[addie mizner]
never let a chance go by, hollis
don’t you see that here’s your chance?
how to stoke the fire
is the problem in acquiring a patron
every patron has a matron

let her feel fulfilled
trust me she’ll be thrilled
once she sees the house
that i’m going to build
and you’ll get your guild…

[hollis bessemer, spoken]
aunt eva, uncle edward, allow me to introduce you to your new house

(the hotel vanishes and a house appears.)

[eva stotesbury]
look at it!

(the house moves into place.)

look at it, look at it!

(spoken)
oh, hollis, darling, you may put me at the head of the list of sponsors for your artist colony. you may even name the administration building the eva—and edward—stotesbury building. if mr. mizner will design it, of course

[addie, spoken]
just as soon as my… schedule permits…
[hollis]
you…
where have you been all my life?

you…
you’re the answer to my prayers

you…
you’re one in a million

you…
where have you been all my life? [eva]

look at it

look at it

notice the detail

[addie, spoken]
remember the breakfast nook? [edward]

look at it
look at it

(spoken)
what’s that? it’s enormous

[eva stotesbury]
wait til edith trumbauer sees it…

[hollis, spoken]
now about that administration building—

[edith trumbauer, spoken]
hollis. bessamer

[hollis, spoken]
h-llo, edith

[edith, spoken]
where’s this michaelangelo you’ve found for your aunt eva? mr. mizner, the house you built eva is a work of art! you must build me one exactly like it!

[addie, spoken]
no

[edith, spoken]
no?

[addie, spoken]
no, it has to be something for you

(sung)
i see cypress arches, mosaic floors
reminiscent of the conquistadors
i see colonnades
in a hundred shades
with a roman cloister
to house the maids
i see—

(addison waves his building plans and a new mansion appears and begins moving into place.)

[edith, spoken to her husband who is watching the spectacle]
lovely, isn’t it?

(her husband nods and starts to write a check.)

[addie]
(to hollis)
you…
you’re the answer to my prayers

[edith]
lovely, absolutely lovely!

[addie]
you…
you’re one in a million

[hollis, spoken]
edith, i’m sure aunt eva’s told you about this artist’s colony—

[edith, spoken]
yes, yes, yes, but why is mine smaller than hers?

(edith’s husband stops writing the check and addison’s face falls)

[hollis, spoken]
…that’s merely the west wing…

(hollis nods at addison, who alters his plans, and another part of the mansion appears. edith smiles and the music resumes.)
[addie]
you…

where have you been all my life?

you…

they have the money—

we—
both have a dream

me, too
who knew
that you’d come into my life?
where have you been? [hollis]

you…
where have you been all my life?
you…

you have the vision—

we—

both have a dream
me…
i’d say we’re a team

who knew
that you’d come into my life?
where have you been?

[lily cosden, spoken]
hollis bessemer!

[hollis, spoken]
lily cosden. i know, say h-llo to addie mizner

[lily, spoken]
my joshua’s been very naughty, addie. he insists on giving me one of your handsome houses for my birthday

[addie, spoken]
when’s your birthday?

[lily, spoken]
march tenth!

[addie, spoken]
i’ll… see what i can do…

[lily, spoken]
make it like edith trumbauers’, only in blue

[addie]
blue is for norwegians dearie
blue is not you

[lily, spoken]
no?

[addie]
no!
you’re a hacienda
a happy fusion of
indonesian
and andalusian
i see gingerbread
i see chinese red
and a huge victorian potting shed—

[lily, spoken]
fine, fine, just as long as it’s finished by march 10th

[addie]
(sung under his breath)
and a pond where you can go soak your head…

[hollis, spoken]
uh, happy birthday!

(a new mansion appears.)

[dowager & husband]
look at it, look at it

[dowager]
their house has a view of the ocean
addison, such a view of the ocean

[hollis]
yes, but yours has the acreage
yours has the privacy
yours has the cupola

[dowager, spoken]
the cupola?

[hollis]
the cupola
that addie’s just designed for you!
looking down on the cosdens and out at the ocean!

[dowager]
down on the cosdens!

[hollis]
and out at the ocean!

[hollis & addie]
you…

[another dowager]
yoo-hoo, mr. mizner, a house for me!

[husband]
we’ll take two
make that three

[hollis]
a house for mrs. dupont

[another dowager, spoken]
pardon me, i was next

[hollis]
a house for mrs. wanamaker

[addie]
i see minarets
i see parapets
i see gargoyles!

[hollis]
a house for mrs. fipps

[addie]
grottos!

[hollis]
another house for mrs. fipps

[woman]
a house for me!

[husband & wife]
a house for us!

[women]
a house for them!

[husband]
a house for me!

[women]
us!

[men]
them!

[women]
us!

[hollis & addie]
you…
where have you been all my life?

[ensemble]
you…
where have you been all our lives?

[hollis & addie]
you…
you’re the answer to my prayers

[ensemble]
you’re the answer to our prayers

[hollis & addie]
we…
will make a paradise here

[ensemble]
you’re one in a million

[hollis]
and with your permission

[addie]
and your ambition

[both]
and their tradition
of acquisition
we’ll build a place where

{all]
a brand new world can play
where have you been all my life?
don’t go away!

[eva]
yes, but theirs has a floating gazebo!
