GUYS:

Nathan Detroit-

Monologue: "You see, Big Jule, the boys are slightly fatigued from weariness, having been shooting crap for quite a while now, namely twenty-four hours. (Nathan is reminded of Big Jule's concealed revolver) Gentlemen, I begin to see the logic of Big Jule. It is not that Big Jule is a bad loser; it is merely that he prefers to win. (Big Jule offers a bet to Nathan) Now, wait a minute! What kind of deal is this anyway? Him with his no-spot dice! Go ahead-shoot me. Put me in cement. At least I would know where I am. Here I risk my neck to set up a crap game. I even promise to get married on account of it. So look how I wind up. Broke in a sewer. Believe me, my tough friend from Chicago, there is nothing you could do to me that would not cheer me up."

Song: "Sue Me" (0:42-1:20)

Track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrRRGnNl0TY

Sky Masterson-

Monologue: "When I was a young man about to go out into the world, my father says to me a very valuable thing. He says to me like this: 'Son,' the old guys says, 'I am sorry that I am not able to bankroll you to a very large start, but not having any potatoes to give you I am now going to stake you to some very valuable advice. One of these days in your travels a guy is going to come to you and show you a nice, brand-new deck of cards on which the seal is not yet broken, and this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the Jack of Spades jump out of the deck and squirt cider in your ear. But son, do not bet this man, for as sure as you stand there you are going to wind up with an earful of cider.' Now, Nathan, I do not claim that you have been clocking Mindy's cheesecake. However, if you're looking for some action, I will bet you the same thousand that you do not know the color of the necktie you have on."

Song: "Luck Be a Lady" (0:00-1:12)

Track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7nKlJWTbEQ

Nicely Nicely Johnson/Benny Southstreet-

Monologue: "Nathan, if there is no crap game tonight, I am sure Big Jule will be considerably displeased; and Big Jule does not like to be displeased, as you can find out from those citizens who-at one time or another-displeased him. Although I will admit it is very hard to find such citizens in view of the fact that they are no longer around and about."

Song: "Sit Down You're Rockin' the Boat" (0:00-0:45)

Track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xD9y5YWXw4

Arvide-

Monologue: "(offering Sky a cup of coffee) Here, young man. You just go right on talking to Sister Sarah and you'll be all right. I'm glad you found us. I wish we could reach more sinners like you. We are out every day trying. (drinks coffee) Coffee is so good I can't understand why it isn't a sin."

Song: "More I Cannot Wish You" (0:00-0:35)

Track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsCr2PYvNVA

DOLLS:

Adelaide-

Monologue: "What? I don't understand. Sky, Nathan has to come here tonight. We're eloping to get married. Is it the crap game again? He promised to change. What is it about you men? Why can't you marry people like other people do and live normal like people? Have a home with wallpaper and book ends. (Beat.) I can't get another guy. I love Nathan. Wait till you fall for somebody! You'll find out."

Song: "Adelaide's Lament" (sing only the portion of the song included in this track)

Track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYyAr4KIixY

Sarah/General Cartwright-

Monologue: "(to crowd of people) Brothers and sisters, resist the Devil and he will flee from you. That is what the Bible tells us. And that is why I am standing here, in the Devil's own city, on the Devil's own street, prepared to do battle with the forces of evil. Hear me you gamblers! With your dice, your cards, your horses! Pause and think before it is too late! (people start to walk away) You are in great danger! I am not speaking of the prison and the gallows, but of the greater punishment that awaits you! Repent before it is too late! Just around the corner is our little Mission where you are always welcome to seek refuge from this jungle of sin. Come here and talk to me. Do not think of me as Sergeant Sarah Brown, but as Sarah Brown, your sister. (only a few people remain) Join me, brothers and sisters, in resisting the Devil, and we can put him to flight forever."

Song: "I'll Know"

Track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGbkLus07sQ

Song: "Bushel and a Peck" (1:28-1:57)

Track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTvggePgq5s
