Together at Last

Spadina Avenue

SHARKY: [sings] Together at last!

MARIA: [also sings] Together forever!

SHARKY: We're tying a knot!

MARIA: They never can sever!

SHARKY: I don't need sunshine now to turn my skies to blue!

BOTH: I don't need anything but YOU!

BOTH LAUGH: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

MARIA: [speaking] Sharky, why did we ever break up in the first place?

SHARKY: Baby, we were never a couple. We were just hanging out.

MARIA: Well, that's all changed!

SHARKY: It sure has ... [sings] Yesterday was plain awful!

MARIA: You can say that again.

SHARKY: Yesterday was plain awful!

BOTH: But that's not now! That's then!

SHARKY: [talking] Hey, isn't this a fine, fine summer evening here on Spadina Avenue in Toronto town?

MARIA: I'll say.

SHARKY: Look at where we are. Standing in front of the ol' Rivoli.

MARIA: Remember the nights we used to spend there, sneaking sips of liquor because of the Prohibition?

SHARKY: And how! Whadya say, baby? You want to head on up ... for old time's sake?

MARIA: Let's go!

They walk up and are greeted by Nadia.

NADIA: Ah, Sharky, old friend ... it's been a long time.

SHARKY: How's it goin', toots?

NADIA: Do you ever have blue days? Days when it seems like the sun will never shine?

SHARKY: I did before I met Maria.

NADIA: Well, if you ever have them again, just remember this little ditty ...

MARIA: Oh my gosh, she's going to sing us a song!

NADIA: [Shatner-esque spoken word] When I'm stuck ... with a day, that's grey and lonely.

MARIA: That's sad. I might cry.

SHARKY: Cry, baby, cry.

NADIA: I just stick .. up ... my chin and grin and say!

SHARKY: She's gonnna belt it outta the park!

NADIA: OOOOOoooohhhh!

SHARKY: Woooo!

NADIA: [sings] The sun will come out, tomorrow, so you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow .... come what may ...

MARIA: Here it comes ...

NADIA: TOMORROW, TOMORROW, I'LL LOVE YA', TOMORROW! YOU'RE ONLY A DAAAAAYYY ... AAAAA ... WAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!

[ HUGE APPLAUSE ]

NADIA: And remember kids, winners don't use drugs!

[ CURTAIN ]
