Lyrics:
GEORGE ...And then with a swift karate-chop I removed his gun -- You should have been there! Poor chap didn't know what hit him... GIULIETTA (interrupting) Still, George! If you can't keep your tongue still, You will have the face of Edith Sitwell! GEORGE Ah well, they're happy... It's for the best anyway... Let's face it, He's the man for her, And I'm the man for you, dear... GIULIETTA Don't talk such nonsense -- You'll never stop loving her. You don't fool me: You're quite besotted with her... Stop. Wait. Good. Please... Still, George... GEORGE With my scarf I made a tourniquet -- Shantung silk, but worth the sacrifice -- It stemmed the flow, the arm was saved, and... GIULIETTA Still, George, Rose would seem the kind of lady Who would live through any blood-bath... GEORGE Darling, it's over -- So don't be so cynical. I don't suppose that you've become a nun Since last I saw you... GIULIETTA Wouldn't you love that! Perpetual chastity! GEORGE So tell me, Have you found some young Adonis? GIULIETTA (back to work again) Stop. Wait. Good. Please... No, George. BOTH Time and light are fading -- Shouldn't we make the most of Every precious moment? Life is sweet and slow and still and... VOICES I'm not leaving here till I get what I came for...it's a Scandal...out of my way...heaven help him if he won't Pay...who are you pushing...I got here first...all I want Is what's fair...he had better be there... GEORGE (over the voices) For heaven's sake! Who's making all that mayhem? MARCEL (to GEORGE) Thank God you're here! We've got trouble with Rose -- HOTELIER (to MARCEL) Are you certain that This is the man? Running up bills Wherever she goes! Is he the one Footing the bill? (to the others) This is the man I was Looking for, Is this the man? This is your man! DOCTOR (to MARCEL) Can you be certain that This is the man? Is this the right man? CASHIER (to HOTELIER) This is the man Who will pay for The eighty-one phone calls! I beg of you, pay! My poor mother is dying! HOTELIER (to GEORGE) She loses her job if These bills don't get settled! If I lose my job, then... PHARMACIST (to DOCTOR) This is the man Who will pay for The codeine and dressings! DOCTOR (to GEORGE) I've called the police, there (to GEORGE) We'll call the police if... Are eight in the lobby! CASHIER The Doge's Suite! HOTELIER DOCTOR & PHARMACIST Beluga caviar! Twenty thousand lire! GONDOLIER You are the man, I understand, Who can clear my expenses. Here they are: Thirty thousand lire! CASHIER Forty thousand! HOTELIER Fifty thousand! GEORGE (counting) DOCTOR & PHARMACIST Nineteen... Twenty thousand lire! GIULIETTA (counting) GONDOLIER Twenty-three... Thirty thousand lire! GEORGE & GIULIETTA Forty-eight... CASHIER Forty thousand! Forty-nine... HOTELIER Fifty thousand! MARCEL George, I'm sorry...She's been very ill. ROSE George...George... My life is draining... Away... MARCEL (backing out, to GEORGE) We'd best be on our way -- We'll leave you three alone... GIULIETTA So this is Rose Vibert. The famous Rose Vibert. GEORGE I have to talk to her. Sit down and talk to her. This can't go on another day. Rose, what can I do with you? Wreaking havoc left and right -- It's absurd! She must change her ways, She must pass this passing phase -- Problem child... Running wild... Rose, I ought to strangle you! But there's a style about that girl That stops me in my tracks. Heaven knows why she Wants to waste her life with me... And yet if she went off, If she set herself free, As I've told her she should... Where on earth would I be? GIULIETTA You'd be lost, my friend, And so would she... ROSE ...And he said to me He really ought to buy that vineyard... GIULIETTA Please, Rose. Don't you think you ought To take a little rest From George's foibles? ROSE Well, you'll have to learn to live with it. That and all his other pet obsessions: God and Trollope, Other women... GIULIETTA Please, Rose! George is a remarkable man. He was there when I thought I had no one. He saw me through my darkest moments. He made me talk about my husband. We had been married five days... He drove like the wind... Not any more... But George was always there, No matter when or where. He stopped me feeling so alone... ROSE When did you meet him? GIULIETTA One evening at Harry's bar -- He wore a silver tie pin And a smile that was even brighter... ROSE I know that tie pin -- It catches on everything! GIULIETTA And as for all those paint rags... ROSE Heaven help us! BOTH We deserve a medal! ROSE Nice to see that George has settled in: Fifteen novels on the go, as always! Used to drive me to distraction... GIULIETTA Please, Rose! Last year he forgot my birthday, So I rearranged his bookmarks... ROSE George dear, we're talking -- We don't need you hovering. GIULIETTA My darling, you're completely right -- We're doing fine without you. GEORGE (smiles) I get the picture. Condemn me to solitude! ROSE You'll find some things to keep you occupied. GIULIETTA We'll call you if we need you! ROSE & GIULIETTA Time and light are fading -- Shouldn't we make the most Of every precious moment? Life is sweet and slow and still And perfect! All the more, now our man George Has brought the two of us together! ROSE I never imagined she'd be like that -- Your lady friend comes as a sweet surprise... A wonderfully sweet surprise... GEORGE Take a deep breath and prepare yourself... I've been such a trusting fool... Those wretched investments I made Have gone down the drain... After today, there'll be no more champagne... The ways of the world are cruel... ROSE If I ask a question, Will you promise...? You must promise... That the answer to my question is "yes"... GEORGE Yes, I'll say yes... ROSE Take a deep breath and prepare yourself... My mind is in such a mess... But really, George, All that I wanted to ask was this: Would you be willing to marry me? GEORGE I've already told you. Yes.
