Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)

[GIRLS]
Is there a man out there?
Someone to hear my prayer

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! A man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

[SOPHIE]
Sorry to drag you away

[SAM]
Thank God you did, this used to be a quiet wee island

[SOPHIE]
Regretting you stayed away so long?

[SAM]
No, I'm regretting I never knew what was here

[SOPHIE]
What?

[SAM]
This place - the Taverna. I always meant to come back and build it some day, but - she beat me to it

[SOPHIE]
Do you prefer buildings to people?

[SAM]
What?!

[SOPHIE]
Tell me something about my mum

[SAM]
Your mum was irresistible, a one-off
We talked and we fought - you know it was me that brought her to this island?

[SOPHIE]
That wasn't the only thing you did, was it?

[SAM]
Oh right, what has she told you?

[SOPHIE]
Nothing. She's never mentioned you

[SAM]
But you said "Mum's always talking about her friends from the old days"
What's going on? Sophie, why am I here?

[GIRLS]
Is there a man out there
Someone to hear my prayer

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight

Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

[HARRY]
Fancy Donna with a grown-up daughter!

[SOPHIE]
Have you got any children, Harry?

[HARRY]
No. I haven't put myself in the path of paternity

[SOPHIE]
It's never too late

[HARRY]
I don't think my other half would agree

[SOPHIE]
Oh - you don't want children?

[HARRY]
No, no, it's not like that. It's just that: well, I'd have liked a daughter. I'd have spoiled her to bits

[SOPHIE]
Lucky thing

[HARRY]
Is your Dad here?

[SOPHIE]
I don't know

[HARRY]
What?

[SOPHIE]
I don't know who my Dad is

[GIRLS]
Is there a man out there?
Someone to hear my prayer

[BILL]
Can I be nosey, I'm a writer so it goes with the territory

[SOPHIE]
Go on

[BILL]
How did your mother get this place?
When I knew her she was singing in a night-club on the mainland

[SOPHIE]
She was left some money, in a will
We lived with an old lady when I was little
Her name was Sophia?

[BILL]
What, my Great-Aunt Sophia?

[SOPHIE]
I think it must be

[BILL]
But I always heard her money went to family
Wait a minute - how old are you?

[SOPHIE]
Twenty

[GIRLS]
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away?
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
A man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
