[MEG]
Mother, did you watch?
Everything is sold
Mother, can't you tell the new routine
It went so well?

I was worried just a touch
That it might have been too much
Just a bit, well, rather free

But just listen to that crowd
Why, they've never been so loud!
Screaming only for me

[MADAME GIRY, spoken]
Meg—

[MEG]
And the master must have heard
Every note and every word
Mother, tell me, did he see?

[MADAME GIRY, spoken]
Meg, stop it

[MEG]
Even he will now concede
I'm the only he'll need—
[MEG, spoken]
Mother, what's wrong?

[MADAME GIRY]
Meg, sweet fool
You did all that you could
Charming, bright
And yet still not enough

[MEG, spoken]
Wh-what do you mean?

[MADAME GIRY]
How you danced
They're all entranced
Yes, all but the one
Whose entrancement we sought

[MEG, spoken]
He wasn't there?

[MADAME GIRY]
Where, poor girl
Do you think that he was?
Yes, that's right
In with her all along
[MEG, spoken]
With Christine?

[MADAME GIRY]
Claiming of their son they love
Too smitten to spare you
One moment of thought

[MEG, spoken]
But you said—

[MADAME GIRY]
All that you gave him
It's all been a waste

[MEG, spoken]
You're wrong!

[MADAME GIRY]
All that you've done
It has all been a waste

[MEG, spoken]
Don't say that!

[MADAME GIRY]
Now he has them
As for us
We have both been replaced
[MEG, spoken]
No!
