Picasso at the Lapin Agile By Steve Martin

EINSTEIN (halts): What do you do?
VISITOR: Well, ah guess ah… (thinks) sing songs about love.
(The others take a breath, GERMAINE especially.)
FREDDY (rhapsodic): If only I could sing songs about love.
GERMAINE: If I could sing songs about love, I would sing and
remember lovers past, and the emotion would infuse itself into the
lyric.
PICASSO: I would give it all up if I could sing songs about love.
No more paints and brushes… just the moonlight, the June light,
and you.
GATSON: In the summer evenings, I would stand along the Seine
and just sing, sing, sing.
EINSTEIN: People crowding in a smoky cabaret to hear the song
stylings of Albert Einstein… appearing nightly with the
Kentuckymen. Singing songs as pretty as a summer dress…
lover‘s hand going into lover‘s hand
VISITOR: See what I mean, about you all being pretty nice folks?
(They all are embarrassed. SAGOT enters, carrying a tripod
camera.)
SAGOT: Good. You‘re all still here.
PICASSO: That‘s the camera?
SAGOT: The latest.
PICASSO: They‘re making them so small! Where did you get it?
SAGOT: I bought it from a Japanese tourist. Okay, everybody
group together over there. (They all start to primp.)
EINSTEIN: I‘d like to order three one-by-twos and a
daguerreotype.
