:11:01
I lost my job giving you
those extra music sheets.

:11:05
- You won't hold that against me?
- Of course not.

:11:08
I was very young then.
:11:10
You're very young now.
:11:12
I don't know.
Soon I shall be an old married lady.

:11:17
Then I wish you lots of happiness.
:11:20
Thank you.
:11:21
I wish that waitress would hurry.
:11:25
Before we do the choreography,
I'll explain the story.

:11:30
It's about Harlequinade.
:11:32
Terry is Columbine.
She is dying in a London garret.

:11:35
Harlequin, who is the lover,
and the clowns, are at her bedside.

:11:39
She asks to be carried
to the window.

:11:41
She wants to look upon the rooftops
one last time.

:11:44
The clowns weep. She smiles.
:11:47
Their clothes are not for sorrow
but for laughter.

:11:50
She wants them to perform,
do their tricks.

:11:52
The clowns can do their comedy.
:11:54
- While she's dying?
- Yes.

:11:56
Let me see, where am I?
:12:01
As the clowns perform,
she becomes delirious.

:12:03
Spirits of Columbines
dance before her.

:12:07
Then she dies.
That's the first scene.

:12:10
Next is the graveyard
where Columbine was buried.

:12:13
Harlequin, her lover,
enters in the moonlight.

:12:16
He tries to resurrect her
from the grave.

:12:20
But he fails.
:12:22
The spirits tell him not to grieve.
:12:24
His love is not in the grave,
but everywhere.

:12:27
Then Terry appears.
:12:29
That's your solo, then the finale.
:12:31
We'd better get a move on.
It's only 3 weeks to the opening.
