Un deux trois quatre

Cinq six sept huit neuf

[SCORPIUS]

Un deux trois quatre

Cinq six sept huit neuf

[TORIA]

Good! Un deux trois quatre

Cinq six sept huit neuf

[SCORPIUS]

Un deux trois quatre

Cinq six sept huit neuf

[TORIA]

Sept huit neuf-

[SCORPIUS]

Sept huit neuf-

[TORIA]

Sept huit neuf-

[SCORPIUS]

Sept huit neuf-

[TORIA AND SCORPIUS]

One two three four five six seven eight nine!

[MALFOY]

My dearest, Harry,

"It's lonely to be more powerful than any man you know and have to live like a shadow"

I trust you'll probably not understand

The reference to another English masterpiece

without my having to name the show

They think me Merlin, and ambition is my folly

I'm a polymath, a pain in the ass, a massive pain.

Granger is Guinevere, Weasley's Lancelot

And Camelot is Wizengamot on its way to Avalon

[MALFOY/POTTER]

And there you are, worlds away

Do you have to live so far away?

Thoughts of you subside

Then I get another letter

I cannot put the notion away...

[TORIA]

Take a break

[MALFOY]

I am on my way

[TORIA]

There's a little surprise before supper

And it cannot wait

[MALFOY]

I'll be there in just a minute, 

save my plate

[TORIA]

Draco-

[MALFOY]

Okay, okay-

[TORIA]

Your son is nine years old today

Has something he'd like to say

He's been practicing all day

Scorpius, take it away-

[SCORPIUS]

Daddy, daddy, look-

My name is Scorpius

I am a poet

I wrote this poem just

To show it

And I just turned nine

You can write rhymes

But you can't write mine

[MALFOY]

What!

I practice French

And play piano with my mother

Uh-huh!

I want a sister or a little brother

Okay!

My daddy's trying to restart England's economy

Un deux trois quatre cinq!

Bravo!

[TORIA]

Take a break

[MALFOY]

Hey, our kid is pretty great

[TORIA]

Run away with us for the summer

Let's go upstate

[MALFOY]

Toria, I've got so much on my plate

[TORIA]

We can all go stay with my father

There's a lake I know...

[MALFOY]

I know

[TORIA]

In a nearby park

[MALFOY]

I'd love to go

[TORIA]

You and I can go when the night gets dark...

[MALFOY]

I will try to get away

[POTTER]

My dearest Draco

You must get through to Weasley

Just sit down with him and compromise

Don't stop 'til you agree

Your fav'rite supporter, Harry, reminds you

There's someone in your corner

all the way across the channel

In a letter I received from you two weeks ago

I noticed a comma in the middle of a phrase

It changed the meaning. Did you intend this?

One stroke and you've consumed my waking days

It says:

[MALFOY/POTTER]

"My dearest Harry"

[POTTER]

With a comma after "dearest." You've written

[MALFOY AND POTTER]

"My dearest, Harry."

[POTTER]

Anyway, all this to say

I won't be coming home until the fall

At McGonagall's invitation

I'll be there to help you then

I'd like to visit you

I know you're very busy,

I know your work's important

But I'm crossing the channel

And I just can't wait, anymore

[MALFOY AND POTTER]

You won't be a world away

You will only be a moment away...

[TORIA]

Draco, come downstairs.

My sister's visiting today!

[TORIA]

Daphne!

[DAPHNE]

Toria!

[MALFOY]

The Greengrass sisters!

[DAPHNE]

Draco

[MALFOY]

Hi

[DAPHNE]

It's good to see your face

[TORIA]

Daphne, tell this man Percy Weasley

spends the summer with his family

[MALFOY]

Daphne, tell my wife, Percy Weasley

doesn't have a real job anyway

[DAPHNE]

...you're not joining us? Wait

[MALFOY]

I'm afraid I cannot join you upstate

[DAPHNE]

Draco, we always go to Scotland!

[TORIA]

We always go to Scotland-

[DAPHNE]

We always go-

[TORIA AND DAPHNE]

Take a break

[MALFOY]

You know I have to get my plan

through the Wizengamot

[TORIA AND DAPHNE]

Run away with us for the summer

Let's go to Scotland

[MALFOY]

I lose my job if I don't get my plan

through the Wizengamot

[TORIA AND DAPHNE]

We can all go stay with our father

[TORIA]

There's a lake I know

[DAPHNE]

I know I'll miss your face-

In a nearby park

Screw your courage to the sticking place-

You and I can go

Toria's right-

Take a break

Take a break and get away-

Let's go to Scotland

Run away with us for the summer-

Let's go upstate

Where we can stay

We can all go stay with our father

If you take your time-

You will make your mark

Close your eyes and dream-

[TORIA AND DAPHNE]

When the night gets dark

Take a break.

[MALFOY]

I have to get my plan through the Wizengamot

I can't stop until I get this plan

through the Wizengamot
