Which baby did you throw on the fire?
Did you say she was marrying Philip?
@Operaramblings: Ooh, good ones!
Haha! These are great; I love John's as well. Number 10 is the only one I can't really place (8 and 9 could multitask, I think.) Also "I need you to swear an oath" rarely ends well, somehow.
@Lucy: #10 is technically "Tosca"-Act One Scarpia before he gets her thinking-but it could be any opera in which there's a tangled relationship. #8 is "Werther" and #9 "Tosca", but you're right that they multi-task. And AMEN about oath-swearing in opera. Bad, bad idea.
