| [00:00.30] |
MAX: |
| [00:00.40] |
Did you get a chance yet to read Springtime for Hitler? |
| [00:02.60] |
ROGER: |
| [00:02.74] |
Read it? I devoured it! |
| [00:04.92] |
And I find it remarkable, REMARKABLE! |
| [00:07.20] |
MAX: |
| [00:07.38] |
Then you'll do it? |
| [00:08.53] |
ROGER: |
| [00:08.68] |
Do it? Of course not. |
| [00:10.00] |
It's not my kind of thing. |
| [00:11.35] |
I mean, Max please. World War II? |
| [00:13.97] |
Oooo. Too dark, too depressing. |
| [00:17.02] |
The theatre's so obsessed |
| [00:18.62] |
With dramas so depressed |
| [00:20.15] |
It's hard to sell a ticket on Broadway |
| [00:23.36] |
Shows should be more pretty |
| [00:25.10] |
Shows should be more witty |
| [00:26.85] |
Shows should be more... |
| [00:28.80] |
What's the word? |
| [00:31.05] |
LEO: |
| [00:31.20] |
Gay? |
| [00:32.75] |
ROGER: |
| [00:32.90] |
Exactly! |
| [00:34.40] |
No matter what you do on the stage |
| [00:38.45] |
Keep it light, keep it bright, keep it gay! |
| [00:42.00] |
Whether it's murder, mayhem or rage |
| [00:46.00] |
Don't complain, it's a pain |
| [00:47.86] |
Keep it gay! |
| [00:49.96] |
CARMEN: |
| [00:50.11] |
People want laughter when they see a show |
| [00:53.65] |
The last thing they're after's a litany of woe |
| [00:57.00] |
ROGER & CARMEN: |
| [00:57.15] |
A happy ending will pep up your play... |
| [01:01.22] |
ROGER: |
| [01:01.37] |
Oedipus won't bomb... |
| [01:02.85] |
CARMEN: |
| [01:03.00] |
If he winds up with Mom! |
| [01:04.79] |
ROGER: |
| [01:04.89] |
Keep it gay! |
| [01:05.80] |
CARMEN: |
| [01:05.90] |
Keep it gay... |
| [01:06.70] |
ROGER & CARMEN: |
| [01:06.80] |
Keep it gay! |
| [01:09.00] |
MAX: |
| [01:09.44] |
Couldn't agree more. |
| [01:10.68] |
And you have our blessings, Roger, |
| [01:12.67] |
To make Springtime for Hitler |
| [01:14.30] |
Just as gay as anyone could possibly want. |
| [01:17.00] |
So, c'mon, do it for us, please. |
| [01:18.15] |
ROGER: |
| [01:18.30] |
I'm sorry, Max, but it's simply not my cup of tea. |
| [01:21.85] |
Still, fair is fair, |
| [01:24.45] |
Perhaps I should ask my production team what they think. |
| [01:27.00] |
MAX: |
| [01:27.10] |
You're production team. Who are they? |
| [01:28.80] |
Roger: |
| [01:28.90] |
You'll see. They all live here. |
| [01:31.37] |
Guys! Come say hello to Bialystock and Bloom! |
| [01:34.59] |
This is my set designer, Bryan. |
| [01:37.82] |
BRYAN: |
| [01:37.97] |
Keep it mad, keep it glad, keep it gay! |
| [01:41.70] |
ROGER: |
| [01:41.83] |
And here's my costume designer, Kevin. |
| [01:44.80] |
KEVIN: |
| [01:44.96] |
Hello... |
| [01:45.85] |
Keep it happy, keep it snappy, keep it gay! |
| [01:49.40] |
BRYAN & KEVIN: |
| [01:49.52] |
We're clever, creative |
| [01:51.40] |
It's our job to see |
| [01:53.40] |
That ev'rything's perfect for Mr. De Bris! |
| [01:57.16] |
ROGER: |
| [01:57.25] |
Scott, my choreographer... |
| [01:59.30] |
SCOTT: |
| [01:59.40] |
Hi there... |
| [02:08.95] |
ROGER: |
| [02:09.10] |
And, ah, finally, last and least, my lighting designer, |
| [02:13.67] |
Shirley Markowitz. |
| [02:17.04] |
SHIRLEY: |
| [02:17.19] |
Keep it gay, keep it gay, keep it gay |
| [02:24.46] |
ROGER: |
| [02:24.61] |
Now, they all just read Springtime. |
| [02:26.71] |
What do you think of it fellas? |
| [02:28.31] |
BRYAN: |
| [02:28.41] |
It needs glamour... |
| [02:29.40] |
KEVIN: |
| [02:29.50] |
And blitz... |
| [02:30.40] |
SCOTT: |
| [02:30.50] |
It needs sequence... |
| [02:31.55] |
SHIRLEY: |
| [02:31.65] |
And Tits. |
| [02:32.95] |
MAX: |
| [02:33.10] |
Roger, I think that Springtime for Hitler |
| [02:35.70] |
Would be a marvelous opportunity for you. |
| [02:37.93] |
I mean, up to now, |
| [02:39.00] |
You've always been associated with... |
| [02:41.01] |
Dare I say it, |
| [02:41.90] |
Frivolous musicals. |
| [02:43.05] |
ROGER: |
| [02:43.20] |
You're right. |
| [02:43.82] |
I've often felt as though... |
| [02:45.07] |
I've been throwing my life away on silly little entertainments. |
| [02:47.95] |
Deopy showgirls in gooey gowns. |
| [02:51.00] |
It's enough to make you heave. |
| [02:52.52] |
Nonetheless, I'm sorry, Max. |
| [02:54.08] |
I just couldn't do Springtime for Hitler. |
| [02:56.05] |
MAX: |
| [02:56.16] |
Why not? Think of the respect. |
| [02:57.55] |
ROGER: |
| [02:57.60] |
No. |
| [02:58.19] |
MAX: |
| [02:58.29] |
Think of the prestige. |
| [02:58.98] |
ROGER: |
| [02:59.07] |
No, no, no. |
| [02:59.70] |
MAX: |
| [02:59.80] |
Think of ... the Tony! |
| [03:02.11] |
CARMEN & THE TEAM: |
| [03:02.26] |
Tony...Tony...Tony...Tony...Tony! |
| [03:06.05] |
ROGER: |
| [03:06.15] |
Ngaaaaaahhhhh! |
| [03:06.50] |
MAX: |
| [03:06.61] |
What's the matter? |
| [03:07.33] |
LEO: |
| [03:07.43] |
Is he all right? |
| [03:08.05] |
CARMEN: |
| [03:08.15] |
He's having a stroke... |
| [03:08.88] |
MAX & LEO: |
| [03:08.98] |
What? |
| [03:09.15] |
CARMEN: |
| [03:09.25] |
...of genius! |
| [03:10.17] |
ROGER: |
| [03:10.27] |
I see it! At last. |
| [03:12.25] |
The chance to do something important! |
| [03:13.87] |
CARMEN: |
| [03:14.02] |
Roger de Bris presents History! |
| [03:17.77] |
ROGER: |
| [03:17.92] |
Of course that whole second act has to be rewritten. |
| [03:20.10] |
They're losing the war? Excuse me. |
| [03:22.50] |
It's too downbeat. |
| [03:23.30] |
CARMEN: |
| [03:23.42] |
Roger de Bris presents History! |
| [03:26.90] |
ROGER: |
| [03:27.05] |
But maybe... |
| [03:28.80] |
Uh...it's a wile idea, but it just might work... |
| [03:32.84] |
I see a line of beautiful girls |
| [03:43.55] |
Dressed as storm troopers, each one a gem |
| [03:46.65] |
With leather boots and whips on their hips |
| [03:50.00] |
It's risque, dare I say, S & M! |
| [03:52.63] |
CARMEN & THE TEAM: |
| [03:52.73] |
Love it! |
| [03:53.00] |
ROGER: |
| [03:53.10] |
I see German soldiers dancing through France |
| [03:56.25] |
Played by chorus boys in very tight pants |
| [03:59.21] |
And wait, there's more - they win the war! |
| [04:02.30] |
And the dances they do will be daring and new |
| [04:06.03] |
Turn-turn-kick-turn, turn-turn-kick-turn |
| [04:07.51] |
One-two-three-kick-turn! |
| [04:08.60] |
Keep it sassy, keep it classy, keep it... |
| [04:10.45] |
MAX: |
| [04:10.55] |
That is brilliant. Brilliant! |
| [04:12.01] |
I speak for Mr.Bloom and myself, Roger, |
| [04:14.59] |
When I say that you are the only man in the world |
| [04:16.81] |
Who can do justice to Springtime for Hitler. |
| [04:19.90] |
Will you do it, please? |
| [04:21.35] |
LEO: |
| [04:21.45] |
Please. |
| [04:21.70] |
ROGER: |
| [04:21.82] |
Wait a minute. This is a very big decision. |
| [04:24.17] |
It might affect the course of my entire life. |
| [04:26.15] |
I shall have to think about it... |
| [04:27.90] |
I'll do it. I'll do it! |
| [04:32.24] |
Sabu, champagne! |
| [04:34.80] |
ROGER, CARMEN & THE TEAM: |
| [04:34.95] |
If at the end you want them to cheer |
| [04:38.22] |
Keep it gay, keep it gay, keep it gay |
| [04:41.20] |
Whether it's Hamlet, Othello or Lear |
| [04:44.47] |
Keep it gay, keep it gay, keep it gay |
| [04:47.91] |
CARMEN: |
| [04:48.06] |
Comedy's joyous, a constant delight |
| [04:51.17] |
Dramas annoy us... |
| [04:52.50] |
ROGER & CARMEN: |
| [04:52.60] |
...and ruin our night. |
| [04:53.78] |
ROGER, CARMEN & THE TEAM: |
| [04:53.88] |
So keep your Strindbergs and Ibsens at bay... |
| [04:57.20] |
ROGER: |
| [04:57.30] |
I'll sign... |
| [04:58.35] |
KEVIN: |
| [04:58.45] |
Sign... |

ROGER: |
| [05:03.80] |
Roger Elizabeth De Bris! |
| [05:06.05] |
ALL: |
| [05:06.15] |
Keep it gay!! |
| [05:15.00] |
Conga! |
| [05:16.01] |
Everybody! |
| [05:16.90] |
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la |
| [05:20.15] |
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la |
| [05:23.25] |
And so the rule is |
| [05:25.50] |
When mounting a play |
| [05:27.10] |
Keep it gay |
| [05:28.70] |
Keep it gay |
| [05:30.15] |
Keep it gay! |
