Into the Fire – The Scarlet Pimpernel

The Scarlet Pimpernel: Classic

I’ve tried to arrange these according to songs…there are a couple that really don’t fit anywhere though. 🙂

I got a little carried away with the picture capturing!

Overture

The curtain and rising chandeliers

Madame Guillotine

“Sing, swing, savour the sting!”

“As she severs you…”

“…Madame Guillotine”

“Give in, pretty dear”

“In a year, you will be pretty dust!”

“Madame just bit!”

“God, when did man lose his reason?”

Chauvelin oversees the action

“Hail her Majesty!”

Believe

“As waves lean on the sea, my love come lean on me”

“I do believe in you”

Vivez!

“What is it you French say, my dear?”

“Hang on!”

“Mes amis, je suis enchanté

“Simply to move through the sunlight”

“Come, let the moment enfold you”

“Grab up that one golden chance!”

“Darlings, life is such romance”

“Meet your heart halfway”

“And your heart will say

“Vivez!”

Prayer

“Percy, I must speak with you”

“The Marquis de St. Cyr is dead”

“How can this be?”

“How well do you know your wife?”

“Now, in six weeks time…”

“Lay your eyes upon this”

“Are you unwell?”

“No, simply tired”

“You are such a demmed remarkable actress”

“You go to bed now, my dear”

“And yes, God knows I am a fool!”

Into the Fire

“Tell the boys a bit more about this ‘French thing’.”

“Tell them what you saw over there in Paris”

“I tell you, they have gone insane”

“What have you to say to all this?”

“I, for one, am no longer content to sit back
  on my pampered British ass and do nothing…”

“Did you say ‘fight’?”

“At home we must be the least likely of heroes…”

“La crème de la crème of fancy fops!”

“No one will suspect it’s us 10 bounders over there saving lives”

“My family crest…the scarlet pimpernel”

“If we do not do this thing friends, who will?”

“Let the lightning strike…”

Getting changed…

“Someone has to face the valley!”

“Never hold back your step for a moment!”

“Look alive! Oh, your courage will grow!”

“Hold your head even higher”

“And into the fire…”

“Into fire!”

“Onward, ho!”

Falcon in the Dive

“It spoke Latin!”

“I will catch the Scarlet Pimpernel!”

“Then with claws of fire…”

“Grappin!”

When I Look At You

“Sir Percy! Such a madcap!”

“I don’t like all these trips you take of late, little brother”

“Where is it you go?”

“I wish you wouldn’t leave me alone quite so often”

“If you look in his eyes, you will recognize him…”

Marie and Marguerite again

“You were once that someone…”

The Scarlet Pimpernel

“The Scarlet Pimpernel saved you??”

“Is he robust or very pale? At least we know he’s male!”

“Is he a dolt?”

“Oh, England’s losing sleep!”

“Is he a hero or a monk?”

“A fiddling Nero or a drunk?”

“Who is the Scarlet Pimpernel?”

“It’s me, it’s me!”

“Whatever guise he may employ, he’s England’s pride and joy!”

Where’s the Girl?

“Ah, so chu-one-chau-chau-vel!”

“What sort of lover is your husband?”

“This is my home.”

“Don’t forget that I know who you are…”

“Like two jewels in the sky, sharing fire”

“In the dark of the morning, I’ll warm you”

“Am I dreaming, or is she beside me?”

Creation of Man

“How those feathered boys love to flaunt their tails”

“Be an example to your sex”

“Be the king of the beasts in pastels!”

“That is why the Lord created men!”

“You’re a nincompoop, Blakeney”

“Strut, sir!”

“La, but someone has to strike a pose!”

“And bear the weight of well-tailored clothes”

“Draw your britches in quite tight”

“I’ll let my waistcoat swing!”

“And the jungle will bow to its king”

The Riddle

“You received my message, and you came…”

“And now I put it to you Marguerite…”

“Chauvelin!”

“And if I can do this thing?”

“You will release Armand?”

“I swear it!”

“Can I trust you?”

“Can *I* trust *you*?”

“Through the mist, your lover is beckoning…”

“Faces change, even smiles grow strange”

“Feel the terror draw ever nearer”

“We all are caught in the middle…”

“Maybe I’ll trust you…”

“But can you trust me?”

They Seek Him Here

“I have written a brief ballade!”

“I hardly think this is the time or the place”

“The ladies seek him everywhere!”

“Everyone!”

“Is he in heaven or is he in hell?”

“That demmed, elusive Pimpernel!”

Only Love

“I see you try to turn away…”

“We can’t go back to where we were”

“Don’t turn away, it’s only love”

She Was There

“How could I pull her in?”

Storybook

“You show me this prisoner…”

“Et sur mon manège”

“J’éspere une fin heruese”

Lullaby

“If I die before I wake…”

“Don’t you cry, my darling, you are home”

You Are My Home

“There is a child inside my heart tonight”

“No one can see that child but you”

“You understand…you hold me too.”

“In this world of strangers, I belong to someone”

“Bring me the heads!”

“I finally uncovered the identity of the Scarlet Pimpernel…”
