Testi Soundtracks :: A

CORA:

Cherchez la femme.

There's always a woman

To spoil the illusion,

The rotten banana

That ruins the bunch.

There's always a woman

Who causes confusion.

There's nothing as low as a woman.

We must lunch.



FAY:

Love to.



CORA:

Noonish?



FAY:

Tomorrow.



CORA:

Today.



FAY:

My place?



CORA:

Mine.



FAY:

There's always a woman,

The one disappointment.

The note that goes sour

And gums up the tune,

The ant at the picnic,

The fly in the ointment.

There's nothing so slow as a woman.

Ring me soon!



CORA:

Love to.



FAY:

'Voir.



CORA:

Leaving?



FAY:

I thought...



CORA:

I know.



FAY:

I tried.



BOTH:

It's always a woman,

The counterfeit check,



FAY:

The snake in the woodpile,



CORA:

The pain in the neck.



BOTH:

The sand in the oyster

That isn't a pearl.

There's nothing as low as a woman...

Darling girl.



CORA:

Pet!



FAY:

Lamb!



CORA:

Dove!



FAY:

Fish.



CORA:

The run in the stocking,

The snag in the zipper,

The weather in London,

The water in France.

It's always a woman.

It's Jacqueline the Ripper.

There's nothing as low as a woman.

Shall we dance?

Two hearts.



FAY:

Three clubs.



CORA:

I pass.



FAY:

There's always a woman,

A crimp in the writing,

The hole in the sidewalk,

The gum on the shoe.

She almost looks human-

It must be the lighting.

Whatever it is, it's a woman.

How are you?



CORA:

Fine.



FAY:

Pity.



BOTH:

It's always a woman,



FAY:

The hand in the hill,



CORA:

The five dollar diamond,



FAY:

the three-dollar bill.



BOTH:

A genius for trickery

That's second to none.

There's nothing as low as a woman.

Isn't this fun?

Lovely.

Charming.

Delicious.



FAY:

Stunning.



CORA:

Fabulous.



FAY:

Gorgeous.



BOTH:

Exquisite.



CORA, FAY (Alternately):

A knife would be perfect-

A gun would be perfect-

It's quick and it's quiet.

At least I could try it.

I hear they do wonders

And you can do wonders

With poisonous gas.

With silvers of glass,

There's always the quarry-

There's always curare-

She'd never be found.

I have some around.

A noose is efficient-

Bamboo is efficient-

She won't make a sound.

As long as it's ground.

Whatever will do it,

Whatever will do it,

If anything will.

If anything will.



BOTH:

There's nothing as low as a woman.



CORA:

Sneak.



FAY:

Thief.

Cheat.

Ghoul.



BOTH:

Police!

Shoot to kill!
