Andrew Lloyd Webber - The Document lyrics

Laura: You wanted me? Percival: I have a document for you to sign. Laura: A document? Percival: Sit here - use my pen. Laura: A document? What kind of document? Percival: Just sign it here, and here, and we'll be done. Laura: Now? Percival: It's a formality. Sign your name, Lady Glyde. Here on the line. Laura: What are you asking me to sign? Fosco: Percival - you said you needed me. I'm at your service. Ah, bonjourno, ladies. I trust you slept well? Percival: I need a witness to Laura's signature. Laura: Again, what is this document? Percival: Sign your name Lady Glyde. Marian: Sir, she has a right to know. Percival: It pertains, Miss Halcombe, to a man and his wife! Laura: Then let me read it first. That isn't asking much. Percival: Sign, I have a carriage waiting. Marian: Do you know what's in these papers? Fosco: I'm as ignorant as you and Lady Glyde. Percival: Sign! Laura: But I cannot sign what I haven't read! Percival: It is too involved for your pretty head. As a sign of trust, please pick up the pen. Laura: I will read it first, I will trust you then. Marian: Let our lawyers bless, what you want from her, and she'll acquiesce with her signature! Percival: You've a pointed tone that I will not bear - Marian: That's a point of view I completely share! Percival: Sign your name Lady Glyde! Infernal women - you know nothing about business. Fosco: Uhhm! Calmly, my dear friend - Lady Glyde's upset, so is her sister. Can't the papers wait another day? Percival: This is a timely matter, and it will not wait! Laura: I will gladly sign, when I know what it is. Fosco: Forget about the signature, I'm urging you, please. As a man of honour - be pacient. Marian: Send the carriage away. Fosco: In all good conscience I could not be a witness now. Percival: For God's sake, woman, sign! I will not stand for it, I will not! Marian: Stop it! Percival: She's still my wife, she'll do as I say! Fosco: Your temper, sir! Percival: Stay out of my way! You must be confined 'till you see the light - Marian: This is not a jail - Fosco: Sir, this is not right! Percival: She should gladly do anything I say. She's a wilful child, who will have her way! Fosco: GLYDE! You must hold your tongue! You must not react! You must leave at once - your good name intact! You'll be fine, Lady Glyde. Laura: Don't touch me! Fosco: You're safe, my dear, you will be all right. His bark is far worse than his bite. His temper flares, don't be alarmed. He will come down, you won't be harmed. Marian: Without your aid, where would we be? Fosco: How could I not? Laura: Don't come near me! Marian: He is our friend. Look what he's done. Laura: I don't trust him - or anyone! Fosco: You'll be fine, Lady Glyde.
