It's been three months.

Even a word from him, just one.

First I must find the stage manager,
my dressing room, the musical director.
Then we'll go look for our friend
and go see the island.
I'm sure he'll send
for you when he's ready.
Excuse me, miss, would you mind?
Heaven help me, could it be?
No, it couldn't possibly.
Sorry, do I?
Yes, I think you do.
Have we?
Go on, take a guess.
Wait, it can't be,
is it? Yes.

Oh, my god, I can't believe it's you.

Look at you, Christine.

Meg, and you as well.

I could hardly tell it's you.

Look at you, a star.

And here we are,

to see the sights and sing.
To sing?

And of course, as a treat for my son.

Meg, meet Gustav,

who hired you to sing here.

You! It can't be you!
Is this a jest?
How can this be?

We've come to work.
At whose request?

The contract's here.
I want to see.

Mike got the price.
It's rather high.

Why, it's absurd.

Yes, I know.

Inform your boss that by the buy,

the fee goes up, or else we go.
My dear old friend,

Old friend, he who pays the bill times two or

three be sure he will and handsomely.
Dm
And dear old friend,
C
And now that we are clear,

C
G
old friend, that's all very well.

you'll wait upon my boss's whim.

Yes, your boss.
And who is that?
G
Dm
It's him.
D
C
Sorry, did I hear you right?
A
Here to sing tomorrow night.
D
I'm afraid there must be some mistake.
You can't be performing. Why?
C
D
Mainly, dear, because so am I.
I'm, fact, the star for heaven's sake.
Em
What are you to sing?
F#m
A
Just one little thing, an aria.
Em
Please, you needn't fret,
A
I'm sure you will get your due.
Him?
Cm
That's what I said.
You work for him?
G

Now so do you.

And my poor wife,
we thought him dead.
She'll be appalled.

Unless she knew.

Darling, please, are you all right?

who was its creator?
