Here We Are the Musical - The Road 2 Lyrics
The song is written by Stephen Sondheim.
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
So much for trying someplace new
MARIANNE: (spoken)
What is happening to decent restaurants?
LEO:
If it isn't the food, it's the service
FRITZ: (spoken)
Didn't you hear?
RAFFAEL:
If it isn't the noise, it's the queue
FRITZ: (spoken)
Are you insane?
PAUL:
Or the backs of the chairs—
LEO:
Or a waiter with airs—
CLAUDIA:
Or the long flight of stairs
To the loo
MARIANNE:
There's always something...
RAFFAEL: (spoken, sotto voce to FRITZ)
You know, you're hot when you're angry
FRITZ: (spoken)
Forget it, Raffi
I've been gay since I was three
(A cell phone rings.
They reach for their phones.)
PAUL, LEO, CLAUDIA & MARIANNE: (spoken)
Ah, it's my assistant Is that mine? Is it me?
FRITZ: (spoken)
It's me, it's me, don't worry
MARIANNE: (spoken)
A boyfriend, I hope!
FRITZ: (spoken)
Do you mind?
MARIANNE: (spoken)
"PRADA" calling?
Sweetheart,
You told me you're anti-fashion!
FRITZ: (spoken)
Anti-fascist
Anti-fascist
RAFFAEL:
Did you know thеre's an extremist group
Of Lеfties in Moranda
Who call themselves—
Would you believe it?—PRADA
FRITZ: (spoken, sotto voce into phone)
Apocalypse here
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
They communicate only in code
FRITZ: (spoken, sotto voce into phone)
Yes, Inferno
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
Their leader is known only as "Inferno"
MARIANNE: (spoken)
And they’re named after a shoe?
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
No, PRADA stands for "People’s"—
FRITZ: (spoken, sotto voce into phone)
Fifty million?
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
"Revolutionary"—
FRITZ: (spoken, sotto voce into phone)
By tonight?
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
"Anti-Domination"
FRITZ: (spoken, sotto voce into phone)
Why?
LEO: (spoken)
"Assholes"
PAUL: (spoken)
"Assholes," really?
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
"Army"
FRITZ: (spoken, sotto voce into phone)
I know, I know, we can't delay the revolution...
MARIANNE: (spoken)
Are they dangerous?
LEO: (spoken)
You ever meet an asshole who wasn't?
PAUL: (spoken)
Hey, I'm an asshole
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
Yeah, but sweetie, you're not dangerous
FRITZ: (spoken, sotto voce into phone)
Well, I do know a few rich assholes
But they're not gonna hand over fifty million
RAFFAEL: (spoken, sotto voce to CLAUDIA)
I have to have you
Now
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
How do you want me?
RAFFAEL:
The way I had you last Tuesday...
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
I love that way
RAFFAEL:
I miss you every day—
CLAUDIA:
Say it, say it—!
RAFFAEL:
Every day—
FRITZ: (spoken, sotto voce into phone)
Okay, okay, okay
RAFFAEL:
In my heart
In my mind
In my bed—
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
More
RAFFAEL:
I miss the way you always give me
Comfort, courage, head...
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
Bite me
RAFFAEL:
Oh, Claudia
I but murmur your name—
RAFFAEL's cellphone rings.
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
Excuse me
FRITZ: (spoken, sotto voce into phone)
I'll do my best, Inferno
RAFFAEL: (spoken, sotto voce into phone)
Hello, Abdul
FRITZ: (spoken, into phone)
Nada but PRADA!
(To the others)
Anybody want to donate fifty million bucks
for a noble cause?
LEO: (spoken)
What’s the cause?
FRITZ: (spoken)
The coming revolution
MARIANNE: (spoken)
Oh, Fritzie, you are so cute!
LEO:
What if it's the end of the world?
Hey, folks
Maybe it's the end of the world
FRITZ: (spoken)
Yeah, laugh
RAFFAEL:
Maybe it's the end of the world
Indeed
MARIANNE:
In that case
Buy this day for us, sweetheart
Buy this perfect day
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
Agreed
CLAUDIA:
End the world, okay
But this day
Let it stay!
PAUL:
And as they say—
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
Paul
PAUL:
La vidida ay estada el tidada! Olé
La vidida ay estada el tidada!
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
He needs food
PAUL:
La vidida ay estada el tidada!
Right, Raffi?
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
Ordinarily, yes, life is a tit
Today, however...
PAUL: (spoken)
What?
LEO: (spoken)
Yeah, "however" what?
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
That was Abdul
PAUL: (spoken)
Is it the diplomatic pouch?
Did the Feds find the coke?
FRITZ: (spoken)
The coke? I love it
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
The pumpkins, yes
RAFFAEL:
It seems the locusts have descended
on the pumpkins
PAUL: (spoken)
Oh my God
RAFFAEL:
We have to feed them lots of semolina
PAUL: (spoken)
Jesus Christ!
LEO:
There's a ton of semolina in the silo
So relax
RAFFAEL: (spoken,
offering cocaine from his pocket watch)
The pumpkin itself, however, is perfect
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
Did he say locusts have descended
on the pumpkins?
What does that mean?
MARIANNE: (spoken)
It's poetry
Almost
And voilà, here's Bistro à La Mode!
LEO: (spoken)
Everybody out of the car!
FRITZ: (spoken, into her phone)
Hello, Inferno?
That fifty mil is in the bag
