Trevor: <br>

spoken<br>

That Miss Dorothy, Great scot! That Miss Dorothy. <br>

Millie:<br>

spoken <br>

Perfect.<br>

Trevor:What a dandy little bundle for a fella to cuddle.<br>

Millie:<br>

Dandy.<br>

Trevor:<br>

Say, imagine all that sweet softness in your arms, uh? Ah.<br>

Millie:<br>

Yes, well I'll type up this survey report right away then, Mr. Graydon.<br>

Original in five?<br>

Trevor:<br>

Don't forget the dinner reservation at the plaza. Candle-nook room,<br>

quiet corner table for two. I think Miss Dorothy's for the Plaza, don't you?<br>

And John, flowers. <br>

Millie:<br>

There's a florist just around the corner from the hotel, I'll order from them.<br>

Trevor:<br>

That's usin' the old bean, John. Roses. <br>

Pink, plump, long-stemmed, two dozen, in a vase.<br>

Millie:<br>

sung<br>

Poor butterfly, needs the blossoms waiting.<br>

Poor butterfly, for she loved him so.<br>

spoken<br>

Plaza Hotel, please. Candlenook Room.<br>

sung<br>

The moments pass in to hours, the hours pass into years.<br>

spoken<br>

Candlenook Room? Mr. Trevor Graydon would like to order a quiet, corner table for two.<br>

Tonight, seven-thirty. Thank you.<br>

sung<br>

And as she smiles through her tears, she murmurs low.<br>

The moon and I know that he be faithful.<br>

I know he come to me by and by.<br>

spoken<br>

Flowerbox, please.<br>

sung<br>

But if he don't come back,<br>

Then I never sigh or cry.<br>

spoken<br>

Flowerbox? Mr. Trevor Graydon would like to order some roses. <br>

Two dozen, long-stemmed, pink. On the fat side!<br>

sung<br>

I just must die,<br>

Poor butterfly!<br>
