[00:00.06] Nigel (Spoken):
[00:00.55] Nick, just read it
[00:01.45] I really think I'm on to something here
[00:03.02]
[00:03.23] Nick (Spoken):
[00:03.40] I am reading
[00:04.65] And where's the omelette?
[00:05.58]
[00:05.92] Nigel (Spoken):
[00:06.59] There is no omelette!
[00:07.55]
[00:07.80] Nick (Spoken):
[00:08.13] What do you mean there's no omelette?
[00:09.39] There has to be an omelette
[00:10.99] It's called Omelette!
[00:12.01]
[00:12.19] Nigel:
[00:12.38] (Spoken) Ahh!
[00:13.33] Are you hearing yourself? (What?)
[00:14.73] Nick, are you hearing yourself? (Yes)
[00:16.36] I can't believe we're having a conversation about a story that has to be all about eggs (So?)
[00:21.32] Eggs! (Yes)
[00:22.51] What is it with you and these eggs?
[00:23.93]
[00:24.05] Nick:
[00:24.06] You just have to trust me
[00:25.26] I know what I'm doing
[00:26.10]
[00:26.29] Nigel:
[00:26.54] I think that you're out of your mind if you think that pursuing that is a good thing
[00:29.74]
[00:29.96] Nick:
[00:30.14] Well I do
[00:30.60]
[00:30.78] Nigel:
[00:30.95] Okay, well I don't
[00:31.53]
[00:31.81] Troupe Member (Spoken):
[00:32.06] Read him this part, it's beautiful
[00:33.20]
[00:33.40] Nigel (Spoken):
[00:33.58] Doesn't matter, he won't listen
[00:34.85]
[00:35.06] Will (Spoken):
[00:35.28] I should really take these before this turns ugly
[00:37.54]
[00:37.74] Troupe Member (Spoken):
[00:37.93] Just read him what you wrote
[00:38.67]
[00:38.87] Nick (Spoken):
[00:39.06] What the hell are they talking about?
[00:40.18]
[00:40.41] Nigel:
[00:41.86] (Spoken) You asked me to write something, well here it is
[00:44.98] Sure as the day follows into night
[00:49.08] Sure as the sky turns to blue
[00:53.13] This much I know
[00:55.20] This much is true
[00:57.19] Above all else, whatever you do
[01:00.72]
[01:01.02] Nigel & Troupe:
[01:01.21] To thine own self be true
[01:05.47]
[01:05.68] Nick (Spoken):
[01:05.85] That's it?
[01:06.35]
[01:06.54] Troupe (Spoken):
[01:06.70] It's beautiful
[01:07.38] It's like good line and good advice
[01:09.20]
[01:09.36] Will (Spoken):
[01:09.52] I don't know
[01:10.31] I thought the whole breakfast theme was really strong
[01:13.42] Everyone loves breakfast
[01:14.71]
[01:14.87] Nick (Spoken):
[01:15.01] Exactly!
[01:15.53] But there's no Danish, there's no ham, there's no breakfast at all!
[01:19.26] You're completely ignoring the theme
[01:21.10]
[01:21.26] Nigel (Spoken):
[01:21.41] I'm ignoring the breakfast theme because it's ridiculous
[01:24.13]
[01:24.54] Nick:
[01:24.70] Oh, are you hearing yourself? (Nick!)
[01:26.53] I said, are you hearing yourself? (Yes)
[01:28.37] I can't believe you're trying to change direction
[01:30.77] Because you decided that my ideas are wrong (Please)
[01:33.10] I'm wrong
[01:34.34] And this true to yourself thing is right?
[01:35.97]
[01:36.17] Nigel:
[01:36.36] That's not just a line
[01:37.33] It's what I believe
[01:38.11]
[01:38.26] Nick:
[01:38.41] Then you are a fool and really naive
[01:40.17] If you think it's as simple as that
[01:41.69]
[01:41.88] Nigel:
[01:42.02] Well I do
[01:42.45]
[01:42.61] Nick:
[01:42.74] Okay well I don't
[01:43.30]
[01:43.47] Troupe (In Background):
[01:43.63] So what do we do x5
[01:44.82]
[01:45.00] Nigel (Spoken):
[01:45.16] Ah, this is hopeless
[01:47.15] I don't know how to get through to you
[01:49.21] Nick, the fact that you think Omelette is good,
[01:51.86] It worries me
[01:53.90] Guys, can you help me out here
[01:55.69]
[01:55.85] Troupe Member (Spoken):
[01:56.01] You really should listen to him, Nick
[01:57.04] It just makes your heart wanna soar
[01:59.06]
[01:59.24] Troupe:
[01:59.54] Sure as the day follows into night
[02:03.04] Sure as the sky turns to blue
[02:07.03] This much I know
[02:08.96] This much is true
[02:11.07] Above all else, whatever you do
[02:14.83] To thine own self be true
[02:19.60]
[02:19.80] Nick (Spoken):
[02:19.97] Want some truth?
[02:20.61] Here's the truth
[02:21.99] Omelette will be known as perhaps the single greatest play ever written
[02:26.17]
[02:26.36] Nigel (Spoken):
[02:26.49] How can you possibly know that?
[02:28.06]
[02:28.21] Nick (Spoken):
[02:28.36] I just do
[02:29.34]
[02:29.48] Troupe (In Background):
[02:29.63] So what do we do x5
[02:30.78]
[02:30.93] Nick (Spoken):
[02:31.09] This will be talked about for generations to come
[02:34.13] We need a hit
[02:35.30] Not some audience-repelling death play about your descent into madness
[02:38.25]
[02:38.43] Nigel (Spoken):
[02:38.59] This descent into madness, that's you
[02:41.39] Nick, I mean it
[02:42.32] Whatever happened to the guy who inspired me to become a writer?
[02:45.26]
[02:45.43] Nick (Spoken):
[02:45.78] He finally has a great idea
[02:46.96] Now, we open in a week
[02:48.55] Are you going to help me write Omelette or not?
[02:50.37]
[02:50.56] Nigel (Spoken):
[02:50.72] No
[02:51.27]
[02:51.62] Nick (Spoken):
[02:51.79] No?
[02:52.52]
[02:52.73] I can't
[02:54.22] It doesn't feel right
[02:55.88] And deep down, I don't think it feels right to you either
[02:59.08]
[03:00.76] Troupe (In Background):
[03:01.17] So what do we do x4
[03:02.68]
[03:02.85] Nick:
[03:03.02] I'll tell you what we do
[03:05.09] We serve up what they're hungry for
[03:09.03] Omelette the musical
[03:13.49]
[03:14.61] We're on our way to glory
[03:15.96] We'll play for kings and queens
[03:17.80] And there and then they'll see the end will justify the means
[03:21.27]
[03:21.58] Troupe:
[03:21.81] The end will justify the means!
[03:23.61] Sure as the day follows the night
[03:26.43]
[03:27.14] Nick:
[03:27.47] Surely we must see this through (Okay, if you say so)
[03:31.10] Damned if I don't (Don't!)
[03:32.98] Damned if I do (Do!)
[03:34.92] Damn it, I don't have the luxury to
[03:38.66] Hang all my hope on some simplistic trope
[03:42.25] Like to thine own self (To thine own self)
[03:45.26] Be true
[03:46.70]
[03:46.94] Troupe Member:
[03:47.24] Oh God, I hope what he's saying is true
[03:49.27]
[03:49.54] Troupe:
[03:49.80] Please be true
[03:50.46] Please be true
[03:51.66] Please be true
[03:53.71]
