Sorry I’m late, Ms. Pennywise. I was up all night thinking, is all.

55
Q

Pennywise: Up all night thinking, is it?! You work here now, Bobby, you don’t need to go in the bushes anymore.

A

I wasn’t–

56
Q

Pennywise: Like father, like son, that’s what i say. Now get to work.

A

But it was about my father that I was thinking, Ms. Pennywise. About what happened to him yesterday. About what’s happening to all of us.

57
Q

Pennywise: He broke the law yesterday, Bobby, and that’s the end of it.

A

But what is the law is wrong?

58
Q

Pennywise: What did you say?

A

I said, what if the law is wrong, Ms. Pennywise?! What if all this is wrong?!

59
Q

Josephine: I am

A

Ma!

60
Q

Josephine: Here’s all I have, Bobby. Is it enough?

A

You hold on to that money, Ma.

61
Q

Pennywise: The fee is the law, Bobby Strong. She’ll abide by it or she’ll join her husband.

A

And what if there was a new law in town, Ms. Pennywise? A new law that didn’t come from any voting process or elected body or process of judicial review, but a brand-new law that came from an organ. That’s right, a muscular, blood pumping organ. Like this one. Right here

62
Q

Pennywise: A muscular organ?

A

Can’t you see it, Ms. Penny wise? Well, if this one’s too small for you, why not try this one on for size?!

63
Q

Pennywise: Don’t do this, Bobby. You’ll regret it.

A

I don’t think so. C’mon, Ma. This one’s on the house. For everyone! Forever!

64
Q

Act 1, Scene 6

A

One at a time! One at a time! Everyone will get a turn!

65
Q

Soupy Sue: Here’s some cash, Bobby. Just for you.

A

Keep your cash, friend. And relieve yourself in happiness.

66
Q

Josephine: A busy day so far. Busiest on record, if your books are right. How’s the urinal holding out?

A

A little spillage, nothing to be concerned about. The people are happy, that’s the main thing.

67
Q

Robby the Stockfish: Run!

A

Wait! Wait! Please, everyone, remain calm!

68
Q

Lockstock: It’ll take a lot of explaining to keep us calm, Bobby Strong

A

We’ve taken control of this amenity, officers. The people here pee for free

69
Q

Hope: Bobby?!

A

Hope?!

70
Q

Hope: What are you doing, Bobby?! I told you to follow your heart, not season amenity!

A

I did follow my heart, Hope. Thanks to you.

71
Q

Penny: The amenity won’t take much more of this uprising, Cladwell. Bobby’s a sweet boy, but not sweet enough to sweeten the spillage, not by a long shot.

A

The amenity will take as much as it has to, Ms. Pennywise. The days of deprivation are over for these people.

72
Q

The Poor: Ooooo!

A

Sure, Mr. Cladwell, that’s what you’ve been saying for 20 years. And for 20 years we’ve waited for the long-term solutions that never came. Well, we’re done waiting, you see, for a new day has dawn today. A day of hope and happiness when the idea of human dignity is more than a forgotten notion but a living, breathing reality. A day – this day – when the people pee for free, because the people are free!

73
Q

Penny: Uh, perhaps best to stay back here with your father, Hope dear. The police will want to charge soon.

A

Your father?

74
Q

Cladwell: Officer Lockstock! Prepare your…man

A

Everybody into the amenity! We’ll be… relatively safer in there!

75
Q

Hope: Oh, Bobby, why didn’t you tell me you were going to start a revolution?

A

Maybe for the same reason you didn’t tell me you were a Cladwell.

76
Q

Hope: I’m the same girl I was last night.

A

The girl last night would’ve joined us by now, Hope.

77
Q

Hope: I can’t fight against my father, Bobby

A

And I can’t not fight against him. So you can join us or you can stand aside.

78
Q

Hope: Stand aside?

A

You heard me.

79
Q

Cladwell: Now release the girl. It’s time you faced your punishment like a man.

A

Release?! No one‘s holding–

80
Q

Hope: So what will it be, Bobby?

A

Looks like we are in a real tight spot, doesn’t it?

81
Q

Hope: Your fellow revolutionaries seem to think so.

A

I suppose we should leave.

82
Q

Old Man Strong: Remember me, boys! Oh God, what have I done?! Remember me!!! (2)

A

Not without you, they won’t. Which is why you’re coming with us.

83
Q

Hope: Coming with you? I told you, Bobby, I won’t fight against my father.

A

And I told you I won’t not fight against him.

84
Q

Bobby: [sung] Sing of today! (Second time)

A

Keep your men back, Cladwell! We’ve got your daughter and we are not letting her go!

85
Q

Josephine: In the name of the sky, you’re coming with us!

A

We’re walking out of here, Mr. Cladwell, and you’re going to let us! That is, if you care about your daughter.

86
Q

Penny: Let the girl go, Bobby, she’s done nothing wrong!

A

Don’t let go of the girl. And follow me!

87
Q

Penny: Help her!

A

Now run, everybody! Run for your lives! RUN!!

88
Q

Josephine: That was a close one, Bobby. I thought Barrel saw us there for sure.

A

We’ll have to keep on our toes, Ma. At least until we’ve distributed the rest of these memos to the other assistant custodians around the city.

89
Q

Josephine: Do you think they’ll join us?

A

Hard to say. They’re scared like we used to be scared , but if it’s true what they say about everyone having a heart, they’ll have to join us.

90
Q

Josephine: Your heart is like a stallion?

A

I’ll explain along the way, Ma. C’mon, let’s go.

91
Q

Becky Two-Shows: Kill her!

A

Enough!

92
Q

Little Sally: Bobby Strong.

A

No one’s going to be a killing anyone around here.

93
Q

Soupy Sue: But we’re so afraid, Bobby. Killing her might make us feel powerful for a moment.

A

Friends, I know you’re afraid. But this has got to be about more than just revenge and the vicarious thrill of stringing someone up who can’t defend herself.

94
Q

Little Sally: I think he’s just in love with her, that’s what I think.

A

Maybe I am.

95
Q

All: Whaa-?

A

And maybe I made a promise up there. A promise that from this day forward, no man would be denied his essential humanity due to the condition of his pocketbook. That no man in need would be ignored by another with the means to help him. Here and now, from this day forward, because of you, and you, and you, we will look into the faces of our fellow men and see not only a brother, but a sister as well.

96
Q

Becky two shoes: all I remember him saying was “Run! Run for your lives! Run!”

A

Well, that was in the heat of the battle. And in the heat – the actual hotness of battle – the cry of freedom sounds something like

97
Q

Tiny Tom: im frightened!

A

As well you should be. Freedom is scary; it’s a blast of cool wind that burns your face to wake you up.

98
Q

Tiny Tom: Literally?!

A

Yes.

99
Q

Josephine: The police will be on the lookout for us, that’s for sure.

A

When the time comes, we fight the police!

100
Q

Soupy Sue: But how?!

A

With blood! Guts! Brains, if we have to! It may take years! And some of us will almost certainly not make it through the revolution alive! Maybe all of us! But fight on we will, for all the decades necessary, to claim freedom for the people of this land!!

101
Q

Penny: I’ve got a real plan.

A

Whaa-?! Ms. Pennywise? How did you find us?

102
Q

Penny: I had a feeling you’d be here. No one knows the sewer system like you do, Bobby.

A

Or you.

103
Q

Penny: Cladwell would like to talk to you, Bobby.

A

What about?

104
Q

Mr. Cladwell doesn’t wanna fight, Ms. Strong. He just wants his amenities up and running, smooth and natural. That’s all he’s ever wanted.

A

What do you think, Little Sally?

105
Q

Little Sally: I think it might be difficult for your love to grow with Hope tied to that chair for the rest of her life.

A

All right, I’ll go.

106
Q

Josephine: Bobby, no! What if it’s a trick?!

A

That’s just a chance I’ll have to take.

107
Q

Penny: Sure, I’ll tell him. Likewise with the girl. Give it to her and we give it to him. Get me?

A

We’ll be careful.

108
Q

Hope: Hello, Bobby.

A

Hello, Hope.

109
Q

Hope: So this is a bright, new day you were telling me about.

A

I don’t blame you for being angry with me, Hope. But your father gave us no choice.

110
Q

Hope: They may not have taught me much at the Most Expensive University in the World, but they taught me this much: kidnapping people is wrong.

A

Really? They taught you that there?

111
Q

Hope: I thought we had something special together, Bobby.

A

We do have something special together, Hope. But until freedom rules the people of this land instead of fear, love has about as much chance as a baby bunny drowning in about a boiling water.

112
Q

Hope: Maybe less.

A

I didn’t mean to drag you into all this, Hope.

113
Q

Hope: And I didn’t mean to… Oh, I guess I don’t know what I meant to do.

A

Look to your heart, Hope. I think the answer to what you want is waiting for you there, deep down, somewhere among the tissues.

114
Q

Cladwell: You’ve caused a lot of excitement over the past few days, Mister Strong. Got an a lot of people riled up

A

This is just the beginning, Mr. Cladwell. The people have only just begun to fight.

115
Q

Cladwell: Keeping my daughter confined against your will – is that how the people fight?

A

They fight by any means necessary.

116
Q

Milleneum: The streets are still ours, Mister Strong. Your people are just holed up in some underground sewer.

A

They’ll be up.

117
Q

Cladwell: But the truth is, I am no more evil than you or Ms. Pennywise or any of those poor people you insist on trying to lead. I am only a simple man trying to cling to tomorrow. Every day. By any means necessary.

A

And what happens when the drought is over?

118
Q

Cladwell: Well, we can always hope, I suppose. But until then or regimen of controlling consumption through the regulating mechanism of cash must continue.

A

Ah yes, the regulating mechanism of cash.

119
Q

Cladwell: Bobby, I want you to have his cash… Don’t let it happen again, and have a good time in Rio.

A

So many tomorrows.

120
Q

Cladwell: Yes.

A

But I’m afraid my conscious will cost more than a pile of cash, Mister Cladwell.

121
Q

Penny: Bobby, it really is an awful lot of cash.

A

Free access is the only “cash” I’m interested in.

122
Q

Cladwell: I thought we had an understanding, Bobby.

A

Then understand this: if there truly is a way to that bright, new day, we’ll find it together. All of us, not just the wealthy few. And that means free access.

123
Q

Cladwell: Free access is impossible.

A

Then that’s what I’ll tell the people.

124
Q

Cladwell: To Urinetown with him, then! With all haste, Officer Lockstock! With all haste!

A

You lied to us Cladwell! CLADWELL!

125
Q

Fipp: [Sung] Why did I listen to that crook?

A

You lie to us, Cladwell! You told us one thing, then you did another! That’s what you did, Cladwell! That’s what you did!

126
Q

Lockstock: Come on then, Young Bobby. You can’t keep screaming all the way down to Urinetown.

A

But Hope, she still with the others. What happens to me happens to her.

127
Q

Barrel: Rather later than sooner, I’d say.

A

But not to Hope! Oh, please, not to Hope!

128
Q

Hope: [sung] Why did I listen to that boy?

A

So what’s it like, this Urinetown I’ve heard so much about?

129
Q

Barrel: Perhaps better for us to “shows” you.

A

What’s this? Where are we?

130
Q

Lockstock: The door is in front of you. Step through and Urinetown awaits.

A

Door? More like… A railing. And pigeons. A rooftop?

131
Q

Lockstock: A decisive drop.
