ALL
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--
MAN #2
Santy Clause is coming!
ALL
'Cause Santy Clause ain't coming
No room
At the Holiday Inn again
Well, maybe next year, or when...
[guitar strums one chord over and over again]
MARK
December 24th, 10PM, Eastern Standard time.
I can't believe a year went be so fast.
Time to see
What we have time to see.
Turn the projector on!
First shot Roger,
With the Fender guitar he just got outta hock
When he sold the car
That took him away and back.
ROGER
I found my song!
MARK
Found his song,
If he could just find Mimi
ROGER
I tried...you know I tried.
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
MARK
In honor of Benny's wife
ROGER
Muffy!
MARK
Alison!
Pulling Benny
Out of the East Village location...
[electricity goes out]
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
Or...an angel
I had a little hunch
You could use a little flow
ROGER
Tutoring again?
COLLINS
Negative
MARK
Back at NYU?
COLLINS
No, no, no.
I rewired the ATM
At the Food Emporium
To provide an honorarium
To anyone with the code
MARK AND ROGER
The co-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ode...
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
Let's open up a restaraunt in Santa Fe
(Sante Fe)
With a private corner banquette
In the back
We'll make it
Yet we'll somehow get to Santa Fe
(Santa Fe)
ROGER
But you missed New York before you could unpack!
COLLINS, ROGER, MARK
Woah, oh, oh oh oh oh ...
MAUREEN
Mark! Roger! Anyone, HELP!
MARK
Maureen?
MAUREEN
It's Mimi...I can't get her up the stairs!
ROGER
NO!
MAUREEN
She was huddled in the park
In the dark
And she was freezing
And begged to come here
ROGER
Over here.
Oh God...
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 me, me, 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
Shh...
I know
I should tell you why I left
It's wasn't 'cause I didn't--
MIMI
I know
I should tell you
ROGER
I should tell you
MIMI
I should tell you
I love you...
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
