- Nigel (Spoken):
Nick, just read it I really think I'm on to something here
Nick (Spoken): I am reading And where's the omelette ?
Nigel (Spoken): There is no omelette!
Nick (Spoken): What do you mean there's no omelette? There has to be an omelette It's called Omelette!
Nigel: (Spoken) Ahh! Are you hearing yourself? (What?) Nick, are you hearing yourself? (Yes) I can't believe we're having a conversation about a story that has to be all about eggs (So?) Eggs! (Yes) What is it with you and these eggs? Nick: You just have to trust me I know what I'm doing
Nigel: I think that you're out of your mind if you think that pursuing that is a good thing
Nick: Well I do
Nigel: Okay, well I don't
Troupe Member (Spoken): Read him this part, it's beautiful
Nigel (Spoken): Doesn't matter, he won't listen
Will (Spoken): I should really take these before this turns ugly
Troupe Member (Spoken): Just read him what you wrote
Nick (Spoken): What the hell are they talking about?
Nigel: (Spoken) You asked me to write something, well here it is Sure as the day follows into night Sure as the sky turns to blue This much I know This much is true Above all else, whatever you do
Nigel & Troupe: To thine own self be true
Nick (Spoken): That's it?
Troupe (Spoken): It's beautiful It's like good line and good advice
Will (Spoken): I don't know I thought the whole breakfast theme was really strong Everyone loves breakfast
Nick (Spoken): Exactly! But there's no Danish, there's no ham, there's no breakfast at all! You're completely ignoring the theme
Nigel (Spoken): I'm ignoring the breakfast theme because it's ridiculous
Nick: Oh, are you hearing yourself? (Nick!) I said, are you hearing yourself? (Yes) I can't believe you're trying to change direction Because you decided that my ideas are wrong (Please) I'm wrong And this true to yourself thing is right?
Nigel: That's not just a line It's what I believe
Nick: Then you are a fool and really naive If you think it's as simple as that
Nigel: Well I do
Nick: Okay well I don't
Troupe (In Background): So what do we do x5
Nigel (Spoken): Ah, this is hopeless I don't know how to get through to you Nick, the fact that you think Omelette is good, It worries me Guys, can you help me out here
Troupe Member (Spoken): You really should listen to him, Nick It just makes your heart wanna soar
Troupe: Sure as the day follows into night Sure as the sky turns to blue This much I know This much is true Above all else, whatever you do To thine own self be true
Nick (Spoken): Want some truth? Here's the truth Omelette will be known as perhaps the single greatest play ever written
Nigel (Spoken): How can you possibly know that?
Nick (Spoken): I just do
Troupe (In Background): So what do we do x5
Nick (Spoken): This will be talked about for generations to come We need a hit Not some audience-repelling death play about your descent into madness
Nigel (Spoken): This descent into madness, that's you Nick, I mean it Whatever happened to the guy who inspired me to become a writer?
Nick (Spoken): He finally has a great idea Now, we open in a week Are you going to help me write Omelette or not?
Nigel (Spoken): No
Nick (Spoken ): No?
I can't It doesn't feel right And deep down, I don't think it feels right to you either
Troupe (In Background): So what do we do x4
Nick: I'll tell you what we do We serve up what they're hungry for Omelette the musical
We're on our way to glory We'll play for kings and queens And there and then they'll see the end will justify the means
Troupe: The end will justify the means! Sure as the day follows the night
Nick: Surely we must see this through (Okay, if you say so) Damned if I don't (Don't!) Damned if I do (Do!) Damn it, I don't have the luxury to Hang all my hope on some simplistic trope Like to thine own self (To thine own self) Be true
Troupe Member: Oh God, I hope what he's saying is true
Troupe: Please be true Please be true Please be true
