Oh! Oh! Cleopatra Page #2

---

we'll stick to the horses.

Since a baby, horses

have been my hobby.

I shall light the candles.

No, no, I shall light the candles.

- No, I'll settle it.

Thy both shall light the candles.

- Splendid, splendid.

Friends, Romans, Countrymen,

here we are in dear old Alexandria.

The city is packed to overflowing

with the happy crowds

who didst come to witness

this great race of the century

between Julius Caesar

and Mark Antony.

Ah, her majesty Queen Cleopatra

enters the royal box.

The sun shines beautifully.

Oh, boy, what a wondrous day for this

great classic. There they are now.

Believe it, folks, they're almost ready.

Caesar looks a little bit nervous.

Ah, but Antony has the confidence

of a future champion.

Hold it for a still.

Thank you.

- Thank you.

Caesar's does make

a runaway race of it....

Parlez-vous Francais?

- Ya-ya.

At the quarter Caesar doth lead

by a length. Antony close up.

How they biting, son?

- Okay.

Very good, very good.

At the half, Caesar doth hug the rail.

Antony closing fast.

Into the stretch they come,

in a wondrous driving finish.

Driving, driving, driving they are.

The winner...

Well, wouldst thou believest me,

it was a dead heat.

This is Octavius MacNamee

bidding you good afternoon.

Get out of here, will you.

Oh, my heroes,

you were wonderful.

I did not wait for the finish,

so I know not which of thee won.

However, I shall retire to

the bridal suite, and he who won...

...shall follow me there.

Wait a minute, big, boy, wait.

Big boy, let a good

man enter first.

What's the matter with you,

what's the matter with you, I won.

I won by a Roman nose,

but I got a Mexican decision.

You may have won by a Roman nose,

but here's where I win with Roman hands.

Oh no you don't, oh no you don't...

- Yes I will.

Oh, no you don't.

- Oh, yes I will...

Oh no you won't!

- Oh yes I will.

Oh no you didn't.

Gentlemen, was it a success?

What happened?

Hot dog. Wasn't she beautiful?

- And alluring.

And did she have it?

- She had that.

She had those.

Come on, let's go back

and see her again.
