[00:00.30]MAX:
[00:00.40]Did you get a chance yet to read Springtime for Hitler?
[00:02.60]ROGER:
[00:02.74]Read it? I devoured it!
[00:04.92]And I find it remarkable, REMARKABLE!
[00:07.20]MAX:
[00:07.38]Then you'll do it?
[00:08.53]ROGER:
[00:08.68]Do it? Of course not.
[00:10.00]It's not my kind of thing.
[00:11.35]I mean, Max please. World War II?
[00:13.97]Oooo. Too dark, too depressing.
[00:17.02]The theatre's so obsessed
[00:18.62]With dramas so depressed
[00:20.15]It's hard to sell a ticket on Broadway
[00:23.36]Shows should be more pretty
[00:25.10]Shows should be more witty
[00:26.85]Shows should be more...
[00:28.80]What's the word?
[00:31.05]LEO:
[00:31.20]Gay?
[00:32.75]ROGER:
[00:32.90]Exactly!
[00:34.40]No matter what you do on the stage
[00:38.45]Keep it light, keep it bright, keep it gay!
[00:42.00]Whether it's murder, mayhem or rage
[00:46.00]Don't complain, it's a pain
[00:47.86]Keep it gay!
[00:49.96]CARMEN:
[00:50.11]People want laughter when they see a show
[00:53.65]The last thing they're after's a litany of woe
[00:57.00]ROGER & CARMEN:
[00:57.15]A happy ending will pep up your play...
[01:01.22]ROGER:
[01:01.37]Oedipus won't bomb...
[01:02.85]CARMEN:
[01:03.00]If he winds up with Mom!
[01:04.79]ROGER:
[01:04.89]Keep it gay!
[01:05.80]CARMEN:
[01:05.90]Keep it gay...
[01:06.70]ROGER & CARMEN:
[01:06.80]Keep it gay!
[01:09.00]MAX:
[01:09.44]Couldn't agree more.
[01:10.68]And you have our blessings, Roger,
[01:12.67]To make Springtime for Hitler
[01:14.30]Just as gay as anyone could possibly want.
[01:17.00]So, c'mon, do it for us, please.
[01:18.15]ROGER:
[01:18.30]I'm sorry, Max, but it's simply not my cup of tea.
[01:21.85]Still, fair is fair,
[01:24.45]Perhaps I should ask my production team what they think.
[01:27.00]MAX:
[01:27.10]You're production team. Who are they?
[01:28.80]Roger:
[01:28.90]You'll see. They all live here.
[01:31.37]Guys! Come say hello to Bialystock and Bloom!
[01:34.59]This is my set designer, Bryan.
[01:37.82]BRYAN:
[01:37.97]Keep it mad, keep it glad, keep it gay!
[01:41.70]ROGER:
[01:41.83]And here's my costume designer, Kevin.
[01:44.80]KEVIN:
[01:44.96]Hello...
[01:45.85]Keep it happy, keep it snappy, keep it gay!
[01:49.40]BRYAN & KEVIN:
[01:49.52]We're clever, creative
[01:51.40]It's our job to see
[01:53.40]That ev'rything's perfect for Mr. De Bris!
[01:57.16]ROGER:
[01:57.25]Scott, my choreographer...
[01:59.30]SCOTT:
[01:59.40]Hi there...
[02:08.95]ROGER:
[02:09.10]And, ah, finally, last and least, my lighting designer,
[02:13.67]Shirley Markowitz.
[02:17.04]SHIRLEY:
[02:17.19]Keep it gay, keep it gay, keep it gay
[02:24.46]ROGER:
[02:24.61]Now, they all just read Springtime.
[02:26.71]What do you think of it fellas?
[02:28.31]BRYAN:
[02:28.41]It needs glamour...
[02:29.40]KEVIN:
[02:29.50]And blitz...
[02:30.40]SCOTT:
[02:30.50]It needs sequence...
[02:31.55]SHIRLEY:
[02:31.65]And Tits.
[02:32.95]MAX:
[02:33.10]Roger, I think that Springtime for Hitler
[02:35.70]Would be a marvelous opportunity for you.
[02:37.93]I mean, up to now,
[02:39.00]You've always been associated with...
[02:41.01]Dare I say it,
[02:41.90]Frivolous musicals.
[02:43.05]ROGER:
[02:43.20]You're right.
[02:43.82]I've often felt as though...
[02:45.07]I've been throwing my life away on silly little entertainments.
[02:47.95]Deopy showgirls in gooey gowns.
[02:51.00]It's enough to make you heave.
[02:52.52]Nonetheless, I'm sorry, Max.
[02:54.08]I just couldn't do Springtime for Hitler.
[02:56.05]MAX:
[02:56.16]Why not? Think of the respect.
[02:57.55]ROGER:
[02:57.60]No.
[02:58.19]MAX:
[02:58.29]Think of the prestige.
[02:58.98]ROGER:
[02:59.07]No, no, no.
[02:59.70]MAX:
[02:59.80]Think of ... the Tony!
[03:02.11]CARMEN & THE TEAM:
[03:02.26]Tony...Tony...Tony...Tony...Tony!
[03:06.05]ROGER:
[03:06.15]Ngaaaaaahhhhh!
[03:06.50]MAX:
[03:06.61]What's the matter?
[03:07.33]LEO:
[03:07.43]Is he all right?
[03:08.05]CARMEN:
[03:08.15]He's having a stroke...
[03:08.88]MAX & LEO:
[03:08.98]What?
[03:09.15]CARMEN:
[03:09.25]...of genius!
[03:10.17]ROGER:
[03:10.27]I see it! At last.
[03:12.25]The chance to do something important!
[03:13.87]CARMEN:
[03:14.02]Roger de Bris presents History!
[03:17.77]ROGER:
[03:17.92]Of course that whole second act has to be rewritten.
[03:20.10]They're losing the war? Excuse me.
[03:22.50]It's too downbeat.
[03:23.30]CARMEN:
[03:23.42]Roger de Bris presents History!
[03:26.90]ROGER:
[03:27.05]But maybe...
[03:28.80]Uh...it's a wile idea, but it just might work...
[03:32.84]I see a line of beautiful girls
[03:43.55]Dressed as storm troopers, each one a gem
[03:46.65]With leather boots and whips on their hips
[03:50.00]It's risque, dare I say, S & M!
[03:52.63]CARMEN & THE TEAM:
[03:52.73]Love it!
[03:53.00]ROGER:
[03:53.10]I see German soldiers dancing through France
[03:56.25]Played by chorus boys in very tight pants
[03:59.21]And wait, there's more - they win the war!
[04:02.30]And the dances they do will be daring and new
[04:06.03]Turn-turn-kick-turn, turn-turn-kick-turn
[04:07.51]One-two-three-kick-turn!
[04:08.60]Keep it sassy, keep it classy, keep it...
[04:10.45]MAX:
[04:10.55]That is brilliant. Brilliant!
[04:12.01]I speak for Mr.Bloom and myself, Roger,
[04:14.59]When I say that you are the only man in the world
[04:16.81]Who can do justice to Springtime for Hitler.
[04:19.90]Will you do it, please?
[04:21.35]LEO:
[04:21.45]Please.
[04:21.70]ROGER:
[04:21.82]Wait a minute. This is a very big decision.
[04:24.17]It might affect the course of my entire life.
[04:26.15]I shall have to think about it...
[04:27.90]I'll do it. I'll do it!
[04:32.24]Sabu, champagne!
[04:34.80]ROGER, CARMEN & THE TEAM:
[04:34.95]If at the end you want them to cheer
[04:38.22]Keep it gay, keep it gay, keep it gay
[04:41.20]Whether it's Hamlet, Othello or Lear
[04:44.47]Keep it gay, keep it gay, keep it gay
[04:47.91]CARMEN:
[04:48.06]Comedy's joyous, a constant delight
[04:51.17]Dramas annoy us...
[04:52.50]ROGER & CARMEN:
[04:52.60]...and ruin our night.
[04:53.78]ROGER, CARMEN & THE TEAM:
[04:53.88]So keep your Strindbergs and Ibsens at bay...
[04:57.20]ROGER:
[04:57.30]I'll sign...
[04:58.35]KEVIN:
[04:58.45]Sign...
[04:59.22]BRYAN:
[04:59.32]Sign...
[04:59.92]SCOTT:
[05:00.02]Sign...
[05:00.64]CARMEN:
[05:00.74]Sign...
[05:01.39]SHIRLEY:
[05:01.49]Sign...
[05:02.14]MAX & LEO:
[05:02.24]Sign...
[05:03.70]ROGER:
[05:03.80]Roger Elizabeth De Bris!
[05:06.05]ALL:

[05:15.00]Conga!

[05:20.15]La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
[05:23.25]And so the rule is
[05:25.50]When mounting a play
[05:27.10]Keep it gay
[05:28.70]Keep it gay
[05:30.15]Keep it gay!
