| | | Artist: | Various Artists |
| | Album: | Rent Soundtrack, Cast Recording | | Track: | Happy New Year | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 224 | | | | Lyrics: | New Year's Eve. The scene opens on the street outside the
apartment. One table, lying on its
end, serves as the door.)
MARK (carrying mock door)
Pan to the padlocked door. New
Year's Rocking Eve. The
breaking-back-into-the-building party...
(ROGER and MIMI try
in vain to pry a padlock from the door. They
appear to be happy.)
MIMI
How long
till next year?
ROGER
Three and 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 enters the scene.)
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 enters wearing a skintight "cat
burgular" suit and carrying
a bag of potato chips.)
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
takes out a cellular phone and dials.)
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
(on cellular
phone)
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 enters)
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
(JOANNE whips
out...)
MARK & JOANNE
Rope!
MARK (pointing off)
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
(All three cross upstage and attempt
to throw up the length of rope
over a plank. ROGER and MIMI are laughing and holding each
other.)
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 enters
with ANGEL. COLLINS, dressed in black and
wearing sunglasses, carries a bottle of champagne.
ANGEL wears a
plastic dress and blonde wig: a small blowtorch is slung over
his
shoulder.)
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 (to
MIMI)
Aha! Moneypenny -- my martini!
MIMI
Will bad champagne
do?
ROGER
That's shaken -- not stirred
COLLINS
Pussy -- the
bolts
(COLLINS takes a swig of champagne as ANGEL grabs
the
blowtorch.)
ANGEL
Just say the word!
(ANGEL turns on the
blowtorch.)
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 | | | |
