Isabelle on Her Balcony

(DUSOLEIL waits in the shadows.)

[ISABELLE]
He's out of prison
He's out of prison
My Passepartout
I heard about it on the news today

I somehow knew it
How did he do it?
At last, he's free again
He's free again
He got away

They'll never find him
No, never find him

[PROSECUTOR]
(inside)
Hey, Isabelle!
Come help me find my missing shoe!
Or, Isabelle
Have you got better things to do?

[ISABELLE]
Yes, I can hear you
Yes, loud and clear, you
Disgusting man
I'm always waiting hand and foot on you

I'll go on dreaming
'Cause when I'm dreaming
I feel him holding me
And folding me with all his might

And I'm so lonely
Oh, God, if only
I could escape
'Cause now I'm locked away all day, all night

Oh, come and see me
Then you can free me
Oh, here I am!
I'll be your damsel in distress

[PROSECUTOR]
(inside)
Oh, Isabelle
How come my clothes are such a mess!

[ISABELLE]
You hear him calling?
God, he's appalling!
How come I'm lumbered
With a husband who can't even dress

Oh, my
Passepartout
I'll fly
Fly with you

And soar
Through the sky
My wonderful hero
And I

What if they catch him?

[DUSOLEIL]
They'll never catch him!

[ISABELLE]
What are you doing here?!
You startled me!
Do I know you?

[DUSOLEIL]
It's me they're after
It's me they're after!

[ISABELLE]
What are you saying?
You look nothing like my Passepartout

[DUSOLEIL]
I've come to show you
I've come to know you
So you can see
So you can see that I am me
I'm Dusoleil
I live at Number 23
And I love you

[ISABELLE]
But you are not what I imagined
No, you're not my Passepartout

[DUSOLEIL]
All right...
I'll show what I can do

(DUSOLEIL thrusts his arm through a neighbor's door and pulls out a bouquet.)

[ISABELLE]
I don't believe it!
I won't believe it!
My perfect hero was so near!

[DUSOLEIL]
Oh, let me set you free
You are in prison
The same as I was

(PROSECUTOR enters with POLICEMEN.)

[PROSECUTOR]
Oh, Isabelle!

It is exactly as I thought!

And I now see
That I have caught you in a trap
With Isabelle as bait
We'll have you up before the magistrate
You're a filthy thief
Who tried to steal my wife
And I'll be proud to send you down for life

[DUSOLEIL]
(as POLICEMEN drag him away)
No, Isabelle! Isabelle!!

[ISABELLE]
My Passepartout
Now that I've found you
I know what to do
