Dusoleil Meets the Press

(The next morning, a crowd has gathered outside.)

[NEWSVENDOR]
We are shooting in Montmartre
Filming Monsieur Passepartout

Sir, the media
Really need'ya
To display what you can do!

If you wow us
With your prowess
We will make a star of you

They'll have statues
In your honor
So c'mon, please
Passepartout!

[DUSOLEIL]
I need some aspirin, need some pills
Before I dare to face the press

Now, what are these?
They're in my pocket

I'm a mess
All that champagne has done my brain in
Love has brought me to my knees

Maybe I must bow
Bow to public prеssure now
So I'll take a couple of-

[VOICE OF DOCTOR]
Takе a couple of these
They should cure your disease...

(DUSOLEIL's vanity gets the better of him. He goes out to the street. The crowd encourages him

He takes a running leap into the wall...

...and gets stuck!

The crowd is stunned.)

[NEWSVENDOR]
Extra, extra-
Ordinary
This is tragic
A crying shame

That his magic
Should have vanished
Just as quickly as it came

In an effort
To explain this
I have asked his doctor here

[DOCTOR]
Well
The tablets
I prescribed him
Made his powers
Disappear
