Urinetown Act 2 Scene 4

Penny: Oh yes, and love. There was love like no tomorrow, for there was not tomorrow, but there is always tomorrow of some kind or another. After you were born, Caldwell made me promise to never reveal my identity to you, for I was something of a strumpet

Me: Enough

All: Gasp

Me: My heart is telling me so many things right now, as you can all well imagine. But one thing is bellowing louder than anything else is that when there's wrong in the world we must right it. You did a wonderful thing by coming here, Ms.Pennywise. Mom. A

Little Becky: Seize her!

Me: But if this righteous rebellion were to peter out in Bobby's absence, sending his memory into oblivian, I would blame you. All of you! Kill me and the rebellion dies with me. Let me lead you and the rebellion will triumph!

Robby the Stockfish: She's mad!

Me: Lead you to the very nerve center of my father's empire.

Penny: I've got the key!

Me: And the guards know not to question me. Bu once there, we'll question Daddy. Oh dear, yes, we'll question him plenty!

Josephine: Why should we trust you?

Me: Because Bobby- your hero- loved me. And I loved him.

Josephine: Hope, dear girl, on behalf of the people of the rebellion, perhaps we, in time, might be able to love you too.

Me: It's all that really matters, isn't it? Love? Now let's go do to them what they were ultimately going to do us!

Cladwell: Which is where they'll be keeping Hope, I imagine. I only pray that when we meet in heaven she can find it in the vastness of her heart to forgive me.

Me: Giving up on me so soon, Daddy?

McQueen: Ms. Cladwell, what an unexpected surprise.

Me: Is there any other kind?

Cladwell: Hope, darling, thank God you're safe.

Me: I'm not safe yet, Daddy, but I will be. Soon all the people of this land will be safe.

Cladwell: Hope darling, what's meaning of this?

Me: I've joined the revolution, Daddy. And you? I believe it's time you joined the ex-pat community--in Urinetown!

Cladwell: You're making a terrible mistake, Hope darling. You need me more than you know.

Me: The only thing we need now is freedom, Daddy. For the people.

Little Sally: And love?

Me: Oh, yes. And love.

Cladwell and Penny: JUST UNSOUND

Me: Take him away.

McQueen: What now, Ms. Cladwell?

Me: Now is the beginning for all of us. Now is a new day when each of us, reguardless of race, creed, class, or criminal history, can come together as one people and share the fruits of our labor as one. Now is the dawning of a new age of compassion and t

Tiny Tom: Don't say it!

Me: Of Hope!

Lockstock: Oh, I may be a cop, but I'm also the narrator. So no one can touch me, not if they don't want a show in the end.

Me: So many people peeing at will. Thanks to the Rebellion the world is a much better place.

McQueen: Actually, Ms.Cladwell, your father commissioned a study of water consumption just before he-

Me: My father was a tyrant. We need never fear him again. Justice is the only tyrant we need obey.

Josephine: Such a fever. If only I had a cool, tall glass of water, maybe I'd have a fighting chance.

Me: But don't you see, Mrs. Strong? The glass of water's inside you; it always has been.

Josephine: It has?

Me: Of coarse, it has. Don't you know what you are?

Josephine: A river?

Me: That's right. We all are.
