Of course, it wasn't long before the water turned silty, brackish and then disappeared altogether. As cruel as Caldwell B. Cladwell was, his measures effectively regulated water consumption, sparing the town the same fate as the phantom Urinetown. Hope chose to ignore the warning signs, however, preferring to bask in the people's love for as long as it lasted.
Little Sally
What kind of musical is this?! The good guys finally take over and then everything starts falling apart.
Lockstock
Like I said, Little Sally. This isn't a happy musical.
Little Sally
But the music's so happy!
Lockstock
Yes, Little Sally. Yes it is.
Josephine
Such a fever. If only I had a cool, tall glass of water, maybe I'd have a fighting chance.
Hope
But don't you see, Mrs. Strong? The glass of water's inside you, it always has been.
Josephine
It has?
Hope
Of course it has.
