01x03 - Delores

[bunniefuu]

(energetic piano music)

One look at me ♪

Who couldn't see ♪

Mother Nature gave her best ♪

- And big breath.

If you see my face ♪

As the only grace ♪

Then surely observe the rest ♪

When making my entrance heads

turn ♪

To see every inch

of my curves ♪

Oh.

- What's the problem, Delores?

- Who am I kidding?

- Look how that light hits you.

You're a star.

- You're just a sweet talker,

Tony.

- Delores, you've been

working so hard for this.

- Yeah, exactly.

Too hard.

Either you got it or you don't.

Maybe I don't.

- Okay, look. Maybe

you're just having trouble

connecting with the song.

It's gotta come from the body,

right?

You gotta be aware of your

posture,

your breath, your diaphragm.

- My what?

- No, not that diaphragm.

You were married, weren't you?

- Yes. I had a whole life before

I joined

the old lady choir.

Are you married?

- No.

- [Delores] Hmm.

- Tell me about your first

date with your husband.

How did it make you feel?

- He bought us a box at the

opera.

Damned if I knew what language

it was in.

The thing dragged on for hours.

The whole time,

I was just waiting for him to

make a move

put a hand on my leg, anything.

Finally, the girl on stage stabs

herself

and the lights go down.

(heavy breathing)

I lean over to get my purse

and I feel Harold's hand go up

my skirt.

Goosebumps!

Anyway, you don't need

to know the details,

but that's how I came to love

opera.

(gentle piano music that stops

abruptly)

- Good. Okay.

Try from the beginning.

- I'll tell you, this isn't

gonna work.

- Just try.

One, two, three.

- It's gone.

- What's gone?

- The memory.

- May I touch you?

- Sure, but nothing funny.

I got mace in my purse.

- Okay. Now, now breathe into my

hands.

Good. Now, take it from where we

left off.

(gentle piano music)

(images whooshing)

When making my entrance

heads turn, ah ah ah ah ah ♪

To see every inch of my

curves, ah ah ah ah ah ♪

With just one conversation ♪

They dream of fornication ♪

(people applauding)

(upbeat organ music)

So, I got the part?

Yes or no?

Yes.

You're going?

Well, I gotta get home to the

boys.

- The boys.

(energetic piano music)

I'll show you my high C next

time.

- I wait with bated

breath, my prima donna.

(floor creaking gently)

(energetic piano music)

(upbeat organ music)

(upbeat organ music continues)
