24- Wellcome

(Still cradling the wounded Sally, Tommy sings to the audience) Tommy: (quietly cynical) Come to my house. Be one of my family's people. Lovely bright home... We're dancing all night, Never sleeping. (Tommy helps Sally to her feet and disarms the security guards) Milkman, come in! And you baker! Little old Lady welcome! And you, shoemaker! Come to this house! Into this house! You can help To collect some more in. Young and old people, Let's get them all in! (Videos and projections appear, first of small groups, then lines, then crowds of people.) Come to this house! Into this house! (Not having seen him at home since the cure, the Walkers and Uncle Ernie are startled to see Tommy bringing home a crowd of guards, reporters and the battered Sally Simpson. Tommy leads Sally with them and rushes out to bring more people in as the reporters mill around the house.) Tommy: (To the guards) Ask along that man who's wearing a carnation. Bring every single person From Victoria station. Go into that hospital And bring nurses and patients. Everyone go home and fetch your relations! Tommy & Crowd: Come to this house; Be one of this family's people. Lovely bright home... Dancing all night, never sleeping. Cousin Kevin (spoken) Sir, there's more at the door. Cousin Kevin and Guards: There's more at the door. There's more at the door. There's more at the door. ( A cutout backdrop of the crowd flies in, leading us to believe that the stadium audience and crowds of people off the street fill the Walker's house. The monitors show crowds surging down a London street.) All: There's more at the door. There's more at the door. There's more at the door. There's more at the door. There's more ... Tommy: We need more room. Build an extension! We'll all work together. Spare no expense now. (Mrs. Walker brings Sally from the bedroom. Tommy crosses to her) Tommy : Come to this house; Be one of us. Come into this house; Be one of us. Come to our house. Come to me now! (Tommy sits Sally down next to him on the sofa, as the reporters crowd around to capture Tommy's answer to Sally's question. Their image is picked up by the television camera and displayed on screens all over the stage.)
