Champagne

(album: In The Heights: A New Musical - 2008)

[VANESSA:]
So I got you a present
I went downtown to get it
Doing anything tonight?

[USNAVI:]
Cleaning

[VANESSA:]
Done for the day

[USNAVI:]
No way

[VANESSA:]
'Cuz we got a date

[USNAVI:]
Okay...

[VANESSA:]
Before you board that plane
I owe you a bottle of cold champagne

[USNAVI:]
No...

[VANESSA:]
Yeah, cold champagne

[USNAVI:]
Damn, the bottle's all sweaty and everything
You went and got this...

[VANESSA:]
Pop the champagne

[USNAVI:]
I don't know if we have coffee cups
Or plastic cups, I think Sonny has the cups...

[VANESSA:]
Tonight we're drinking straight from the bottle. Usnavi?

[USNAVI:]
Yeah?

[VANESSA:]
Daniela told me what you did for me
And it's honestly the sweetest thing anyone ever did for me
Now, what can I say or do to possibly repay you for your kindness?

[USNAVI:]
How do you get this gold shit off?

[VANESSA:]
Usnavi!

[USNAVI:]
Yeah!

[VANESSA:]
Before we both leave town!
Before the corner changes and the signs are taken down
Let's walk around the neighborhood and say our goodbyes
Usnavi, are you alright?

[USNAVI:]
I'm fine, I'm tryn'a open this champagne
See the twisty thing is broken
But I'm gonna open this damn champagne!

[VANESSA:]
Lemme see it

[USNAVI:]
No, I got it!

[VANESSA:]
Yo, Usnavi, drop the champagne!

[USNAVI:]
I mean you went to all this trouble to get us a little bubbly...

[VANESSA:]
And it's gonna be okay

[USNAVI:]
I'm sorry, it's been a long day

[VANESSA:]
You oughta stay

[USNAVI:]
What?

[VANESSA:]
You can use that money to fix this place

[USNAVI:]
Ha ha, very funny

[VANESSA:]
And it's not like Sonny's got role models...

[USNAVI:]
Role models?

[VANESSA:]
Stepping up to the plate...

[USNAVI:]
Yo, what are you talking about?

[VANESSA:]
I'm just saying, I think your vacation can wait...

[USNAVI:]
Vacation? Vanessa, you're leaving too...

[VANESSA:]
I'm going down to West Fourth Street; you can take the A...

[USNAVI:]
What are you trying to say?

[VANESSA:]
You're leaving the country, and we're never gonna see you again...

[USNAVI:]
What are you trying to say?

[VANESSA:]
You get everyone addicted to your coffee then off you go

[USNAVI:]
Vanessa, I don't know why you're mad at me

[VANESSA:]
I wish I was mad...

I'm just too late
