HIPOLITO:
Amélie has no boyfriend. She tried once or twice, but the results were a letdown. Those five years haven’t changed a thing... Amélie still escapes into....solitude
She walks home from work
Every night all alone
And nothing's changed
AMÉLIE:
See you tomorrow
MAN:
Bye bye
HIPOLITO:
Her neighbours all like her
But nobody knows her
And nothing's changed
She likes taking teaspoons to crack crème brûlée
And likes to skip stones at St. Matin Canal
And nothing's changed
While friends see the world
She stays home with their pets
And nothing's changed
She's fine on a few dates
And had a few boyfriends
But nothing's changed
She likes to amuse herself
By asking questions like-
AMÉLIE:
Hoe many couples in Paris
Are having an orgasm right at this moment?
(A woman is heard, presumably having an orgasm)
AMÉLIE:
Fifteen
ENSEMBLE:
But later this evening her life will change
Later this evening her life will...
Change
