Is someone there? I knew it! I knew someone would come for me! What happened here? I don't know, mister! I was putting on a show, surrounded by my adoring Lulu's - my fans - all cheering and dancing! But then this strange fog arrived, and they started screaming, and choking, and it was oh so frightful! And then my Lulu's left me here, stranded! Just because they were dying! Look, is there a way up there that doesn't kill me? Oh! My hero! You'd really save little old me? A regular Dougie Fairbanks, you are... Lady- Head down to the basement. It leads backstage. Please - don't leave me in this jam! Alright, alright. I won't keep you hanging. Come on. C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon. Argh! Damn it. Now before you leave... Someone wants a word! Apologies, but it seems out the organizers of today's shindig want Lorelei all for themselves! Congratulations to our grand champion! The last one standing! You have earned a night with the ineffable, the irresistible, the irrefutable Lorelei - Queen of the Oceans! Behold as your prize descends from the heavens! Yeah, yeah. And now, Calvin, my prize is yours for the taking! Pull that lever, and return me to the sea. Then I'll give you a hero's send-off! Can't wait. Oh! You made it! I knew you were a Lulu - a true fan! What's your name, handsome? It's Calvin. Oh, it's even more beautiful than I imagined! Yeah, yeah. And now, Calvin, my prize is yours for the taking! Pull that lever, and return me to the sea. Then I'll give you a hero's send-off! Can't wait. So how about these ropes? Yeah, that ain't happening. What do you mean, baby? The whole murderous diva thing doesn't do it for me. What? You did it! Now come, darling, cut me loose! Oh my knight in shining armor!
