IT’S POSSIBLE
(McElligot’s Pool)
JOJO
Try not to think.
Try to behave.
Try not to think.
I’ll think of
Taking a bath in a drippy old tub
Going plink.
Plink. Plink. Plink!
But when I think of that plinkety plink
I see fish swimming by in a school
Hey maybe this tub is…
“McElligot’s Pool.’
This might be a pool,
Like I’ve read of in books,
Connected to one of those underground brooks!
An underground river
That starts here and flows
Right under this bathtub! And then-
Who knows!
It’s possible!
Anything’s possible!
(Jojo’s bathtub begins to rise magically)
It might go along,
Down where no one can see
Right under state highway
Two hundred and three!
Right under the wagons!
Right under the toes
Of Mrs. Umbroso! …
Who’s hanging out clothes!
It’s possible!
Anything’s possible.
This might be a river ,
Now mightn’t it be,
Connecting McElligot’s pool with the sea
Then maybe some fish might be swimming…
Swimming toward me!
(We are suddenly underwater. Seussian fish appear, and swoop through the water-they perform synchronized swimming, surfboarding, all with Jojo)
FISH, JOJO FALSETTO GROUP
Ah! Oo-wee-ee-ee-ee-ooh!
It’s possible!
It’s possible…
Ah! Oo-wee-ee-ee-ee-ooh!
It’s possible
It’s possible…
Ah!
JOJO FISH
Oh, the sea is so full Ooh … Wah-ooh …
Of a number of fish
If a fellow is patient Ooh … Wah-ooh …
He might get his wish!
And that’s why I think Ooh … Wah-ooh …
That I’m not such a fool
When I sit here and fish When I sit here and fish
In McElligot’s pool!
It’s possible. It’s possible
It’s possible
Anything’s
Possible.
It’s possible. It’s possible
It’s possible
Anything’s
Possible. Possible.
It’s possible…
(And now, the fish miraculously appear upside down and all around Jojo.)
JOJO & FISH
Anything’s…
Possible!
(Jojo goes to bed. It’s the next morning. Jojo’s parents enter. They are worried about their son)
HOW TO RAISE A CHILD
MRS. MAYOR
He’s a perfect little boy
But he’s acting very strange.
MAYOR
Is it all a part of growing up
Or did something make him change?
We could just lay down the law.
MRS. MAYOR
We could simply let him grow.
MAYOR & MRS. MAYOR
Oh, where are the instructions on how to raise a child?
Who has the instructions on how to raise a child?
Who has all the answers?
I don’t know.
(The conductor hands Mayor and Mrs. Mayor a brochure, touting a school which seems to be the answer to their problems with Jojo. When they finish reading it, General Genghis Kahn Schmitz grandly arrives.)
THE MILITARY
SCHMITZ
I’m General Genghis Kahn Schmitz.
I scare children out of their wits.
But you’ll see at a glance, sir,
My school is the answer
For shirkers and dreamers and twits…
And in this case, I’d say the shoe fits!
Ten hut! Feet together. Chin up. Eyes on the prize, forward … Harch!
(Jojo begins to march in place)
SCHMITZ
The military academy
Is the place where he should be sent.
We’ll drill the silliness from his head-
I’m sure we’ll make a dent!
We’ll teach him fighting
And left and righting
Until he’s muscled and tan!
A-hut-two-three!
He’s pathetic!
A-hut-two-three!
Unathletic!
A-hut-two-three!
But I’m betting we can!
The military!
That’s what makes a boy… A man!
(Cadets enter-children trying to behave like soldiers.)
CADETS
Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz,
Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz,
Schmitz.
SCHMITZ
The military’s extraordinarily
Good for somebody meek.
He’ll bunk with bullies who beat him up –
CADETS
At least three times a week!
SCHMITZ
He’ll sweat and shiver and eat raw liver.
It’s all a part of the plan!
CADETS
A-hut-two-three!
SCHMITZ
When they suffer,
CADETS
A-hut-two-three!
SCHMITZ
Boys get tougher!
CADETS
A-hut-two-three!
SCHMITZ
And it’s time he began!
CADETS
The military!
That’s what makes a boy ….
That’s what makes a boy…
A man! A man!
CADETS
Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz!
(Schmitz hands Jojo’s parents a contract they sign it, and march off obediently. Schmitz turns to Jojo)
SCHMITZ
Our boys believe
In the right of every who
To eat their bread
Butter side up!
CADETS
Butter side up!
SCHMITZ
One thing we trust
On this fragile spec of dust
Is eating bread
Butter side up!
JOJO
Butter side up?
SCHMITZ
And as for those who like their butter down
CADETS
Down! Down! Down!
SCHMITZ
We’ll nucleate ’em!
(sfx: squish)
We’ll spiff-licate ’em!
(sfx: large spring)
SCHMITZ, CADETS
We’ll go to war
And run them out of town!
(Dance break in which Schmitz leads the cadets and Jojo in a series of silly maneuvers. Jojo can’t keep up or fit in.)
CADETS
A-hut-two-three!
SCHMITZ
We enlist ’em.
CADETS
A-Hut-Two-Three
SCHMITZ
In our system.
And boys soon see
Nothing’s easier than…
The military!
SCHMITZ CADETS
That’s what makes a boy…
That’s what makes a boy… That’s what makes a boy … That’s what makes a boy…
A man!!! A man!!!
CADETS
(As they exit)
Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz
Schmitz, Schmitz, Schmitz!
SCHMITZ
I do not like green eggs and ham!
CADETS
Do not like green eggs and ham!
SCHMITZ
I do not like them, Sam I am!
CADETS
Do not like them, Sam I am!
SCHMITZ
Sound off!
CADETS
Eggs and ham!
SCHMITZ
Sound off!
CADETS
Sam I am!
SCHMITZ & CADETS
I do not like green eggs…
And ham!
(The cadets carry Jojo to a bunk bed and deposit him there. We see Horton, alone with his clover. Stars come out.)
ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE
HORTON
I’ve been guarding this clover
For over a week,
Getting laughed at
For thinking a dust speck can speak.
Well, let them all laugh
I’ll try not to mind,
For I have found something
That they’ll never find!
There are secrets on a leaf,
In the water, in the air,
Hidden planets, tiny worlds,
All invisible!
Not a person seems to know.
Not a person seems to care.
There is no one who believes a thing I say…
Well, I’m fairly certain
At one time or other,
Great thinkers all feel this way!
I’m alone in the universe.
So alone in the universe.
I’ve found magic but they don’t see it
They all call me a lunatic.
Ok, call me a lunatic.
If I stand on my own, so be it.
‘Cause I have wings.
Yes, I can fly
Around the moon
And far beyond the sky
And one day soon
I know there you’ll be
One small voice in the universe
One true friend in the universe
Who believes in me…
JOJO HORTON
I’m alone in the universe.
So alone in the universe.
My own planets and stars
Are glowing.
Alone in the universe
No one notices anything.
Not one person is listening.
They don’t have any way of knowing.
Nobody knows that
I have wings
I have wings.
Yes, I can fly
I can fly
Around the moon
And far
Beyond the sky Beyond the sky
BOTH
Well someday soon
You will hear my plea
HORTON
One small voice in the universe
JOJO
One true friend in the universe
BOTH
Please believe in me …
HORTON
Hello…hello?
JOJO (startled)
Hello?
HORTON
Who’s there?
JOJO
It’s me, Jojo.
The Mayor’s son.
HORTON
I’m Horton. The elephant
JOJO
Are you real, or are you a very
Large think?
HORTON
Oh, I’m real, all right. I would state that in ink.
JOJO
In my thinks, I imagine a lot of
Strange things
And I go to strange places, as if
I had wings!
I love a good think!
HORTON
Well, for me that goes double.
JOJO
Sometimes my thinks are what get me in trouble.
HORTON
When you think, do you dream?
JOJO
In bright colors!
HORTON
Me too. And I go to strange places
Like Solla Sollew!
JOJO
When you think, do you think
You could fly to the stars?
HORTON
Little friend, no one else
Could have thinks such as ours!
(Horton and Jojo magically begin to fly through the starry universe.)
HORTON JOJO
Yes, I have wings.
I have wings
And I can fly
I can fly …
Around the moon
And far beyond the sky Beyond the sky …
You called my name
And you set me free-
One small voice in the universe
JOJO
One true friend in the universe
BOTH
Who believes in me.
HORTON
Goodnight Jojo.
JOJO
Goodnight Horton. See you in Solla Sollew!
(Gertrude McFuzz enters. The conductor presents her with a guitar. She begins to strum,)
THE ONE FEATHER TAIL OF MISS GERTRUDE McFUZZ
GERTRUDE
There once was a girl bird named Gertrude McFuzz
And she had the smallest plain tail ever was.
One droopy-droop feather, that’s all that she had
And oh! That one feather made Gertrude so sad
She curled it. She dyed it she gave it a puff
She decked it with flowers
But it wasn’t enough.
For no matter what,
It just was what it was-
A tail that simply wasn’t meant
To catch the eye of an elephant…
The one feather tail of Miss Gertrude McFuzz.
(Now the extraordinary Mayzie La Bird and her bird girls appear. They dance around Gertrude, sizing her up with scorn and pity)
AMAYZING MAYZIE
MAYZIE
I was once a plain little bird like you, kid.
One pathetic feather was all I grew.
I had nothing showoff-ish.
What’s a plain bird to do?
And there’s certainly nothing showoff-ish on you!
GERTRUDE
Thank you, Mayzie
MAYZIE
Then I made a plan for my self-improvement
No more crumbs. I vowed I would have the cake!
Yes, I went to the doctor-
BIRD GIRLS
Doctor Dake by the lake!
MAYZIE
And he told me
What sort of a pill I should take…
Now I’m ……
Amayzing Mayzie!
As feathered as feathered can be now!
Amayzing Mayzie!
It was all for sale!
MAYZIE & BIRD GIRLS
Amayzing Mayzie!
MAYZIE
The birds are all whistling at me now.
MAYZIE & BIRD GIRLS
Amayzing Mayzie!
MAYZIE
Baby, that’s my tail!
BIRD GIRLS
High or low
GERTRUDE
Gee, it’s fabulous!
BIRD GIRLS
Watch her go
GERTRUDE
Gee, I’m envious!
BIRD GIRLS
To and fro,-
Mayzie’s fabulous tail!
GERTRUDE
I wish I had one like it.
BIRD GIRLS
Left and right
GERTRUDE
Best I’ve ever seen.
BIRD GIRLS
Day or night
MAYZIE
Kid, you’re turning green!
GERTRUDE & BIRD GIRLS
What a sight-
Mayzie’s fabulous tail!
MAYZIE BIRD GIRLS
Get those pills
Get the pills
And you can have frills
Frills!
MAYZIE & BIRD GIRLS
For all the world to see.
And you can be amayzing-
MAYZIE
Almost…
As amayzing…
As me!!!
AMAYZING GERTRUDE
GERTRUDE
So she flew to the doctor,
The doctor named Dake
Whose office was high in a tree by the lake.
And she cried, -Mr. Doctor! – oh, please, do you know
Of some kind of pill that will make my tail grow?
(The cat appears wearing a stethoscope.)
CAT (as Doctor Dake-in German)
“Tut tut!”, sagt der docktor,
Diese gespra che ist zu veruckti
Ihr kleiner feder swanze ist senau richtig fur ihr vogel art!
GERTRUDE
Huh??
CAT (as Doctor Dake)
In other words, your little tail is just right for your kind of bird!
GERTRUDE
Then Gertrude had tantrums. She raised such a din
That finally the doctor just had to give in.
CAT (as Doctor Dake)
(Reacts to her tantrum)
Alrightalready!
Sitte shben herr mit der pill- berry bush! Meine gute!
(The bird girls bring on a pillberry bush. Gertrude takes some of the pills)
GERTRUDE
Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Gulp gulp gulp! What was that?
Something’s itching me!
What was that?
Something’s twitching me!
What was that?
Are those feathers I see?
I think my tail’s beginning!
Oh my word!
This is wonderful!
Second, third,
Wow, I’m colorful!
What a bird
I’m beginning to be…
Amayzing Gertrude
BIRD GIRLS
Just look at the tail she is sportin,
GERTRUDE & BIRD GIRLS
Amayzing Gertrude
GERTRUDE
Thank you, Doctor Dake!
BIRD GIRLS
Thanks, doc!
GERTRUDE & BIRD GIRLS
Amayzing Gertrude!
GERTRUDE
And hopefully I’ll impress Horton!
BIRD GIRLS
Amayzing Gertrude…
(She starts taking more pills)
GERTRUDE
One more pill will do me good
Yes, it will!
One more, one more, one more pill
BIRD GIRLS
Soon, she’ll have the biggest tail…
She’ll have the biggest tail!
GERTRUDE
I’ll have the biggest tail!
GERTRUDE & BIRD GIRLS
The biggest tail of…
GERTRUDE
All!
BIRD GIRLS
All!
(Gertrude and the bird girls exit, as lights come up on another part of the jungle. It’s dark and menacing. The Wickersham brothers enter)
MONKEY AROUND
WICKERSHAMS
Yeah!
WICKERSHAM #1
There’s a rustle in the bushes.
There’s a tremble in the trees.
Hear it like a whisper
Smell it on the summer breeze.
WICKERSHAMS
Mm-hmm!
WICKERSHAM #1 WICKERSHAMS #2, 3
Somethin’ big is getting nearer Ooh …mm-hmm!
Somethin’ big is comin’ through Ooh …mm-hmm
Got some monkey business Ah …
WICKERSHAMS
That’s what we intend to do…
Come on!
I wanna monkey,
Monkey around
Come on!
I gotta monkey
Monkey around
Come on!
We’re gonna monkey
Ooh, we’re gonna monkey around! Ooh!
(Horton enters, clutching his clover)
HORTON
The Wickershams. Uh, hello.
(The Wickersham brothers circle Horton)
WICKERSHAM #2
Well, it’s bigger than a breadbox WICKERSHAM # 1,3
Mm-hmm!
WICKERSHAM #3 Hey, it’s wider than a whale!
WICKERSHAMS #1,2
Mm-hmm!
WICKERSHAM #1
Peanut butter breath
WICKERSHAMS
And scared to death from head to tail!
WICKERSHAM #1
So you’re still talking to dust oh,
What rot!
WICKERSHAM #2
A dust speck that’s all full of Whos
Who are not!
WICKERSHAM #3
There aren’t any Whos. Why I don’t hear a sound!
WICKERSHAMS
Come on! We’ve gotta monkey…
Monkey around!
(The Wickersham brothers grab the dust speck and run. Horton follows them. The chase is on!)
HORTON
No! Stop! Please wait!
(Jungle citizens enter to watch and comment on the following)
CHASING THE WHOS
SOUR KANGAROO
Up out of the jungle
Up into the sky.
Up over the mountains
SOUR KANGAROO & BIRD GIRLS
Ten thousand feet high.
SOUR KANGAROO
Then down from the mountains
SOUR KANGAROO & BIRD GIRLS
And into the news-
ALL
Went Horton the elephant
Chasing the Whos!
WOMEN
Chasing the Whos!
MEN
Chasing the Whos!
(The cat appears in a “helicopter’ which he mimes with his umbrella.)
CAT
This is the cat in the hat live from Sky cam five.
Folks, the Jungle of Nool is one heck of a drive.
We’ve got monkeys backed up to the three-oh-two
I’d find alternate routes if I were you!
(The cat exits)
WICKERSHAMS, SOUR KANGAROO & BIRD GIRLS
Then over the desert,
The desert of Dreze!
And into the forest with thousands of trees
Past Sneetches on beaches
SOUR KANGAROO
And sour kangaroos!
ALL (except Horton & “vocally low” men
“vocally low” men)
Went Horton the elephant
Chasing the Whos Chasing the Whos!
Chasing the Whos! Chasing the…
Chasing the Whos!
(The Wickersham Brothers stop running and face the out-of- breath Horton)
WICKERSHAM #1
Still chasing your dust? Why it’s safe as can be.
WICKERSHAM #2
We’re monkeys to trust
Or don’t you agree?
WICKERSHAM #3
Well, just to be sure
We are handing it off
WICKERSHAMS
To a black-bottomed eagle named–
VLAD VLADIKOFF
Vlad Vladikoff!!
(The eagle swoops in and grabs the clover. And the chase continues-Horton runs below, and the eagle flies above)
HORTON
No! Please! Wait!!
BIRD GIRLS
All that late afternoon and far into the night
That black-bottomed bird
Flapped his wings in fast flight, and he paid no attention to Horton’s loud call:
HORTON
A person’s a person
No matter how small!
(We now see the Whos being swept from side to side as the eagle swoops, dives and somersaults. The Whos cling to one another in terror)
WHOS (SCREAMING)
OOOH … AAAHHH!!!
We’re Whos here! We’re all Whos here!
Please don’t let us fall!
Aaah!
We’re Whos here. We could bruise here!
Helpless, weak and small.
ALL (INCLUDING WHOS)
On Horton traveled
And on that bird flew.
And, oh, there was trouble,
WHOS
Trouble on Who!
ALL (INCLUDING WHOS)
That black-bottomed eagle was cruel as could be…
HORTON
‘Cause at six fifty-six, Vlad Vladikoff dropped it
The clover went tumbling and nobody stopped it!
Head over heels, one hundred miles down, fell
The poor little Whos and their whole tiny town
(The clover drops, and the Whos scream.)
WHOS
Aaah!
(The cat is revealed-he freezes the Whos in mid-fall)
HOW LUCKY YOU ARE
CAT
When the news is all bad,
When you’re sour and blue,
When you start to get mad
You should do what I do-
(The Whos fall a few more feet)
WHOS
Aaah!
CAT IN THE HAT
Tell yourself
How lucky you are…
When your life’s going wrong
When the fates are unkind
When you’re limping along
And get kicked from behind
Tell yourself how lucky you are…
(The Whos fall again.)
WHOS
Aaah!
CAT
Why decry a cloudy sky
An empty purse
A crazy universe?
My philosophy is simply
Things could be worse!
AH … AH.. AH-CHOO!
(The cat sneezes all over the clover and the Whos react in disgust)
WHOS
EWWW!
CAT
So be happy you’re here.
Think of life as a thrill
And if worse comes to worse
As we all know it will
Thank your lucky star
You’ve gotten this far…
And tell yourself
How lucky you are!
How lucky, how lucky, how lucky,
How lucky, how lucky you are!
(The cat is gone, and Horton is alone)
HORTON
That bird let that clover drop somewhere inside
Of a great patch of clovers, one hundred miles wide!
I’ll find it, I’ll find it!
I’ll find it or bust!
I’ll find my friends on their small speck of dust.
Yes, clover by clover by clover with care
I’ll listen and I’ll call, are you there?
Are you there? Are you there? Are you there?
(Horton begins his search for the Whos clover by clover . Gertrude McFuzz enters. She now possesses a long, magnificent tail! As she sings to Horton, he takes no notice whatsoever, and continues his search for his speck of dust)
NOTICE ME, HORTON
GERTRUDE
It’s taken all my courage to approach you
Not to mention all my stamina to follow you
Across the hills and deserts.
But I feel as if I’m ready
To confess to you the feelings
That I’ve hidden with great diligence and labor…
Behind the facade
Of your odd little next-door neighbor.
My eyes are too small.
I have very large feet.
And I’m not very proud of my pitiful tweet
But I’ve now got a tail
That is something to see.
HORTON
One hundred and two. One hundred and three.
GERTRUDE
Oh, notice me, Horton, feather by feather.
This is your next-door neighbor calling!
Notice me, Horton.
Horton, together
We could be great
Oh, notice me, Horton
Put down the clover!
This is your next door neighbor calling.
There’s a new leaf
Your neighbor’s turned over-
HORTON
Over and over,
Clover by clover…
(Horton sings to a clover, not noticing that Gertrude is singing to him)
GERTRUDE, HORTON
I was just a no one only yesterday.
You showed up and showed me something more.
Now I’ve become a someone
Who has someone to believe in
And to be there for…
GERTRUDE
I will not give up hope.
I was hooked from the start
When I noticed your kind
And your powerful heart.
So notice me, Horton…
HORTON
Oh, the world would be something new
GERTRUDE
Notice me, Horton
HORTON
If they noticed a thing or two…
GERTRUDE
Notice me, Horton
GERTRUDE, HORTON
The way I notice you.
(The number ends with Horton staring longingly at a clover and Gertrude staring longingly at him. She exits. A ticking clock creates a time jump.)
HORTON
Two million, nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine. It’s hopeless.
(A voice is heard over Horton’s head)
MAYZIE
You said it kid.
HORTON
Who’s there?
MAYZIE
It’s me. Mayzie. Up here.
HORTON
Mayzie .. Are you on a nest?
MAYZIE
Yeah. You wanna make something of it?
HORTON
No, I just never thought I’d see you on a nest
MAYZIE
Neither did I, Hort…neither did I.
(The cat rides out on a small, Seussian piano. He plays a jazz intro for Mayzie,)
HOW LUCKY YOU ARE (MAYZIE’S REPRISE)
MAYZIE
I was down in Fort Worth,
Just a girl on the wing,
When I met Tweet McFirth.
Oh, could that fellow sing!
Tell yourself
How lucky you are!
CAT
How lucky, how lucky you are-
MAYZIE
It was three weeks of bliss.
Then the usual segue:
He flew off to San Juan
Leaving me with this egg!
Tell yourself
How lucky you are!
CAT
How lucky you are!
MAYZIE
Now I’m bored and
I’m cranky and tired
Sitting day after day.
Who knew so much work was required?!
I’d much rather play!
I need a vacation!
I’m due for some rest-
Hey, Horton, would you maybe like to sit on my nest-?
(A beat, as Horton considers this)
HORTON (relenting)
Well, we all need vacations.
All right go on, take it
I’ll sit on your egg
And I’ll try not to break it
But please come back quickly- one hour, maybe two.
I need to find Jojo.
I’ve got to save Who!
MAYZIE
Hit it cat! Toodle-oooo!
(Mayzie flies off, thrilled with her newfound freedom. The bird girls enter, as Horton climbs the tree and gingerly sits on the nest)
HORTON SITS ON THE EGG
BIRD GIRLS
Then carefully, tenderly,
Gently he crept
Up the trunk to the nest
Where the little egg slept.
Then Horton the elephant smiled:
HORTON
Now that’s that.
BIRD GIRLS
And he sat and he sat
And he sat and he sat.
He sat all that day
And he kept the egg warm…
And he sat all that night
Through a terrible storm…
(The seasons change as Horton sits on the egg. Gertrude McFuzz enters, bringing Horton a scare. She tells him that she’s gotten a postcard from Mayzie who’s in Palm Beach. Horton is horrified-what if Mayzie never comes back to reclaim her egg? Gertrude tries to get Horton to notice her new tail, which is now extremely long, but he is preoccupied with his own troubles, Gertrude sighs and exits)
HORTON
I can’t leave this nest.
No, I meant what I said.
This egg might get frozen
But the Whos might be dead!
I couldn’t say no
When I heard Mayzie beg
Now I’m caught between a dust spec and an incubating egg!
(Suddenly hunters surround Horton, aiming guns at his heart. Horton trumpets in terror)
Help!
Someone help!
Hunters!
Help!
(There is chaos. Gertrude tries to fly to Horton’s aid, but can’t because of her heavy tail. She wrestles with it)
GERTRUDE
Horton! … Horton!
(The cat enters and once again freezes the tableau the hunters, a trapped and struggling Horton, the horrified Gertrude. The cat tips the song to Horton and Gertrude, who both unfreeze)
HOW LUCKY YOU ARE / ACT I FINALE
HORTON
When your life’s going wrong
And you’re wondering why
GERTRUDE
When your tail is so long
You’re unable to fly!
CAT & HORTON & GERTRUDE
Tell yourself
How lucky you are.
ALL (EXCEPT WHOS)
Why decry
A cloudy sky,
An empty purse,
A crazy universe.
My philosophy is simply:
WHOS
Things could be worse!
(Lights come up on the mayor, Mrs. Mayor, citizens of Who and General Genghis Khan Schmitz with Jojo. All are bandaged, battered and on crutches)
ALL
So be happy you’re here.
Think of life as a thrill!
And if worse comes to worse,
As we all know it will,
Thank your lucky star
You’ve gotten this far…
CAT
And tell yourself…
(The curtain begins to fall, and continues falling-and as it does, the cat gets caught in a rope-he is pulled up into the air. Chaos ensues as people try to rescue the cat)
ALL (EXCEPT WHOS) WHOS
How lucky you are… How lucky! How lucky!
how lucky you…
How lucky you are… How lucky! How lucky!
how lucky you…
How lucky you are… How lucky! How lucky!
how lucky! How lucky!
how lucky!
How lucky you are! How lucky you are!
(The curtain finally covers the actors, including the dangling cat.)
END of ACT 1
