During a visit to the theater with Anne, Frederick is recognized by the actress Desiree, an old lover of his. The two are both struck by memories of their old affair, which are voiced by the quintet. While these are largely charactarized as pleasant, there are undertones of a less wonderful reality...
[MR. LINDQUIST]
Remember?
[MRS. NORDSTROM]
Remember?
The old deserted beach that we walked—
Remember?
[MR. LINDQUIST]
Remember?
The cafe in the park where we talked—
Remember?
[MRS. NORDSTROM]
Remember?
[MR. LINDQUIST]
The tenor on the boat that we chartered
Belching "The Bartered Bride"—
[MR. LINDQUIST & MRS. NORDSTROM]
Ah, how we laughed
Ah, how we cried
[MR. LINDQUIST]
Ah, how you promised
And ah, how I lied
[MRS. NORDSTROM]
That dilapidated inn—
Remember, darling?
[MR. LINDQUIST]
The proprietress's grin
Also her glare
[MRS. NORDSTROM]
Yellow gingham on the bed—
Remember, darling?
[MR. LINDQUIST]
And the canopy in red
Needing repair
[MR. LINDQUIST & MRS. NORDSTROM]
I think you were there
[MRS. NORDSTROM]
The local village dance on the green—
Remember?
[MR. LINDQUIST]
Remember?
The lady with the large tambourine—
Remember?
[MRS. NORDSTROM]
Remember?
The one who played the harp in her boa
Thought she was so a-
Dept
[MR. LINDQUIST & MRS. NORDSTROM]
Ah, how we laughed
Ah, how we wept
Ah, how we polka'd
[MRS. NORDSTROM]
And ah, how we slept
How we kissed and how we clung—
Remember, darling?
[MR. LINDQUIST]
We were foolish, we were young—
[MR. LINDQUIST & MRS. NORDSTROM]
More than we knew
[MRS. NORDSTROM]
Yellow gingham on the bed
Remember, darling?
And the canopy in red
[MR. LINDQUIST]
Or was it blue?
[MRS. SEGSTROM]
The funny little games that we played—
Remember?
[MR. ERLANSEN]
Remember?
The unexpected knock of the maid—
Remember?
[MRS. ANDERSSEN]
Remember?
The wine that made us both rather merry
And oh so very
Frank
[QUINTET]
Ah, how we laughed
Ah, how we drank
[MR. ERLANSEN]
You acquiesced
[MRS. ANDERSSEN]
And the rest
Is a blank
[MR. LINDQUIST]
What we did with your perfume—
[MR. ERLANSEN]
Remember, darling?
[MRS. SEGSTROM]
The condition of the room
When we were through
[MRS. NORDSTROM]
Our inventions were unique—
Remember, darling?
[MR. LINDQUIST]
I was limping for a week
You caught the flu
[QUINTET]
I'm sure it was—
You
