Rick is a 2003 movie whose plot and title character, Rick O'Lette, are borrowed from the opera Rigoletto although, save for a snippet of La donna è mobile as restaurant background music, Verdi's music is not heard. Rick stars Bill Pullman and Aaron Stanford. It is directed by Curtiss Clayton and written by Daniel Handler.
The film chronicles the tragic fall of a cursed Wall Street second banana, Rick O'Lette.
Writer Daniel Handler also makes a cameo appearance as the Perky Waiter.
The main score is by Ted Reichman.
Den mannen kom fra en helt annet tid
Som et gjenskinn fra en ild som brant en gang
Den mannen ble en venn av mitt liv
Så blei han stille og så blei han en sang
Og hvem skal dømme?
Månen steig og sank
og glassene blei tømt
Vi er; vi drømmer
Så blir det daggry
Og drømmene er drømt
Den dagen var som en helt vanlig dag
Du veit; en sånn dag da ikke noe skjer
Så ringer noen et sted langt borte fra
Og sier at han som var her, han er ikke mer
Og hvem skal dømme?
Månen steig og sank
og glassene blei tømt
Vi er; vi drømmer
Så blir det daggry
Og drømmene er drømt
Den mannen var fra en helt annet tid
Den tida som alle mine sanger kommer fra
Det skreik en fugl, noen skyer drev forbi
Men ellers var det en helt vanlig dag
Og hvem skal dømme?
Månen steig og sank
og glassene blei tømt
Vi er; vi drømmer
Så blir det daggry
Og drømmene er drømt
Så blir det daggry
Og drømmene er drømt

That man came from a whole other time
Like reflections of a fire that burned long ago
That man became my friend for life
Then he was silenced, and so became a song
And who should judge?
The moon rose and fell
and the glasses were emptied
We are, we dream
then the dawn comes
and our dreams are dreamt
That day was just like any other day
You know, a day when nothing much happens
Then someone calls from a place far away
and says that he who was here, he isn't anymore
And who should judge?
The moon rose and fell
and the glasses were emptied
We are, we dream
then the dawn comes
and our dreams are dreamt
The man was from a whole other time
The time where all my songs come from
A bird cried, some clouds drifted by
But otherwise, it was a completely ordinary day
And who should judge?
The moon rose and fell
and the glasses were emptied
We are, we dream
then the dawn comes
and our dreams are dreamt
Then the dawn comes
