APAG--"My Greatest Discovery"

Albert invites Eleanora to his lab, in order to share with her his "amazing breakthrough that will surely change both our lives." She, of course, assumes that he has figured out how to turn base metal into gold and secured their freedom from the castle.

ALBERT:
I have asked you here today
with the pomp and circumstance
of a man who's finally done it
who has finally got the chance
to see the truth
that's sure to set him free,
to truly understand the world I truly try to see
objectively...
and for once it's all so strangely clear to me.
The mysteries and elements have chosen to align,
driven by a catalyst that I cannot define
to create this moment I've been waiting for and reaming of.
It's not the gold, my friend, it's not the gold, it's...
always been in front of me.
So, what's a lonely man like me to do?
.
I'm telling you, it'syou...
.
You are my greatest discovery.
My heart has never spun so wildly.
I feel it pulsing like a star,
I'm being drawn to where you are.
Who knew that I could be
so mesmerized by gravity?
It's time to re-examine all the things I thought I knew,
for the greatest thing I'll ever know is what I felt when I discovered you.
.
I am a man who looks for truth
for gold and black and white.
I work methodically through the day
and sleep alone at night,
and till today I never thought I needed more.
But all along, it wasn't gold I hungered for.
I thought that all the questions had impossibly compounded.
Then a perfectly beauitiful answer arrives:
EUREKA, I HAVE FOUND IT!
.
You are my gretaest discovery.
My heart has never spun so wildly.
I feel it pulsing like a star,
I'm being drawn to where you are.
Who knew that I could be
so mesmerized by gravity?
I'ts time to throw out all the stupid things I thought I knew.
The greatest thing I'll ever know is what I felt when I discovered you.
.
Let me discover you.
Let me discover you.
.
(As the song ends, Albert begins to awkwardly "put the moves on" Eleanora, and the audience can see that she is torn---does she stay true to her vow to forswear love forever, or does she listen to her heart? Ultimately, she runs away...)
