"Ah, the old dotard!" "But tell me now, who is this Don Basilio?" "He's a meddler in matrimonial affairs a hypocrite, a real scrounger, always without a farthing" "He is a music-master:" "he teaches the girl lt's good to know all that" "Now think of satisfying Rosina's desires I shall not tell her my name or rank l must make sure that she loves me only and truly not the wealth and title of Count Almaviva" "You must help me" "No, sir: her feelings are your job ln a little song explain it all to her, my lord" "A song?"

I understand." "Don't have doubts, your efforts will be well rewarded" " A consideration in gold, then?" " On my word." "Come now!" "I'm ready." "You don't realise the prodigious effects the notion of gold produces in me in pleasing my lord Lindoro" "At the thought of that metal, portentous, all-powerful the volcano of my mind promptly starts to erupt" "Let's see some astounding effect of that metal" "Let's see some singular prodigy of that volcano, your mind" "You must disguise yourself for example as a soldier" " As a soldier?" " Yes, my lord" "As a soldier?" "And what for?" "A regiment arrives today" " And the colonel is my friend" " Splendid" " And then?" " Good heavens!"

"See what gold can do" "You will pretend to be drunk" " Drunk?" " Yes, my Lord" "Drunk?" "But why?" "Why?" "Because the guardian will believe more in one who's a little tipsy" "What a wonderful idea!" " Then?" " To work" "Let's begin" " Courage!" " l'm going I am forgetting the most important thing!" "Tell me, where is your shop?" "The shop?" "You can't miss it."

" Good day, young lady" " Good day, signor Figaro" " How are you?" " Dying of boredom ls it possible?" "And you a lovely, spirited girl..." "You make me laugh!" "What use are spirit and beauty to me if I am shut up by four walls?" "I seem to be in my own tomb!" "In a tomb?" "Listen, I wish..." "There is my guardian, I hear his footsteps" "We'll meet again soon." "I have something to tell you" " And I you" " Excellent. I'm off" "How pleasant he is!" "Wretched Figaro!" " Good-for-nothing!" "Curse him!" " There he is, always shouting" "He's made a hospital of the whole family with opium, blood-letting and hellebore!" " Have you seen the barber?" " Why?" " l wish to know" " He upsets you too?" "And why not?" "I'll tell you." "Yes, I've seen him, talked to him, he pleases me" "His joviality appeals to me" "Burst with rage, you hateful old man" "Just look at the little charmer!" "The more I love her, the more she despises me" "Certainly it is the barber who has made her malicious" "What could he have told her?" "Let's find out" "Hey, Berta, Ambrogio" "What's the use!" "They're half-dead." "Get out!" "May the devil take you!" "Barber from hell!" "Some day I'll make you pay" "Don Basilio, you've arrived just in time I wish, by force or by love, to marry my Rosina by tomorrow" "You understand me?" "You are right I have come to warn you, but it's a secret!" "Count Almaviva has arrived" " Who?" "Rosina's unknown lover?" " Precisely" "Oh, the devil!" "We must remedy this!" "Certainly, but discreetly" "What do you mean?" "We must begin the affair by inventing some story that will put him in a bad light publicly that will make him appear an infamous man a lost soul I shall serve you" "Within four days, believe me, Basilio gives you his word we shall have driven him out of town" "You believe so?" "Certainly!" "It is my own system, and it does not fail" "And you'll do it?" "But..." "Slander?" "Don't you know what slander is like?" "No, I don't" "No?" "Then be still and listen to me" "Slander is a little breeze lt is a very gentle zephyr" "lmperceptibly, subtly, lightly, sweetly it begins to whisper" "Softly, softly, at ground level hissing in an undertone it goes spreading, it goes buzzing" "It penetrates insidiously the ears of people lt bewilders and inflates the mind and the brain" "Emerging from the mouth, the noise grows in volume lt gathers force little by little, flies from place to place lt seems like the tempest that in the heart of the forest goes whistling, rumbling, and freezes you with horror" "Finally it breaks loose, it spreads, it redoubles lt produces an explosion like the shot of a cannon like an earthquake, a hurricane a universal tumult, that makes the air resound" "And the wretch who's slandered, trampled on, humiliated under the public scourge expires, if he's lucky" "What do you say to that?" "That may be true, but we are losing time and need is pressing" "No, I wish to do it my way" "Let's go into my room I want us now to draw up the marriage contract" "When she is my wife I'll see to it that she's kept safe from these enamoured lady-killers" "If there's money about, I'm here to take the change" "My wily ones!" "Very well indeed!" "I've heard everything" "Long live the good doctor!" "Poor baboon!" "Your wife?" "Come now!" "Get that out of your head!" "While they are shut up in there I'll try to speak to the girl" "Here she is" "Well, signor Figaro?" " Great things, miss - ls that so?" " We'll celebrate a wedding" " What do you mean?" "Your fine guardian has arranged to be your husband by tomorrow" " Come now!" " l swear it" "He's locked himself in with Basilio to draw up the contract" "Yes?" "He's made a big mistake!" "Poor fool!" "He'll have to deal with me" "But tell me, Figaro you were talking a little while ago with a gentleman" "A cousin of mine, a fine young man" "He is brainy and has a good heart" "He has come to finish his studies and seek his fortune" "Fortune?" "He'll find it I doubt it very much." "Confidentially..." " ...he has one great fault" " A great fault?" "Ah, great: he is dying of love ls that so?" "You see, I'm most interested in that young man" " Don't you believe me?" " Oh yes!" "And, tell me, does his sweetheart live far away?" "Oh no!" "That is, here!" "A step or two away" "But..." " ...is she beautiful?" " Very beautiful!" "Here is her portrait for you in a word or two:" "Slender, talented" "Dark hair, rosy cheeks" "Eloquent eyes, a hand to be loved" "And the name?" "Ah, that lovely name again!" " She is called..." " What?" "Poor little thing!" "She is called:" "R - o s - i Rosi, n - a" "Rosina!" "Then I am..." "You're not deceiving me?" "Then I am the fortunate one!" "I had already guessed it:" "I knew before you did" "Lovely Rosina, you are the object of Lindoro's affections" "What a cunning little minx, but she'll have to deal with me" "Listen, how do I arrange to speak to Lindoro?" "Hush, Lindoro will be here soon to talk to you" "To talk to me?" "Splendid!" "Let him come, but prudently I'm dying of impatience!" "But what is the delay?" "He is waiting for some sign of your affection" "Send him a note of only two lines and he will come" "What do you say?" "I shouldn't" "Come, courage!" " l wouldn't know" " Only two lines" " l'm ashamed" " But of what?" "Quick, here with the note" "A letter?" "Here it is lt was already written!" "See, what a fool I am!" "And I play the teacher to her?" "Oh, my fortunate affections, I begin to breathe again" "That woman could deliver a lecture on cunning" "You alone, my love, are the one to bring me consolation" "Women, eternal gods, who can attempt to make you out?" " Listen, but Lindoro?" " He'll be coming" "Any moment he will be here to talk to you" " Let him come, but prudently" " Hush, he'll be here" "Now I feel better" "That Figaro is a fine young fellow" "Briefly, with politeness, may I know from my Rosina why that fellow came this morning?" "Figaro?" "I know nothing" "What did he say to you?" "He mentioned the fashion in France, the illness of his daughter Marcellina ls that so?" "And I bet..." "Why is that finger stained with ink?" "Stained?" "Oh, nothing!" "I have burned myself and have treated it with ink" "The devil!" "One sheet is missing." "There were six" "That notepaper?" "It's true I used one sheet to send sweetmeats to Marcellina" "Very smart!" "Why was the pen sharpened?" "Curse you!" "The pen?" "I used it to design a flower on my embroidery frame" "A flower?" "Saucy girl!" " Believe me, sir" " No more, be silent" "Such excuses, young lady, to a doctor of my station?" "I do advise you, my dear, to deceive a little better" "Sweetmeats for the little girl?" "The embroidery on the frame?" "You burned yourself?" "Come now!" "It needs something different, my girl, to be able to hoax me" "Why is that sheet missing?" "I want to know about that hoax" "Sweet smiles are useless" "Stay there, do not touch me!" "Do not think, my girl, that I'll let myself be made a fool of" "Come, dear, confess" "I am disposed to forgive" "Will you not speak?" "Are you going to be obstinate?" "Then I know what I have to do" "Next time I go out I'll hand you over to the servants" "Sweet smiles do not help nor the look of the innocent" "Not even air will be able to enter through that door" "And innocent little Rosina, disconsolate, despairing will stay shut up in her room for as long as I wish" "Just now in this room I seemed to hear whispering lt must have been the doctor" "With his ward he doesn't have an hour of peace" "Those girls do not wish to understand" "Someone's knocking" "Open up I'm coming" "That snuff I've been taking will be the death of me" "Hey, you people!" "Good folk!" "No one answers" "Who is he?" "What an ugly face!" "He's drunk!" "Who can it be?" "Hey, you people!" "Cursed fellows!" "What do you want, soldier?" "Ah, yes" " What can he want?" " Much obliged" "Are you... just a minute..." "are you Dr. Baloco?" "Who is loco?" "Aha, Badodo?" "Who's a dodo?" "Go to the devil!" "Dr. Bartolo" "Ah, splendid" "Dr. Barbaro" "Excellent" " Nonsense!" " That's excellent" "There's not much difference I'm already losing patience" "She is so late!" "Where is she?" "Here prudence will be called for" "Then you are a doctor?" "I am a doctor, yes, sir" "Excellent, an embrace" "Come here, colleague" " Get back" " Come here" "I am also a fully fledged doctor I am regimental horse doctor" "Look, here it is on the billeting order" "If only my beloved would come!" "I'm already bursting with rage" "A soldier!" "My guardian!" "Whatever can they be doing here?" " lt's Rosina, now I'm happy" " He's looking at me" " He's approaching - l'm Lindoro" "What do I hear!" "Take care!" "What are you looking for, miss?" "Quickly, go away" " l'm going, don't shout" " Quickly, out of here" "Hey, girl, I'm coming too" " Where, my man?" " To the quarters" " To the quarters?" " Oh, this is fine!" "To the quarters?" "Poppycock!" " Help!" " Not on your life, sir!" "You can't be billeted here" " How's that?" " lt's no use arguing" " l have a certificate of exemption" " Certificate?" "My good sir, just a moment and I'll show you it" "If I cannot stay here pray, take" "He's watching us!" "I can't find it any more" "Take care!" "But yes, I will find it I feel a hundred desires within me." "I can bear it no longer" "Here it is" ""With this document we hereby exempt Dr. Bartolo..."" "Go to the devil!" "Do not bore me any more" "What are you doing, sir?" "Quiet there, Dr. Donkey, my quarters have been fixed here" " You want to stay?" " Certainly" "Enough, go quickly, or a good stick will drive you out of here" "Then you want to do battle?" "I'll give you a battle!" "A fine thing is a battle!" "I'll show it to you here" "Watch!" "This is the trench" "You will be the enemy." "Pay attention!" "Your handkerchief!" "And our friends will stand here." "Attention!" "Stop!" "What is this?" " l want to see that" " Yes lt looks like a prescription!" "But it's a letter lt is my duty, you must forgive me" " Thank you" " Thank you, my foot!" "Bring that paper here, impertinent girl!" " Here, quickly!" " Pay attention!" "That paper you ask for was dropped by me by accident" "It is the list for the laundry lmpudent girl!" "Here, quickly!" " What do I see!" " The barber I have blundered!" " lt is the list!" " What a lot of people!" "I'm dumbfounded!" "The blockhead walked into the trap" "But what trouble is this here?" "Always the same story" "Always oppressed and ill-treated" "What a dismal life!" "I cannot bear it any longer" "Rosina, poor little thing" "What have you done to her?" "I've done nothing" "Rabble-rouser, traitor!" "Restrain yourself, sir i'd like to flatten you!" "People!" "Help!" " Assist him!" " Leave me alone!" "People!" "Help, for pity's sake!" "Halt there!" "What's happening, good sirs?" "What's this uproar?" "Eternal gods!" "Because of this din half the town has gathered on the street" "Sir, be careful, for goodness' sake" " That's a rascal" " That's a rogue" " Wretch!" " Curse you!" "Signor soldier, have some respect or I will have to teach you politeness right now" "Sir, be careful, for goodness' sake" "Ugly ape!" "Low-born rogue!" "Hush, doctor I want to shout" "Stop, sir i want to kill him" "Keep quiet, for goodness' sake" "No, I want to slay him without mercy" "Quiet, someone's knocking" "Whatever can it be?" "Who is it?" "The guard" "Open up here" "The guard!" "Oh, the devil!" " Now you've done it!" " Don't fear, let them come in" "How will this adventure ever end?" "Everyone stop" "No one move" "Gentlemen, what is going on?" "What's the cause of this uproar?" "This ignoramus of a soldier, has maltreated me, sir i came here, sir, to calm this disturbance" "He's making an infernal din;" "he's always talking of killing" "That knave will not accept me as a lodger" "Forgive him, it has all been the effect of the wine" "I understand" "You are under arrest, good man" "Outside quickly" "Away from here" "Under arrest?" "Me?" "Hey there, stop!" "Frozen and immobile like a statue I can hardly draw a breath" "Frozen and immobile like a statue he can hardly draw a breath" "Frozen and immobile like a statue I can hardly draw a breath" "Look at Don Bartolo!" "He resembles a statue!" "I shall split my sides laughing!" " But, sir..." " Be quiet!" " But a doctor..." " No more!" " But if she..." " Don't talk!" " l wish..." " Don't shout!" " But if we..." " Be quiet!" " But if then..." " We'll judge" " But if then..." " Be quiet!" " But if we..." " Don't talk!" "Everyone go about his own business" "Stop quarrelling" " But hear me, listen to me" " Quiet here!" "Quiet there!" "My head seems to be in a frightful forge where the persistent din of the ringing anvils grows louder and never ceases" "Alternately this and that gigantic hammer with barbaric harmony, makes the walls and arches resound" "And the brain, poor little thing, already stunned, stupefied cannot reason, is confounded, is reduced to madness" "Just behold my fate!" "No one seems to know that soldier in the whole regiment I have my doubts." "Heavens!" "What doubts?" "I bet that Count Almaviva is the one who sent this man to reconnoitre Rosina's heart" "No one can be safe, even in one's own house!" "But I..." "Who's knocking?" "Hey, there!" "Someone's knocking" "Don't you hear?" "I'm at home." "Don't be afraid, open the door" "Peace and joy be with you" "A thousand thanks" "Don't trouble yourself" "Joy and peace for a thousand years" "Much obliged, I'm sure" "That face looks familiar I don't recognise it" "But that face, who can it be?" "This new disguise will favour me more" "Joy and peace, peace and joy!" "I understood" "Heaven!" "What a bore!" "Joy and peace, with all my heart" "Enough, for pity's sake" " What a perfidious fate!" " The old man doesn't recognise me!" "My loved one, in a few moments we shall be talking in freedom" "Everybody is against me!" "What a cruel mischance!" "My good sir, who are you, if I may ask?" "Don Alonso, teacher of music and student of Don Basilio" "Well, then?" "Don Basilio is ill and in his place... I'll run and see him" "Gently, gently" "He is not so seriously ill I don't trust that fellow" "Let's go" " But sir..." " What is it?" " l wanted to say..." " Speak up, I tell you" "As you wish, but you'll discover who Don Alonso really is" " l'll go to Count Almaviva" " Gently." "Tell me, I'm listening" " The Count..." " Quiet, for goodness' sake" "This morning he lodged in the same inn as me" "This letter addressed to him from your ward ended up in my hands lt is her handwriting!" "Don Basilio knows nothing about it" "Coming for him to give the girl a lesson I wished to earn your favour" " With this letter one could..." " What?" "I'll tell you." "If I could talk to the girl I could make her believe that another of the Count's lovers gave it to me proof that the Count is making a fool of Rosina" "Not so fast" "Slander!" "Splendid!" "Worthy pupil of Don Basilio!" "I shall know how to reward so fine a suggestion I'll go and call the girl" "As you concern yourself so much in my interest, I put my trust in you" "Have no doubts" "I didn't mean to mention the letter" "But without this expedient I would have had to leave like a simpleton I shall now reveal my plan to her lf she approves, my happiness will be complete" "Here she comes." "I feel my heart leap in my breast" "Come, young lady" "Don Alonso, whom you see, will give you a lesson" "What's the matter?" "It's a cramp in my foot" "That's nothing!" "Come near me, pretty maid lf you don't mind, I'll give you a lesson instead of Don Basilio I shall accept it with pleasure" " What are you singing?" " lf you agree, I'll sing the rondo from the " Useless Precaution"" "That's a good girl, let's begin" "Against a heart where love burns with true, unquenchable fire a tyrant arms himself in vain with sternness, with cruelty" "From every assault the conqueror, love, will always prevail" "Lindoro, my treasure, if you knew, if you could see!" "This brute of a guardian, how furious he makes me!" "My dear, I put my trust in you, save me, for pity's sake" "Do not fear, I reassure you" "Fortune will be friendly to us" " Should I hope?" " Trust me" " And my heart?" " lt will rejoice" "Dear smiling image" "Sweet notion of a joyful love" "You set my heart aflame in my breast" "You transport me with delight" "A lovely voice!" "Excellent!" "A thousand thanks!" "A lovely voice, certainly, but that aria is very boring ln my time music was another matter" "When, for example, Caffariello sang that wonderful aria" "Listen, Don Alonso, here it is" "When you are near me, adorable Rosina..." "The aria said Giannina, but I say Rosina" "When you are near me, adorable Rosina my heart glows in my breast and dances the minuet" "Well done, signor barber!" "It was nothing, excuse me, I am at fault" " Why have you come, rogue?" " To shave you" " lt's you today - l'm not in the mood" "Tomorrow I won't be able to come" "Why?" "I have to shave and cut the hair of the new regiment's officers dress the blond wig for Marchioness Andronica give Count Bombé a "tower" hairdo provide a purgative for Bernardone, the lawyer" "And then, what's the use?" "Tomorrow I can't come" "Come on, less chatter" " Today I won't be shaved" " No?" "Just look at the clients I have!" "I come this morning:" "the house is in uproar I return after lunch:" "" l'm not in the mood"" "Have you taken me for some peasant barber?" "Call in another then, I'm going" "Let him have his way" "What caprices!" "Go and fetch the towels" "No, I'll go myself lf he had given me those keys, I would have been off lsn't the key to open the balcony among them?" "Yes, it is the newest one I'm a fine one to leave that devil of a barber here!" "Go yourself" "Everything is on the cupboard at the end of the corridor" "Watch out" "Don't touch anything I'm not mad." "Cheer up!" "I'll be right back." "The blow is struck" "That is the rogue who brought to the Count Rosina's letter" "He seems..." "He seems to me an intriguer of the first order" "He won't fix me!" " Just my luck!" " What a noise!" "What a rogue!" "I knew it in my heart" "That Figaro is a great man" "Tell me, dear one:" "will you link your lot with mine?" "Be frank!" "My Lindoro, I wish for nothing else" "Well then?" "He has broken everything:" "six plates, eight glasses, a tureen" "See here!" "If I had not caught myself on a key in that accursed corridor which is so dark I would have broken my head" "He keeps every room in darkness, and then..." " No more" " Let's begin" " Be careful" " Come on" " Don Basilio!" " What's this I see!" "What an obstacle!" "Look who's here!" "Your servant one and all" "What do these new tidings mean?" "Whatever will become of us?" "We shall need boldness here" "Don Basilio, how are you?" "How am I?" "What's the hold-up?" "Are we going to have this blessed shave or not?" "I'm coming!" "Hey!" "Your representative?" "Representative?" "I told him that everything has been arranged ls that not so?" "Yes, yes I know everything" " Don Bartolo, explain yourself" " Hey, doctor, a word with you" "Don Basilio, I'll be with you." "Listen here a moment" "Try to get him outside, I fear he'll expose us" " My heart is quivering" " Don't despair" "He still knows nothing about the letter" "There's a muddle here for sure, but I can't guess what I fear he'll expose us, he still knows nothing" "You are right, my dear sir, I'll send him away right now" "Who advised you, Don Basilio, to go out walking with a fever?" " With a fever?" " And what do you think?" "You're as yellow as a corpse" "I'm as yellow as a corpse?" "Fancy that!" "Good heavens!" "See him shaking!" "This is scarlet fever!" "Scarlet fever!" "Go and take some medicine" "That will help you to endure it" "Quickly, go to bed" "You make me alarmed" "He is right, go to bed" "Quickly, go and rest" "Quickly, go and rest" "A purse!" "Go to bed!" "But that they should all be unanimous!" "Quickly, to bed" "Hey, I'm not deaf I don't have to be entreated any more" "What a colour!" "What a bad complexion!" "Bad complexion!" "Oh, very bad!" "Then I'm going" "Go, go!" "Good night, my dear sir" "Good night, my dear sir." "Quick, get out of here" "Good night, with all my heart" "Good night, with all my heart." "We'll talk tomorrow then" " Accursed nuisance!" " Don't shout" "Good night, my dear sir, peace, sleep, and health" "Come on then, Don Bartolo" "Here I am" "Tighten it" "Excellent" "Rosina, please, listen to me" "I am listening to you, here I am" "Precisely at midnight we'll be here to take you away" "Now that we have the key you have nothing to fear" " Ouch!" " What is the matter?" "There's something in my eye!" "Have a look, don't touch" "Blow, for pity's sake" "Precisely at midnight, I'll await you, my soul" "Already I wish to hasten the moment when I shall be bound to you" "Now I want to warn you, dear one, that your letter so that my disguise would not have been in vain..." "His disguise?" "Ah ha!" "Splendid, excellent!" "Don Alonso, very clever!" "Peace, joy!" "Rogues, rascals!" "All of you have sworn to break me!" "Out, you scoundrels." "I'd like to murder you" "Your head's in a spin" "Hush, doctor" "Out, you scoundrels" "Be quiet, it's no use shouting" "You have sworn to break me" "Hush, you are being ridiculous" "Our friend is raving, on that we're agreed" "The poor man is crazy, there's no way to reply" "We're agreed, there's no way to reply" "Be quiet, we're going, it's no use shouting" "Wretched me!" "Listen, Ambrogio, go to Don Basilio right away" "Tell him I have to see him urgently" "Go now" "You guard the doorway" "What a suspicious old man!" "I wish he'd stay away till he bursts" "There's always commotion here." "They quarrel, cry, threaten" "Yes, there's not an hour of peace with this stingy old grumbler" "Oh, what a house in turmoil!" "The old man is looking for a wife, the girl wants a husband" "The one rages, the other rants." "Both of them are mad" "But what is this thing love that makes everyone crazy?" "It is a universal sickness, a craze, an itch a tickling, a torment" "Poor me, I feel it also" "Poor me, I feel it also and don't know how it will end" "A curse on old age!" "I am despised by everyone" "And so I must needs die a desperate old maid" "Then you have no knowledge of Don Alonso?" "None at all" "Quick, get the notary here" "Here is the key to the front door:" "go, quickly, for goodness' sake" "Never fear, I'll be back here in two ticks" "Hey, Rosina" "Come here I have news to tell you about your lover" "You should know that he is having fun with another lover" "Here is the proof" "Heavens!" "My letter!" "I will go and call the guard" "How cruel is my fate!" "At last, here we are" "Figaro, give me your hand" "Heaven almighty!" "What infernal weather!" "Weather for lovers" "Hey, give me some light" "Where can Rosina be?" "Now we'll see" "Here she is" "My treasure!" "Back, wicked soul!" "I came only to remedy my stupid credulity to show what a lover you lost, worthless and ungrateful soul I am dumbstruck I don't understand a thing" " But for pity's sake..." " Be quiet" "You feigned love to sell me to that vile Count Almaviva" "To the Count?" "You're mistaken!" "Oh, happy me!" "Look at me, my treasure I am Almaviva, I am not Lindoro" "What an unexpected stroke!" "He himself!" "Oh heaven!" "What do I hear!" "I am nearly delirious with surprise and happiness" "It has taken their breath away." "Now they are dying of happiness" "Look what a fine coup my genius has made!" "What an unexpected triumph!" "Happy me!" "Oh glad moment!" "I am nearly delirious with love and happiness" "My lord!" "But you..." "But I..." "Ah, no more!" "No more, my own one!" "The fair name of my wife, my idol, already awaits you" "The fair name of your wife!" "What joy it brings my heart!" " Are you content?" " Ah, my lord!" "Quickly" "Sweet, fortunate bond that rewards my desires!" "Let's go" "Love, at last you have felt pity for my sufferings" "Let's go quickly" "If there is any delay, my subterfuges will fail for sure" "Good heavens!" "What do I see?" "A lantern at the door" "Two people!" "What shall we do?" " You saw?" " Yes, my lord" " Two people?" " Yes, my lord" " A lantern?" " At the door, yes, my lord" "What shall we do?" "Hush, quietly, let's not cause a disturbance" "Let's get out of here by the ladder from the balcony" "We are lost!" "What shall we do?" " What happened?" " The ladder" " Well then?" " The ladder's not there" " What's that you say?" " Who removed it?" " What a cruel setback!" " Unlucky me!" "Hush, I hear someone." "What shall we do, my lord?" "Courage, my Rosina" "Here they come" "Don Bartolo!" "Don Basilio" "And the other one?" "It's our notary" "Cheer up." "Let me handle it" "Signor notary this evening you were to draw up the contract for the marriage between Count Almaviva and my niece" "The couple are here." "Do you have the document with you?" " Excellent" " Not so fast" "Where is Don Bartolo?" "Don Basilio, this ring is for you" " But I..." " Also for you are two bullets in the brain if you resist" "Oh dear!" "I'll take the ring." "Who is signing?" "Here we all are." "The witnesses are Figaro and Don Basilio" "She is my bride" "Hurrah!" "How happy I am!" "Oh, the bliss l have longed for!" "Hurrah!" "Stop everyone." "Here they are" "Take it easy, sir" "They are thieves, sir." "Arrest them" "Your name, good sir?" "My name is that of a man of honour I am Count Almaviva" "In short, I got it all wrong!" "Alas, that's so!" "But you, you rogue, to betray me and act as a witness!" "Dear Don Bartolo, that Count has certain reasons in his pocket certain arguments that brook no answers" "And I, complete ass, ensured their marriage by taking away the ladder" "That's what you call a " Useless Precaution"" "Let us keep the eternal memory of so happy a union I'll extinguish the lantern, I have nothing more to do here" "May love and eternal faith be seen to reign in your hearts" "One such happy moment has been worth the sighs and suffering" "At last this loving soul begins to breathe again" "May love and eternal faith be seen to reign in your hearts" "You have kindled the flame in the humble Lindoro" "A finer fate awaits you, rise up and rejoice" "May love and eternal faith be seen to reign in your hearts"
