Fourth Scene
(Geena, with the bloom in her hands starts singing her
song)
Since I was a kid in New Orleans
I’ve been dreaming to play comedy
In the daylight I’m glad to wash and clean
But in the night I live no misery
What does it matter for a girl
But happiness and love?
While sweeping the streets of the town
I’m sure my Mel won’t never let me down!
Third Scene
(J.B. and Geena)
J.B. – (shouting
at Geena who is coming) – Hurry up you, young girl!
Geena ( in a rush, wearing her work overall) :
Sorry, Papa John Brook! I was suing my scene dress all night along!!
J.B. (softening
his voice): Start from here your daily service and don’t forget to collect the papers from the ground!
Geena: (starts sweeping with the broom) Rely on me
J.B.!
J.B. (preparing to
leave): And please make sure each
dustbin will be empty!
Geena: (l.b) Of
course I will!
J.B (l.b) I need
to go to the Drama School to make anything ready for the final essay tonight!
Geena: Oh JB! I
can’t stand waiting fo it!
Exit

Second Scene
(eleven cleaners have gone. Only a trolley is left)
J. B. : There always someone who is bloody late at
work! In the old times this wouldn’t be allowed!
(occupying the center of the scene J.B. will sing his
song)
Though this wonderful town
Was toughly hit to the Ground
It still maintains
the supremacy
We live, when the others live,
And we still live when the others sleep!
That’s why it needs
Anybody’s efforts
To be kept clean and safe
And growing higher,
Higher and higher!

Come on! Laissez faire, laissez passer!
Today is not time
To arrest people anymore!
Don’t you know is November the 9th 1989?
Today there is not time
To stop goods anymore!
Come on!
Only one thousand dollars
Will cost you
A plenty full track!
At 9 past 21 p.m.
The wall is falling down!
Laissez faire, laissez passer!
There are bound to be changes
For our lives further on!
It’s crashing down
Together with our illusions
Their false promises
The wrong secular hope!
Come on!
The wall is not hiding anymore
The totems of progress!
Let’s go worshipping
The glittering gods
Bounding ahead
