1,Candle-lit Love
ROY,How nice you look,
MYRA,Thank you,
ROY,What do dancers eat?
MYRA,Oh,dull things mostly,Nutritious yet not fattening,
ROY,Oh,no,not tonight,(To waiter) What could you suggest that
would be particularly rich and indigestible?
WAITER,The grouse is very nice,sir,
ROY,And wine,It isn't against the rules for a dancer to drink a
little light wine,is it?
MYRA,Well,tonight..,
ROY,Good,Number Forty,please,
WAITER,Number Forty,
ROY,You're a strange girl,aren't you? What's the good of
anything? What's the good of living?
MYRA,That's a question,too,
ROY,Oh,now wait a minute,I'm not going to let you get
away with that,The wonderful thing about living is that
this sort of thing can happen,In the shadow of a death raid,
I can meet you and feel more intensely alive than walking
around in peacetime and taking my life for granted,
MYRA,It's high price to pay for it,
ROY,I don't think so,
MYRA,I do,Do people have to kill each other to give them
a heightened sense of life?
ROY,But that's got nothing to do with people killing
each other,Either you're excited about life or you're not,
You know I've never been able to wait for the future,
MYRA,You should let the future catch up with you more
slowly,
ROY,Oh,no,no,never,Temperament,I can't help it,
Look here,if we'd met in ordinary times in an ordinary
way,we'd just about be telling each other what schools
we went to,We're much further along,don't you think?
MYRA,Are we?
ROY,You know we are,Now,I'm too excited to eat,Let's
dance,
MYRA,All right,

see what we can do,How would you like to be the smartest
woman in London?
MYRA,No,Roy,I can't,

someone else,isn't there,darling? After all,you thought me
dead,There is someone else,isn't there? Don't be afraid,Tell

Auld Lang Syne
Theme song of the movie Waterloo Bridge,It’s
also the most common song for most English-
speaking people to sing on New Year’s Eve,
“Auld Lang Syne” is an extremely old Scottish
song that was first written down in the 1700s,It
tells about the need to remember old friends,
No one knows who wrote the poem first,
Robert Burns is the person whose transcription
got the most attention,A good translation of
the words,auld lang syne” is,times gone by.”
So when we sing this song,we are saying,“We’ll
drink a cup of kindness yet for times gone by.”
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne,my friends,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne,
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
and days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne,my friends,
for auld lang syne,
We’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet
For auld lang syne
Auld Lang Syne
See you
