<br>

Harry: Do you think anyone else is coming through that door?<br>

Annabel: I hope not<br>

H: I'll just lock it then, shall I?<br>

A: That would be a wonderful idea<br>

H: Ms. Glick...<br>

A: Annabel...<br>

H: Annabel. You know this week is paid in advance<br>

A: Yes<br>

H: And I've got plenty of pocket money<br>

And my uncle's infallible system for roulette<br>

A: Yes<br>

H: Well, I thought per- perhaps you. I mean, we.<br>

Could... well, what I'm trying to say is. Ugh<br>

Why don't you stay?<br>

A: You mean, stay here for the entire week, sightseeing and gambling?<br>

H: You might win something for the dogs<br>

A: Yes, but there are only so many hours in a person's life<br>

And to spend a week just enjoying oneself, well, I don't know<br>

I mean there are certain things that take priority over <br>

personal pleasure and responsibility's-<br>

Harry: You can see the sun, shining on the sea<br>

A: I'm not what you'd call a <br>

spontaneous person or anything, though Harry<br>

H: What a lovely sea, wouldn't you agree<br>

A: I have no sense of humor, <br>

and I'm not fun to be around in the morning, really<br>

H: lovely little boats waiting at the shore. <br>

We could learn to use them<br>

A: I can't swim, I can't even doggy- paddle<br>

H: Seagulls in the sky, people passing by<br>

Worlds of things to try, how can you refuse them?<br>

<br>

A: I uh... I- I do like seagulls.<br>

H: Why not take a chance? Why not go for broke?<br>

We'll sail out to see (we'll sail away out to sea)<br>

Who knows what we'll learn, or when we'll return<br>

Both: Lucky, aren't we?<br>

H: It's all so strange<br>

A: It's all so new<br>

Both: And all so strangely overdue<br>

But somehow being here with you, I know that I'll survive<br>

Oh, it's good to be alive.<br>

<br>
