Moulin Rouge Page #4

Can describe this great event

You'll be dumb with wonderment

The hills are alive

With the sound of music

So exciting

The audience will stomp and cheer

So delighting

It will run for 50 years

So exciting

The audience will stomp and cheer

So delighting

It will run for 50 years!

Yes, but what happens in the end?

The courtesan and sitar man

Are pulled apart by an evil plan

But in the end, she hears his song

And their love is just too strong

It's a little bit funny

This feeling inside

So exciting

The audience will stomp and cheer

So delighting

It will run for 50 years

The sitar player's secret song

Helps them flee the evil one

Though the tyrant rants and rails

It is all to no avail

I am the evil maharajah!

You will not escape!

No one could play him like you.

ZIDLER:
No one will.

So exciting, we'll make them laugh

We'll make them cry

So delighting--

And in the end,

should someone die?

So exciting

The audience will stomp and cheer

So delighting

It will run for 50 years!

Generally, I like it.

[CHEERING]

CHRISTIAN:

Zidler had an investor...

...and the Bohemians had a show.

It's the end of the century!

The Bohemian revolution is here!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[LAUGHING AND CHATTERING]

ARGENTlNEAN:

You are a beautiful woman.

I love sex.

While the celebration party

raged upstairs...

...I tried to write.

But all l could think about

was her.

[SINGING]

How wonderful life is

[IN VOICE-OVER]

Was she thinking about me?

[SINGING]

Now you're in

The world

CHRISTIAN:

Duke? I'm not a duke.

I'm a writer.

He wasn't trying to trick her.

It's about love.

It's about love...

...overcoming all obstacles.

[SINGING]

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

How wonderful life is

Now you're

In the world

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

Away

Sorry.

Ah!

I didn't mean--

I saw your light on

and I climbed up the--

What?

I couldn't sleep, and I wanted to thank you

for helping me get the job.

Oh. Of course.

Yes, Toulouse was right.

You're....

You're very talented.

It's going to be a wonderful show.

Anyway, I'd better go.

We both have a big day tomorrow.

Wait.

No, please wait.

Before, when we were....

When we were....

When you thought I was the Duke...

...you said you loved me,

and I wondered--

If it was just an act?

Yes.

Of course.

It just felt real.

Christian...

...I'm a courtesan.

I'm paid to make men believe

what they want to believe.

Silly of me, to think you could

fall in love with someone like me.

I can't fall in love with anyone.

Can't fall in love?

But a life without love? That's terrible!

No. Being on the street, that's terrible.

No. Love is like oxygen.

What?

Love is a many-splendored thing.

Love...

...lifts us up where we belong.

All you need is love.

Please don't start that again.

[SINGING]

All you need is love

A girl has got to eat.

All you need is love

Or she'll end up on the streets.

All you need is love

[SINGING]

Love is just a game

I was made for loving you, baby

You were made for loving me

The only way of loving me, baby

Is to pay a lovely fee

Just one night

Give me just one night

There's no way

'Cause you can't pay

In the name of love

One night in the name of love

You crazy fool

I won't give in to you

Don't leave me this way

I can't survive

Without your sweet love

Oh, baby

Don't leave me this way

You'd think that people

Would have had enough

Of silly love songs

I look around me and l see

It isn't so

Oh, no

Some people want to fill the world

With silly love songs

Well, what's wrong with that?

I'd like to know

'Cause here I go again

Love lifts us up where we belong

Get down! Get down!

Where eagles fly

On a mountain high

SATINE:

Love makes us act like we are fools

Throw our lives away

For one happy day

We could be heroes

Just for one day

SATINE:

You, you will be mean

No, I won't.

And I

I'll drink all the time

We should be lovers

We can't do that

We should be lovers

And that's a fact

Though nothing

Will keep us together

We could steal time

Just for one day

Just for one day

We could be heroes

We could be heroes

Forever and ever

Forever and ever

We could be heroes

We could be heroes

Forever and ever

Forever and ever

We can be heroes

We can be heroes

Just because l

Will always love

I....

Can't help loving

Can't help loving

You

How wonderful life is

Now you're in

Now you're in

The world

The world

You're gonna be bad for business,

I can tell.

[SINGING]

How wonderful life is

Now you're in

The world

CHRISTIAN:
How wonderful life was

now Satine was in the world.

But in the Duke...

...Zidler had gotten much more

than he had bargained for.

The conversion of the Moulin Rouge

into a theater will cost a fantastic sum.

So, in return, I would require

a contract that...

...binds Satine to me...

...exclusively.

Naturally, I shall require some security.

I shall require the deeds to the Moulin Rouge.

My dear Duke--

Please! Don't think that I'm naive,

Zidler.

I shall hold the deeds to the Moulin Rouge.

And if there are any shenanigans...

...my manservant, Warner...

...will deal with it in the only language...

...you underworld show folk understand.

Satine will be mine.

It's not that I'm a jealous man.

I just don't like other people

touching my things!

I...

...understand completely, Duke.

Good.

Now that we have an understanding,

it would appear that...

...you have the means to transform

your beloved Moulin Rouge--

--into a theater!

I shall woo Satine over supper tonight.

ZIDLER:
We will have created

the world's first...

...completely modern...

...entirely electric,

totally Bohemian...

...all-singing, all-dancing

stage spectacular!

[GASPING]

The show must go on!

Yes, the show would go on.

But Satine would not attend supper

that night or the following night.

Mad with jealousy,

the evil maharajah...

...forces the courtesan to make the sitar

player believe she doesn't love him.

[IMITATING ARGENTINEAN]

"Thank you for curing me...

...of my ridiculous obsession

with love"...

[IN NORMAL VOICE] ...says the sitar player,

throwing money at her feet...

...and leaving the kingdom forever!

SATINE:
No, no, no!

TOULOUSE:

Brilliant! Brilliant!

But a life without love? That's terrible!

Yes. But the sitar player--

Wait! That's my part.

That's my part, Christian!

Don't you dare!

The magic sitar, who can only

speak the truth, says:

CHRISTIAN:
"The greatest thing

you'll ever learn...

...is just to love and be loved

in return."

A picnic, sweet lady?

Oh, but we have so much to do.

So much work.
