| It's not a lyric. It's a line. In the Christopher Bond source play, the line is "My right hand is complete again." No "At last." Similarly, the published script has "My right arm is complete again." No "At last." I don't remember what it is in the movie, but offhand at least, I don't recall "right" being there. Many productions stick with what was said in the original production, but I have seen at least a couple that included "right." |

| Oddly enough - I have copies of the old printed PC Score and the MTI published full score and while PC score does not have "at last", the full score does include it (and they both include "right arm".). I think the best we can determine is there has been a lot of inconsistency probably some simply due to the handedness of actors! | |

| A correction, though - the "old printed" score is not a PC, it's a piano-vocal based on Sondheim's (pre-orchestration) piano part. THAT one was/is published. The full score was not published, maybe you meant to say printed? The new MTI PC score (not published) has the complete line, and the old manuscript version of the PC score has "at last" but not "right." The other thing to say, of course, is that scores (as opposed to scripts) are not usually the best source for accurate dialogue lines. Sometimes lines are only hinted at or abbreviated. Or plain wrong. ;-) |

| In the printed vocal score, the line is “My right arm is complete again!” | |

| On page 340 of "Finishing the Hat," the lyric is "My right arm is complete again." There is a footnote explaining that both Len Cariou and George Hearn were left-handed. I remember reading that a while ago. |
