[DANGLARS]
"Well, well. It appears this marriage does not make everybody happy."
[MONDEGO]
"It drives me to despair!"
[CADEROUSSE]
"Now, that is love, or I don't know what is!"
[DANGLARS]
"Dear fellow, stick to your bottle and stay out of our discussion!"
[DANGLARS]
I'm surrounded by drunkards and girlish fools
This one, this envious, greedy swine
Fills himself with wine
And this one, this jealous, love-struck wretch
Let's the girl of his dreams be taken away
If I don't meddle, If I don't get my hands dirty today
Edmond Dantès will never pay
He'll be captain of the Pharaon
[MONDEGO]
And he'll be married to Mercеdes
[CADEROUSSE]
He'll be richеr than us all
[ALL]
And we'll have wasted our time waiting
[MONDEGO]
It feels like a fever is eating me
Laughing, hand in hand. Girl loves boy
They mock me with their joy
I'm enthralled by her voice, by her sylvan eyes
My palms sweat like crazy and I talk to my knife
But she's sworn that she will kill herself if I take Dantès' life
So Edmond Dantès will get Marseilles' most beautiful wife
He'll be married to Mercedes
[CADEROUSSE]
And he'll be richer than us all
[DANGLARS]
He'll be captain of the Pharaon
[ALL]
And he'll walk tall while we crawl
[CADEROUSSE]
I feel physically ill, and it's not just the wine
My skin turns green and I loathe myself
When I see that little whelp
Lucky little boy, lucky and rich
May he have silk allergy! May he choke on his brie!
I remember when he was nothing. I'm of the bourgoisie!
But Edmond Dantès now has more money than me
He'll be richer than us all
[DANGLARS]
And he'll be captain of the Pharaon
[MONDEGO]
He'll be married to Mercedes
[ALL]
He'll fly to heaven like a sparrow
[CADEROUSSE]
"Though truly, he is annoying, but not as bad as all that. More wine! To Dantès health!"
[MONDEGO]
"More than annoying! I would have him die this instant had I but the means. Perhaps, I must simply seek a quarrel with him and have done with."
[DANGLARS]
"No, no! If we resolve on such a step, it would be much better to take this pen, dip it into this ink, and write these words ... Here, have a look."
[MONDEGO]
"'A friend of the throne informs you that one Edmond Dantes has been entrusted by the usurper with a letter for the Bonapartist committee. Proof of this crime will be found on his person, or in his cabin on board the Pharaon.' Is this true?"
[DANGLARS]
"It is. And see? Now all that remains is to fold it up, and address it to the King's attorney ... Like this."
[CADEROUSSE]
"A fine ploy that would be. And an infamous shame!"
Enough! I am done with this treacherous deed
[MONDEGO]
Can it be? Don't they see? This is just what I need!
[DANGLARS]
Calm down. I'm only joking. Now let the chips fall where they may
[ALL]
For Edmond Dantès
[DANGLARS]
The favourite son of Marseilles
[MONDEGO / CADEROUSSE]
He won't stand a chance
Fernand, you lovesick fool. You don't understand
This is only the beginning
What Danglars just wrote, the letter in your hand
I will ruin their romance
It is no joking matter. It is dangerous
Now my wedding bells are ringing
Watch out for friends of yours, Edmond Dantès
[CADEROUSSE / DANGLARS]
Danglars, you've gone too far. This isn't funny
Stop wringing your hands. What have you got to loose?
No one wants to hurt the boy. It's only money
Stop trembling and sweating. You're a coward, Caderousse
This is no joking matter. This is dangerous
Don't worry, it's only a little joke of mine
Watch out for friends of yours, Edmond Dantès
Don't worry, it's safe. Edmond Dantès will be fine
[DANGLARS / MONDEGO]
I trust him – Mondego – to do what he must do
A weight has been lifted from my shoulders
He's got much more to lose than that coward Caderousse
This is where it all begins
The clouds are dispersing. Now feel how fortune shines
If I remember what Danglars told us
Just lean back, relax. And by tomorrow Pharaon's mine
Soon, my wedding bells will ring
[CADEROUSSE]
I'll have no part in this at all
[MONDEGO]
I'll be married to Mercedes
[DANGLARS]
And I'll be captain of the Pharaon
[CADEROUSSE / MONDEGO / DANGLARS]
You'll/I'll/We'll have Dantès sent to Hades
[CADEROUSSE / DANGLARS]
You'll/We'll have Dantès sent to Hades
[DANGLARS]
We'll have Dantès sent to Hades
