Finale

Lyrics

[MARK] December 24th, 9 PM Eastern standard time I can't believe a year went by so fast, ha Now we measure how that year has passed Turn the projector on First shot Roger Tuning his 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] 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 For an audience of one [MARK] A non-paying audience of one [ROGER] This is gonna be really good man [MARK] You don't have to say that [ROGER] No I mean it I'm really glad you're working on this [MARK] I'm glad you're home [The projector blows a fuse.] [ROGER (spokeagain maybe we won't screen it tonight [MARK] I can fix this I just have to figure out how to find a flashlight in the dark Without a flashlight [COLLINS] What do you two do when I'm not here? 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 [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 [COLLINS] Let's open up a restaurant in Santa Fe [MARK & ROGER] Santa Fe [COLLINS] With a private corner banquette [COLLINS, MARK, & ROGER] In the back [COLLINS] We'll make it yet, we'll somehow get to Santa Fe [MARK & ROGER] Santa Fe [ROGER] But you'd miss New York before you could unpack [COLLINS, MARK, & ROGER] Ohh [MAUREEN] Mark! Roger! Anyone - help! [MARK] Maureen? [JOANNE] 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 see you [COLLINS] Let's get her inside [ROGER] Oh, God [MARK] Roger [They lay her down on carefully on the table, where Roger is already sitting.] [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. Oh god, find a- [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 - [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? [Mimi coughs.] Hold on There's something you should hear It isn't much but it took all year
