Land Boom! |
| Land boom! |
| With a double whammy, boy! |
| Land boom! |
| Profits this thick! |
| Land boom! |
| Down around Miami, boy- |
| The weather’s kinda clammy |
| But it’s get rich quick! |
| Brand-new communities |
| Just take your pick |
| Lots of opportunities- |
| All you need is capital |
| A little does the trick |
| Beg or steal or borrow |
| It’ll double by tomorrow |
| Only get your ass to Florida |
| And get rich quick! |
| (Train whistle sounds.) |
| (The bed has been transformed into a railway compartment. In it sits the |
| Handsome Young Man from the opening number. |
| Addison enters. |
| The Handsome Young |
| Man is revealed to be Hollis Bessemer.) |
| I have an aunt. |
| Two hours before the train left I found out she was stopping in |
| Palm Beach |
| Palm beach? |
| Tiny town, middle of nowhere. |
| Nothing there but a monstrosity of a hotel. |
| She’s looking for a place to build a house |
| Really? |
| A house? |
| I sent her a telegram, begged her to wait for me- |
| Friendly refuge till the storm clouds clear, eh? |
| No, it’s more than that. |
| I need her help |
| With what? |
| …if you’d rather not- |
| No! |
| No, I’ll tell you |
