"You've got spirit. You're hired." |
 |
On opening night, Kiki falls out of line
with the other chorus girls, eventually tumbling into the orchestra
pit and through the harp strings. |
 |
Kiki cries when she gets her dismissal letter
from Renal. He takes pity on her when she tells him she spent
her last "sou" on clothes in which to audition for
the show. |
 |
Paulette: "This is a great evening for
you, dearie. I can't imagine that you drink champagne often."
Kiki: "No --- as a rule I bathe in it. The
bubbles tickle my skin so --"
|
 |
Renal tries to get passionate with Kiki back
at his home, but she slaps him. |
 |
Adolphe warns Kiki, "Don't you understand?
You're eating the master's breakfast!" Kiki is unmoved. |
 |
Baron Rapp tells Kiki that Renal no longer
wants her in the house and wants him to take her away. "I
can do so much more for you than he could. You'll have anything
your little heart desires." |
 |
Kiki is heartbroken when she opens the door
and sees Renal and Paulette embrace. |
 |
Feigning catalepsy, Kiki is perfectly rigid - so
much so that Renal is able to prop her up against the footboard
of the bed. |
 |
Renal: "You little fraud -- why did you invent
this cataleptic fit?"
Kiki: "So I wouldn't have to leave. When the
doctor said catalepsy could last for two years -- I fell for
that disease strong."
