Marlene & Rebecca - Part 83

Too old. Has no experience. Can't dance. Speaks only English. According to the artistic director of Lily Rose, both the first cast and her replacement are still down with the flu. It's really the plague of this year! ***, tomorrow's show is sold out! I thought that we'll finally manage to start making profits this month ! Maybe Marlene's available. . . I have released Marlene from her contract, so that she could accept other engagements. - As long as she doesn't have anything, she could still sign with you. - I'll think of something. How ? You have until tomorrow to find someone who knows the play, the text, - and can jump in. How many candidates do you think you'll have? - I'll find out! And if I can find anyone, I'll have to cancel the show! It's not just about you and Marlene. You also have to avoid financial damages. - In other words, you just simply can't afford to cancel the show. - Don't worry, I'll find someone ! - Where is he going ? - Don't worry ! No ! What isn't there to understand in "No" ? I wanted to talk to you again. . . . . . about Marlene. There's nothing to talk about. You know how great she is. So are others. She has played the role for months. Tristan, she IS Lily Rose ! Why do you think the attendence figures have dropped ? Marlene has more fans than her replacement will ever have ! Could be. Besides, she's a real professionnal ! If you've come here to sing the praises of your ex-wife, then. . . . . .no, it's not about that. It's about you. I think it's about time for you to forgive her ! What exactly ? That she left me for our little sister, or that she's made a fool out of me for months ? And what about you ? Didn't you make a fool out of her ? First, you generously release her from the contract, and then, you make sure she can't find another engagement again ! - And you destroy her reputation in the whole business ? - I don't owe Marlene anything ! - Without me, she would have never had a career ! - Do it for you ! And for your musical ! You being angry with Marlene cannot influence such an important business decision ! First, I'm not angry, and second, you're not telling me how to run my business ! In that case, I see only one possibility : You should play the part. You already have the right amount of melodrama for it ! Ahhh, come on ! WHAT does he want ??? Tristan's both Lily Rose casts are sick...flu epidemic. He cancels the whole show just because someone got sick ? - Bit irrealistic, isn't it ? - To be honest, the attendence figures are dropping at a very fast rate. Since you've been gone, actually. Tristan is at the head of Lahnstein Entertanement. It's on him. The solution is obvious Marlene. . . . . . you are Lily Rose ! Could you imagine playing the part again ? That's out of the question ! - Not after everything that has happened ! - I'd take care of Tristan. And if I have to, I'll force the board to keep playing Lily Rose ! Would you think about it ? You agree with me, right ? I mean, you don't want to work with Tristan anymore, do you? Yes, of course. There's nothing to think about. Good. - Come on then ! Shopping ! - Shopping ! There has to be a singer who knows the musical and who could jump in tomorrow ! What about Stefanie Massen ? - You're thinking about Lily Rose, right ? - And Corinna Korbmacher ? Ah, you know, I'm just probably sentimental. It was my part. But I guess it's time to let Lily Rose go. I see. Keep looking, we're running out of time ! I'm sure you'll soon find yourself a new part, in which you'll be even more fantastic ! - I'm hungry ! - Mmmh, me too ! Shopping is so tiring ! God, are you drunk ? Marlene, I . . . I love you. I am so sorry. I can't marry you. Is Marlene here ? She's in the bathroom. Could you give her a message ? I. . . I'm in urgent need of a replacement for Lily Rose, and. . . . . .I would be glad if she would accept to play the part. - Don't you want to tell her that yourself ? - No, I don't think it would be a good idea. I won't give her a hard time, promise. Tell her please that she's the best for the part. She should contact the director tomorrow, OK ? What did Tristan want here ? You won't believe this, but. . . he wants you to play Lily Rose.
