Various Artists Rent Soundtrack, Cast Recording Take Me Or Leave Me (Any Location And Joanne's Lof MARK Valentine's Day...Pan across the empty lot. Roger's down at Mimi's, where he's been for almost two months now -- although he keeps talking about selling his guitar and heading out of town...Still jealous of Benny... God knows where Collins and Angel are...Could be that new Shanty Town near the river or a suite at the Plaza...Maureen and Joanne are rehearsing... JOANNE I said once more from the top ! MAUREEN I said no! MARK That is, if they're speaking this week. Me? I'm here. Nowhere. (Lights up on the scene.) JOANNE The line is 'Cyber Arts and its corporate sponsor, Grey Communications, would like to mitigate the Christmas Eve riots.' What is so difficult about that? MAUREEN It just doesn't roll off my tongue. I like my version! JOANNE You -- dressed as a ground hog. To protest the ground breaking! MAUREEN It's a metaphor! JOANNE Well, it's less than brilliant! MAUREEN That's it, Ms. Ivy League! JOANNE What?! MAUREEN Ever since New Year's, I haven't said boo. I let you direct, I didn't pierce my nipples because it grossed you out! I didn't sta and dance at the Clit Club that night, 'cause you wanted to go home... JOANNE You were flirting with the woman in rubber! MAUREEN That's what this is about!? There will always be women in rubber, flirting with me... Gimme a break. Every single day I walk down the street I hear people say, "Baby's so sweet" Ever since puberty Everybody stares at me Boys - girls I can't can't help it baby So be kind Don't lose your mind Just remember that I'm your baby Take me for what I am Who I was meant to be And if you give a damn Take me baby or leave me Take me baby or leave me A tiger in a cage Can never see the sun This diva needs her stage Baby - let's have fun! You are the one I choose Folks'd kill to fill your shoes You love the limelight too, baby So be mine Or don't waste my time Cryin' -- "Honeybear -- are you still my baby?" Take me for what I am Who I was meant to be And if you give a damn Take me baby or leave me No way -- can I be what I'm not But hey -- don't you want your girl hot! Don't fight -- don't lose your head Cause every night -- who's in your bed? Who's in your bed, baby? (Pouts in JOANNE's direction) Kiss, Pookie. JOANNE It won't work. I look before I leap I love margins and discipline I make lists in my sleep Baby what's my sin? Never quit -- I follow through I hate mess -- but I love you What to do With my impromptu baby? So be wise This girl satisfies You've got a prize But don't compromise You're one lucky baby Take me for what I am MAUREEN A control freak JOANNE Who I was meant to be MAUREEN A snob -- yet over-attentive JOANNE And if you give a damn MAUREEN A lovable, droll geek JOANNE Take me baby or leave me MAUREEN And anal retentive BOTH That's it! JOANNE The straw that breaks my back BOTH I quit JOANNE Unless you take it back BOTH Women MAUREEN What is it about them? BOTH Can't live -- With them -- Or without them! Take me for what I am Who I was meant to be And if you give a damn Take me baby or leave me Take me baby Or leave me Guess I'm leavin' I'm gone! (They both sit.) |
