PARTY TIME!

(Connor and Rosette welcome people to the party)

(Music in the background)
The world for me is now a better place
You show your strength in everything you do.
It’s good for me and all the human race
And know for sure it’s all because of you.
(People of all ages are going in and dancing)

Connor
I see that a certain young man has come,
But I don’t know the girl at his side.

Rosette
I recall that we met
At the office a few weeks ago.
A strike meeting was called
But the boss came and told us to go.

Mark
Yes, I saw you that day,
And since then my life has been turned upside down.
Now we’re here, and I must say
You look great in that beautiful gown!

Catherine
I agree, Mark is right
You look simply amazing tonight.
Like the stars, shining bright!
(Noise from inside as the music stops)

Mark
When I first saw you, I could not believe my eyes,
You were more than I deserved, you gave me hope.
Since then my life has only gone one way, that’s down
A slippery slope!
(The music starts again)

Rosette
Come what may, who can say,
You’re about to learn something today!

Catherine
He means well, has a heart,
Since he saw you he’s fallen apart!
Given time, bold as brass,
He will show that he’s not such an ass!

Rosette
First of all, let me say…

Connor
Sweetheart, don’t let me stand in your way.

Rosette
There’s something you should know
I think this confession will come as a blow.
Three, two, one…here we go…

Connor
Please do not say anything that you’ll regret,
It can’t be that bad, surely, and you’re still young yet!

Mark
For God’s sake just tell us, and don’t delay.

Rosette
All right…I’m gay!
That’s the fact, now you know
There’s no question of which way I go!
I’m afraid as you see
There’s no chance of you being with me.
Tell you what, even more,
Catherine is the one I adore!
(Mark faints)

Catherine
Oh my God! News to me!
Maybe this is my real destiny!

Rosette
Take my hand, make my day,
After the party we’ll go and play
!
Connor
All at last, come to light,
Can’t be much more that happens tonight!
(Connor gives Rosette a hug)
And my sweet, as for you
I am happy with all that you do.
Come Catherine, Come Rosette
This is one day I’ll never forget!
(They disappear into the party)
