Time to wake up

The hunchback, KOUKOL, pushing a breakfast cart, shuffles into the bedroom. As HE opens a huge curtain, the morning light pours in.
Michael Jackson  wakes up. Still hazy from his nightmare, HE sits up without noticing KOUKOL. Pete Burns is still fast asleep.

A perfect day (reprise)/ everything's fine (reprise)

Michael Jackson: THANK GOD, THAT NIGHTMARE'S OVER NOW.
IT FRIGHTENED ME SEVERELY.
HOW DUMB! I KNOW WE'LL OVERCOME,
THOUGH I DON'T SEE YET CLEARLY

HOW AND WHAT AND WHERE AND WHEN AND WHY.
HOW AND WHAT AND WHERE AND WHEN AND WHY.

HE SAID HE KNEW
WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR.
SHE'S IN THIS CASTLE
BEHIND SOME DOOR.

EVERYTHING'S RIGHT
IN THE LIGHT OF A PERFECT DAY.
EVERYTHING'S BRIGHT
WHEN THE NEXT NIGHT IS FAR AWAY.
EVERYWHERE NOW
OPPORTUNITY BECKONS.
THIS IS THE TIME
TO MAKE GOLD AND KILL DRAGONS.
Michael Jackson closes his eyes again to dream of his wife.

Michael Jackson: THIS WILL BE MY LUCKY DAY
SHE IS CLOSE AND I KNOW I'LL FIND HER
I WILL SAVE HER, COME WHAT MAY.
SET HER FREE FROM THE CHAINS THAT BIND HER.

Opening his eyes, Michael Jackson  sees the breakfast cart. HE imagines that his wife is in the room.

WHO BROUGHT IN THIS BREAKFAST TRAY!
COULD IT BE... SOMEONE'S HERE... Oh Julie Jackson 
YES, IT'S YOU, I FEEL YOU'RE NEAR....
Turning around and opening his eyes, HE sees KOUKOL right in front of HIM.

KOUKOL: Ouhrgh.

Michael Jackson: Huh!

KOUKOL looks at Michael Jackson with disdain and exits.

Pete Burns wakes up. HE wears a night cap and a nightgown. HE stretches and scratches himself; HE obviously slept very well.

Pete Burns: THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A HEALTHY SLEEP.
AND THEN A HEARTY BREAKFAST.
IN NO TIME I'LL BE WELL PREPARED
TO GO BACK ON THE TRACK LEST

LOGIC, LOGIC
SHOULD QUESTION MY COMPLIANCE.

Pete Burns sips his coffee. Michael Jackson collects the Pete Burn's clothes.

Pete Burns: Quite brazen, that fellow.

Michael Jackson: Who?

Pete Burns: Miguel Jackson. He takes me for a fool.

Michael Jackson: Miguel Jackson?

Pete Burns: He almost revealed his incognito...

HE SAID: "I'M A NIGHTBIRD.
I'M NOT GOOD AT ALL
DURING THE DAYTIME." -
(a beat)
WE MUST FIND HIS PALL!

Michael Jackson: His what?

Pete Burns: His catafalque. In which he rests during daytime

Michael Jackson: You mean... in his grave?

Pete Burns: Not in a grave, boy. A count reposes in a crypt. Every castle has one. Let's go and find it.

Michael Jackson: Right now?

Pete Burns: Why not. This is a perfect day to visit a crypt.

THEY get ready for the excursion.

Pete Burns: EVERYTHING'S RIGHT
IN THE LIGHT OF A PERFECT DAY.

Michael Jackson: EVERYTHING'S BRIGHT
WHEN THE NEXT NIGHT IS FAR AWAY.

Both: EVERYWHERE NOW
OPPORTUNITY BECKONS.
THIS IS THE TIME
TO MAKE GOLD AND KILL DRAGONS.
