Second Letter Lyrics

Second Letter Text

---

[CLARA]
Giorgio ...
I, too, have cried inside.

[BOTH]
You must not be ashamed of your tears.

[CLARA]
I love you for your tears.

[BOTH]
Your absence only makes my love grow stronger.
And when I cannot bear it any longer -

[COLONEL]
[spoken] Don't be alarmed. It's my cousin.
I am so accustomed to her outbursts that I forget
how unsettling they must be to a newcomer.
My apologies for not warning you.

[DOCTOR]
[spoken] She's not been having a good day.
And a doctor is always expected to help hurt, even when there is
nothing one can possibly do.

[TORASSO]
[spoken] More lamb please.

[DOCTOR (to Lombardi)]
[spoken] I've noticed you finally managed to track down some tarragon.

[LOMBARDI]
[spoken] Yes, I'm glad you approved ...

[COLONEL]
[spoken] Doctor.

[DOCTOR]
[spoken] Excuse me.

[BARRI]
[spoken] Sergeant, are there any more carrots?

[LOMBARDI]
[spoken] Seconds for you, Lieutenant? Can I take that as a compliment?

[BARRI]
[spoken] No, Sergeant, they're for my horses

[COLONEL]
[spoken] In time, Captain Bachetti, you too will get used to life amongst us.
