The singers once again retired to their dressing rooms for the night. The true contestants were downcast by the loss of yet another of theitr number while the three critics and their ally were inwardly gloating.
After they had picked up their message from Wlater the three critics chose there target and moved silently along the pasages of the opera house to where their next victim was singing, confident that the contestants' luck would soon change with his help:
Der Kritikerfänger bin ich ja,
Stets lustig heissa hopsasa!
Ich Kritikerfänger bin bekannt
bei Alt und Jung im ganzen Land.
Weiß mit dem Lokken umzugehn
und mich aufs Pfeiffen zu verstehen!
Drum kann ich froh und lustig sein,
Denn alle Kritiker sind ja mein.
Papageno
"That's what you think!" they chorused in harmony as they burst in, not even bothering to tell him he was out of his range struggling with his tessitura. This time the singer would be dispatched and would stay dispatched. And they had hit the jackpot.
