GIRLS AND MEG:
Bathing beauty, on the beach
Bathing beauty, say hello
What a cutie, what a peach
Bathing beauty, watch her go!
STAGEHAND:
Alright, Meg, take 5
Girls, take it one more time
GIRLS:
Bathing beauty, on the beach…
MADAME GIRY:
Very nice, Meg
MEG:
Do you think so, Mother? Really?
MADAME GIRY:
You’ve come a long way since the beginning of the season
MEG:
Does he agree?
It’s been three months, he never comes to see the show
Even a word from him, just one…
MADAME GIRY:
You may get more than that
He has been composing again, late at night
Not this cheap Vaudeville trash, something glorious!
MEG:
For, for me?
MADAME GIRY:
Continue to work hard
Make yourself useful to him
GUSTAVE:
Mother — !
CHRISTINE:
Patience, Gustave, first I must find the stage manager
My dressing room, the musical director…
GUSTAVE:
Then we’ll go look for our friend and go see the island?
CHRISTINE:
I’m sure he’ll send for you when he’s ready
Well, excuse me, Miss, would you mind —?
MEG:
Heaven help me, could it be?
No, it couldn’t possibly
CHRISTINE:
Sorry, do I —?
MEG:
Yes, I think you do!
CHRISTINE:
Have we -?
MEG:
Go on, take a guess
CHRISTINE:
Wait, it can’t be, is it?
MEG:
Yes
CHRISTINE:
Oh, my God, I can’t believe it’s you!
MEG:
Look at you, Christine!
Regal as a queen and beautiful
CHRISTINE:
Meg, and you as well!
I could hardly tell it’s you!
MEG/CHRISTINE:
My dear old friend
Can’t believe you’re here, old friend
CHRISTINE:
After all this time
MEG:
So glad you came
CHRISTINE:
You look sublime
MEG:
You look the same
MEG/CHRISTINE:
My sweet old friend
Never thought we’d meet, old friend!
CHRISTINE:
Look at you, a star!
MEG:
And you, a wife!
MEG/CHRISTINE:
And isn’t life a splendid thing?
CHRISTINE:
And here we are
MEG:
To see the sights
CHRISTINE:
And sing!
MEG:
To sing?
CHRISTINE:
And of course, as a treat for my son
Meg, meet Gustave
MEG:
Who hired you to sing here?
RAOUL:
You!
MADAME GIRY:
It can’t be you
RAOUL:
Is this a jest?
MADAME GIRY:
How can this be?
RAOUL:
We’ve come to work
MADAME GIRY:
At whose request?
RAOUL:
The contract’s here
MADAME GIRY:
I want to see
My God, the price
RAOUL:
It’s rather high
MADAME GIRY:
Why, it’s absurd
RAOUL:
Oh, yes, I know
Inform your boss
That by the by
The fee goes up
Or else we go
RAOUL/MADAME GIRY:
My dear old friend
Here’s how things appear, old friend
MADAME GIRY:
He who pays the bill
RAOUL:
Times two or three
MADAME GIRY:
Be sure he will
RAOUL:
And handsomely
RAOUL/MADAME GIRY:
And dear old friend
Now that we are clear, old friend
MADAME GIRY:
That’s all very well but till you’re gone
You’ll wait upon my boss' whim
RAOUL:
Ah, yes, your boss
And who is that?
MADAME GIRY:
It’s him
MEG:
Sorry, did I hear you right?
Here to sing?
CHRISTINE:
Tomorrow night
MEG:
I’m afraid there must be some mistake
You can’t be performing
CHRISTINE:
Why?
MEG:
Mainly, dear 'cause so am I
I’m in fact the star, for heaven’s sake
What are you to sing?
CHRISTINE:
Just one little thing, an aria
MEG:
No…
CHRSTINE:
Please you needn’t fret
I’m sure you will get your due
RAOUL:
Him?
MADAME GIRY:
That’s what I said
RAOUL:
You work for him?
MADAME GIRY:
Now so do you
RAOUL:
And my poor wife…
We thought him dead
She’ll be appalled
MADAME GIRY:
Unless she knew…
CHRISTINE:
Darling, please, are you alright?
RAOUL:
Tell me now, that music, who was its creator?
CHRISTINE:
Darling, please don’t squeeze so tight…
RAOUL:
Something’s going on here, I’ll deal with you later
MEG:
Did you know?
MADAME GIRY:
How could I know?
Why would they come?
MEG:
Why won’t they go?
ALL:
My dear old friend
Can’t believe you’re here, old friend
MADAME GIRY:
Speaking as your host
MEG:
As an artist
CHRISTINE:
What a surprise
RAOUL:
To say the least
ALL:
Yes, dear old friend
That’s a happy tear, old friend
I can’t conceal, try though I may
The way I feel so I pretend
I’m sure it’s clear
To such a dear old friend
MADAME GIRY:
You mustn’t stay
CHRISTINE:
Why would I leave?
RAOUL:
Why are we here?
MEG:
Don’t play naïve
ALL:
What dear old friends
Don’t we all revere old friends?
RAOUL:
Nothing has been changed
MEG:
And never will
CHRISTINE/MADAME GIRY:
Just rearranged
ALL:
And yet we’re still
Such grand old friends
Such devoted and old friends
Words cannot suggest
What’s in my heart
And for the rest
Why even start?
Your dear old friends
So much more than mere old friends
Back again at last
With everyone
Isn’t this great
Won’t this be fun?
With dear old friends
Utterly sincere old friends
MEG:
Honey, break a leg!
RAOUL:
Madame, good day
MADAME GIRY:
Enjoy your stay
CHRISTINE:
Hope it extends!
ALL:
So glad you’re here
A lovely dear old friend
Old friend!
CHRISTINE:
Gustave, Gustave, Gustave?
RAOUL:
Must we always be chasing after the boy?
I promise you, when I find him — !
CHRISTINE:
No, I will look for him
STAGEHAND:
Break’s over, mate, back to work
MEG:
MEG/GIRLS:
Bathing beauty, on the beach
Bathing beauty, say hello
What a cutie, what a peach
Bathing beauty, watch her go
