The Merry Widow Page #6

Did you hear the story

about the warden's daughter?

No.

Well, last night,

the warden's daughter

brought his supper personally

into his cell.

And what happened.

Nothing.

I'm telling you,

he's a changed man.

But here we are.

But, he isn't here.

It looks that way.

Don't worry about that.

He always come back.

Just make yourself comfortable.

Danilo.

He's not here.

When do you expect him back?

I don't know.

Well, anyway, tell him

there's a big party going on

in the women's ward.

I'm sorry.

I was chased by a mouse.

From your estate all the way

here to the prison.

What a mouse.

You don't think I came here

To see me? No.

Yes, I came to see you and to

leave with you one message.

Tonight, there's a party going

on in women's ward. Goodbye.

Your majesty, not even Napoleon

could have thought of this.

Thank you.

The plan can't fail.

They can't get out,

that's what they're in for.

Now, put ourselves in their place.

We both have a quarrel

and now we're locked in.

At first, we don't talk at all,

then I'll tell you what I think

of you, and then you tell me

what you think of me.

Oh, no, your majesty.

I wouldn't dare.

That's right.

Well anyhow, we're in the cell.

We can't quarrel all night

and as time passes,

I begin to realize that after all

you're a woman.

And above all, I begin to realize

you're a man.

Right. And still more,

you're a gorgeous woman.

And as for me,

You're wonderful, your majesty.

Thank you.

That's Marshovia.

The minute you go to party,

and people can't get out.

Oh, you're not so innocent.

What? You did the whole thing.

Did what?

You bribed the jailer to

lock you here with me.

I have to apologize,

you didn't bribe the jailer.

It's a conspiracy.

Against both of us.

They want us to fall for

each other.

We are threat.

Oh. But this is terrible.

What are we doing to do?

Oh, now, darling. You can't cry.

I beg your pardon. Let's calm down

Let's keep cool. I have it.

Let's fool them.

Let's fall for each other.

That should be easy.

Really? Why should two people

who hate each other

Love each other.

Right. Why then? Let's not do it.

We won't.

Let's drink to that.

May our hearts remain as cold as

the champagne.

Could be a little bit cooler.

Oh, please.

Any man who can dance through

life with a hundred women

And is willing to walk through

life with one should be married.

Captain Danilo, do you take...

Yes, certainly.

Of course.
