Happy New Year's

Rent


MIMI 

How long til next year? 

ROGER 

Three and a half minutes... 

MIMI 

I'm giving up my vices 
I'm going back - Back to school 
Eviction or not 
This week's been so hot 
That long as I've got you 
I know I'll be cool 

I couldn't crack the love code, dear 
'Til you made the lock on my heart explode 
It's gonna be a happy new year 
A happy new year 

MARK 

Coast is clear 
You're supposed to be working 
That's for midnight 
Where are they? 
There isn't much time 

MIMI 

Maybe they're dressing 
I mean what does one wear that's apropos? 
For a party - that's also a crime 

MAUREEN 

Chips, anyone? 

MARK 

You can take the girl out of Hicksville 
But you can't take the Hicksville out of the girl 

MAUREEN 

My riot got you on TV 
I deserve a royalty 

MIMI 

Be nice you two 
Or no God awful Champagne 

MAUREEN 

Don't mind if I do 
No luck? 

ROGER 

Bolted plywood, padlocked with a chain 
A total dead end 

MAUREEN 

Just like my ex-girlfriend 
Honey...? 
I know you're there... 
Please pick up the phone 
Are you okay? 

It's not funny 
It's not fair 
How can I atone? 
Are you okay? 

I lose control 
But I can learn to behave 
Give me one more chance 
Let me be your slave 

I'll kiss your Doc Martens 
Let me kiss your Doc Martens 
Your every wish I will obey 

JOANNE 

That might be okay 
Down girl 
Heel... stay 

I did a bit of research 
With my friends at legal aid 
Technically, you're squatters 
There's hope 
But just in case 

MARK & JOANNE 

Rope! 

MARK 

We can hoist a line -- 

JOANNE 

To the fire escape -- 

MARK 

And tie off at 

MARK & JOANNE 

That bench 

MAUREEN 

I can't take them as chums 

JOANNE 

Start hoisting... wench 

ROGER 

I think I should be laughing 
Yet I forget 
Forget how to begin 

I'm feeling something inside 
And yet I still can't decide 
If I should hide 
Or make a wide open grin 

Last week I wanted just to disappear 
My life was dust 
But now it just may be a happy new year 
A happy new year 

COLLINS 

Bond -- James Bond 

ANGEL 

And Pussy Galore - In person 

MIMI 

Pussy - You came prepared 

ANGEL 

I was a Boy Scout once 
And a Brownie 
'Til some brat got scared 

COLLINS 

Aha! Moneypenny - My martini! 

MIMI 

Will bad Champagne do? 

ROGER 

That's shaken - Not stirred 

COLLINS 

Pussy - The bolts 

MIMI 

Two minutes left to execute our plan 

COLLINS 

Where's everyone else? 

ROGER 

Playing Spiderman 

MARK 

Ironic close up : Tight 
On the phone machine's red light 
Once the Boho Boys are gone 
The power mysteriously comes on
