Pippin: His Life and Times

Charlemagne:
Sometimes I wonder if the fornicating I'm getting is worth the fornicating I'm getting.

Charlemagne:
Your brother Luis is an ideal soldier: he is strong and stupid.

Berthe:
Sometimes I think men raise flags when they can't get anything else up.

The leading player:
Look at her, Pippin! She has a mole! You're willing to spend the rest of your life with a woman who has a MOLE!

The leading player:
Think about the sun, Pippin... think about her golden glance. How she lights the world up - well, now it's your chance! With the guardians of splendor inviting you to dance... Pippin. Think about the sun.

Fastrada:
When I help others, I'm really helping myself!

The leading player:
Lewis is strong. Lewis loves fighting. Lewis loves wrestling. But most of all, Lewis loves Lewis.

The leading player:
Sweet summer evenings, sapphire skies, feasting your belly, feasting your eyes. Simple joys have a simple voice that says time is living's prize. And wouldn't you rather be a left-handed flea, a crab on a slab at the bottom of the sea, a newt on the root of a banyan tree, a fig on twig in Galilee, than a man who never learns how to be free?

Pippin:
GLORY'S IN THE AIR! GLORY'S IN THE AIR! AND WHAT AM I DOING? I'm running around in a dark stage like an Idiot.

The leading player:
You're supposed to read the line "naggingly!"

Catherine:
He put his hand on my thigh, they've never done that before -

The leading player:
I don't care where he puts his hand!

Catherine:
Do you feel you compromised your dream?

Pippin:
No.

Catherine:
How do you feel?

Pippin:
Trapped. Which isn't bad for the end of a musical comedy.

Pippin:
I know this is a musical comedy, but I want my life to have meaning!

Pippin:
(Song lyrics) Rivers belong where they can ramble/ Eagles belong where they can fly/ I've got to be where my spirit can run free/ Gotta find my corner of the sky.

Pippin:
That's the finale? It was just a trick.

The leading player:
Well, when he did it, it was a trick. When you do it, it'll be real.
