Geese for Rent

La Vie Honk-Honk

(La Vie Boheme Reprise from Rent)

(scene: Two bounders in their hideout, waiting for orders)

Armand: Are we packed?

Dewhurst: And by the way, I want you to be -- (Blakeney enters with Rest of Bounders)

Armand: Percy!

Elton: And you should see -- we pulled off the rescue and there's choas at La Place Guillotine

CHAUVELIN called in guards

Armand: Mon dieu!

Elton: they don't know what they're doing

We just set loose the geese

And no one's moving --they're just sitting there -- honking!

All: Yaaaay!

(in the choas, the people begin their own song)

mob: To France!

Executioner: A way to make a living, execution, termination

Innocent or malefactor, shortened by the national razor!

mob: DAAM!

Chauvelin: jacobins, tedium, no evidence, consternation

dark clothes, too much poultry, heroes, sneaky english spies and GEESE.

mob: (toward pit) Music!

Guy in pit orchestra: Straining with emotion, trumpet fanfares, violins and

rhythym, feeling, power, harmony and lots of good vibration!

mob: Guillotines!

Marie: Revolution; Percy screaming for solution

Forcing changes, risking danger risking necks and risking lives!

Bounders: To gypsies, Cossacks, priests

Bounder dressed as woman: cross-dressers too

Marie: To me?

Armand: To ME!

Percy (to audience): To you, to you, to you, you, and you.

Leaguers: to people living with, living with, living with, and living for SP!

Evil French People: And none among us can predict, not a soul can foretell --

Leaguers & Bounders: La Pimpernel! La Pimpernel!

Chauvelin: The problem with this war isn't geese --

Smart Aleck Bounder : It's an obsession!

Bounders: (woo!)

La Pimpernel --

Bounder & Leaguers,( very loudly): Viva La Pimpernel!
