Could we limit ourselves to a modest ornamental accompaniment?
Pianist: no. And then a nun wouldn't speak like that about a hill
Barba: and what if I sang 'the hills are animated by a sweet song'?
Toulouse: no, no. "the hills tremble and shudder..."
Beard: no no no...
Argentinian (waking up with a start): "the hills embody
harmonious melodies! and faints again
Beard: no
Pianist: no then, all together, overlapping
Beard: the hills...
Toulouse: the hills embody

Pianist (interrupting Christian): the hills invoke sounds

Christian: the hills...
Barba (interrupting Christian): the hills have celestial sounds

Incredibly awesome! With Christian we can write that show

Toulouse: and we will make him convinced by the only person who can do it

V.F. It would have been a perfect plan: I would have recited my verses for
Satin, she would have convinced Ziegler... and we would have been ready for the
Moulin Rouge

Lights on stage and the delirium of the Moulin Rouge starts, choreography of
LADY MARMALADE and CAN CAN.

Between one choreography and another, Zidler announces the Can Can.

TOULOUSE: (to Cris) we managed to bypass Zidler's mission

completed.

On either side of the stage are the two groups of spectators, group Duke.
The Cris group, in the center, girls and guests performing a pantomime.

DUCA: (to Zidler) when will I meet the girl?

ZIDLER: after his number, I organized a special meeting,
only you and mademoiselle Satine, completely alone.
TOLOUSE: (a Cris) after his number I organized a meeting
private just you and madmoiselle Satine, completely alone.
CRIS: alone?
TOLOUSEeZIDLER: they are completely alone.

The audience lets out a cry of astonishment.

TOLOUSE: you are the shining diamond!!

Satin SALE FROM THE HATCH. Silver GLITTER falls.

BALLET 'DIAMONDS ARE A GIRL'S BEST FRIEND'

During the ballet, the two groups of guests approach each other.
A fine ballet Zidler goes to Satine, on the opposite side of the
guests.

TOLOUSE: don't worry, I will prepare the ground.

He slams into a waiter who spills the glass all over the Duke.
SATINE: Is the duke here, Harold?
ZIDLER: has your father ever disappointed you!?
SATINE: where is it?
ZIDLER: that's what Toulouse hands the handkerchief to.
TOLOUSE: (while taking the handkerchief from Cris's jacket) sorry
Can you lend it to me, Cristian?
Are you sure?
Tolouse cleans the Duke with the handkerchief and argues with him.
ZIDLER: let me see… ohhh yes, it’s him, little onion.
SATINE: Do you want to invest?
ZIDLER: little sparrow, after spending the night with you how could it be
refuse.
SATINE: what is her type, shy and defenseless, cheerful and sparkling or
sensual and tempting.
ZIDLER: I would say sensual and tempting. We are counting on you, little rooster.
Don't forget a true show in a real theater, with a real
public and you will be...
SATINE:a true actress.

Satine will give to Cristian

SATINE: I believe you are waiting for me!!

CRIS: Yes!
SATINE: (addressing the audience) She is the woman who chooses gentlemen.
Let's dance.

Satine and Cristian dance together. MOVIE MUSIC THE RHYTHM OF

SATINE: you are kind to take an interest in our little show.

CRIS: it seems exciting I.. I would be happy to be involved.
Really?
CRIS: as long as you like what I do.
SATINE: I'm sure of it.
CRIS: Toulouse said that we could.. do it privately.
Really?
CRIS: that is, a reading... of poetry in private.
SATINE: oohh, a poetry reading, I like a bit of poetry after
dinner!!!

CRIS: duke?
SATINE: not that the title is important, it is clear.
CRIS: I am not a duke.
SATINE: aren't you a duke?
CRIS: I am a writer (the music interrupts like a distortion)
SATINE: a writer?
CRIS: yes, a writer.
SATINE: no!
CRIS:ma Toulouse….
SATINE: Toulouse... oh no.. you won't be another talented one,
fascinating, tragically poor bohemians from Toulouse?!
CRIS: well, let's say yes
SATINE: oh, no I'm going to kill him, I'm going to kill him
TOULOUSE: (from the roof) perhaps there is a tiny obstacle
SATINE: Where is the duke (opens the door) oh, the duke
CRIS: the duke
SATINE: hide! In the back!

Enter Zidler

ZIDLER: My dear, you are presentable for the duke... where were you?
SATINE: I was waiting...

Come to visit me. (Cris hides first behind her, then

DUCA: The pleasure, I fear, will be entirely mine, my dear.
ZIDLER: I leave you to get to know each other better (exits)
A kiss on the hand can be very refined...
SATINE: Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
DUCA: well, after your commendable artistic efforts this evening
You will certainly need to refresh yourselves, my dear.

SATINE: No! Do you... do you think the view is beautiful?
DUCA: enchanting.

DUCA: Love?
He kisses her and signals Cris to run away.
SATINE: I knew you wanted it! Oh duke (Cris stays and watches her
jealous) you are right. We should wait until the evening of the
first
WAIT? WAIT?
SATINE: Your charisma scares me. You must go.
I just arrived.
SATINE: Well, if we will see each other every day at rehearsals, I mean us
we must wait, we must wait until the evening of the first.
Go away.
He kicks the Duke out the door.

She faints
CRIS:oh my God. Satine?
Cris struggles to drag Satine to bed. The Duke enters.
DUCA: I left my hat.....an affair?
SATINE: (as she recovers) oh duke
DUCA: What I feel inside is really a bit strange!
SATINE: beautiful words, duke. Now let me introduce you to the author.
DUCA: the author?
SATINE: yes... we were... we were trying
DUCA: and you would have me believe that so scantily dressed in the arms of
another man, in the middle of the night, inside an elephant,

Enter Toulouse and the rest of the gang
TOLOUSE: how is this test going? Let's start over.
SATINE: while I was talking to you earlier, you kind of...
I was inspired, yes I understood how much work was left to do for tomorrow,
So I called everyone for a special rehearsal.
DUCA: Are you trying to find out where Zidler is?
I didn't want to disturb him.

DUCA: what is the story?
ZIDLER: The story?!
DUCA: if I have to invest, I need to know the history.
ZIDLER: oh... yes... well... the story is about... Toulouse?
TOLOUSE: eh eh eh, well the story goes.....yes.....well...it talks about
CRIS: speaks of love
DUCA: (disgusted) love?
CRIS: of that love that overcomes every obstacle.
TOLOUSE: it takes place in Switzerland.
DUCA: in Switzerland?
ZIDLER: the exotic Switzerland
CRIS: in India, it takes place in India! And there is a courtesan, the most
beautiful courtesan that exists in the world. But her kingdom is being invaded.

plausible excuses to deceive him

CRIS: you must not lie to me
SATINE: (standing up) we have to put an end to this. By now everyone knows,

show and for as much as everything can go wrong, whatever thing
it will happen, when you listen to it or when you sing it, you will whisper
it will mean that you and I love each other.

DUCA: why should the courtesan prefer a musician
squattrinato to the marajah, who is offering her security for everything
life? That is true love. I suggest that the courtesan
choose the maharaja.
TOLOUSE: ma…ma…sorry. an ending does not affirm the bohemian ideals
truth, beauty, freedom, and love.
DUCA: (shouting) I don't care about your ridiculous doctrine!
Why shouldn't the courtesan choose the maharaja?
CRIS: (shouting) because she doesn't love you! (aware of having
wrong)……she doesn't love him……she doesn't love him….she doesn't love him.
DUCA: Now I understand. Monsieur Zidler. This ending must be

We are leaving, me and Cris.

Satine goes backstage and feels unwell, she takes the medicine and
Cristian arrives from backstage.

CRIS: I came to pay the bill.

SATINE: you shouldn't be here Cristian. Go away
CRIS: (strattonandola) you made me believe that you loved me, because
I shouldn't pay you.
SATINE: Please go away. I have to go on stage.
CRIS: if you don't love me and it wasn't true, why shouldn't I pay you?
SATINE: Please go away.....(the two struggle a bit, she in
tears)
CRIS: tell me that you don't love me! ... tell me!

The scenery suddenly expands and the two behave

as if they had suddenly found themselves on stage. Discomfort. The
Duca will be seated in the audience as if he were a real spectator.

CRIS: (looking at the duke in the audience) this woman is yours now.
I paid my prostitute! I don't owe you anything. (almost crying)
And you are nothing to me anymore! Thank you for healing me from my
ridiculous obsession with love. (go away descending the stairs of the
stage. Stops in front of the Duke, looks at him, and leaves.

ZIDLER: (as if continuing the show) that musician

doesn't love you. Did you see? leave the kingdom! (he approaches her and gives her
whispers) better this way my little doll, better this way.

walking backwards) the biggest thing you can learn is
