RAFFAEL: (spoken)
Well, mimis amichichis,
It has been a lovely day—
And evening—
But now I must wish you all a fond goodnight
Windsor, the door please
And for now—adidio!

PAUL: (spoken)
It was lovely, Raffi

CLAUDIA: (spoken)
Perfect!
And who cares about the meal, anyway?

RAFFAEL: (spoken)
'Til Tuesday at two!
Your Holiness?

BISHOP: (spoken)
A truly joyful evening
God bless you, sir

MARIANNE: (spoken)
Time, Leo

LEO: (spoken)
Yeah, yeah
Back to square one

MARIANNE: (spoken)
Oh, must he say that all the time?

COLONEL MARTIN: (spoken)
Back to barracks, Lieutenant

SOLDIER: (spoken)
Fritz? One final look at the stars?

FRITZ: (spoken)
If they're still there

MARIANNE:
Such a gorgeous room...

CLAUDIA:
Maybe just one more drink...

LEO:
It's not really that late...

RAFFAEL: (spoken)
No, no, no, no, no, really!
I, I must insist
Into the night with you, per favavere!
And for now, adidio!

MARIANNE:
Will you look at these books?...

PAUL:
It's the shank of the evening...

CLAUDIA & LEO:
I've got nothing to do in the morning...
One more burp...

FRITZ:
What's the rush, Raffi?

COLONEL MARTIN:
Maybe just one more brandy...

PAUL: (spoken)
Hey! Why don't we just spend the night?

LEO: (spoken)
That's a fantastic idea!

CLAUDIA: (spoken)
Absolutely

RAFFAEL: (spoken)
You're joking

CLAUDIA:
We can stay right in here!

MARIANNE:
It will be an adventure!

LEO: (spoken)
We can stay right in here!

MARIANNE: (spoken)
And I'm already in my nightie!

RAFFAEL: (spoken)
Really, no! Amichichis!
You cannot be serious!

LEO:
Dibs on the couch!
C'mon, babe, you and me on the couch...

CLAUDIA: (spoken)
I'll take the armchair

PAUL: (spoken)
I'm fine on the floor

FRITZ:
I'm fine in your arms...

RAFFAEL:
But Claudia, what about your children?

CLAUDIA:
What about them?
We'll call
They'll be fine
Shiva's watching them

RAFFAEL: (spoken)
Shiva?

CLAUDIA: (spoken)
The nanny, not the god

MARIANNE: (spoken)
Raffi, you stay too

RAFFAEL: (spoken)
Absurdo. No!—
Why not?
To sleep in a room full of beautiful women?
This is Utopia!

WINDSOR: (spoken)
Good night, Your Excellency

LEO:
Ladies and gents
Before "Lights out"
Goodnight
Sleep tight

MARIANNE: (spoken)
Nightie-night, all
