Nine Lyrics

The Script Lyrics

The action begins in a graveyard.
A man has been buried alive.
He�s scratching and clawing.
Poor fellow, he�s caught in a terrible crunch!
He�s fighting his way to the surface.
It�s likely he�ll never survive.
He hardly can breathe,
And he�s desperate to keep an appointment for lunch.
La Fleur An appointment for lunch? That�s absurd!
Guido It�s humorous!
La Fleur It sounds depressing.
Guido It does.
In fact we begin with a wedding,
A prologue to what I�ve described.
We�re happy and gay and in love and it�s spring
And the trees are all green.
A trio of capuchin monkeys
Insinuates into the frame.
They chatter a bit and then one disappears,
But the others remain ...
Have i mentioned the train?
La Fleur Train?
Guido Of course! There are trains in all Contini films!
It�s my signature! (sings)
With a bold clean masterstroke,
A bold clean masterstroke,
Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly,
Suddenly we see fire and smoke.
With a bold clean masterstroke,
A bold clean masterstroke,
Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly,
Suddenly there�s a train!
With a bold clean masterstroke,
A bold clean masterstroke,
Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly,
Suddenly one colossal joke!
And the monkeys all get on,
The monkeys all get on,
Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, suddenly,
Suddenly they�re all gone!
Ciao! (He tries to leave.)
La Fleur (calling him back) Contini! This is not what
I want! There are no trains in a spa. There are no monkeys in a spa. And where is le singing?
Where is le dancing?
Guido What singing? What dancing?
La Fleur When we had lunch in Paris, you told me you couldn�t wait to do a musical!
Guido A musical?
La Fleur Why do you think I gave you this contract?
Guido What was I drinking at this lunch?
La Fleur (outdone, enraged) Mais c�est pas possible!
Je n�en peux plus! Pourquoi faut-il que je m�associe toujours avec les idiots?
Madonna, madonna! (sings)
