Moulin Rouge Page #5
can carry a blanket and basket...
...you can both do it in my presence.
So the sitar player falls from the roof--
Yes, I know, I know. Don't tell me.
"The greatest thing you'll ever--"
Still at it, my sweet?
"Master.
Make. Contract."
My dear Duke, so many lines to learn.
I've been drilling them over and over.
For try as the Duke may,
it was almost too easy...
...for the young writer and actress to invent
perfectly legitimate reasons to avoid him.
Mademoiselle Satine, I haven't
quite finished writing that new scene.
The "Will the lovers be meeting at the
sitar player's humble abode?" scene.
And I wondered if I could work on it
with you later tonight?
But, my dear, I arranged a magnificent
supper for us in the gothic tower.
It's not important.
We can work on it tomorrow.
How dare you.
It cannot wait until tomorrow.
"The lovers will meet at the sitar player's
humble abode" scene is the most important.
We'll work on it tonight
until I'm completely satisfied.
But, my dear--
Dear Duke, excuse me.
I'm sorry.
ZIDLER:
Nice work, family!
Bright and early tomorrow morning,
we begin on Act Two:
The lovers are discovered.
Zidler.
My dear Duke, everything is arranged
for that supper in the gothic tower tonight.
You might as well eat it yourself!
Her affections are waning!
Impossible.
I understand how important her work is,
but she's always at it with that damn writer!
If I don't see her tonight,
I'm leaving!
No, dear Duke!
I'll insist Satine takes the night off.
All right. All right.
Eight o'clock, then.
You'll come tonight?
Yes.
What time?
Eight o'clock.
Promise?
Yes.
Go.
Are you mad?
The Duke holds the deeds
to the Moulin Rouge.
He's spending a fortune on you.
He's given you a beautiful new dressing
room. He wants to make you a star.
And you're dallying with the writer.
Harold, don't be rid--
I saw you together!
It's nothing.
It's just an infatuation.
It's nothing.
The infatuation will end.
Go to the boy.
Tell him it's over.
The Duke is expecting you
in the tower at 8.
SATINE [SINGlNG IN VOICE-OVER]:
If I should die
This very moment
I wouldn't fear
For I've never known completeness
Like being here
Wrapped in the warmth of you
Why live life
From dream
To dream?
And dread the day
[WHEEZING]
How could I know...
...in those last fatal days...
[COUGHlNG]
...that a force darker
than jealousy...
...and stronger than love...
...had begun to take hold...
...of Satine?
Where is she?
MARIE:
Will she be up and about by tonight?Tomorrow morning at the earliest.
The Duke's leaving!
She's confessing!
Confessing? What kind of imbecile
do you take me for, Zidler?
She suddenly had a terrible desire...
...to go to a priest and...
...confess her sins.
What?
She wanted to be cleansed
of her former life.
She looks upon tonight
as her wedding night.
Her wedding night?
She's like a blushing bride.
She says you make her feel like a...
...virgin.
Virgin?
You know. Touched...
...for the very first time.
She says it feels so good inside...
...when you hold her...
...and you touch her.
Like a virgin.
She's made it through the wilderness
somehow. She's made it through.
[SINGING]
She didn't know how lost she was
Until she found you
She was beat
Incomplete
She'd been had
She was sad and blue
But you made her feel
Yes, you made her feel
Shiny and new
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your hearts beat
Both in time
Gonna give you all her love
Her fear is fading fast
Been saving it all for you
Only love can last
She's so fine
And she's thine
She'll be yours
Till the end of time
'Cause you made her feel
Yes, you made her feel
She has nothing to hide
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your hearts beat
Both in time
Like a virgin
Feels so good inside
When you hold her and you touch her
[SINGING] She's so fine
And she's mine
Makes me strong
Yes, she makes me bold
Now her love thawed out
Yes, her love thawed out
What was scared and cold
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
ZIDLER:
Like a virgin
When your hearts beat
Both in time
ZIDLER:
Like a virgin
Feels so good inside
When you hold her
And you touch her
Ahhhhh
Ahhhhh
Like a virgin
Like a virgin
Harold Zidler's brilliant lies had
But no lie, however brilliant,
could save Satine.
DOCTOR:
Monsieur Zidler...
...Mademoiselle Satine is dying.
She has consumption.
She mustn't know, Marie.
The show must go on.
CHRISTIAN:
All night, the pennilesssitar player had waited.
And now, for the first time...
...he felt the cold stab of jealousy.
[COUGHlNG]
Where were you last night?
I told you...
...I was sick.
You don't have to lie to me.
We have to end it.
Everyone knows.
Harold knows.
Sooner or later,
the Duke will find out too.
On opening night,
I have to sleep with the Duke.
And the jealousy will drive you mad.
Christian--
Then I'll write a song.
We'll put it in the show and no matter
how bad things get or whatever happens...
...whenever you hear it or sing it
or whistle it or hum it...
...then you'll know it'll mean
we love one other. l won't get jealous.
Things don't work that way, Christian.
We have to end it.
[SINGING]
Never knew
I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky
Before
Want to vanish
Inside your kiss
CHRISTIAN:
This new scene isthe scene where the sitar player...
...writes a secret song for the courtesan,
so that whatever is happening...
...however bad things are,
We could take it from your line, Satine.
Let's take it from there.
We must be careful.
Fear not. We will conduct our
love affair right under the maharajah's--
[SINGING]
Seasons may change
Winter to spring
Honestly, amigo, this is impossible!
But I love you
Until the end
Of time
Come what may
I will love you
Until my dying day
Suddenly, the world
Suddenly, the world
Seems such a perfect place
Seems such a perfect place
My dear, a little frog!
Suddenly it moves
Suddenly it moves
With such a perfect grace
With such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't
Suddenly my life doesn't
Seem such a waste
Seem such a waste
And there's no mountain
And there's no mountain
Too high
Too high
No river too wide
No river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be
Sing out this song and I'll be
There by your side
There by your side
Storm clouds may gather
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
And stars may collide
But I love you
I love you
Until the end
Until the end
Of time
Of time
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you
I will love you
falls from the roof and says:
ever learn...
...is just to love and be loved
in return."
This ending is silly.
