A wager and a waltz.

VANCE
Well..
(he sings)
What did he think?
What did he say?
Wasn’t my performance enough to make him stay?
Will he return,
A new driven man?
Won’t he be my little lamb?
Doesn’t he know who I am?
Brandy and Vance begin to dance the waltz.

BRANDY
Vance, dance with me.
Tell me why you seek him so.
Flushed is your face and your eyes aglow.
I haven’t seen you like this, since along time ago.

VANCE

They dance.
La La La La La La La
La la la la la la

VANCE & BRANDY

When it’s so cold, it’s so cold, and it’s so very cold dear
Icicle bones upon bones caving in burning out here
Come stoke the fire and watch the world glow
The boy on the pyre sings on with the show.
And he sings, on with the show.

The kittens are crying the lambs are asleep
This industry’s dying, it’s spoiling meat.
Every song is the same, we’re on repeat.
Every dance is the same, we’re on repeat.
Everything is the same, we’re on repeat.
I’m a dwindling flame, unless the boy brings the heat.
Light that fire, light it for me.


Bridge:
What I’m sayin is gee we’re really outta shape,
Gotta mold that clay and set it to bake.
Once he’s done we can do with him whatever we like,
We’re on top, at the ritz, and it’s the fourth reich.
Gotta go for the gold before the gold rushes us.
He’s our golden ticket, but he’s on the wrong bus.
He’s a bull-headed, but I’m a cowboy,
NO need for analogy, you get the point.

BRANDY
Bridge continued:
Ohh Vance I just don’t know,
He seems a sweet kid, with an honest soul so,
Why then should I stoop so low,
What do I get for being so shallow?

VANCE
Brandy Darling Dance with me,
And listen to my words,
You’ll Rise from ashes to build a new Empire, it’s a wonderful life,
Problems behind you, a celebrity too, that’s you.
That’s you.
That’s you.
You’ll play his wife.

Missus Jeremiah Humble
Can I get you anything?
Missus Jeremiah Humble
What an awfully lovely ring
And Your eyes are like opals inside VANCE BRANDY
A castle made of beautiful brains.
*(on one)Missus Jeremiah Humble
*(on four) Missus Jeremiah Humble
Can I, Missus Jeremiah Humble
Missus Jeremiah Humble
Would you, Missus Jeremiah Humble
Missus Jeremiah Humble
Do you like the sound of that?
That’s you.
Brandy is in a sort of trance. Mesmerized.
BRANDY VANCE
He will rise, I’m beside him. La la la la la la la
I will rise, I’m beside him. La la la la la la.
Now I see so clearly La la la la la la la
He will be mine. La la la la la la
He will be mine He will be mine
He will be mine. He will be mine
