Quartet

Thank you, ladies.

Octavia's usual spot.

- Is that OK for you?

- Yes.

Brindisi

# Oh, ooohhhhhhhh! #

# La-la-la-la-la,

la-la-la-la-lah, lah... #

# Godiamo, la tazza,

la tazza e il cantico

# La notte abbella e il riso... #

#... in questo, in questo paradiso

# Ne scopra il nuovo di

# Ah! Ah! Ne scopra il di

# Ah! Ah! Ne scopra il di

# Ahhhh

# Ne scopra il di, ne scopra il nuovo

# Diiii! #

# Siiii! #

Nowhere near where you should be, Bobby.

Give me the score, will you?

Wilf, the gala's only a month away.

I couldn't work out

what you were doing.

Can we take it from the top, please?

# Ah, si, godiamo, godiamo, godiamo

# La tazza e il cantico... #

Bobby, you're going

too fast for me.

- I'm sorry, Cedric.

- It's 'Cee-dric'.

Oh, Cee-dric. Could you give me

the intro again, please?

# Ah, si, godiamo... #

You did it again! I'm on fire here

and you're holding me back!

Be quiet!

You find this amusing. I don't!

It won't be amusing

if they shut this place down.

# Ah, si, godiamo, godiamo, godiamo,

la tazza e il cantico... #

Thank you, Nigel. You are so kind

to do that. Thank you. Now stop, please.

- # Godiamo... #

- The man said thank you. That's it.

- Is there no end to your bloody talent?

- Cissy! Please... pay... attention.

- Ready.

- You must listen.

Never bother with him, Cissy.

He's a bully.

Now, Lottie, in bars 17, 18 and 19,

you were deeply flat.

No, I don't think I was.

I think the piano needs tuning.

Anne, darling,

would you mind singing it for us?

I don't do chorus, Cedric. I never have.

I achieved immediate

international success at the Royal Opera

when I was only 21 years old.

Cedric, we should have been

using this room five minutes ago.

Oh, yeah.

The space is entirely yours, gentlemen.

The rehearsals are over. Come on, Bobby.

Come on. Hurry up.

# Ahhh, la-la

# Dee-dee-dee, dee-dee-dee

# Da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da,

da-da, dee-dee-dee

# Dee-dee

# Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

# Ah-ah-ahhhh

# Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-ohhhh

# Ohhhh. #

Beautiful.

You're making a fool of my part.

Reggie, it's empty.

You can't save seats, Reg.

He's not coming.

- Wilf, he's not coming.

- Why now?

You seem to think

that you own the thing.

We've been sitting at this table

since I first came here.

- That's precisely the point.

- It's not fair, Reggie.

We want the window

sometimes, don't we?

Yes. If this place has to shut down

in six months, which it very well might,

then I want to try and remember

I once had a fucking window seat.

Excuse me, please.

You can't deny it, Wilf,

you soloists would be lost without us.

Say that once more, and I swear

I'll ram a fork up yourjacksy, Harry.

- He's right, Wilf.

- Anybody got a fork?

- And you know he is.

- Make that two forks.

Ah, merci, Angelique. Have you

done something new to your hair?

- No, I just put my fringe in front.

- Oh, I love your fringe in front.

I give you extra slice

of fried bread this morning.

- I noticed.

- And your favourite - apricot jam.

Oh. Magnifique, Angelique.

Fancy vous a little rumpy-pumpy

ce soir?

Qu'est-ce que c'est,

'rumpy-pumpy'?

Oh, secrets of the marriage bed,

you'll have to answer my proposal

at once.

Bon apptit.

- Cissy, Cissy!

- Ready.

- Remember the emergency meeting, 12:15.

- Cedric. Cedric.

- Breakfast time.

- This is critical.

All members of the gala committee,

please note,

we have a serious problem

with our star tenor, Frank White.

As such, there's an emergency meeting

at 12 noon - precisely.

Reggie, don't forget to remind me.

I'll set my watch.

Hey, what's this? Look.

- Didn't you say today was the day, Reg?
