00:00:30The end, the month of May, the angels' voices resounding,

00:00:59a young man on his deathbed lay, full of a fatherland.

00:01:29So, will you marry me this week?

00:01:42If you haven't got your lip colour on, can you line up behind Rose, please?

00:01:48Have you all been to the lavatory?

00:01:57I want no running on the stage!

00:02:00What are you people doing?

00:02:02They're bringing in extra chairs.

00:02:10Who's here?

00:02:12The musical Mr. Baines?

00:02:16What are you going to play for us tonight?

00:02:18A little twinkle, eh, George?

00:02:20How about a little tinkle-tinkle, George?

00:02:26Perhaps you would like to turn the pages from this

00:02:29and play it for the children.

00:02:33I'm in costume.

00:02:37I'm very pleased you've taken up the piano.

00:02:39Now, where's this song?

00:02:59George, excuse me.

00:03:01How about Mary Had a Little Lamb?

00:03:03Or a polka.

00:03:05Come on, George, what's it to be?

00:03:07Fools.

00:03:11Come on, George, move along.

00:03:15Ladies and gentlemen,

00:03:19We're about to begin.

00:03:22Could you take your seats, please?

00:03:38By the end of the month of May

00:03:42The angels' words we'll be singing

00:03:46Carry away all the years till they may

00:03:49Full of the power of heaven

00:03:53Out of this world no rain grows blue

00:03:57And out of Israel

00:04:01They make their way up to the high church wall

00:04:05Till they could go no higher

00:04:09And back they came in the true love snow

00:04:13They rose in the morning

00:04:15And back they came in the true love snow

00:04:19They rose in the sweet triumph

00:04:27And so the young maid

00:04:29Came upon each and all

00:04:31Of bluebeard's missing wives

00:04:35Their severed heads still bleeding

00:04:39Their eyes still crying

00:04:42Slow down, Percy, slow down.

00:04:46But us? Who comes?

00:10:44You're greatly shamed.

00:10:46You've shamed these trunks.

00:11:02I know why Mr. Baines can't play the piano.

00:11:08You'll miss some here.

00:11:14She never gives him a turn.

00:11:16She just plays what she pleases.

00:11:20And sometimes she doesn't play at all.

00:11:24When's the next lesson?

00:11:28I don't know.

00:11:31Tomorrow.

00:11:47Humming.

00:11:51Humming.

00:11:55Humming.

00:12:01Humming.

00:12:13I have given the piano back to you.

00:12:15I've had enough.

00:12:23The arrangement

00:12:27is making you a whore

00:12:29to me, Richard.

00:12:33I want you to care for me

00:12:37but you can't.

00:12:47It's yours, Lear.

00:12:49One go.

00:12:52My hand.

00:13:00Stop right there.

00:13:08This isn't yours.

00:13:10What are you doing with the piano?

00:13:12He's giving it to me.

00:13:14I'm not giving it to you.

00:13:16I'm not giving it to you.

00:13:18I'm not giving it to you.

00:13:21He's giving it to us.

00:13:23Put that down.

00:13:25Put it down.

00:13:31I've seen through you.

00:13:33I'm not going to lose the land this way.

00:13:35Stay there.

00:13:47Don't want to see nobody.

00:13:50Sit.

00:13:54You got the tupeka for Hilo?

00:13:58No.

00:14:02Hey, who made the tupeka?

00:14:04Baines?

00:14:08Baines.

00:14:10Baines, look.

00:14:12I don't think you should have given up the piano.

00:14:14I'll make sure

00:14:16that you're properly taught

00:14:19how to write music written on sheets and so on.

00:14:21I don't want to learn.

00:14:23You don't want to learn?

00:14:25No.

00:14:29What does this do to our pocket?

00:14:31I mean,

00:14:33I can't afford the piano

00:14:35if you mean me to pay.

00:14:37No, no payment.

00:14:39I have given it back.

00:14:43I'm not sure that I want it myself.

00:14:45It was war to your wife that I gave it.

00:14:49Oh.

00:14:51Oh, I see.

00:14:55Well,

00:33:33Now when you close the door

00:33:36It will be the Maori's that lock you in you see with the latch on that side. You are quite trapped quite trapped

00:33:43We have just come from George Baines, and they have taken him. Oh, it is no wonder. He is leaving

00:33:48He's caught in too deep with the natives

00:33:51He sits on his floor as proud as kings, but without a shred of manners

00:33:56He's quite altered as if they have been trying some native witchcraft on him

00:34:02Well tomorrow or the day after you'll be gone

00:34:04I

00:34:07Means is packing up. Well. He has nothing to pack, but he is leaving

00:34:12And it is just as well

00:34:14Nessie has foolishly grown an affection for him. We have had some tears

00:34:29We must leave in good light will we be safe

00:34:34If you leave now, I'm sure of it

00:35:04You

00:35:24Know I'm thinking of the piano she does not play the piano as we do

00:35:35I

00:35:37Know she is a strange creature and her playing is strange like a mood that passes into you

00:35:51Now you're playing is plain and true, and that is what I like

00:35:55To have a sound creep inside you is not at all pleased

00:36:04I

00:40:34You

00:50:57I'm here seeing it

00:51:01It's nothing

00:51:04You have your marks and look at me through your eyes

00:51:11You're even afraid of me

00:51:28I said I ever spoken to you

00:51:34You mean in science

00:51:37No words

00:51:41If you ever heard words

00:51:43No

00:51:46You never thought you

00:51:48I

00:51:54Heard it here. I heard a voice there on my head. I

00:52:02Watched her lips. They didn't make the words better

00:52:08Harder I listened the clearer I heard it was me my fault

00:52:19She said

00:52:25I'm afraid of my will

00:52:29Of what it might do it is so strange and strong

00:52:34She said I

00:52:38Have to go let me go

00:52:41Let Baines take me away

00:52:44Let him try and save me

00:52:49I wish I'd gone. I wish you gone. I

00:52:57Want to wake up

00:53:01And find that this was all a dream

00:53:18I

00:54:18Don't know

00:54:48Oh

00:55:18Oh

00:58:48I

00:59:18What a chance

00:59:39What a surprise

00:59:49My will has chosen life

01:00:04Still it has had me spooked and many others besides I

01:00:11Teach piano now and Nelson

01:00:14I

01:00:16George has fashioned me a metal fingertip. I'm quite the town freak which satisfies

01:00:44I

01:00:47Am learning to speak my sound is still so bad. I feel ashamed

01:00:54I practice only when I'm alone

01:01:13You

01:01:43At

01:01:51Night I think of my piano on its ocean grave

01:01:59And sometimes myself floating above it

01:02:05Down there everything is so still and silent that it allows me to sleep

01:02:12It is a weird lullaby and so it is it is mine

01:02:20There is a silence or have been no sound

01:02:25There is a silence where no sound may be in the cold grave

01:02:32under the deep deep sea

01:02:41I

01:03:11I

01:03:41I

01:04:11I
