lyrics

[DAVE]
Side 2, Track 7. “Tango Dancer.”

[BRITTAIN (Rose Red)]
Excuse me?

[GELSEY (Scheherazade)]
Can I help you?

[BRITTAIN]
I hope so.
Are you…ancient?

[GELSEY]
That’s not polite, child.

[BRITTAIN]
I’m sorry—you know, you know what I mean.

[GELSEY]
Yes, child. And yes, I am.
Do I know you? You remind me of my sister.

[BRITTAIN]
No, I’m from far away. My name is Rose. Rose Red.

[GELSEY]
My sister's name was Dunyazad.

[BRITTAIN]
It’s a beautiful name.
I know her, from the stories.

[GELSEY]
She’s been dead a long time now.
What do you need?

[BRITTAIN]
Um, Stardust? Just one piece.

[GELSEY]
Hm. I don’t know if I have any left.
1001 is a pretty big number.

[BRITTAIN]
I always figured you could have gone on forever.

[GELSEY]
Nope. Not forever.
