye!
Thy knell is rung,
Rose lip, smooth tongue!
Thy doom is nigh,
Thy knell is rung,
Pink cheek, bright eye!
Rose lip, smooth tongue!
Thy doom is nigh,
Thy knell, thy knell is rung!
I know we were friends, but no more, no more,
I'm sorry but your lover is the one I adore
CHORUS:
True be not her tale, thy knell is not rung,
Pink cheek, bright eye, rose lip, smooth tongue!
LUCIELLE: CHORUS:
Thy doom is nigh, True be not her tale, thy knell is rung,
Thy knell is rung, True be not her tale, thy knell is rung,
Thy knell, thy knell is rung! Thy knell is not rung!
FRANCINE:
Away, nor prosecute your quest —
From our intention, well expressed,
You cannot turn us!
The state of your connubial views
Towards the person you accuse
Does not concern us!
GUIDO:
For he's going to marry Polly —
ALL:
Polly!
FRANCINE
Your anger pray bury,
For all will be merry,
I think you had better succumb —
ALL:
Cumb-cumb!
FRANCINE:
And join our expressions of glee.
On this subject I pray you be dumb —
ALL:
Dumb-dumb!
FRANCINE:
You'll find there are many
Who'll wed for a penny
The word for your guidance is "Mum" —
ALL:
Mum-mum!
CARLA:
There's lots of good fish in the sea!
ALL:
On this subject I pray you be dumb — dumb — dumb.
We think you had better succumb — cumb — cumb!
You'll find there are many
Who'll wed for a penny,
Who'll wed for a penny —
There are lots of good fish in the sea!
There are lots of good fish in the sea!
There's lots of good fish, good fish in the sea!
There's lots of good fish, good fish in the sea,
In the sea, in the sea, in the sea, in the sea!
LUCIELLE:
The hour of gladness
Is dead and gone;
In silent sadness
I live alone!
The hope I cherished
All lifeless lies,
And all has perished,
All has perished,
Save love, which never dies!
Oh, faithless one, this insult you shall rue,
In vain for mercy on your knees you'll sue!
I'll tear the mask from your disguising!
SPEEDY: (Aside):
Now comes the blow!
LUCIELLE:
Prepare yourselves for news surprising!
SPEEDY (Aside)
How foil my foe?
LUCIELLE:
No marriage this, despite bravado!
AL DANTE: (Aside, struck by an idea)
Ha! ha! I know!
LUCIELLE:
After only one month he shall be —
(AL DANTE and CHORUS, interrupting, sing Japanese words to drown her voice.)
ALL:
O ni! bikkuri shakkuri to!
LUCIELLE:
In vain you interrupt with this tornado!
But one month hence he shall —
ALL:
O ni! bikkuri shakkuri to!
LUCIELLE:
I'll spoil —
ALL:
O ni! bikkuri shakkuri to!
LUCIELLE:
Your foolish gambado!
He will —
ALL:
O ni! bikkuri shakkuri to!
LUCIELLE:
He will —
ALL:
O ni! bikkuri shakkuri to!
LUCIELLE:
In one month he must—
ALL:
O ni! bikkuri shakkuri to! oya! oya!
LUCIELLE (getting angrier and angrier):
Ye torrents roar,
Ye tempests howl!
Your wrath outpour,
With angry growl!
Do ye your worst, my vengeance call
Shall rise triumphant over all!
ALL:
We'll hear no more,
Ill-omened owl.
To joy we soar,
Despite your scowl!
The echoes of our festival
Shall rise triumphant over all!
LUCIELLE:
Prepare for woe,
Ye haughty lords,
At once I go
Princess Vi-wards.
GUIDO (speaking):
Lucielle, please calm down!! Lucielle…what about me? LUCIELLE BE CAREFULL WITH YOUR MISSLES!!!
ALL:
Away you go,
Collect your hordes;
Proclaim your woe
In dismal chords;
POLLY:
We do not heed their dismal sound,
SPEEDY:
For joy reigns everywhere around.
POLLY:
We do not heed their dismal sound,
POLLY and SPEEDY:
For joy reigns everywhere around.
POLLY : SPEEDY:
The echoes of our festival The echoes of our festival
Shall rise triumphant over all! Shall rise triumphant over all!
Shall rise triumphant, Shall rise triumphant over all!
Triumphant over all! Triumphant over all!
Shall rise triumphant over all! Shall rise triumphant over all!
CHORUS:
We'll hear no more, ill-omened owl.
To joy we soar, despite your scowl!
To joy we soar,
To joy we soar, despite your scowl!
LUCIELLE:
My wrongs with vengeance shall be crowned!
CHORUS:
We do not heed their dismal sound,
For joy reigns everywhere around!
We do not heed their dismal sound,\
For joy reigns everywhere around!
We do not heed their
dismal sound,
For joy reigns everywhere around!
LUCIELLE:
My wrongs with vengeance shall be crowned
My wrongs with vengeance shall be crowned!
[LUCIELLE rushes furiously up stage, as she has now had it and the missles in her hair and back go off with stinging sounds as GUIDO cries, 'Wait, Lucielle!' The missles proceed to clear the crowd right and left, finishing on the steps at the back of the stage
