1:17:01
I don't know.
Soon I shall be an old married lady.

1:17:07
Then I wish you lots of happiness.
1:17:09
Thank you.
1:17:11
I wish that waitress would hurry.
1:17:14
Before we do the choreography,
I'll explain the story.

1:17:20
It's about Harlequinade.
1:17:22
Terry is Columbine.
She is dying in a London garret.

1:17:25
Harlequin, who is the lover,
and the clowns, are at her bedside.

1:17:29
She asks to be carried
to the window.

1:17:31
She wants to look upon the rooftops
one last time.

1:17:34
The clowns weep. She smiles.
1:17:37
Their clothes are not for sorrow
but for laughter.

1:17:39
She wants them to perform,
do their tricks.

1:17:42
The clowns can do their comedy.
1:17:44
- While she's dying?
- Yes.

1:17:46
Let me see, where am I?
1:17:50
As the clowns perform,
she becomes delirious.

1:17:53
Spirits of Columbines
dance before her.

1:17:57
Then she dies.
That's the first scene.

1:18:00
Next is the graveyard
where Columbine was buried.

1:18:03
Harlequin, her lover,
enters in the moonlight.

1:18:06
He tries to resurrect her
from the grave.

1:18:10
But he fails.
1:18:11
The spirits tell him not to grieve.
1:18:14
His love is not in the grave,
but everywhere.

1:18:17
Then Terry appears.
1:18:19
That's your solo, then the finale.
1:18:21
We'd better get a move on.
It's only 3 weeks to the opening.
