(Backstage at the Luna Park Stadium. EVA by now a

successful actress, and PERON, by now one of the most

powerful men in the military government, are both

present. EVA's old friend MAGALDI is finishing his act

on stage.



MAGALDI

On this night...

On this night...

On this night of a thousand stars

Let me take you to heaven's door

Where the music of love's guitars

Plays for evermore!





(MAGALDI comes off stage and runs into EVA)



EVA

Magaldi?



MAGALDI

Eva Duarte?



EVA

You're act hasn't changed much.



MAGALDI

Neither has yours.



Crowd

Peron, Peron, Peron.



(MAGALDI leaves. The crowd begins to call for PERON.

PERON pushes his way onto the stage.)



PERON

I stand here as a servant of the people.

As we come together for a marvelous cause

You've shown by your presence, your deeds, and applause

What the people can do true power is your's

not the government unless it represents the people



CHE

Juan always picks the easy fight

Juan praises fools

Juan smothers light

Juan shifts from left to right

Politics the art of the possible
