About

Meredith is pleading with her husband, Dr. Parker, to not euthanize Edgar/Bat Boy. She uses the prospect of having sex with her husband to convince him to help Edgar rather than kill him. Dr. Parker is elated, as he feels that the love and attraction in his marriage has been fading for many years.

Dance With Me, Darling Annotated

[MEREDITH]
We have to let him live. I'm begging you. As your wife.

[DR. PARKER]
You haven't been a wife to me in years.

[MEREDITH]
I could be.

[DR. PARKER]
... Tonight?

[MEREDITH]
Uh…

[DR. PARKER]
Tonight?

MEREDITH
...Let me get you a drink.

[DR. PARKER]
But there was a time, you know,
When you would dance with me,
Once long ago,
There was love in your eyes.
You were so light in my arms,
We danced five hours or more,
We were the last on the floor,
With the sun still to rise...
The band played one final song,
And you were humming along:

Oh, dance with me, darling
we haven't danced since I don't know when.

You remember that song Meredith?

Dance with me, darling,
Won't you embrace me?
Kiss me in case we don't meet again.
I've heard a rumour,
Barely a whisper,
Claiming that we were through.
So dance with me, darling
Show them that it's not true.

[MEREDITH]
So you'll do it?

[DR. PARKER]
So you'll do it?

[MEREDITH]
Yes

[DR. PARKER]
Did you hear that?
I guess that makes us "pals"

'Cause now I can't say no,
Tonight she smiled at me:
It just goes to show,
Someone up there still cares.
I prayed this day would arrive,
When she'd return to my arms;
Now if I keep you alive,
I can join her upstairs.
I see a way to proceed
So we both can get what we need.
Oh:

[VOICES IN DR. PARKER'S HEAD]
Dance with me, darling
Doo dooby doo doo
Doo dooby doo...

[DR. PARKER]
Dance with me, darling
La da da da da,
Da da da da da, da da, da da

Oh, dance with me, darling
Da da da da da
Da da da da da
Da da da da

Surely it's more than moonlight and music
Surely it's more than wine.

[DR. PARKER AND VOICES]
So dance with me, darling,
Show them that you're still mine!...

[VOICES]
Ah ah ah ah ah ah,
Ah ah ah ah ah ah...
Aaaaaaahhhh!

[DR. PARKER]
Surely the Gods must want us together
Don’t fight their grand design
No, dance with me, darling

[VOICES]
Aah!

[DR. PARKER]
Dance with me darling

[VOICES]
Aah!

[DR. PARKER]
And be forever mine!

[VOICES]
Aah, aah, aah!
