Hadestown watches Hadestown!

Come Home With Me

I was listening to A Day In Falsettoland, Six, and Prologue/The Day I Got Expelled while writing this in my science class.

[HERMES]
You want to talk to her

"Oh is this when we met?" Eurydice asked Orpheus.

"Yeah, I think so." he replied.

[ORPHEUS]
Yes

[HERMES]
Go on.
Orpheus

[ORPHEUS]
Yes?

[HERMES]
Don't come on too strong

"Now if I remember correctly....." Eurydice said with a smile.

"Shut up." Orpheus said playfully.

[ORPEUS]

Come home with me

[EURYDICE]
Who are you?

[ORPHEUS]
The man who's gonna marry you
I'm Orpheus

Everyone burst out laughing at this line, even the fates let a small smile show through.

[EURYDICE]
Is he always like this?

[HERMES]

Yes

"Hermes's you're not the god of truth!" Elizabeth said this as a joke but nobody got it. "Apollo's the god of truth, you're very straight forward throughout the musical... you know what never mind." she further elaborated. 

[EURYDICE]
I'm Eurydice

[ORPHEUS]
Your name is like a melody

[EURYDICE]
A singer, is that what you are?

[ORPHEUS]
I also play the lyre

[EURYDICE]
Oh a liar and a player too
I've met too many men like you

"That's a clever line." Orpheus said quietly.

[ORPHEUS]
Oh no I'm not like that

[HERMES]
He's not like any man you've met
Tell her what you're working on

"Thank you again." Orpheus said to Hermes.

Hermes nodded at him.

[ORPHEUS]
Im working on a song
It isn't finished yet
But when its done and when I sing it
Spring will come again

[EURYDICE]
Come again?

[ORPHEUS]
Spring will come

"That could work..." Persephone mused.

[EURYDICE]
When? I haven't seen a spring or fall since... I can't recall

Persephone gave Hades a look.

[ORPHEUS]That's what I'm working on
A song to fix what's wrong
Take what's broken
Make it whole
A song so beautiful
It brings the world back into tune
Back into time
And all the flowers will bloom
When you become me wife

"Very straight forward." Hades said, more as an observation than anything.

[EURYDICE]
Oh he's crazy. Why would I become his wife?

"I'm glad I did." Eurydice said.

Orpheus smiled at that.

[HERMES]
Maybe because he'll make you feel alive

[EURYDICE]
Alive? That's worth a lot
What else you got?

"I mean it really is." Eurydice stated. 

"I know right, like I personally am dead inside." Elizabeth said cheerily.

Everyone looked concerned.
