[SCIPIO, spoken]
There's a buckra comin'
[ANNIE, spoken]
What he say?
[SERENA, spoken]
White gentleman
[ARCHDALE, spoken]
Boy!
Come here, boy!
I'm lookin' for a man by the name of Porgy
Which is his room?
Come, don't you know Porgy?
[SCIPIO]
No, sir
[ARCHDALE, spoken, to CLARA]
I'm looking for a man named Porgy
Could you direct me to his room?
[CLARA]
Anybody here know a man name Porgy?
[ENSEMBLE, spoken]
No, no...
[ARCHDALE, spoken]
Come, I'm a friend of his, Mister Archdale
I have good news for him
[SERENA]
Go 'long and wake Porgy
Can't you tell folks when you see em?
[CLARA, spoken]
Oh, you mean Porgy!
[CLARA, spoken & MINGO]
I ain't understand what name you say (Oh, the gentleman mean Porgy)
[JAKE & CLARA]
That's him, boss (Wake up)
That's old Porgy (Porgy, a)
Glad to serve you, boss (Gentleman come to see you)
[PORGY]
How you does, boss?
[ARCHDALE, spoken]
Good mornin'
Camе to tell you about your friend, Petеr
Who got locked up on account of Robbins' murder
[PORGY]
How you come to care, boss?
[ARCHDALE, spoken]
His folks used to belong to my family
I just heard he was in trouble
[PORGY]
He sure got plenty of trouble
[ARCHDALE, spoken]
Well, you can tell all of Peter's friends I'll go his bond
He'll soon be back home again
[PORGY]
Thank you, boss
God bless you, boss
[PORGY, spoken]
Bless you, bless you!
[FRAZIER]
Good mornin' Mister Archdale
[ARCHDALE, spoken]
Good mornin' Frazier
I hope you're not selling any more divorces
[PORGY, spoken]
He just made a lady out of Bess
[PORGY]
For a dollar and a half
[PORGY hands paper to ARCHDALE.]
[ARCHDALE, spoken]
"I, Simon Frazier, hereby divorce Bess and Crown
For the charge of one dollar and fifty cents cash
Signed, Simon Frazier"
Look here, Frazier, this divorce mill must close
I'll have to put you in jail
But I won't report you this time
Good mornin'
[PORGY, spoken & FRAZIER]
Good mornin', Mister Archdale (God bless you, boss, God bless you)
