Live from Lincoln Center1976

Heavenly Friend:
[after Billy hits Louise's hand] Failure. You struck out blindly again. Is that the only way you know how to treat those you love? Failure.

Julie Jordan:
Where is he? [sees Billy and is shaken]

Billy Bigelow:
I don't want her to see me.

Heavenly Friend:
[waves arm] Then she doesn't.

Billy Bigelow:
I think she saw me before I said it.

Louise Bigelow:
He's gone! I didn't make it up, Mother. Honest, there was a strange man here and he hit me hard. I heard the sound of it. But it didn't hurt, Mother! It didn't hurt at all. It was almost as if - he kissed my hand! Don't you believe me, Mother?

Julie Jordan:
I believe you.

Louise Bigelow:
Then why are you acting so funny?

Julie Jordan:
It's nothing, darling.

Louise Bigelow:
But is it possible, Mother, for someone to hit you hard like tha - real loud and hard - and not hurt you at all?

Julie Jordan:
It's possible, dear - for someone to hit you - hit you hard and not hurt at all. [hugs Louise, Louise leaves. Julie sits down on bench]

Billy Bigelow:
Julie! Julie! [singing] Longing to tell you, but afraid and shy, I let my golden chances pass me by. Now I've lost you; [Julie notices Billy's star and reaches for it] soon I will go in the mist of day, and you never will know hiw I loved you, how I loved you. [Julie takes the star and leaves]

Billy Bigelow:
[speaking] She took the star! She took it! It's as if she knew I was here.

Heavenly Friend:
Julie would always know.
