[JOE, spoken] Out. I assume I can go out when I feel like it
[MAX, spoken] Madame is quite agitated. Earlier this evening, she wanted you for something and you could not be found
[JOE, spoken] Well, that's tough
[MAX, spoken] I don't think you understand, Mr. Gillis. Madame is extremely fragile. She has moments of melancholy. There have been suicide attempts
[JOE, spoken] Why? Because of her career? She's done well enough Look at all the fan mail she gets every day
[MAX, spoken] I wouldn't look too closely at the postmarks if I were you

The house was always so quiet Just me and Max and that organ No one phoned and nobody ever came And there was only one kind Of entertainment on hand
Max, what's on this evening? I hope it's not one of her weepy melodramas
[MAX] We'll be showing One of Madam's enduring classics The Ordeal of Joan of Arc
[JOE] Oh, God We saw that last week
[MAX] A masterpiece can never pall She is the greatest star of allTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
