Here We Are - Here We Are Lyrics (2024)

[CLAUDIA, spoken]
So much for trying someplace new

[MARIANNE, spoken]
What is happening to decent restaurants?

[LEO]
If it isn't the food, it's the service

[FRITZ, spoken]
Didn't you hear?

[RAFFAEL]
If it isn't the noise, it's the queue

[FRITZ, spoken]
Are you insane?

[PAUL]
Or the backs of the chairs—

[LEO]
Or a waiter with airs—

[CLAUDIA]
Or the long flight of stairs
To the loo

[MARIANNE]
There's always something...

[RAFFAEL, spoken, sotto voce to FRITZ]
You know, you're hot when you're angry

[FRITZ, spoken]
Forget it, Raffi
I've been gay since I was three

[A cell phone rings. They reach for their phones.]

[PAUL, LEO, CLAUDIA & MARIANNE, spoken]
Ah, it's my assistant Is that mine? Is it me?

[FRITZ, spoken]
It's me, it's me, don't worry

[MARIANNE, spoken]
A boyfriend, I hope!

[FRITZ, spoken]
Do you mind?

[MARIANNE, spoken]
"PRADA" calling?
Sweetheart, you told me you're anti-fashion!

[FRITZ, spoken]
Anti-fascist
Anti-fascist

[RAFFAEL]
Did you know thеre's an extremist group of Lеfties in Moranda
Who call themselves—would you believe it?—PRADA

[FRITZ, spoken, sotto voce into phone]
Apocalypse here

[RAFFAEL, spoken]
They communicate only in code

[FRITZ, spoken, sotto voce into phone]
Yes, Inferno

[RAFFAEL, spoken]
Their leader is known only as "Inferno"

[MARIANNE, spoken]
And they're named after a shoe?

[RAFFAEL, spoken]
No, PRADA stands for "People's"—

[FRITZ, spoken, sotto voce into phone]
Fifty million?

[RAFFAEL, spoken]
"Revolutionary"—

[FRITZ, spoken, sotto voce into phone]
By tonight?

[RAFFAEL, spoken]
"Anti-Domination"

[FRITZ, spoken, sotto voce into phone]
Why?

[LEO, spoken]
"Assholes"

[PAUL, spoken]
"Assholes," really?

[RAFFAEL, spoken]
"Army"

[FRITZ, spoken, sotto voce into phone]
I know, I know, we can't delay the revolution...

[MARIANNE, spoken]
Are they dangerous?

[LEO, spoken]
You ever meet an asshole who wasn't?

[PAUL, spoken]
Hey, I'm an asshole

[CLAUDIA, spoken]
Yeah, but sweetie, you're not dangerous

[FRITZ, spoken, sotto voce into phone]
Well, I do know a few rich assholes
But they're not gonna hand over fifty million

[RAFFAEL, spoken, sotto voce to CLAUDIA]
I have to have you
Now

[CLAUDIA, spoken]
How do you want me?

[RAFFAEL]
The way I had you last Tuesday...

[CLAUDIA, spoken]
I love that way

[RAFFAEL]
I miss you every day—

[CLAUDIA]
Say it, say it—!

[RAFFAEL]
Every day—

[FRITZ, spoken, sotto voce into phone]
Okay, okay, okay

[RAFFAEL]
In my heart
In my mind
In my bed—

[CLAUDIA, spoken]
More

[RAFFAEL]
I miss the way you always give me
Comfort, courage, head...

[CLAUDIA, spoken]
Bite me

[RAFFAEL]
Oh, Claudia
I but murmur your name—

[RAFFAEL's cellphone rings.]

[RAFFAEL, spoken]
Excuse me

[FRITZ, spoken, sotto voce into phone]
I'll do my best, Inferno

[RAFFAEL, spoken, sotto voce into phone]
Hello, Abdul

[FRITZ, spoken, into phone]
Nada but PRADA!

[To the others.]
Anybody want to donate fifty million bucks for a noble cause?

[LEO, spoken]
What's the cause?

[FRITZ, spoken]
The coming revolution

[MARIANNE, spoken]
Oh, Fritzie, you are so cute!

[LEO]
What if it's the end of the world?
Hey, folks
Maybe it's the end of the world

[FRITZ, spoken]
Yeah, laugh

[RAFFAEL]
Maybe it's the end of the world
Indeed

[MARIANNE]
In that case
Buy this day for us, sweetheart
Buy this perfect day

[CLAUDIA, spoken]
Agreed

[CLAUDIA]
End the world, okay
But this day
Let it stay!

[PAUL]
And as they say—

[CLAUDIA, spoken]
Paul

[PAUL]
La vidida ay estada el tidada! Olé
La vidida ay estada el tidada!

[CLAUDIA, spoken]
He needs food

[PAUL]
La vidida ay estada el tidada!
Right, Raffi?

[RAFFAEL, spoken]
Ordinarily, yes, life is a tit
Today, however...

[PAUL, spoken]
What?

[LEO, spoken]
Yeah, "however" what?

[RAFFAEL, spoken]
That was Abdul

[PAUL, spoken]
Is it the diplomatic pouch?
Did the Feds find the co*ke?

[FRITZ, spoken]
The co*ke? I love it

[RAFFAEL, spoken]
The pumpkins, yes

[RAFFAEL]
It seems the locusts have descended on the pumpkins

[PAUL, spoken]
Oh my God

[RAFFAEL]
We have to feed them lots of semolina

[PAUL, spoken]
Jesus Christ!

[LEO]
There's a ton of semolina in the silo
So relax

[RAFFAEL, spoken, offering cocaine from his pocket watch]
The pumpkin itself, however, is perfect

[CLAUDIA, spoken]
Did he say locusts have descended on the pumpkins?
What does that mean?

[MARIANNE, spoken]
It's poetry
Almost
And voilà, here's Bistro à La Mode!

[LEO, spoken]
Everybody out of the car!

[FRITZ, spoken, into her phone]
Hello, Inferno?
That fifty mil is in the bag
