Diane: Oh, what a glorious night. Somebody pinch me. That's just an expression, Cliff. On second thought, don't pinch me. If this is a dream, I do not want to awaken. Listen, I know that you're all novices to the opera, so I'd like to give you a little background. Tonight's performance is in Italian. I'm sure that you will find it both enlightening and entertaining. Oh, by the way, does anyone need opera glasses?
Cliff: Oh, no, no. [pulls out a pair of large binoculars] I brought a pair of my own there, Diane.
Norm: Cliffie, think those are powerful enough, pal?
Cliff: You better believe it, Norm. Get a load of the warheads on that cellist.
Sam: No, hey, hey, hey. Don't, don't, don't.
Diane: So this charming piece is in three acts. It begins with Edgardo leaving for France to renew his vow of love for Lucia. Though both houses have maintained a feud for years. [Sam takes a peek with Cliff's binoculars] Enrico, Lucia's brother, arranges a marriage between his friend Arturo and Lucia by tricking her into believing that Edgardo has been untrue. But let's watch.
