Here We Are Original Cast - End of Act One Lyrics

[A distant gunshot is heard.]

[PAUL, spoken]
What was that?

[LEO, spoken]
Maybe another waiter

[FRITZ, spoken]
That was the sound of the revolution

[CLAUDIA, spoken]
That was the sound of the city

[CLAUDIA]
If it's not some alarm
It's a backfire

[LEO]
Either that or the blatt
Of a horn

[RAFFAEL]
It's but one of the joys
Of the city: the noise—

[WINDSOR]
Sir, as sure as the day I was born
That was a shot

[All spoken voices overlapping.]

[FRITZ, spoken]
Listen! The revolution is starting!

[MARIANNE, spoken]
How exciting! Let's go see!

[PAUL, spoken]
Maybe it was a gunshot...

[CLAUDIA, spoken]
A gunshot in this neighborhood?

[RAFFAEL, spoken]
Absolutely absurd!

[LEO, spoken]
It's the city, what's the big deal?

[COLONEL MARTIN, spoken]
I think I know what a gunshot sounds like

[BISHOP, spoken]
My Lord, how terrible—!

[SOLDIER, spoken]
But Fritz, who cares what it was!

[PAUL]
I told you—
Something's happening
Something's going on...

[FRITZ, spoken]
Come on, Inferno. Come on!

[MARIANNE, spoken]
Oh, it's not the end of the world, Fritzie!

[FRITZ, spoken]
This time it is!

[WINDSOR, spoken]
Dinner is served!

[CLAUDIA, spoken]
Oh! Food!

[LEO]
Ladies and gents
Let's do it fast
We thank you, Lord
For food at last—

[PAUL]
And just to make the day complete:
To you—

[BISHOP]
To you—

[CLAUDIA]
To you—

[MARIANNE]
To you—

[LEO]
To you—

[RAFFAEL]
To you—

[COLONEL MARTIN]
To you—

[SOLDIER]
To you—

[WINDSOR's cellphone rings.]

[WINDSOR, spoken, sotto voce into his phone]
Inferno here

[FRITZ, spoken]
You? You're Inferno?

[WINDSOR, spoken]
Bon appetit, Apocalypse
Do enjoy your evening

[LEO, spoken]
Let's eat!

[ALL EXCEPT FRITZ]
What a perfect day!

[Sirens and gunfire followed by a large explosion.]
