The Death Scene: Man Of La Mancha (Reprise)

[DON QUIXOTE]
Then perhaps... it was not a dream...

[ALDONZA] (kneeling beside Quixote again.)
You spoke of a dream. And about the Quest!

[DON QUIXOTE]
Quest? Tell me. Tell me the words!

[ALDONZA]
"To dream the impossible dream"...
but they're your own words!
"To fight the unbeatable foe"...
Don't you remember?
"To bear with unbearable sorrow"...
You must remember!
"To run where the brave dare not go!"

[DON QUIXOTE]
To right the unrightable wrong.

[ALDONZA] Yes.

[DON QUIXOTE]
To love, pure and chaste, from afar

[ALDONZA] Yes.

[DON QUIXOTE]
To try, when your arms are too weary,
To reach the unreachable star!

[ALDONZA]
Thank you. My Lord!

[DON QUIXOTE]
But this is not seemly, My Lady.
On your knees? To me?

[ALDONZA]
Oh, my Lord, you are not well!

[DON QUIXOTE]
Not well? What is sickness to the body of a knight-errant?
What matter wounds? For each time he falls he shall rise
again... and woe to the wicked! Sancho!

[SANCHO]
Here, Your Grace!
More misadventures!

[DON QUIXOTE]
Adventures, old friend!
Oh the trumpets of glory
Now call me to ride,
Yes, the trumpets are calling to me,
And wherever I ride,
Ever staunch at my side
My squire and my lady shall be!
I am I, Don Quixote...

[DON QUIXOTE, ALDONZA, SANCHO]
The Lord of la Mancha
My {Our} destiny calls and I {we} go!
And the wild winds of fortune Shall carry me {us} onward,
Oh, whithersoever...
(Don Quixote falters)

Whithersoever they blow
Onward to glory... aah!... I... go...
(crumples to the floor, dead.)
