Carousel with the New York Philharmonic

"Heavenly Friend: [after Billy hits Louise's hand] Failure. You struck out blindly again. Is that the only way you know how to treat those you love? Failure. Julie Jordan: Where is he? [sees Billy and is shaken] Billy Bigelow: I don't want her to see me. Heavenly Friend: [waves arm] Then she doesn't. Billy Bigelow: I think she saw me before I said it. Louise Bigelow: He's gone! I didn't make it up, Mother. Honest, there was a strange man here and he hit me hard. I heard the sound of it. But it didn't hurt, Mother! It didn't hurt at all. It was almost as if - he kissed my hand! Don't you believe me, Mother? Julie Jordan: I believe you. Louise Bigelow: Then why are you acting so funny? Julie Jordan: It's nothing, darling. Louise Bigelow: But is it possible, Mother, for someone to hit you hard like tha - real loud and hard - and not hurt you at all? Julie Jordan: It's possible, dear - for someone to hit you - hit you hard and not hurt at all. [hugs Louise, Louise leaves. Julie sits down on bench] Billy Bigelow: Julie! Julie! [singing] Billy Bigelow: Longing to tell you, but afraid and shy, I let my golden chances pass me by. Now I've lost you; [Julie notices Billy's star and reaches for it] Billy Bigelow: soon I will go in the mist of day, and you never will know hiw I loved you, how I loved you. [Julie takes the star and leaves] Billy Bigelow: [speaking] She took the star! She took it! It's as if she knew I was here. Heavenly Friend: Julie would always know."

"Carrie Pipperidge: And so the next day we all climbed to the top of the Statue of Liberty. Enoch and me and the nine kids. Julie Jordan: [laughs] Did you go to any theaters in New York? Carrie Pipperidge: Course we did! Enoch took me to one of those "extravaganzas." And the curtain come up and the first thing you see is twelve hussies with nothing on their legs but tights! Julie Jordan: What happened then? Carrie Pipperidge: Well, Enoch just grabbed hold of my arm, dragged me right out of the theater. But I went back the next day, to a matinee, to see how the story come out. Julie Jordan: All by yourself? You're lucky you didn't see anybody you know. Carrie Pipperidge: I did. Julie Jordan: Who? Carrie Pipperidge: Enoch! [Julie laughs] Carrie Pipperidge: There was this one girl whonsung this awful catchy song. She-here [demonstrates] Carrie Pipperidge: -she threw her leg up over a fence like this and she sung... [begins singing] Carrie Pipperidge: I'm a tomboy, just a tomboy! I'm a madcap maiden feom Broadway! I'm a tomboy, a merry tomboy- [Julie gestures to stop as Enoch and Jr. enter] Mr. Enoch Snow: Turn your eyes away, Junior! [Junior laughs] Carrie Pipperidge: I was just telling Julie about that show, "Madcap Maidens"! Julie Jordan: Won't you stay and visit with us? Mr. Enoch Snow: I'm afraid we haven't the time. Mrs. Snow and I have to stop by the minister's on the way to the graduation. And I'll thank you very much not to sing "I'm a Tomboy" to the minister's wife. Carrie Pipperidge: [to Julie] I already did. [Julie laughs] Enoch Snow, Jr.: Pa, can I stay and talk to Louise? Just for five minutes. Mr. Enoch Snow: [Carrie looks at Enoch] Five minutes, no more! Carrie Pipperidge: I wish we could stay longer. Julie Jordan: Good-bye. Carrie Pipperidge: We'll see you at the graduation. Enoch Snow, Jr.: Still lollygagging. You'd think a woman with nine children would have more sense. Carrie Pipperidge: If I had more sense, I wouldn't have nine children!"
