Viewing Lyrics for Finale The Lot And The Loft:
| | | Artist: | Various Artists |
| | Album: | Rent Soundtrack, Cast Recording | | Track: | Finale The Lot And The Loft | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 52 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 | | | |
