Original Broadway Cast of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
The Miracle
[CHRISTINE]
And when it seems
Your hopes and dreams
Are on the run again
Bad luck has won again
And it won't stop-
The clouds wil part
And you will start
To see the sun again
And life's a ball, you're standing tall
You've found your way back to the
Top-
Breath in and taste the ocean
Breeze
Look at the way the leaves are
Dancing in the banyan trees
Listen to what they are singing to
You-
Nothing is too wonderful-
[FREDDY]
Nothing is too wonderful-
[CHRISTINE/FREDDY]
Nothing is too wonderful to be-
(Down in the hotel lobby, Andre whispers to a Bellboy)
[ANDRE, spoken]
Psst
Psst
(Meanwhile, back in the hotel suite...)
[CHRISTINE, spoken]
Oh, Sergeant Benson it will happen. You'll see
[FREDDY, spoken]
Gosh, Sergeant Benson just sounds so formal. Please, call me Buzz
[CHRISTINE, spoken]
Alright...Buzz
(Christine runs down to the hotel lobby and moves to the front desk)
[CHRISTINE, spoken]
Excuse me! Pardom me! Please!
I have to mail this urgent letter
Overnight to Vienna!
[BELLBOY, spoken]
Paging the doctor...
Paging Dr. Shuffhausen-
Paging Dr. Emil Shuffhausen-
Of Vienna
(Christine stops in surprise and runs back to Freddy in her hotel suite)
[ENSEMBLE]
Nothing is too wonderful
[CHRISTINE, spoken]
Buzz!
[ENSEMBLE]
Nothing is too wonderful
[CHRISTINE, spoken]
You'll never guess!
[ENSEMBLE]
Oo oo oo oo Wonderful!
[CHRISTINE, spoken]
Buzz, who is the one person in the entire world you would most like to see at this moment?
[FREDDY], spoken
Uh! Umm... Grandma?!
[CHRISTINE, spoken]
Better! Presenting Dr. Emil Shuffhausen!
(Lawrence enters with a smile, a Viennese accent, and a new disguise)
[LAWRENCE, spoken]
Good evening, Sergeant Benson
[ENSEMBLE]
Ahh!
