[00:00:00] A Letter From Cecile (SMASH Cast Version) - SMASH Cast/Megan Hilty

[00:00:06] "Dear Sophie

[00:00:08] At the convent of St Ursuline

[00:00:13] Under lock and key we always felt secure

[00:00:16] We were taught that Heaven is divine

[00:00:20] And all who enter it are innocent and pure

[00:00:24] And inside those medieval walls

[00:00:29] We had no reason to believe it wasn′t true

[00:00:32] But it′s hard to stay strong when one leaves those holy halls

[00:00:36] And Sophie that is why I′m writing this to you

[00:00:42] For there′s this man you see

[00:00:44] This man Vicomte Valmont

[00:00:45] A second cousin to the cousin of my mother

[00:00:49] Who would look at me

[00:00:51] As he played faro with my aunt

[00:00:52] And he wasn′t looking at me like a brother

[00:00:56] He is with us in Deauville

[00:00:58] As my dear mama prepares

[00:01:00] For my marriage she′s brokered and arranged

[00:01:02] But last night as I lay still

[00:01:05] I heard him coming up the stairs

[00:01:10] And now Sophie I am permanently changed

[00:01:12] He arrived just past eleven

[00:01:18] Saying we would fly to Heaven

[00:01:19] And before the night was over he was right

[00:01:22] Now nuns say Heaven′s for the strong

[00:01:25] But I′m afraid he′s proved them wrong

[00:01:28] And he′s bringing Heaven back tomorrow night"

[00:01:32] Madame Volanges:

[00:01:33] Cecile what′s that racket I don′t hear your lesson what are you doing in there

[00:01:38] Cecile:

[00:01:38] Oh oh yes Mama I′m working out a very hard passage

[00:01:45] "At the convent of St Ursuline

[00:01:49] We were sheltered from the evil ways of men

[00:01:53] We were warned that they would pour your wine

[00:01:57] And could seduce you with just paper and a pen

[00:02:00] And beneath the chapel and its dome

[00:02:05] We had no reason to believe the nuns would lie

[00:02:09] But if Heaven′s what I felt upstairs in Madame Rosemonde′s home

[00:02:14] Well then Sophie I am not afraid to die

[00:02:19] But there′s this man you see

[00:02:21] Monsieur Gercourt′s his name

[00:02:22] And he′s expecting a young wife who is intact

[00:02:26] How enraged he′ll be

[00:02:27] When he learns of Valmont′s game

[00:02:29] For now he will not be the first and that′s a fact

[00:02:33] And if that were not enough

[00:02:34] Love and music stole my heart

[00:02:35] When my tutor Danceny made my harp sing

[00:02:38] But our future′s looking rough

[00:02:43] And our young love may come apart

[00:02:47] Since Valmont exposed my harp and plucked the string

[00:02:52] As my corset he unlaced

[00:02:53] I pleaded "Heaven calls the chaste"

[00:02:55] I begged "Don′t spoil me sir before you I do kneel"

[00:02:58] But then spoil me he did

[00:03:00] So now I say "Heaven forbid him"

[00:03:02] And I still think I′m in Heaven signed your loyal friend Cecile"
