DANI- okay guys coffee break over, everybody move your furry little butts back here
MISTO- Darn, I thought she was going to forget about us!
DANI- Aww don't worry, we fanfic writers NEVER forget about our characters
VICKY- How is that a good thing?
DANI- Do you guys want to go back to MISTO?
VICKY- *Gulp*
MISTO- We'll be good
MUNKU- Let's just get this over with.
(Herr Asparaschutlz and Frauline Jellneider are talking about the party last night, Herr Asparaschutlz says he was drinking to much to really remember anything that happened. She's worried about getting married Herr Asparaschultz says it will all turn out alright)
GUS- And the old dispair
that was often there
suddenly ceases to be
and you wake up one day
look around and say
"Somebody wonderful married..."
(Tugger throws a brick through the window of the fruit shop, with a loud CRASH)
DEM- MACAVITY!
MAC- What?
DANI- No Dem that was just the window
DEM- Ooops sorry ( innocent smile)
GUS (spoken)- It is nothing! Kittens on their way to school, mischievious kitttens nothing more! I assure you! School kittens
CASS- Gee you think it was kittens?
GUS- young and full of mischief, you understand?
JELLY- (spoken) I understand
(Now Tugger goes on stage with a gorilla, actully Pounce in a gorrila costume)
POUNCE- I can't belive I'm doing this
DANI- Call it type casting
TUGGER- I know what you're thinking,
you wonder why I chose her
out of all the queens in the world
POUNCE- (muffled by costume) I'm not a queen! I'm not even a gorilla!
TUGGER- That's just a first impression
What goods a first impression?
If you knew her like I do
you would change your point of view
DEM- No I think the inter-species relationships would still be gross
TUGGER- How can I speak of her virtues
I don't know where to begin
She's clever she's smart ,she reads music
She doesn't smoke or drink gin ( like I do)
Yet, when we're walking toghter
They sneer if I'm holding her hand
But if they could see her through my eyes
maybe they would understand
(Spoken) Mein Damen und herren masdames et Monsiuers, Ladies and gentlemen
DANI- (shoots a glare at Victoria who whistle innocently)
TUGGER- Is to fall in love a crime?
Can we ever tell where the heart leads us?
DEM- This is actully kind of sweet!
DANI- Just wait....
TUGGER- All we are asking is a little understanding
Why can't the world Liben und leben lassen...
Live and let live
(sung) I understand your objection,
I know the problems not small
But if you could see her thorugh my eyes
(spoken) She wouldn't look jewish at all
DEM- " this is sweet" retracted.
DANI- you can always tell the sickos in the theater when the whole place is silent and like two people in the back actually
laugh at that line.
(Cliff learns that Frauline Jellneider has cancled the engadgement to Herr Asparshutlz and confronts her about it)
MUNKU- Frauline Jellneider you can't give up like that!
CASS- Yeah, we have to grin and bear our way through these parodies why should she get to take the easy way out?
JELLY- Oh yes I can! it's easy for you to say! Fight! and if you fail what does it matter... you go to Paris
And if you do not like Paris, where? But if you were me
(sung) Time is rushing by
What would you do?
the clock is running out
What would you do?
Being Brave,
Being sure
and free imagine if you were me
Alone like me
This is the only world I know
some rooms to let
the sum of a lifetime even so
DEM- which is actully kinda pathetic
JELLY- I'll take your advice
What would you do?
Would you pay the price?
What would you do?
Suppose simply keeping still
means you manage until
the end
MUNGO- The end?
DANI- No!
CATS- Darnit
JELLY- What would you do my brave young friend?
With a storm in the wind
what would you do?
suppose you're one frightened voice
being told what the choice must be
Go on tell me
I will listen
what would you do
If you were me?
(Sally get offered her job back at the Kit-Cat club but with all this going on Clifford Munkshaw decides he and Sally are
going back to the states even thoguh she doesn't want to)

MISTO- (blowing on a party favor and spinning a noise maker) Huh?
RUMPLE- Can't we just stay a little longer....
MUNKU- NO! You sit down and pack right now, when I come back you better be ready to go.
MUNGO- 'EY! Don' talk to Rumple loike that!
(Sally starts to back her bags and The Emcee goes up to the mike and sings)
TUGGER- I don't care much
go or stay
I don't care much
either way
Hearts grown hard on a windy street
Lips grow cold
with a rent to meet
So if you kiss me
if we touch
warnings fair
I don't care much
VICKY- I care if we ever finish this parody let's speed it up!!
TUGGER-
I don't care much
go or stay
I don't care much either way
Words sound false
When your coats to thin
Paws don't watlz
when roof cave in
if we touch
warnings fair
I don't care very much
(Cliff meets Mistwig at the Kit-Cat club and they have a huge fight that results in him getting his tail kicked)

(Cliff goes back to the apratment to meet Sally but she's not there, she come in looking rather sick and without her cherished fur coat)
