Various Artists Rent Soundtrack, Cast Recording Finale (The Lot And The Loft) ALL SEVEN HOMELESS Christmas bells are ringing Christmas bells are ringing Christmas bells are ringing How time flies When compassion dies No stockings No candy canes No gingerbread No safety net No loose change No change no ONE HOMELESS MAN "Santy Claus is coming" ALL Cause Santy Claus ain't coming No room at the Holiday Inn -- again Well, maybe next year -- Or -- when (Lights shift back to the loft. A small projector rests on a milk crate, which is on a dolly.) MARK December 24th, ten p.m. Eastern standard time I can't believe a year went by so fast Time to see what we have time to see Turn the projector on (A rough title credit, "Today 4 U: Proof Positive," appears, followed by a shot from last Christmas of ROGER tuning his guitar.) First shot Roger With the fender guitar he just got out of hock When he sold the car That took him away and back ROGER I found my song MARK He found his song If he could just find Mimi ROGER I tried -- you know I tried (MARK's image appears on-screen.) MARK Fade in on Mark Who's still in the dark ROGER But he's got great footage MARK Which he's cut together ROGER To screen tonight (BENNY's image appears on screen.) MARK In honor of Benny's wife ROGER Muffy MARK Alison Pulling Benny out of the East Village location (The projector blows a fuse. Blackout.) ROGER Then again, maybe we won't screen it tonight. MARK I wonder how Alison found out about Mimi? ROGER Maybe a little bird told her. (COLLINS enters in the dark, with several twenty-dollar bills in each hand.) COLLINS Or an angel. (Lights fade up.) I had a little hunch that you could use a little flow ROGER Tutoring again? COLLINS Negative MARK Back at N.Y.U.? COLLINS No, no, no I rewired the ATM at the food emporium To provide an honorarium to anyone with the code ROGER & MARK The code -- Well...? COLLINS A-N-G-E-L Yet Robin Hooding isn't the solution The powers that be must be undermined where they dwell In a small, exclusive gourmet institution Where we overcharge the wealthy clientele ALL THREE Let's open up a restaurant in Santa Fe With a private corner banquette in the back COLLINS We'll make it yet, we'll somehow get to Santa Fe ROGER But you'd miss New York before you could unpack ALL Ohh-- (MAUREEN and JOANNE enter, carrying MIMI.) MAUREEN Mark! Roger! Anyone -- help! MARK Maureen? MAUREEN It's Mimi -- I can't get her up the stairs ROGER No! (They enter the loft.) MAUREEN She was huddled in the park in the dark And she was freezing And begged to come here ROGER Over here Oh, God -- (They lay her down carefully on the table.) MIMI Got a light -- I know you -- you're shivering... JOANNE She's been living on the street ROGER We need some heat MIMI I'm shivering MARK We can buy some wood and something to eat COLLINS I'm afraid she needs more than heat MIMI I heard that MAUREEN Collins will call for a doctor, honey MIMI Don't waste your money on Mimi, me, me COLLINS Hello -- 911? I'm on hold! MIMI Cold...cold... would you light my candle? ROGER Yes -- we'll -- oh God -- find a candle MIMI I should tell you I should tell you ROGER I should tell you I should tell you MIMI I should tell you Benny wasn't any-- ROGER Shhh--I know I should tell you why I left It wasn't cause I didn't -- MIMI I know I should tell you ROGER I should tell you MIMI (whispering) I should tell you I love you-- (MIMI fades) ROGER Who do you think you are? Leaving me alone with my guitar Hold on there's something you should hear It isn't much but it took all year (MIMI stirs and ROGER begins playing acoustic guitar at her bedside.) |
