Thank you for the music
The songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it
I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance, what are we?
So I say
Thank you for the music
For giving it to me
It would be amazing if someone could get these to the mainland for the last post.
The pleasure and privilege will be mine.
Señor, you're the manager.
I need you to stay here and make sure this place is ready
for the most incredible opening party of all time.
Whatever you dream, Miss Sophie, we will make real.
This was her dream. I'm just trying to see it through.
You've done much more than that.
Yeah, but is it enough?
I wish I could ask her.
I wish she was here.
It's collection time. Let's not be late.
Wait.
She never shows up anyway.
Don't worry.
My mom was late for everything.
So, it is nearly time for the graduating year
to go out into the world,
supported by their friends and families,
so many of whom they are grateful to have in attendance on this August day.
But first, custom dictates that I call on the undergraduate
- selected by his or her peers... - Sorry, sorry.
...to deliver the valedictory address.
This year, that undergraduate,
punctual as ever,
is Donna Sheridan.
You're going to do great things, Donna.
Thank you, Vice Chancellor,
for everything.
This place has taught me so much
about friendship, loyalty, love,
but most importantly, it's taught me that the best things in life,
the very best things, happen unexpectedly.
Hit it!
Everybody screamed
When I kissed the teacher
Yeah!
And they must have thought They dreamed
When I kissed the teacher
All my friends at school
They had never seen The teacher blush
She looked like a fool
Nearly petrified
'Cause she was taken by surprise
When I kissed the teacher
Couldn't quite believe their eyes
When I kissed the teacher
My whole class went wild
As I held my breath The world stood still
But then she just smiled
I was in the seventh heaven
When I kissed the teacher
What a mad day
Now I see everything In a different light
What a mad day
I was up in the air
And she taught me a lesson all right
I was in a trance When I kissed the teacher
Suddenly I took a chance When I kissed the teacher
Leaning over me
She was trying to explain The laws of geometry
And I couldn't help it I just had to kiss the teacher
What a mad day
Now I see everything In a different light
What a mad day
I was up in the air
And she taught me a lesson all right
What a crazy day When I kissed the teacher
All my sense had flown away When I kissed the teacher
My whole class went wild
As I held my breath The world stood still
But then she just smiled
I was in the seventh heaven When I kissed the teacher
I wanna hug, hug, hug him
When I kissed the teacher
I wanna hug, hug him
When I kissed the teacher
I wanna hug, hug, hug him
When I kissed the teacher
I wanna hug, hug him
When I kissed the teacher
She didn't come. She didn't come.
My mother.
Can you believe she didn't come?
She never comes.
Ah, and every time, it surprises me. I have gotta get better at that.
You give that woman hell when you get home.
I'am not going home. Not for a long time.
Oh, the old "stay away as punishment" ploy.
I tried that. But my parents just rented out my room.
And sold your dog.
No, it's not punishment. It's the opposite.
It's like a gift to myself.
Where will you go?
Anywhere. Everywhere.
Life is short, the world is wide, and I wanna make some memories.
In other words, you're leaving us.
I never would.
I was just putting out feelers for our future.
Come on.
We'll always have each other.
Dynamos, dynamite.
Sleep all day and whoop all night.
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING AND LAUGHING)
Whoa!
Oh, they're so beautiful.
Uh, little to the left. Little bit more. And down just a bit.
Perfect. Good.
Those flowers are beautiful. Thank you so much.
- Sky? What time is it there? - It's early.
I was just thinking about you...
About tomorrow. How's it going?
Oh, you know. Nothing focuses the mind like the last minute. (CHUCKLES)
You're ready.
I can't believe I'm not gonna be there. Feels weird.
Yeah, but we agreed. Six weeks in New York,
learning the hotel business from the very best.
It was too big a chance to pass up.
- Soph. - What?
- Nothing. - What?
No, it doesn't matter.
Except that it obviously does.
They've offered me a job permanently.
Okay-
I can say no.
But you don't want to. You wanna say the opposite of no.
Yeah, I do.
But you could come with me.
But I'm here. I'm always gonna be here.
Soph, your mum died a year ago.
And I rebuilt this hotel in her honor.
She wouldn't want you to dedicate your life to her.
She dedicated hers to me.
We... can't keep having this fight.
Apparently, we can,
until we realize that there's nothing left to fight for.
- Sky? - Yeah, I know.
I should go.
Yeah.
I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.
It's gonna be amazing.
Take care, Soph.
Yeah, you, too, Sky.
They passed me by all of those great romances
It's as if you're robbing me Of my rightful chances
My picture clear Everything seemed so easy
And so I dealt you the blow
One of us had to go
Now it's different I want you to know
One of us is crying
One of us is lying in her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only waiting for a call
Sorry for himself Feeling stupid, feeling small
Wishing he had never left at all
I saw myself as a concealed attraction
I felt you kept me away From the heat and the action
Just like a child Stubborn and misconceiving
That's how I started the show
One of us had to go
Now I've changed and I want you to know
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In his lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing he was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself
Feeling stupid, feeling small
Wishing he had never left at all
Never left at all
The poor girl's under so much pressure. The hotel reopening...
We have to be strong for her.
Strong. Absolutely.
- She needs our support. - Mmm.
She needs bolstering.
Yeah. Well, bolstering is what she'll get.
What she doesn't need, is you crying every time someone mentions Donna.
