Moulin Rouge Page #7

ZIDLER:

The show must go on

The show must go on

I'll top the bill

I'll earn the kill

I have to find the will to carry

On with the

On with the

On with the show

ZIDLER:

On with the show!

The show

Must go on

What's wrong?

I'm staying with the Duke.

After I left you, the Duke came to see me

and he offered me everything.

Everything that I've ever dreamed of.

He has one condition.

I must never see you again.

I'm sorry.

What are you talking about?

You knew who I was.

What are you saying?

What about last night?

I don't expect you to understand.

The difference between you and I is

that you can leave anytime you choose.

But this is my home.

The Moulin Rouge is my home.

No.

There must be something else.

This can't be real.

There's something the matter.

Tell me what it is. Tell me what's wrong.

Tell me the truth. Tell me the truth!

The truth?

The truth is...

...I am the Hindi courtesan.

And I choose the maharajah.

That's how the story really ends.

Jealousy has driven him mad!

CHRISTIAN:

Satine!

Satine!

Things aren't always as they seem.

Things are exactly the way they seem.

Christian, you may see me only as

a drunken, vice-ridden gnome...

...whose friends are just pimps

and girls from the brothels.

But I know about art and love...

...if only because I long for it

with every fiber of my being.

She loves you. I know it.

I know she loves you.

Go away, Toulouse. Leave me alone.

Go away.

Go away!

I wanted to shut out

what Toulouse had said...

...but he had filled me with doubt.

And there was only one way to be sure.

I had to know.

So I returned to the Moulin Rouge...

...one last time.

She is mine!

TOULOUSE [SINGING]:

I only speak the truth

I only speak the truth

[CHEERING]

I know she still loves him.

There's got to be a reason.

How about one of them

is a duke and the other--?

Then you agree something is wrong.

But what? What?

I raise high

my ceremonial wedding sword...

...and welcome my loyal subjects

to join with us...

...in celebration....

[COUGHlNG]

What a magnificent performance.

MARIE:
A little bit more for me.

Come on, lovey. There, that's a girl.

The boy is here.

ZIDLER:
I told Satine that if Christian

were to come near her, he'd be killed!

He very soon will be.

He will be killed.

That's it. That's why she's

pushing him away. To save him.

That's it.

Christian! Ah!

[YELLING]

Oh, God, this is high up.

I've come to pay my bill.

You shouldn't be here, Christian.

Just leave.

Killed. Killed. Killed.

I must warn him!

You made me believe you loved me.

Why shouldn't I pay you?

Please go away.

MARIE:
She's got to get on her stage!

ZIDLER:
Jealousy has driven

the sitar player into hiding.

You did your job so very, very well.

MAN:

Persian army, go!

The boy's taken Satine. Quick.

CHRISTIAN:
Why can't I pay you

like everyone else does?

Don't, Christian. There's no point.

Just leave.

They're going to kill the poor boy!

But I have found them.

Stop him.

[SCREAMS]

If you don't love me and it wasn't real,

why can't I pay you?

ZIDLER:

Let the palace doors be opened!

TOULOUSE:

Christian!

Open the doors!

Let me pay! Let me pay!

Open the doors.

Tell me it wasn't real.

Tell me you don't love me!

Open the doors!

Christian!

Tell me you don't love me!

[LAUGHS]

I am not fooled!

Though he has shaved off his beard

and adopts a disguise...

...my eyes do not lie!

For it is he!

The same penniless sitar player!

AUDlENCE:
Ah.

Driven mad by jealousy!

Oh, God, no.

This woman is yours now.

I've paid my whore!

I owe you nothing.

And you are nothing to me.

Thank you for curing me of

my ridiculous obsession with love.

I can't remember my line.

This sitar player...

...doesn't love you.

See? He flees the kingdom!

Pumpkin, it's for the best.

You know it is.

The show must go on.

And now, my bride...

...it is time for you to raise

your voice to the heavens...

...and say your wedding vows.

I've got it!

Christian!

[TOULOUSE SCREAMING]

The greatest thing you'll

ever learn...

...is just to love...

...and be loved...

...in return!

[SINGING]

Never knew

I could

Feel like this

It's like I've never seen

The sky before

Want to vanish

Inside your kiss

Every day I'm loving you

More and more

Listen to my heart

Can you hear it sing?

Come back to me

And forgive

Everything

Seasons may change

Winter to spring

I love you.

Till the end

Of

Time

[SINGING]

Come what may

Come what may

I will love you

Until my dying

Day

Day

Come what may

Come what may

I will love you

I will love you

Until my dying--

Until my dying--

TOULOUSE:

Christian, he's got a gun!

[TOULOUSE SCREAMING]

They're trying to kill you!

Shut up!

Look, he's got a gun!

Guards, seize them!

[YELLING IN FRENCH]

No problem. Go back to work!

[SINGING]

No matter what you say

CHORUS:

The show is ending our way

Come on and stand your ground

For freedom

Beauty

Truth and love

One day I'll fly away

My gift is my song

Fly away

My gift is my song

I will love you

I will love you

Yes, I will love you

Yes, I will love you

I will love you

I will love you

Till my dying

Till my dying

My way!

My way! My way!

Day

Day

Stand by for curtain call.

Dancers, positions, please.

Satine.

[SATlNE COUGHING]

Satine? What's the matter?

What is it?

Tell me. What's the matter?

Tell me. Satine? What's the matter?

[SATlNE WHEEZING]

Oh, my God.

Somebody get some help!

Hold the curtain. Fetch the doctor.

I'm sorry, Christian.

I'm dying.

CHRISTIAN:
Shh. Shh.

It's all right.

SATINE:
I'm so sorry.

CHRISTIAN:
No, you'll be all right.

You'll be all right. l know you'll be all right.

I'm cold. I'm cold.

Hold me.

I love you.

You've got to go on, Christian.

I can't go on without you.

You've got so much to give.

Tell our story, Christian.

Promise me.

That way...

...I'll always be with you.

[SOBBING]

[SOBBING LOUDLY]

[SINGING]

There was

A boy

A very strange

Enchanted

Boy

CHRISTIAN:
Days turned into weeks.

Weeks turned into months.

And then,

one not-so-very-special day...

...l went to my typewriter,

I sat down...

...and I wrote our story.

A story about a time...

...a story about a place...

...a story about the people.

But above all things...

...a story about love.

A love that will live forever.

The...

...end.

[SINGING]

The greatest thing

You'll ever learn

Is just to love

And be loved

In return
