[MISS SHINGLE] Have you heard of the D'Ysquith family? MONTY: The D'Ysquiths? Why, yes, of course. Hasn't everyone? [MISS SHINGLE] Then you've heard of Highhurst Castle MONTY: Of course [MISS SHINGLE] You're aware, then, of their position, their vast wealth and influence? MONTY: Yes, yes. What's it got to do with me? [MISS SHINGLE] You're a D'Ysquith MONTY: What? [MISS SHINGLE] You're a D'Ysquith MONTY: No [MISS SHINGLE] Ha ha, oh The D'Ysquith blood is flowing through you MONTY: Me, a D'Ysquith? [MISS SHINGLE] A genuine bona fide D'Ysquith MONTY: Rubbish [MISS SHINGLE] Of course, of course Ya don't believe me, do you? MONTY: You must be mad [MISS SHINGLE] Very well, then. If your mother was not a D'Ysquith, what was her maiden name? MONTY: She always insisted that the only name that mattered (whispered) was my father's [MISS SHINGLE] Your mother Lived like a princess in every way A daughter of Lord Maximillian Till she met your father one fateful day She knew it was love - and yet The family declared she'd been led astray By a climbing, conniving Castilian "Oh let him go Or else you'll know A life you will live to regret" This was no idle threat "You're a D'Ysquith You're a perfectly breedable D'Ysquith And a D'Ysquith does her duty Don't forget" There was nothing your mother could say She eloped with your father the very next day [MONTY] So she was... disinherited? [MISS SHINGLE] In a word: yes. Despicable, the lot of them [MONTY] How awful! [MISS SHINGLE] Your mother Made me promise I'd never tell But now she is no longer living She wanted to spare you her private hell But I think you deserve to know Take this knowledge and use it well The family may yet be forgiven This will guarantee You've a right to be On the family tree And it seems to be Indisputably Head to toe You're a D'Ysquith A D-apostrophe-Y-squith A-there can be No other way to view it Montague, you're a D'Ysquith [MONTY] I'm all of a sudden a D'Ysquith! [MISS SHINGLE] Yes! And it's time That everybody knew it A-you are the son of the daughter Of the grandson Of the nephew Of the second Earl of Highhurst, your turn [MONTY] I am the son of the daughter Of the... [BOTH] The grandson Of [MONTY] Oh, sorry [BOTH] The nephew Of the second Earl of Highhurst [MONTY] The thought occurred: why should I believe a woman who might very well be insane? And yet, there seemed to be an air of authenticity to this document I'm a D'Ysquith [MISS SHINGLE] You're a D'Ysquith [MONTY] It would seem I'm a D'Ysquith [MISS SHINGLE] You're a D'Ysquith Montague I picture you At Highhurst [MONTY] Yesterday, I was Monty Navarro [MISS SHINGLE] You could be an Earl tomorrow [MONTY] And Highhurst could be My-hurst I'm a D'Ysquith [MISS SHINGLE] You're a D'Ysquith [BOTH] A D'Ysquith A D'Ysquith A D'Y... squith
