Andrew Lloyd Webber - At The Stage Door

Copied!

{ROSE}
Have I changed?

{ALEX}
No, not at all

{ROSE}
You're too polite, this face has had its day

{ALEX}
Don't be so silly

{ROSE}
Is it General Alex yet?

{ALEX}
I hardly think so!

{ROSE}
Two weeks without a script or camera
I can't believe it!
And then another mad-capped movie
With Monsieur Cocteau
George is sweet
He says I'm like his favourite Jurançon
Very strong and beautiful
But hardly very sweet or subtle
And not too heady

{ALEX}
His head must be extremely strong then
I'm drunk already
What a life!

{ROSE}
You're telling me!

{ALEX}
What does Jenny make of all this fame?

{ROSE}
Ask her yourself

{ALEX}
Do you think I ought to come?

{ROSE}
My darling you've become so bourgeois
We'll have to change that

The same old Alex
I should be flattered
You're never one to let a chance slip by

{ALEX}
I'll never understand you 'til the day I die

{BOTH}
I'm sorry
