Carousel, Act I - Finale (音乐剧《旋转木马》，第一幕 - 终曲)

"Nettie (spoken)

Hey you roustabouts! Time to get goin’! Come and help us carry everythin’ on the boats!

First Man (offstage) (spoken)

All right, Nettie, we’re comin’!

Second Man (spoken)

Don’t need to hev a fit about it.

Nettie (spoken)

Hey, Billy! What’s this Julie says about you not goin’ to the clambake?

Billy (spoken)

Clambake? Mebbe I will go, after all!

(Jigger enters.)

(to Nettie)

There’s Jigger! I gotta talk to him. Jigger! Hey, Jigger! Come here – quick!

Nettie (spoken)

I’ll tell Julie you’re comin’. She’ll be tickled pink!

(She goes into the house.)

Billy (spoken)

Jigger, I changed my mind! You know – about goin’ to the clambake, and...

I’ll do everythin’ like you said. Gotta get money on account of the baby, see?

Jigger (spoken)

Sure, the baby!

(pulls Billy closer and lowers his voice)

Did you get the knife?

Billy (spoken)

Knife?

Jigger (spoken)

I only got a pocket knife.

If he shows fight we’ll need a real one.

Billy (spoken)

But I ain’t got...

Jigger (spoken)

Go inside and take the kitchen knife.

Billy (spoken)

Somebody might see me.

Jigger (spoken)

Take it so they don’t see you!

(Billy looks indecisive.)

(Julie enters on the run to Billy from the house.)

Julie (spoken)

Billy, is it true? Are you comin’ to the clambake?

Billy (spoken)

I think so. Yes.

(She puts her arm around his waist. He puts his arms around her.)

Julie (spoken)

We’ll hev a barrel of fun. I’ll show you all over the island. Know every inch of it.

Been goin’ to picnics there since I been a little girl.

Jigger (spoken)

Billy! Billy! Y’better go and get that...

Julie (spoken)

Get what, Billy?

Billy (spoken)

Why...

Jigger (spoken)

The shawl. Billy said you oughter have a shawl. Gets cold at nights. Fog comes up –

ain’t that what you said?

(People start entering with baskets, pies,

jugs, etc., ready to go to the clambake.)

Billy (spoken)

Y-yes. I better go get it – the shawl.

Julie (spoken)

Now, that was real thoughtful, Billy.

(Nettie comes out of the house. The stage is pretty well crowded by now.)

Billy (spoken)

I’ll go and get it!

(He exits into the house quickly.)

Nettie (spoken)

C’mon, all!

(From the house come girls carrying cakes,

pies, butter crocks; Men carrying baskets.)

(sung)

June is bustin’ out all over!

Women and Men

The flowers are bustin’ from their seed!

Nettie

And the pleasant life of Riley,

That is spoken of so highly,

Is the life that ev’rybody wants to lead!

All

Because it’s June!

June – June – June!

Jest because it’s June – June – June!

(They begin to exit.)

Because it’s June!

Because it’s June!

Because it’s June!

Because it’s June!
