Here We Are the Musical - Hesitation (Reprise) Lyrics
The song is written by Stephen Sondheim.
FRITZ: (spoken)
How did we get here, anyway?
Can somebody tell me where we went wrong?
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
Brunch
That was the fatal mistake, as always
PAUL: (spoken)
No
The funeral at à La Mode
We shoulda have turned back then
FRITZ: (spoken)
Maybe if we didn’t go to Zeno's...
SOLDIER: (spoken)
We met at Zeno's
FRITZ: (spoken)
I'm factoring that in
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
No, no, no, no
Coming here, to the embassy
This was the tragic error!
And you know
What the ancients did in such dilemmas
They appeased the gods!
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
I'll appease the gods!
PAUL: (spoken)
But how?
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
A scapegoat must give up his own life
To save the others!
I will be the victim
I will be the goat
Now, if you will excuse me
To the bathroom with this pistol—
Adidio!
MARIANNE: (spoken)
No, Raffi—wait
Don't move
Everybody, stay exactly where you are
It's sort of wonderful
Look!
Right now we're all exactly where we were that night!
Just before we decided to stay
We're at Square One!
COLONEL MARTIN: (spoken)
What difference does any of this make?
BISHOP: (spoken)
The piano! It's playing!
MARIANNE: (spoken)
Who spoke first?
Try to remember
Raffi, you said something
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
"Mimis amichichis, it has been a lovely day—
And evening—
But I must wish you all a fond goodnight
And for now—adidio!"
PAUL: (spoken)
"It was lovely, Raffi"
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
"Perfect!
And who cares about the meal, anyway?"
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
"Your Holiness?"
BISHOP: (spoken)
"A truly joyful evening
God bless you, sir"
MARIANNE: (spoken)
"Time, Leo"
Leo, that’s you
LEO: (spoken)
"Well—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: (spoken)
Let's go! Follow me, everyone!
LEO: (spoken)
We're out!
ALL: (overlapping)
Hello?...
Hello?...
Yes, hello?...
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
It's Shiva!
She says the kids are okay!
BISHOP: (spoken)
A miracle! A true miracle!
FRITZ: (spoken)
I don't hear any gunshots
PAUL: (spoken)
I don't hear anything
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
Nothing
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
Nothing is fine with me
LEO: (spoken)
Did all of that really happen?
MARIANNE: (spoken)
Something must have happened
Look at us
COLONEL MARTIN: (spoken)
*Whistle*
Ladies and gentlemen
This is your Department
Of Homeland Security signing off
Until further notice
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
Excuse me, Colonel
"Further notice..."?
COLONEL MARTIN: (spoken)
Until further notice
Back to barracks, Lieutenant
SOLDIER: (spoken)
Listen, Fritz, I—
FRITZ: (spoken)
No apologies
I was in there, too
And hey—you said you wanted real life
COLONEL MARTIN: (spoken)
On the double now, let's go!
FRITZ: (spoken)
Take care of yourself, Soldier
It's funny
I never did learn his name...
BISHOP: (spoken)
I really have to thank you all
Of course,
It was pretty darn harrowing in there
But I know what I am now
MARIANNE: (spoken)
And what is that?
BISHOP: (spoken)
A priest
Just took a little practice
Go in peace, my children
MARIANNE: (spoken)
Your Grace, a small donation
BISHOP: (spoken)
Your satin slippers?
Oh, God bless you, my child!
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
And Windsor, I want to say…
Where did he go?
PAUL: (spoken)
He's gone
LEO: (spoken)
Not quite
He's still out there somewhere
[MARIANNE: (spoken)
But anyway—we're here
And it's a beautiful day
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
Any day would be beautiful right now
LEO: (spoken)
Okay, so
Onwards, babe?
CLAUDIA: (spoken)
Honey?
PAUL: (spoken)
You bet
MARIANNE: (spoken)
Raffi?
RAFFAEL: (spoken)
With pleasure
MARIANNE: (spoken)
Fritzie?
FRITZ: (spoken)
I don’t think so
I've got a bunch of things to clean up
Like my life
Like my head
Like pretty much everything
MARIANNE: (spoken)
Don’t you be a stranger
LEO: (spoken)
Okay, well
Back to square one!
FRITZ: (spoken)
Oh, what the hell!
La vidida ay la blah blah—whatever!
MARIANNE: (spoken)
Perfect
Now, where do we wanna eat?
