Kira We've been painted by Michelangelo. Shakespeare's written sonnets about us. Beethoven's played music for us. We're not supposed to feel emotion or show any feelings. Muses are just supposed to inspire.

Kira "Magic" by John Farrar
Kira You have to believe we are magic, nothin' can stand in our way You have to believe we are magic, don't let your aim ever stray And if all your hopes survive, destiny will arrive I'll bring all your dreams alive, for you
Kira "Magic" by John Farrar
Kira From where I stand you are home free, the planets align so rare There's promise in the air, and I'm guiding you
Kira "Magic" by John Farrar
Kira But how can our love succeed A miracle is what we need And so I appeal to you To keep me suspended in time with you Don't let this moment die I get a feeling when I'm with you None of the rules apply But I know for certain Goodbye is a crime So love if you need me Suspend me in time
Kira "Suspended in Time" by John Farrar
Kira A place where nobody dared to go the love that we came to know They call it Xanadu And now, open your eyes and see what we have made is real We are in Xanadu A million lights are dancing and there you are, a shooting star An everlasting world and you're here with me, eternally Xanadu
Kira "Xanadu" written by Jeff Lynne
Kira The love, the echoes of long ago you needed the world to know They are in Xanadu The dream that came through a million years That lived on through all the tears, it came to Xanadu

Hey I've been asking about you all day. You may not believe this but I'm painting an album cover and you're on it.
Kira Why shouldn't I believe it?
Because before today I never laid eyes on you. Now I've seen you 3 times in one day. That's a little too coincidental.
Kira Sounds like you don't believe it.
I want to know more about you.
Kira You already know enough about me. Any more and you're going to get a headache.
Are you living with someone?
Kira Yes. I told you I live with my sisters.
I know. In an apartment on the second floor. All right, then. What's your last name?
Kira Same as my mother's and father's.
And what's that?
Kira Which one, my mother's or my father's?
Either!
Kira The same as mine!
I get it. No questions.
Kira No questions, no lies.
No questions, no truth, either.
Kira Have you ever heard the expression "kissed by a muse"? Well, that's what I am. I'm a muse.
Well, I'm glad someone's having a good time.
Kira Oh, don't make jokes; I'm serious.
Kira Look up "muse" in the dictionary. Go on, page seven twenty-eight. Read it!
Okay, all right. I'll read it. [reading] "Muse; any one of the nine sister..."
Kira Like the album cover? Mm-hmm?
[reading]
"Any one of the nine sister goddesses in Greek mythology, presiding over song, and poetry, and the arts and do you believe me now, Sonny?" How'd you do that? What's going on?
Don't tell anyone, but I'm nervous.
Kira What about?
I haven't had a club opening since... 1945. Wow.
Kira Then just pretend it's 1945 all over again.
Kira, I want you to promise me one thing.
Kira Anything!
On opening night, I get the first dance.
Kira Okay.
You're gonna dance?
Oh, I've been known to twinkle a toe or two.
I've come to take you out of here.
Kira It can't be done. No one's ever taken anyone out of here. Not in the whole history of... the whole history!
I'll make them let you go. Zeus! Zeus, you hear me?
Kira Oh, God.
