The Beggar's Opera1953

Genre: Crime, History, Musical


The Beggar:
You're never Captain MacHeath, sir!

Captain MacHeath:
Never Captain MacHeath, sir? At my mother's breast I was Captain MacHeath, sir!

The Beggar:
I would rather not think so! You're not at all as I imagined. No... no... no. I've overwritten you. My captain is higher by two or three inches.

Captain MacHeath:
Hmmm. Wll, sir, thanks to you I shall be higher this time tomorrow by the height of a hangman's card.

The Beggar:
No, Captain, you'd never do. There is more of you in two bars of my opera than there is in your own body.

Captain MacHeath:
Well, I'm sorry for it.

The Beggar:
[Disappointed] There's no arguing with reality.
