Sancho drank too muchBoth of them confused things and peoples

The enemy warriors and the windThe prostitutes and the princesses

And the windmills

I waited for himWe’ll go everywhereHe’ll tell me stories

I will believe in them.

The singerGood evening, buona sera, I’m happy,

Create an atmosphere, a dramatic situation.

He wanted to Conquer the world!!!!

hour!What we have to do is start working.

There is a dance tonight. Let’s polish the floor. Let’s clean the

glasses.

The singerJust the characters.

Let’s think just about them. Tonight. (Addressing to Quixote)

Can you tell me the story?I love stories so much!

Tell me anything, read me, your adventures, your crazy things,

Now that you have returned.
