The Bottle Drops

[Anchorperson, spoken]
We interrupt this program
Tragedy in paris, killed in a car crash, princess diana of wales

[Young amélie]
Her fingers slip
The bottle drops
And falling in slow motion
The bottle hits
The stopper rolls across the bathroom floor

And hits a wall
And with a click
It's like a tiny trapdoor opens

[Amélie]
A tiny hole, a metal box
A rusty hinge, a broken lock

[Amélie & company]
Slowly crack the treasure open

[Amélie]
Cat's eye marble, diecast car
A pocket knife, a chocolate bar
A watch that's waiting to be wound
A treasure waiting to be found
I am howard carter stepping into tutankhamun's tomb

[Hipolito, spoken]
Each object in the box was a breadcrumb leading to a dazzling idea

[Amélie]
Give back the box

[Georgette, spoken]
Wherever the owner was, she would find him and return his childhood

[Amélie]
I have to try

[Gina, spoken]
If he was touched, amélie would become an anonymous do-gooder

[Joseph, spoken]
That would be her mission; anonymous good-deed-doer

[Amélie]
If I did, I could be like lady di!
