[GRANDHOMME (MAN 2)] (sung)
NOW, WHAT CAN HE WANT WITH A WOMAN LIKE HER?

[GRANDHOMME (WOMAN 2)]
BLACKER THAN COAL AND LOW AS DIRT!

[GRANDHOMME (WOMAN 1)]
HE COULD HAVE THE WORLD BUT TAKES A PEASANT!

[GRANDHOMME (MAN 2)]
PERHAPS HIS BRAIN WAS HURT!

[SERVANT (MAMA EURALIE)]
LOOK HOW SHE HOLDS HIM —

[SERVANT (MAN 1)]
— AND TOUCHES AND ATTENDS HIM

[SERVANT (TONTON JULIAN)]
THE BOY BELIEVES SHE CAN MAKE HIM WELL...

[SERVANTS, & GRANDHOMMES]
AND SHE HAS HIM IN A SPELL

[TI MOUNE] (spoken)
I have a gift for you.
[DANIEL BEAUXHOMME]
What is it?

[TI MOUNE]
A charm. If you wear it next to your heart, it will make you whole again.

[DANIEL]
You are my charm. Without you, I could never be whole again.

[TI MOUNE]
I will never leave you, Daniel.

[GRANDHOMME (WOMAN 2)] (sung)
NOW, WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF A PEASANT LIKE HER?

[GRANDHOMME (WOMAN 2)]
PUTTING ON AIRS WITHOUT A DOUBT!

[GRANDHOMME (MAN 2)]
WHEN THE BOY IS WELL AND DOES NOT NEED HER —

[SERVANTS, & GRANDHOMMES]
— HOW SOON HE'LL THROW HER OUT

[DANIEL] (spoken)
Soon, I'll be dancing!
[TI MOUNE]
And I'll dance with you! But for now, walk slowly, Daniel.

[DANIEL]
Then you must walk even more slowly.

[TI MOUNE]
Why?

[DANIEL]
So I can catch you!

[FATHER (ARMAND)]
Daniel.

[DANIEL]
Father.

[FATHER (ARMAND)] (sung)
HOW LONG DO YOU THINK YOU'LL BE PLAYING THIS GAME?

[DANIEL] (spoken)
This is no game.

[FATHER (ARMAND)] (sung)
SURELY YOU CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S REAL?
[DANIEL] (spoken)
I'm in love with Ti Moune!

[FATHER (ARMAND)] (sung)
YOU ARE NOT THE FIRST TO WANT A PEASANT
I, TOO, KNOW THEIR APPEAL...

BUT YOU ARE MY SON
YOU'LL DO WHAT MUST BE DONE
NO MATTER WHAT YOU FEEL!

[GRANDHOMME (MAN 2)]
I KNOW WHAT HE SEES IN A PEASANT LIKE HER...

[GRANDHOMME (WOMAN 2)]
PROBABLY MAKES HIM RISE LIKE YEAST!

[SERVANTS]
WELL, THE GIRL MAY THINK SHE'S VERY CLEVER

[GRANDHOMMES]
THE BOY MAY KEEP HER HERE FOREVER

[SERVANTS, & GRANDHOMMES]
BUT I CAN TELL YOU THIS: THEY'LL NEVER
STAND BEFORE A PRIEST!
