Any Fool Could See

[HELEN, spoken]
Paris, this has gone far enough

[PARIS]
So we meet again
Aphrodite
Sweet Aphrodite

[HELEN, spoken]
I’m not Aphrodite!

[PARIS]
I always knew
I dedicate my life to -

[HELEN, spoken]
Ugh. Give me strength

[PARIS]
To you

[HELEN]
Why the hell don't you shut up and listen?

[PARIS, spoken]
What?

[HELEN]
You haven’t got a clue
You just don’t what's going on
It's not a palace
It's a prison
And they intend to keep you here
I don’t need [?] strangers
Who have no sense of danger
I don’t know why I bother
Why should I give a damn?
It’s Agamemnon’s plan
Why can’t you understand
It's what any fool could see

[PARIS, spoken]
But they seem quite friendly

[HELEN]
He will murder you when he has used you
You honestly don’t know him
I would trust him just about as far as you werе [?] him
And Paris, would you please
For the gods, just gеt off your knees

[PARIS, spoken]
What?

[HELEN]
Stop your adoration
I don’t need complications
I'm not a goddess
I am King Menelaus’ wife
And any fool could see what potential enemies will steal
Too much to close to get
I don't know what I'm doing

[PARIS]
Here we are
Standing together

[HELEN]
Oh, Paris

[PARIS]
Face to face
Heart to heart

[HELEN, spoken]
Aren’t you listening?

[PARIS]
The way we were meant -

[HELEN, spoken]
I must be going mad

[PARIS]
To be

[HELEN, spoken]
Don’t you understand?
It’s a trap
You got to get away
Andruste, go to the fisherman

[ANDRUSTE, spoken]
Yes, ma'am

[HELEN]
(spoken)
We must find that Trojan galley
And Paris, listen
(sung)
If we can time it right
Get past the guards without a fight
And if we are lucky you’ll be sailing for Troy tonight
Your life is in their hands
Why can’t you understand it's

[PARIS]
Any fool like me could see
Yes I know what you’re trying to say

[HELEN, spoken]
Oh Paris
This shouldn’t be happening

[PARIS]
So tell me why if you think so little of me
Don’t you just turn and walk away

[HELEN]
Any fool could see
Any fool could see
(spoken)
By the gods, what's happening to me?
We must leave
Before it's too late

[AGAMEMNON]
(spoken)
Guard
Fetch my brother
It seems we have a problem
(sung)
Now I’ll show them a leader
Now they’ll know who’s the leader
They’ll play follow the leader
For me

[?]
What’s going on in here?

[?]
Just what’s the problem

[MENELAUS]
Ah, Agamemnon, I’m sorry to tell you
That Ulysses and the others don’t agree

[AGAMEMNON]
Gentlemen, I remember before
How several of you seemed slightly unsure
That the Trojan dog wouldn’t offer a threat
Ah. You wanna bet?
That smiling fool had the time of his life
He laughed at you as he twisted the knife
And the price, Menelaus, you paid the price
He has abducted your wife

[MENELAUS]
Find them
Find them!
Bring me back that Trojan [?]
I don’t care if he’s alive or dead
And if I find some Greek traitor has helped him escape
Just bring me back his head
Move!

[AGAMEMNON]
So Ulysses, are you with us now?
We’ll be wealthy men when the battle’s done

[ULYSSES]
Ah, but what are the gods, Agamemnon
What are the gods
Whose side are they on?
