Finale Act 1.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. June 2001.

[Girls] Gentle airs, courtly manners,
grace the Court of France.

These airs and these courtly manners
come from Paris.

Do not cry for Versailles,
while you're in Louisiana.
This is a royal dance!

[Men] We know the new cottillion dance!

[Alexander enters with bowl. The men line up to draw numbers]

[Girls] Oh, gentlemen,
no gentlemen act like this in a dance!

[Men] We fall in line,
we're all in line hoping to win a dance.

[Girls] Dance with Marianne
and know the bliss of her sweet kiss!

[Beaunoir to Ribaud spoken] "Monsieur,
why do you not take your chance with the others?"....

[Girls sing] Who is this young Cavalier?
Who is he that ventures here now?

[Alexander speaks] "Put your right hand in, Monsieur"....

[Dialogue over music]
[Marianne spoken] "To you, monsieur, a stranger,
I grant the privilege of the victor, a dance."

[Robert spoken] "And a kiss?"
[Marianne spoken] "And a kiss."

[Robert spoken] "And I want one more privilege..."
[Marianne amused spoken] "What is that?"

[Robert spoken] "Before I kiss, mademoiselle,
I want to talk to her for five minutes alone!"

[Duval spoken] "I'm afraid that is irregular,
Monsieur!"
[Marianne] "Monsieur, I grant your request!"

[All start to exit]

Girls sing] If I were only sure,
such good fortune could be mine,

I think I would rush up,
and seize my prize divine.

[All exit, Marianne and Robert are alone]
