Paris, 1900



There was a boy
A very strange, enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea



. . .
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
is just to love and be loved in return.



Christian: The world had been swept up in the Bohemian revolution. And I traveled from London to be a part of it.



Christian: Moulin Rouge! A night club. A dance hall and a brothel.



Christian: Ruled over by Harold Zidler. A kingdom of night time pleasures. Where the rich and powerful came to play with the young and beautiful creatures of the underworld.



Christian: The most beautiful of these was the one I loved. Satine. A courtesan. She sold her love to men. They called her the 'Sparkeling Diamond', and she was the star... of the Moulin rouge. The woman I loved is... dead.



Satine: The French are glad to die for love. They delight in fighting duels. But I prefer a man who lives... and gives expensive... jewels.



Satine: Is the Duke here, Harry?
Zidler: Yes, of course.
Toulouse: Terribly sorry...
Satine: Where is he?
Zidler: He's the one Toulouse is shaking his hanky at.
Satine: Are you sure?



A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
but diamonds are a girl's best friend.
A kiss may be grand but it won't pay the rental
on your humble flat... Or help you feed your cat (meow) pussycat



Men grow cold as girls grow old,
and we all lose our charms in the end
But square cut or pear shaped,
these rocks don't lose their shapes
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Tiffany!



Cause we are living in a material world,
and I am a material girl! Black star, Rozz call,
talk to me Harry Zidler, tell me all about it!
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer



'Cause you can, can, can! Yes, you can, can, can!



Satine: A real actress...



Christian: Toulouse thought we might be able to um... do it in private.
Satine: Did he?
Christian: Yes, you know, a private... poetry reading.
Satine: Oh... hmm... a poetry reading? Oooh, I love a little poetry after supper!



Christian: No! I can't write the show for the Moulin Rouge!
Toulouse: Why not?
Christian: I don't even know if I am a true Bohemian Revolutionary.
Toulouse: Do you believe in Beauty?
Christian: Yes.
Doctor: Freedom?
Christian: Yes, of course.
Satie: Truth?
Christian: Yes!
Doctor: Love?
Christian: Love? Love. Above all things I believe in love. Love is like oxygen. Love is a many splendored thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love.
Toulouse: See? You can't fool us! You're the voice of the Children of the Revolution! You will write of the world's first Bohemian Revolution show!



My gift is my song
and this one's for you
And you can tell everybody that this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done...
I hope you don't mind,
I hope you don't mind...
that I put down in words...
How wonderful life is now you're in the world.
Sat on the roof and I kicked off the moss
Well, some of these verses, well they,
they got me quite cross
But the sun's been kind
while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on
So excuse me forgetting
but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is, what I really mean...
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen.
And you can tell everybody that this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
Hope you don't mind,
I hope you don't mind
that I put down in words
How wonderful life is now you're in the world
Hope you don't mind,
I hope you don't mind
that I put down in words,
how wonderful life is now you're in the world!
