| Raoul: One more.
|
| Bartender: Oh, buddy, don’t you think you’ve had enough? |
| It’s practically
|
| morning already.
|
| Raoul: One more, I said!
|
| Bartender: All, right, all right. |
| My shift is over anyway, so let’s settle the
|
| bill, ok? |
| Jeez, you’re in a bad way aren’t you? |
| Worse than
|
| most that end up here. |
| Here’s the morning shift — maybe he’ll know what to do with you.
|
| Raoul: Yes, what to do with me. |
| That’s the question, isn’t it? |
| That’s always
|
| been the question. |
| Ever since the beginning.
|
| She looks for sympathy
|
| I give her sorrow
|
| She asks for honesty
|
| I’ve none to borrow
|
| She needs my tender kiss
|
| She begs it of me
|
| I give her ugliness
|
| Why does she love me?
|
| She yearns for higher things
|
| Things I can’t give her
|
| The rush that music brings
|
| I can’t deliver
|
| And even when she sings
|
| And soars above me I try to clip her wings
|
| Why does she love me?
|
| One more drink, sir. |
| That’s what I need don’t you think, sir? |
| Leave the hurt
|
| behind.
|
| Do you hear me? |
| Another drink!
|
| She wants the man I was
|
| Husband and father
|
| At least she thinks she does
|
| She needn’t bother
|
| Beneath this mask I wear
|
| There’s nothing of me Just horror, shame, despair
|
| Why does she love me?
|
| How 'bout you, sir? |
| Tell me what am I to do, sir? |
| Leave the hurt behind.
|
| Meg: Morning, Bernie, coffee please! |
| Hurry up before I freeze. |
| I’ll just take
|
| it black. |
| Mother said I’d find you here.
|
| Raoul: Miss Giry…
|
| Meg: Do you know where you are?
|
| R: Hell, I imagine
|
| M: Around here they call it suicide hall. |
| It’s where people end up when they
|
| don’t know where else to go. |
| The hopeless, the
|
| desperate. |
| Good place to step off the side of the pier and quietly vanish.
|
| R: You seem to be a regular.
|
| M: Me? |
| I come here to swim
|
| This town is coarse and cold and mean
|
| It’s hard to keep your conscience clean
|
| Faceless in the crowd
|
| Anything’s allowed
|
| And so I come at dawn each day
|
| Come to wash it all away
|
| Sink into the sea
|
| Blue and cool and kind
|
| Let it set me free
|
| Let the past unwind
|
| Leave the hurt behind
|
| You should never have come to America. |
| It’s not a place for people like you and
|
| Christine. |
| It’s too easy to forget who you are and
|
| where you belong. |
| That’s why Mother says you must leave here. |
| Now.
|
| Take your wife and the boy and go.
|
| R: Leave? |
| What about tonight? |
| The concert, the money? |
| Am I to just run away
|
| from him?
|
| M: When the sun rises tomorrow we can all start again. |
| Clean.
|
| Sail across the sea
|
| Put us out of mind
|
| Close your eyes and flee
|
| Let yourself stay blind
|
| Leave this place behind |
