How do you leave the past behind when it keeps finding ways to get to your heart it reaches way down deep and tears you inside out 'til you're torn apart how can you connect in an age where strangers landlords, lovers your own blood cells betray confident, riotous angry, hopeful what binds the fabric together when the raging shifting winds of change keep ripping away draw a line in the sand and then make a stand use your camera to spar use your guitar when they act tough you call their bluff we're not gonna pay we're not gonna pay we're not gonna pay last year's rent this year's rent next year's rent rent rent rent rent rent we're not gonna pay rent cause everything is rent We're not gonna pay rent cause everything is rent Christmas bells are ringing Christmas bells are ringing Christmas bells are ringing somewhere else!

You wanna dance?
With you?
No.
With my father I'm Roger they call me they call me Mimi They call me they call me Mimi Last night one of our cast members sustained an injury.
Brendan Hunt, our Roger, has broken his foot and will be unable to perform tonight.
But Brent has always been about community, resiliency and bouncing back.
So the show must go on.
Most of what you'll see tonight will come from last night's performance, but we have all rallied together to rework the final act so that all of us including Brennan and the original Broadway cast of "RENT" can perform it for you live.
In the words of Jonathan Larson -- no day but today!
Look who I found!
Computer genius, adjunct professor, and the undisputed coolest man to ever live in our apartment.
Bustelo Marlboro banana by the bunch a box of captain crunch will taste so good and firewood look it's Santa Claus hold your applause oh hi oh hi after seven months?
Sorry this boy could use some Stoli oh holy night you struck gold at MIT?

I was waiting for you don't you know well, tonight's the night come to the life cafe after Maureen's show no flow gentlemen, our benefactor on this Christmas Eve whose charity is only matched by talent I believe a new member of the alphabet city avant garde Angel Dumott Schunard Avant garde Angel Dumott Schunard today for you tomorrow for me today for you tomorrow for me And you should hear her b*at!
You earned that on the street?
It was my lucky day today on Avenue A when a lady in a limousine drove my way she said, "dahling be a dear haven't slept in a year I need your help to make my neighbor's yappy dog disappear this Akita Evita just won't shut up I believe if you play non-stop that pup will breathe its very last high strung breath I'm certain that cur will bark itself to death" today for you tomorrow for me today for you tomorrow for me we agreed on a fee a thousand dollar guarantee tax-free and bonus if I trim her tree now who could foretell that it would go so well but sure as I am here that dog is now in doggy hell after an hour, Evita in all her glory on the window ledge of that 23rd story like Thelma and Louise did when they got the blues swan dove into the courtyard of the Gracie Mews today for you tomorrow for me today for you tomorrow for me then back on the street where I met my sweet as he was moaning and groaning on the cold concrete the nurse took him home for some Mercurochrome and I dressed his wounds and got him back on his feet singing today for you tomorrow for me today for you tomorrow for me I said today for you tomorrow for me today for you tomorrow for me oh oh oh for me joy to the world.
Benny still has a key?
Benny owns the building.
Hey you bum!
Yeah, you!
Move over!
Get your ass off that range rover!
That attitude toward the homeless is exactly what Maureen is protesting tonight.
Maureen is protesting losing her performance space.
Not my attitude.
She's not worried about the people who live in that empty lot.
She's worried about losing a home for her angry little protest skits.
What's happened to Benny?
What happened to his heart?
And the ideals he once pursued?
Any owner of that lot next door has the right to do with it as he pleases.
Happy birthday, Jesus!
The rent -- you're wasting your time.
We're broke.
And you broke your word.
This is absurd.
There is one way you won't have to pay.
I knew it!
Next door the home of cyberarts you see.
And now that the block is re-zoned, our dream can become a reality you'll see boys you'll a state of the art digital virtual interactive studio I'll forgo your rent and on paper guarantee that you can stay here for free if you do me one small favor.
What?
Convince Maureen to cancel her protest.
Why not just get an injunction or call the cops?
I did and they're on standby.
But my investors would rather I handle this quietly you can't quietly wipe out an entire tent city, then watch 'it's a wonderful life' on TV!
You want to produce films and write songs?
You need somewhere to perfect it.
It's what we used to dream about, think twice before you reject it.
You'll see boys you'll see boys you'll see the beauty of a studio that lets us do our work and get paid with condos on the top whose rent keeps open our shop just stop her protest and you'll have it made you'll see or you'll pack.
That boy could use some Prozac.
Or heavy dr*gs.
Or group hugs.
Which reminds me - "We have a detour to make tonight.
Anyone who wants to can come along.
Life support is a group for people coping with life.
We don't have to stay too long.
First I've got that protest to save.
Roger?
I'm not much company you'll find behave he'll catch up later he's just got other things on his mind you'll see boys we'll see boys let it be boys!
I like boys boys like me we'll see you've reached Maureen and Joanne.
Be at my show tonight at the 11th street lot.
Well, Joanne, we're off I tried you at the office and they said you're stage managing or something the hearings oh yes kitten mummy's confirmation hearing begins on the tenth we'll need you alone by the sixth Harold!
For mummy's sake, kitten no doc martens this time and wear a dress oh and kitten have a merry And a bra!!!
Tonight's big show is in mortal danger due to technical difficulties.
Can Maureen's pathetic ex save the day?
Mark?
Yeah.
And you must be Joanne.
I told her not to call you that's Maureen but can I help since I'm here I hired an engineer great so, nice to have met you wait she's three hours late the samples won't delay but the cable there's another way say something anything test one two three anything but that this is weird it's weird very weird super weird I'm so mad that I don't know what to do fighting with microphones freezing down to my bones and to top it all off I'm with you feel like going insane?
Got a fire in your brain?
and you're thinking of drinking gasoline?
As a matter of fact honey, I know this act it's called the tango Maureen the tango Maureen it's a dark, dizzy merry-go-round as she keeps you dangling you're wrong your heart she is mangling it's different with me and you toss and you turn 'cause her cold eyes can burn yet you yearn and you churn and rebound I think I know what you mean the tango Maureen has she ever pouted her lips and called you 'pookie' never have you ever doubted a kiss or two?
This is spooky did you swoon when she walked through the door?
Every time so be cautious did she moon over other boys?
More than moon I'm getting nauseous where'd you learn to tango?
where'd you learn to tango?
With the Spanish ambassador's daughter in her dorm room at Miss Porter's.
And you?
With Nanette Himmelfarb, the rabbi's daughter, at the Scarsdale Jewish community center.
It's hard to do this backwards.
You should try it in heels!
She cheated she cheated Maureen cheated yup she cheated I'm defeated I should give up right now gotta look on the bright side with all your might I'd fall for her still anyhow when you're dancing her dance you don't stand a chance her grip of romance makes you fall so you think, 'might as well' dance a tango to hell at least I'll have tangoed at all the tango Maureen gotta dance 'til your diva is through you pretend to believe her cause in the end you can't leave her but the end it will come still you have to play dumb 'til you're glum and you bum and turn blue why do we love when she's mean?
And she can be so obscene try the Mike My Maureen patched.
Thanks.
You know, I feel great now!
I feel lousy.
Hi, honey, we're -- "pookie?" you've never called me "pookie." Told ya so.
Forget it.
We're patched.
Maureen!

No housing, no peace!
No housing, no peace!
As 1991 draws to a close.
Tonight, one woman attempts to heal the divide, or perhaps fan the flames.
And we get to watch either way!
Qu guapa.
Qu Bella.
Mir, tan cute!
Last night I had a dream.
I found myself in a desert called cyberland.
It was hot.
My canteen had sprung a leak and I was thirsty.
My canteen had sprung a leak and I was thirsty.
Out of the abyss walked a cow -a " Elsie.
I asked if she had anything to drink.
She said -- I'm forbidden to produce milk in cyberland we only drink diet coke She said -- only thing to do is jump over the moon they've closed everything real down like barns, troughs everything real down like barns, troughs performance spaces and replaced it all with lies and rules and virtual life but there is way out.
Leap of faith leap of faith leap of faith leap of faith only thing to do leap of faith leap of faith is jump over the moon Leap of faith is jump over the moon leap of faith leap of faith I gotta get out here it's like I'm being tied to the hood of a yellow rental truck packed in with fertilizer and fuel oil pushed over a cliff by a suicidal Mickey Mouse I've gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta find a way to jump over the moon leap of faith To jump over the moon leap of faith leap of faith only thing to do leap of faith leap of faith is jump over the moon leap of faith leap of faith then a little bulldog entered.
His name was Benny.
Really, Maureen?
And although he once had principles, he abandoned them to live as a lap dog to a wealthy princess of the establishment.
A 1-2-3, a that's bull", Benny said.
Ever since the cat took up the fiddle.
That cow's been.
Jumpy.
She's had trouble with her milk and that moon ever since.
Maybe it's a female thing.
Cause who'd want to leave cyberland anyway?
Walls ain't so bad.
The dish and spoon for instance.
They were down on their luck.
Knocked on my doghouse door.
I said -- not in my backyard, utensils.
The only way out.
Is up.
A leap of faith still thirsty?
Parched.
Have some milk.
I lowered myself beneath her swollen udder and sucked the sweetest milk I'd ever tasted.
Climb on board as a harvest moon rose over cyberland, we reared back and sprang into a gallop.
Leaping out of orbit, I awoke singing.
Leap of faith leap of faith leap of faith leap of faith only thing to do leap of faith leap of faith only thing to do is jump leap of faith leap of faith only thing to do is jump leap of faith leap of faith over the moon leap of faith leap of faith only thing to do is jump leap of faith leap of faith over the moon leap of faith leap of faith over the moon over the moooooooo moooooooo moooooooo moo with me.

Your new boyfriend doesn't know about us there's nothing to know don't you think that we should discuss it was three months ago And Roger, the unofficial bard of Bohemia, will attempt to write a bittersweet, evocative love song.
That doesn't remind us of Musetta's waltz.
Angel dumott schunard takes her rightful place as first lady, queen of all she surveys, and beacon of hope in these darkest of days.

They've padlocked.
Your building.
And they're rioting on avenue B Benny called the cops.

They don't know what they're doing the cops are sweeping the lot But no one's leaving.
They're sitting there, mooing!

Viva la vie boheme new year's Eve, 1991.
Four of my best friends have been diagnosed with HIV.
This could be the year we this could be the year we lose one of them.
This could be the year we lose them all.
Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes moments so dear five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes how do you measure measure a year The holidays were really hard to get through.
I just got some really discouraging news.
I don't know how I'm gonna -- hey, just take it day by day, hour by hour.
Even minute by minute.
In daylights in sunsets in midnights in cups of coffee in inches in miles in laughter in strife five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes how do you measure a year in the life how about love how about love how about love measure in love seasons of love Measure in love seasons of love five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred journeys to plan five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes How do you measure the life of a woman or a man in truths that she learned or in times that he cried in bridges he b*rned or the way that she d*ed it's time now to sing out the story never ends let's celebrate remember a year in the life of friends remember the love remember the love remember the love measure in love measure your life in love seasons of love seasons of love seasons of love seasons of love seasons of love seasons of love It's been exactly one week since Roger met Mimi, angel met Collins, Maureen inadvertently started a massive riot of which I happened to get some amazing footage, by the way and Joanne dumped Maureen.
Oh, and Benny locked us out of our building.
It's still winter it's still cold and so tonight in honor of the one week anniversary of this auspicious occasion we celebrate the only way we know how We try to break back in.
Happy new year.
How long til next year?
Three and a half minutes.
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 cr*ck 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 Coast is clear.
You're supposed to be working.
That's for midnight.
Where are they?
There isn't much time.
Maybe they're dressing.
I mean what does one wear that's apropos for a party, that's also a crime?
Chips, anyone?
You can take the girl out of Jersey but you can't take the Jersey out of the girl.
My riot got you on TV, I deserve a royalty.
Be nice you two or no god awful champagne.
Don't mind if I do no luck?
Bolted, plywood, padlocked with a chain.
A total dead end.
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 be good give me one more chance.
And I'll do what I should.
I'll kiss your doc martens.
Let me kiss your doc martens.
Do everything you wish I would.
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 -- rope?
We can hoist a line -- to a fire escape-- in the back, we'll tie off at -- there's a bench!
I can't take them as chums.
Start hoisting, wench.
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.
Bond, James Bond.
And p*ssy galore.
In person.
p*ssy, you came prepared!
I was a boy scout once.
And a brownie, 'til some brat got scared.
Aha!
Moneypenny, my martini!
Will bad champagne do?
That's shaken, not stirred.
p*ssy, the bolts.
Just say the word two minutes left to execute our plan.
Where's everyone else?
Playing spider-man.
Because while we were locked out, Benny had had the power turned back on.
Mark walks to the phone, presses a button.
Mark Mark are you there are you there are you screening your calls it's mom we're all impressed that the riot footage made the nightly news and your father says mazel tov honey.
Call him love, mom Alexi darling Alexi darling from buzzline.
That trashy tabloid news show?
What do they want with me?
Your footage of the riots a-one.
Feature segment network deal time.
I'm sending you a contract.
Ker-ching, ker-ching.
Marky give us a call, 970-4301 or at home try 863-6754.
Or my cellphone at 919-763-0090 or you can e-mail me at -- I think we need an agent!
We?
That's selling out.
But it's nice to dream yeah, it's network TV.
And it's all thanks to me somehow I think I smell the whiff of a scheme.
Me too.
We can plan another protest.
We?
This time you can sh**t from the start.
You'll direct, starring me!
Open sesame!
Happy new year!
Happy new year!
I see that you've beaten me to the punch how'd you know we'd be here?
I had a hunch.
You're not mad?
I'm here to end this w*r.
It's a shame you went and destroyed the door.
Why all the sudden the big about face?
The credit is yours you made a good case.
What case?
Mimi came to see me.
And she had much to say.
That's not how you put it at all yesterday.
I couldn't stop thinking.
About the whole mess.
Mark, you'll want to get this on film?
I guess.
I regret the unlucky circumstances of the past seven days.
Circumstance?
You padlocked our door.
And it's with great pleasure on behalf of cyberarts that I hand you this key.
I had no juice in my battery.
Reshoot.
I see, this is a photo opportunity.
The benevolent god ushers the poor artists back to their flat.
Were you planning to take down the barbed wire from the lot?
And let those people back in?
Anything but that!
Mimi, since your ways are so seductive.
You came on to me!
Persuade him not to be so counterproductive.
Liar!
Why not tell them what you wore to my place?
I was on my way to work -- black leather and lace!
My desk was a mess.
I think I'm still sore.
Cause I kicked him.
And told him I wasn't his whore!
Does your boyfriend know.
Who your last boyfriend was?
I'm not her boyfriend I don't care what she does people!
Is this any way to start a new year?
Have compassion.
Benny just lost his cat my dog, but I appreciate that.
My cat had a fall and I went through hell.
It's like losing a -- how did you know that she fell?
Champagne?
Don't mind if I do.
To dogs.
No Benny -- to you!
Let's make a resolution.
I'll drink to that.
Let's always stay friends.
Tho' we may have our disputes.
This family tree's got deep roots friendship is thicker than blood.
That depends that a sh*t at me?
Yeah, it was.
Depends on true devotion.
Depends on love.
Depends on not denying emotion.
Perhaps.
It's gonna be a happy new year.
I guess.
It's gonna be a happy new year.
You're right.
It's gonna be a happy new year.
I'm sorry.
Coming?
In a minute.
I'm fine.
Go.
Well, well, well.
What have we here?
It's gonna be a happy new year.
Valentine's day, 1992.
I do not have a date.
Or a job.
Alexi darling keeps calling about the Buzzline gig.
I keep saying no.
I still have a soul.
As for my ex, she is, as far as I know, back with her ex.
I said once more from the top.
I said no.
-- But maybe check in on that again tomorrow.
You cannot just stand there and moo again.
You sh**t down every single one of my ideas.
You've been planning this protest for a month and you have nothing.
I have the groundhog thing.
You, dressed as a cyber groundhog to protest the cyberarts groundbreaking?
Less than brilliant.
That's it, miss Ivy league.
What does Ivy league have to do with anything?
Ever since new year's I have been on my best behavior.
I let you direct.
I didn't pierce my nipples because it grossed you out.
I didn't stay and dance at Pandoras box that night, a 'cause you wanted to go home.
You were flirting with that woman in rubber.
Joanne.

Angel has spent most of the year in the hospital, with Collins always at her side.
Roger's still trying to write that song.
But now he's usually working at Mimi's.
Maureen and Joanne are officially broken up.
It seems Mimi and Roger are not far behind.
Sorry.
Sorry I'm late.
Sorry.
Where were you?
Are you alright?
I'm fine, don't worry about me.
How's Benny?
I wasn't with Benny.
Of course not.
I'm going back to my place.
Wait.
I should tell you.
I should -- never mind.
Yeah, never mind.

So we thank you, dear angel, for lighting our way with style and grace and love.
She pulled me aside one night to talk legal advice.
Not for her; For everyone in the east village.
Squatters, child protective services, medical insurance.
She wanted to help.
And she always did.
Angel was one of my closest friends.
It's right that it's Halloween, because it was her favorite holiday.
I knew we'd hit it off the moment we met.
Some skinhead was bothering her, and she said she was more of a man than he'd ever be and more of a woman than he'd ever get.
And then there was the time he-- she-- walked up to this group of tourists.
And they were petrified because, a - they were obviously lost and B - had probably never spoken to a person like her before in their lives.
But she offered to take a picture with them.
And then she said she'd help 'em find the Statue of Liberty.
So much more original than any of us.
You'd find an old tablecloth on the street and make a dress and next year, sure enough, they'd be selling them at Saks.
You always said how lucky you were that we were all friends but it was us, baby, who were the lucky ones.
But it was us, baby, who were the lucky ones.
Live in my house I'll be your shelter live in my house I'll be your shelter just pay me back with one thousand kisses just pay me back with one thousand kisses be my lover and I'll cover you be my lover and I'll cover you open your door I'll be your tenant don't got much baggage to lay at your feet but sweet kisses I've got to spare I'll be there and I'll cover you I think they meant it when they said you can't buy love now I know you can rent it a new lease you are, my love on life all my life I've longed to discover something as true as this is so with a thousand five hundred sweet kisses if you're cold twenty-five thousand I'll cover you and you're lonely six-hundred minutes with a thousand five hundred sweet kisses you've got one twenty-five thousand I'll cover you nickel only moments so dear with a thousand five hundred sweet kisses when you're worn out twenty-five thousand I'll cover you and tired six-hundred minutes With a thousand five hundred sweet kisses twenty-five thousand when your heart has expired oh lover I'll cover you yeah-ah-ah-ah oh lover I'll cover you five hundred twenty-five thousand Six hundred minutes five hundred twenty-five thousand seasons of love Thousand seasons of love Thousand seasons of love Hi.
Is this Alexi darling?
Hi.
Mark Cohen.
Yes, I'm still alive.
Yeah.
I'd like to come work for you guys.
Today?
Today's not great.
I'm at my friend's -- twenty minutes?
Okay.
I'll be there.
Yeah.
Happy Halloween to you too.
how did we get here?
How the hell -- how did I get here?
How the hell -- Christmas.
Christmas Eve last year, how could a night so frozen be so scalding hot?
how can a morning this mild be so raw?
Why are entire years strewn on the cutting room floor of memory when single frames from one magic night forever flicker in closeup on the 3D IMAX of my mind that's poetic.
That's pathetic.
why did Mimi knock on Roger's door and Collins choose that phone booth back where angel set up her drums why did Maureen's equipment break down why am I the witness and when I capture it on film will it mean that it's the end and I'm alone I took that job at Buzzline.
It's true you sold your guitar and bought a car?
It's true I'm leaving now for Santa Fe it's true you're with this yuppie scum?
You said you'd never speak to him again Not now.
who said that you have any say in who she says things to at all?
Yeah.
who said that you should stick your nose in other people's -- Who said I was talking to you?
We used to have this fight each night Calm down.
she'd never admit I existed everyone please.
he was the same way he was always "run away, hit the road, don't commit" you're full of it Mimi -- she's in denial he's in denial didn't give an inch guys.
when I gave a mile come on.
I gave a mile gave a mile to who?
come on guys chill.
I'd be happy to die for a taste of what angel had someone to live for unafraid to say I love you all your words are nice Mimi but love's not a three way street you'll never share real love until you love your self I should know you all said you'd be cool today so please for my sake -- I can't believe she's gone I can't believe you're going I can't believe this family will die angel helped us believe in love I can't believe you disagree I can't believe this is goodbye I missed you so much.
I missed you.
Ow.
Calm down, Maureen.
Calm down, Maureen?
Guys.
Thomas B.
Collins?
Coming.
I hear there are great restaurants out west some of the best.
How could she?
how could you let her go?
You just don't know how could we lose angel?
Maybe you'll see why when you stop escaping your pain at least now if you try angel's death won't be in vain her death is in vain are you insane?
There's so much to care about there's me there's Mimi Mimi's got her baggage too so do you who are you to tell me what I know, what to do a friend but who, Mark, are you?
"Mark has got his work" they say "Mark lives for his work" and "Mark's in love with his work" important work, like Buzzline.
Keep hiding in your work.
Hiding?
From what?
facing your failure facing your loneliness facing the fact you live a lie yes, you live a lie tell you why you're always preaching not to be numb when that's how you thrive you say you know how we all feel, but you really detach from feeling alive perhaps it's because I'm the one of us to survive poor baby.
Mimi still loves Roger is Roger really jealous or afraid that Mimi's weak Mimi did look pale Mimi's gotten thin Mimi's running out of time Roger's running out the door -- no more.
Oh no.
I've gotta go I'll call.
I hate the fall.
you heard?
Every word you don't want baggage without lifetime guarantees you don't want to watch me die?
I just came to say goodbye, love goodbye, love came to say goodbye, love, goodbye just to came to say glory goodbye love one blaze of goodbye love glory goodbye love, goodbye I have to find please don't touch me understand I'm scared I need to go away I know a place, a clinic.
A rehab.
I could never -- I'll pay.
Goodbye love goodbye love came to say goodbye, love, goodbye just came to say goodbye love just came to say goodbye love goodbye love goodbye love hello disease off the premises now.?
We don't give handouts here.
what happened to "rest in peace?" off the premises, q*eer.
Hey.
Tell the priest I'll be right in to take care of it.
And watch your mouth.
You're talking to my friend.
Must be nice to have money.
Sure is.
I think it only fair to tell you, you just paid for the funeral of the person who k*lled your dog.
I know.
I always hated that dog.
Let's pay him off, then we'll all get drunk.
Can't.
I have a business meeting.
Punk.
Let's go.
Well.
I guess I'm off to sell my soul.
"Mark Cohen, for Buzzline.
Coming up, devil worshiping welfare queens are coming to take your jobs." Oh my god, what am I doing?
Don't breathe too deep don't think all day dive into work drive the other way that drip of hurt that pint of shame goes away just play the game you're living in America at the end of the millennium you're living in America leave your conscience at the tone and when you're living in America at the end of the millennium you're what you own the filmmaker cannot see and the songwriter cannot hear yet I see Mimi everywhere angel's voice is in my ear just tighten those shoulders just clench your jaw til you frown just don't let go or you may drown you're living in America at the end of the millennium you're living in America where it's like the twilight zone and when you're living in America at the end of the millennium you're what you own so I own not a notion I escape and ape content I don't own emotion, I rent what was it about that night what was it about that night connection in an isolating age for once the shadows gave way to light for once the shadows gave way to light for once I didn't disengage angel, Mimi I hear you I see you I hear it I see it I see it I hear it I see it I hear it my film!

Fade in on Mark who's still in the dark but he's got great footage which he's cut together to screen tonight for an audience of one.
A non-paying audience of one.
This is gonna be good.
You don't have to say that.
I mean it.
I'm glad you're working on this.
I'm glad you're home.
Then again, maybe we won't screen it tonight.
I can fix it.
I just need to figure out how to find the flashlight in the dark.
Without a flashlight.
Man, what do you two do when I'm not here?
I had a little hunch.
You could use a little flow.
Tutoring again?
Negative.
Back at N.Y.U.?
No, no, no -- I rewired the ATM at the food emporium.
To provide an honorarium to anyone with the code.
The code 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 restaurant in ahh, ahh Santa Fe Santa Fe with a private corner banquette ahh, ahh in the back in the back we'll make it yet ahh, ahh we'll somehow get to Santa Fe Santa Fe but you'd miss New York before you could unpack ohh Mark!

It's Mimi - we can't get her up the stairs.
No!
she was huddled in the park in the dark and she was freezing and begged to see you let's get her inside.
Oh god.
Roger -- got a light I know you you're shivering She's been living on the street.
We need some heat.
I'm shivering.
We can buy some wood, and something to eat.
I'm afraid she needs more than heat I heard that.
Collins will call for a doctor, honey don't waste your money on Mimi, me, me Hello?

Cold, cold -- would you light my candle yes.

leaving me alone with my guitar hold on there's something you should hear it isn't much but it took all year your eyes as we said our goodbyes can't get them out of my mind and I find I can't hide from your eyes the ones that took me by surprise the night you came into my life where there's moonlight I see your eyes how'd I let you slip away when I'm longing so to hold you now I'd die for one more day 'cause there's something I should have told you yes, there's something I should have told you when I looked into your eyes why does distance make us wise?
You were the song all along and before the song dies I should tell you I should tell you I have always loved you you can see it in my eyes I have always loved you you can see it in my eyes Mimi!
