CHRISTINE:
Think of me, think of me fondly,
when we've said goodbye.
Remember me once in a while -
please promise me you'll try.
When you find that, once again, you long
to take your heart back and be free -
if you ever find a moment,
spare a thought for me

We never said our love was evergreen,
or as unchanging as the sea -
but if you can still remember
stop and think of me . . .

Think of all the things
we've shared and seen -
don't think about the way things
might have been . . .

Think of me, think of me waking,
silent and resigned.
Imagine me, trying too hard
to put you from my mind.
Recall those days
look back on all those times,
think of the things we'll never do -
there will never be a day,
when I won't think of you . . .

RAOUL:
Can it be? Can it be Christine?
Bravo!
Long ago, it seems so long ago
How young and innocent we were...
She may not remember me,
but I remember her...

CHRISTINE
Flowers fades,
The fruits of summer fade,
They have their seasons, so do we
but please promise me, that sometimes
you will think of me!

PHANTOM
Bravi, bravi, bravissimi

MEG
Christine, Christine

PHANTOM
Christine

MEG
Where in the world have you been hiding
Really, you were perfect
I only wish I knew your secret
Who is your great tutor

CHRISTINE
Meg
When your mother brought me here to live
Whenever I�d come down here alone
To light a candle for my father
A voice from above
And in my dreams
He was always there
You see, when my father lay dying
He told me I will be protected by an angel
An angel of music

MEG
Christine, do you believe?
Do you think the spirit of your father is coaching you?

CHRISTINE
who else, meg?
Father once spoke of an angel
I used to dream he'd appear
Now as I sing, I can sense him
And I know he's here
Here in this room he calls me softly
Somewhere inside hiding
Somehow I know he's always with me
He, the unseen genius

MEG
Christine, you must have been dreaming
Stories like this can't come true
Christine, you are talking in riddles
And it's not like you

CHRISTINE
Angel of Music
Guide and guardian
Grant to me your glory

MEG
Who is this angel
This...

BOTH
Angel of Music
Hide no longer
Secret and strange angel

CHRISTINE
He's with me, even now

MEG
Your hands are cold

CHRISTINE
All around me

MEG
Your face, Christine, is white

CHRISTINE
It frightens me

MEG
Don't be frightened

 

[AmandaSparks730]

PHANTOM'S VOICE
Insolent boy!
This slave of fashion
basking in your glory!

Ignorant fool!
This brave young suitor,
sharing in my triumph!

CHRISTINE
Angel, I hear you.
Speak - I listen . . .
stay by my side,
guide me.

Angel, my soul was weak -
forgive me . . .
enter at last,
Master.

PHANTOM'S VOICE
Flattering child, you shall know me,
see why in shadow I hide.

Look at your face in the mirror -
I am there inside!


CHRISTINE
Angel of Music,
Guide and guardian,
Grant to me your
glory.

Angel of Music,
Hide no longer.
Come to me, strange
Angel...

PHANTOM'S VOICE
I am your Angel of Music...
Come to me: Angel of Music ...

RAOUL
Who is that voice?
Who's in there?

PHANTOM'S VOICE
I am your Angel of Music...

RAOUL
Christine.
Christine!

PHANTOM'S VOICE
Come to me: Angel of Music ......

 

[DisGirlAllie]

We can feel a change is coming
Like a kiss upon a tide
breathing life into every heart
the hopeful kind of times
we'll walk this road together
though at times we felt alone
in the struggle to leave dissent
we find the strength one yet to find

You carry the courage, carry the history
but all are gone before you
wherever you come from
born of one dream finds you, standing here

And you know that you can make it
you've got the whole world in your hands
and you spend a lifetime working for this moment
and you are shining
you're all that you wanted to be

When you're airborne and free
at peace with gravity
high above everyone can see
the spirit of human ecology
how your flame keeps burning
when you leave all doubt behind
it's a giant leap for mankind
at peace we all shine

You carry the courage, carry the history
but all are gone before you
wherever you come from
born of one dream finds you, standing here

And you know that you can make it
you've got the whole world in your hands
cause you spend your lifetime working for this moment
(you are shining)
and you are shining
(you are shining)
you are all that you wanted to be
(you are shining)
and you are shining
you're all that you wanted to be

CHRISTINE
In sleep he sang to me
In dreams he came
That voice that calls to me and speaks my name
And do I dream again for now I find
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside my mind

PHANTOM
Sing once again with me
Our strange duet
My power over you grows stronger yet
And though you turn from me to glance behind
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside your mind

CHRISTINE
Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear

PHANTOM
It's me they hear...


BOTH
Your/My spirit and my/your voice in one combined
The Phantom of the Opera is there
Inside my/your mind

BACKGROUND
He�s there, the phantom of the opera!

CHRISTINE
He�s there, the phantom of the opera

PHANTOM
Sing, my Angel of Music
Sing, my Angel
Sing for me
Sing, my Angel!
Sing for me!

I have brought you
to the seat of sweet music's throne
to this kingdom where all must pay homage to music
music
You have come here,
for one purpose, and one alone
Since the moment I first heard you sing,
I have needed you with me,
to serve me, to sing,
for my music...
my music...

 

[AmandaSparks730]

RAOUL
Why have you brought me here?

CHRISTINE
Can�t go back there!

RAOUL
We must return!

CHRISTINE
He'll kill you!
His eyes will find us there!

RAOUL
Christine, don't say that.
CHRISTINE
Those eyes that burn!

RAOUL
Don't even think it

CHRISTINE
And if he has to kill a thousand men

RAOUL
Forget this waking nightmare...

CHRISTINE
The Phantom of the Opera will kill...

RAOUL
This phantom is a fable
Believe me

CHRISTINE
...and kill again!

RAOUL
There is no Phantom of the Opera

BOTH
My God, who is this man...

CHRISTINE
...who hunts to kill?

RAOUL
...this mask of death?

CHRISTINE
I can't escape from him...

RAOUL
Whose is this voice you hear...

CHRISTINE
...I never will!

RAOUL
...with every breath?

BOTH
And in this labyrinth,
where night is blind
the Phantom of the Opera is here/there
inside my/your mind...

RAOUL
There is no Phantom of the Opera...

CHRISTINE
Raoul, I've been there
to his world of unending night
To a world with the daylight dissolves into darkness...
darkness...
Raoul, I've seen him!
Can I ever forget that sight?
Can I ever escape from that face?
So distorted, deformed, it was hardly a face
in that darkness...
darkness...
But his voice filled my spirit
with a strange, sweet sound...
In that night there was music in my mind...
And through music my soul began to soar!
And I heard as I'd never heard before...

RAOUL
What you heard was a dream and nothing more...

CHRISTINE
Yet in his eyes
all the sadness of the world
Those pleading eyes,
that both threaten and adore

RAOUL
Christine...
Christine...

PHANTOM
Christine...

CHRISTINE
(whisper) What was that?

 

[AmandaSparks730]

DON JUAN (PHANTOM)
You have come here
in pursuit of
your deepest urge,
in pursuit of
that wish,
which till now
has been silent,
silent . . .

I have brought you,
that our passions
may fuse and merge -
in your mind
you've already
succumbed to me
dropped all defences
completely succumbed to me -
now you are here with me:
no second thoughts,
you've decided,
decided . . .

Past the point
of no return -
no backward glances:
our games of make believe
are at an end . . .
Past all thought
of "if" or "when" -
no use resisting:
abandon thought,
and let the dream
descend . . .

What raging fire
shall flood the soul?
What rich desire
unlocks its door?
What sweet seduction
lies before
us . . .?

Past the point
of no return,
the final threshold -
what warm,
unspoken secrets
will we learn?
Beyond the point
of no return . . .

AMINTA (CHRISTINE)
You have brought me
to that moment
where words run dry,
to that moment
where speech
disappears
into silence,
silence . . .

I have come here,
hardly knowing
the reason why . . .
In my mind,
I've already
imagined our
bodies entwining
defenceless and silent -
and now I am
here with you:
no second thoughts,


I've decided,
decided . . .

Past the point
of no return -
no going back now:
our passion-play
has now, at last,
begun . . .
Past all thought
of right or wrong -
one final question:
how long should we
two wait, before
we're one . . .?

When will the blood
begin to race
the sleeping bud
burst into bloom?
When will the flames,
at last, consume
us . . .?

BOTH
Past the point
of no return
the final threshold -
the bridge
is crossed, so stand
and watch it burn . . .
We've passed the point
of no return . . .

 

[AmandaSparks730]

You were once my one companion
You were all that mattered
You were once a friend and father
Then my world was shattered

Wishing you were somehow here agains
Wishing you were somehow near
Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed
Somehow you would be here

Wishing I could here your voice again
Knowing that I never would
Dreaming of you helped me to do
All that you dreamed I could

Passing bells and sculpted angels, cold and monumental
Seem for you the wrong companion, you were warm and gentle

Too many years
Fighting back tears
Why can�t the past just die!

Wishing you were here again
Knowing we must say goodbye

Try to forgive
Teach me to live
Give me the strength to try!

No more memories
No more silent tears
No more gazing across the wasted years

Help me say goodbye
Help me say goodbye!

The City is Ouuuur Ouuuur Ouuuurs
The City is Ouuuur Ouuuur Ouuuurs

Rolling past graffiti walls
Billboards lighting up the block
Everyone of us on a mission (Oh yeah)

Gotta whole crew by my side
Cars (beep beep) when they pass us by
Be ready to get down in business (mmm hmmm)

We pull up
Open the door
All the girls
Scream there they are

It's packed from wall to wall and
Everybody is calling

Here we come
It's almost time
Feel the rush
Now, hit the lights

We're gonna get it started

Because the night is young
The light is out the door
Today was crazy but
Tonight the city's ours

Live it up
Until the morning comes
Today was crazy but tonight

The City is Ouuuur Ouuuur Ouuuurs
The City is Ouuuur Ouuuur Ouuuurs

I'm on my look how we roll
Wasn't letting me but don't go
Everybody said we were dreaming (oh ooooh)

Gonna get it right. Yah, we told you
Still far but were that much closer
And there ain't no way they were leaving (oh noooo)

We pull up
Open the door
All the girls
Scream there they are

It's packed from wall to wall and
Everybody is calling

Here we come
It's almost time
Feel the rush
Now, hit the lights

We're gonna get it started (get it started)

Because the night is young
The light is out the door
Today was crazy but
Tonight the city's ours

Live it up
Until the morning comes
Today was crazy but tonight

The City is Ouuuur Ouuuur Ouuuurs
The City is Ouuuur Ouuuur Ouuuurs

You gotta believe
It's destiny calling
So run off tonight
We'll rock the whole place

Now, it's hard as it seems
I know if you want it
Then it's gonna happen somehow

Because the night is young
The light is out the door
Today was crazy but
Tonight the city's ours

Live it up
Until the morning comes
Today was crazy but tonight

Because the night is young
The light is out the door
Today was crazy but
Tonight the city's ours

Live it up
Until the morning comes
Today was crazy but tonight

The City is Ouuuur Ouuuur Ouuuurs
The City is Ouuuur Ouuuur Ouuuurs
The City is Ouuuur Ouuuur Ouuuurs
The City is Ouuuur Ouuuur Ouuuurs
The City is Ours

The PHANTOM emerges from behind the cross)
PHANTOM (very soft and enticing)
Wandering child . . .
So lost . . .
So helpless . . .
Yearning for my
Guidance . . .

(Bewildered, CHRISTINE looks up, and murmurs
breathlessly):

CHRISTINE
Angel . . . or father . . .
Friend . . . or
Phantom . . . ?
Who is it there,
Staring . . . ?

PHANTOM (more and more hypnotic)
Have you forgotten your Angel . . .?

CHRISTINE
Angel . . . oh, speak . . .
What endless longings
Echo in this whisper . . .!

(RAOUL appears in the shadows and watches for a moment transfixed)

PHANTOM (now drawing CHRISTINE towards him)
Too long you've wandered in winter . . .
RAOUL (to himself a murmur)
Once again
She is his . . .

PHANTOM
Far from my far-reaching gaze . . .

RAOUL
Once again she returns . . .

CHRISTINE (increasingly mesmerized)
Wildly my mind beats against you . . .

PHANTOM
You resist . . .

PHANTOM/CHRISTINE
Yet your/the soul
Obeys . . .

RAOUL
. . . to the arms
Of her angel . . .
Angel or demon . . .
Still he calls her . . .
Luring her back, from the grave . . .
Angel or dark seducer . . .?
Who are you, strange
Angel . . .?

PHANTOM
Angel of Music!
You denied me/I denied you
Turning from true beauty . . .
Angel of Music!
Do not shun me/My protector . . .
Come to your strange
Angel . . .

CHRISTINE
Angel of Music!

(CHRISTINE moves towards the figure of the
PHANTOM)

PHANTOM (beckoning her)
I am your Angel of Music . . .
Come to me: Angel of Music . . .

RAOUL (suddenly calling out)
Angel of darkness!
Cease this torment!

 

[AmandaSparks730]

CHRISTINE:
If you don't stop,
I'll go mad!
Raoul, I'm frightened -
don't make me do this ...
Raoul, it scares me -
don't put me through this
ordeal by fire ...
he'll take me, I know ...
we'll be parted for ever ...
he won't let me go ...
What I once used to dream
I now dread ...
if he finds me, it won't
ever end ...
and he'll always be there,
singing songs in my head ...
he'll always be there,
singing songs in my head ...

CARLOTTA:
She's mad ...

RAOUL:
You said yourself
he was nothing
but a man ...
Yet while he lives,
he will haunt us
till we're dead ...

CHRISTINE:
Twisted every way,
what answer can I give?
Am I to risk my life,
to win the chance to live?
Can I betray the man
who once inspired my voice?
Do I become his prey?
Do I have any choice?
He kills without a thought,
he murders all that's good . . .
I know I can't refuse
and yet, I wish I could . . .
Oh God - if I agree,
what horrors wait for me
in this, the Phantom's opera . . .?

RAOUL:
Christine, Christine,
don't think that I don't care -
but every hope
and every prayer
rests on you now . . .

 

[AmandaSparks730]

PHANTOM:
Down once more to the dungeon of my black despair!
Down we plunge to the prison of my mind!
Down that path into darkness deep as hell!
Why, you ask, was I bound and chained in this cold and dismal place?
Not for any mortal sin, but the wickedness of my abhorrent face!

CHORUS:
Track down this murderer!
He must be found!
Track down this murderer!
He must be found!

PHANTOM:
Hounded out by everyone!
Met with hatred everywhere!
No kind word from anyone!
No compassion anywhere!
Christine, Christine ...
Why, why ...?

MADAME GIRY:
Your hand at the level of your eyes!
... at the level of your eyes ...
This is as far as I dare go.

CHRISTINE:
Have you gorged yourself at last, in your lust for blood?
Am I now to be prey to your
lust for flesh?

PHANTOM:
That fate, which condemns me to wallow in blood has also denied me
the joys of the flesh ...
this face - the infection
which poisons our love ...
This face, which earned a mother's fear and loathing ...
A mask, my first unfeeling scrap of clothing ...
Pity comes too late - turn around
and face your fate: an eternity of this before your eyes!

CHRISTINE:
This haunted face holds no horror for me now ...
It's in your soul that the true distortion lies ...

PHANTOM:
Wait! I think, my dear, we have a guest!

CHRISTINE:
Raoul!

PHANTOM:
Sir, this is indeed an unparalleled delight!
I had rather hoped that you would come.
And now my wish comes true - you have truly made my night!

RAOUL:
Free her!
Do what you like only free her!
Have you no pity?

PHANTOM:
Your lover makes a passionate plea!

CHRISTINE:
Please Raoul, it's useless!

RAOUL:
I love her!
Does that mean nothing?
I love her!
Show some compassion ...

PHANTOM:
The world showed no compassion to me!

RAOUL:
Christine ...
Christine ...Let me see her ...

PHANTOM:
Be my guest, sir ...
Monsieur, I bid you welcome!
Did you think that
I would harm her?
Why should I make her pay for the sins which are yours?
Order your fine horses now!
Raise up your hand to the level of your eyes!
Nothing can save you now - except perhaps Christine ...
Start a new life with me -
Buy his freedom with your love!
Refuse me, and you send your lover to his death!
This is the choice -
This is the point of no return!

CHRISTINE:
The tears I might have shed for your dark fate grow cold, and turn to tears of hate!

RAOUL:
Christine, forgive me please forgive me ...
I did it all for you, and all for nothing ...

CHRISTINE:
Farewell my fallen idol and false friend ...
We had such hopes and now
Those hopes are shattered!

PHANTOM:
Too late for turning back, too late for prayers and useless pity!

RAOUL:
Say you love him and my life is over

PHANTOM:
All hope of cries for help; no point in fighting!

RAOUL/PHANTOM:
For either way you choose, he has to win/you cannot win!

PHANTOM:
So, do you end your days with me,
or do you send him to his grave?

RAOUL:
Why make her lie to you, to save me?

CHRISTINE:
Angel of Music ...

PHANTOM:
Past the point of no return -

RAOUL:
For pity's sake,
Christine, say no!

CHRISTINE:
...who deserves this?

PHANTOM:
... the final threshold...

RAOUL:
Don't throw your life away for my sake!

CHRISTINE:
When will you see reason ...?

PHANTOM:
His life is now the prize which you must earn!

RAOUL:
I fought so hard to free you ...

CHRISTINE:
Angel of Music ...

PHANTOM:
You've passed the point of no return ...

CHRISTINE:
... you deceived me.
I gave my mind blindly.

PHANTOM:
You try my patience - make your choice!

CHRISTINE:
Pitiful creature of darkness ...
What kind of life have you known ...?
God give me courage to show you you are not alone ...

CHORUS:
Track down this murderer
He must be found!...

PHANTOM:
Take her - forget me - forget all of this ...
Leave me alone - forget all you've seen ...
Go now - don't let them find you!
Take the boat - swear to me never to tell
The secrets you know of the angel in hell

CHORUS:
The Phantom of the Opera is there inside your mind!

PHANTOM:
Go now! Go now, and leave me!

Masquerade...
Paper faces on parade...
Masquerade...
Hide your face so the world will never find you...
Christine, I love you...

CHRISTINE:
Say you'll share with me, one love, one lifetime...

RAOUL:
Say the word and I will follow you...

CHRISTINE:
Share each day with me, each night, each morning...

PHANTOM:
You alone can make my song take flight -
it's over now, the music of the night!

[ROGER]
What'd you forget?

[MIMI]
Got a light?

[ROGER]
I know you? -- You're --
You're shivering

[MIMI]
It's nothing
They turned off my heat
And I'm just a little
Weak on my feet
Would you light my candle?
What are you staring at?

[ROGER]
Nothing
Your hair in the moonlight
You look familiar
Can you make it?

[MIMI]
Just haven't eaten much today
At least the room stopped spinning.
Anyway. What?

[ROGER]
Nothing
Your smile reminded me of --

[MIMI]
I always remind people of -- who is she?

[ROGER]
She died. Her name was April

[MIMI]
It's out again
Sorry about your friend
Would you light my candle?

[ROGER]Well --

[MIMI]
Yeah. Ow!

[ROGER]
Oh, the wax -- it's --

[MIMI]
Dripping! I like it -- between my --

[ROGER]
Fingers. I figured...
Oh, well. Goodnight.

It blew out again?

[MIMI]
No -- I think that I dropped my stash

[ROGER]
I know I've seen you out and about
When I used to go out
Your candle's out

[MIMI]

I'm illin' --
I had it when I walked in the door
It was pure --
Is it on the floor?

[ROGER]
The floor?

[MIMI]
They say I have the best *** below 14th street
Is it true?

[ROGER]
What?

[MIMI]
You're staring again.
[ROGER]
Oh no.
I mean you do -- have a nice --
I mean -- You look familiar

[MIMI]
Like your dead girlfriend?

[ROGER]
Only when you smile.
But I'm sure I've seen you somewhere else --

[MIMI]
Do you go to the Cat Scratch Club?
That's where I work - I dance

[ROGER]
Yes!
They used to tie you up --

[MIMI]
It's a living

[ROGER]
I didn't recognize you
Without the handcuffs

[MIMI]
We could light the candle
Oh won't you light the candle?

[ROGER]
Why don't you forget that stuff
You look like you're sixteen

[MIMI]
I'm nineteen -- but I'm old for my age
I'm just born to be bad

[ROGER]
I once was born to be bad
I used to shiver like that

[MIMI]
I have no heat -- I told you
[ROGER]
I used to sweat

[MIMI]
I got a cold

[ROGER]
Uh huh
I used to be a junkie

[MIMI]
But now and then I like to --

[ROGER]
Uh huh

[MIMI]
Feel good

[ROGER]
Here it -- um --

[Mimi]
What's that?

[ROGER]
It's a candy bar wrapper

[MIMI]
We could light the candle
What'd you do with my candle?

[ROGER]
That was my last match

[MIMI]
Our eyes'll adjust, thank God for the moon

[ROGER]
Maybe it's not the moon at all
I hear Spike Lee's shooting down the street

[MIMI]
Bah humbug ... Bah humbug

[ROGER]
Cold hands

[MIMI]
Yours too.
Big. Like my father's
You wanna dance?

[ROGER]
With you?

[MIMI]
No -- with my father

[ROGER]
I'm Roger

[MIMI]
They call me
They call me Mimi

[The lot. JOANNE is reexamining the cable connections for the umpteenth time.]

[MARK]

And so into the abyss...The lot. Where a small stage is
partially set up.

[JOANNE]

[playing with some wires]
"Line in"...
I went to Harvard for this?

[MARK]

Close on Mark's nose dive.

[JOANNE]

"Line out"...

[MARK]

Will he get out of here alive...?

[JOANNE notices MARK approaching.]

[JOANNE]

Mark?

[MARK]

Hi.

[JOANNE]

I told her not to call you

[MARK]

That's Maureen
But can I help since I'm here

[JOANNE]

I hired an engineer ...

[MARK]

Great!
Well, nice to have met you

[JOANNE]

Wait!
She's three hours late
The samples won't delay
But the cable --

[MARK]

There's another way
Say something -- anything

[JOANNE (into the mike)]

Test -- one, two three --

[MARK]

Anything but that

[JOANNE]

This is weird

[MARK]

It's weird

[JOANNE]

Very weird

[MARK]

****in' weird

[JOANNE]

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

[MARK]

Feel like going insane?
Got a fire in your brain?
And you're thinking of drinking gasoline?

[JOANNE]

As a matter of fact --

[MARK]

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

[JOANNE]

You're wrong

[MARK]

Your heart she is mangling

[JOANNE]

It's different with me

[MARK]

And you toss and you turn
'Cause her cold eyes can burn
Yet you yearn and you churn and rebound

[JOANNE]

I think I know what you mean

[BOTH]

The Tango Maureen

[MARK]

Has she ever pouted her lips
And called you 'Pookie'

[JOANNE]

Never

[MARK]

Have you ever doubted a kiss or two?

[JOANNE]

This is spooky
Did you swoon when she walked through the door?

[MARK]

Every time -- so be cautious

[JOANNE]

Did she moon over other boys --?

[MARK]

More than moon --

[JOANNE]

I'm getting nauseous
[They begin to dance, with MARK leading.]

[MARK]

Where'd you learn to tango?

[JOANNE]

With the French Ambassador's daughter in her dorm
room at Miss Porter's. And you?

[MARK]

With Nanette Himmelfarb. The Rabbi's daughter at the
Scarsdale Jewish Community Center.

[They switch, and JOANNE leads.]

It's hard to do this backwards.

[JOANNE]

You should try it in heels!
She cheated

[MARK]

She cheated

[JOANNE]

Maureen cheated

[MARK]

****in' cheated

[JOANNE]

I'm defeated
I should give up right now

[MARK]

Gotta look on the bright side
With all of your might

[JOANNE]

I'd fall for her still anyhow

[BOTH]

When you're dancing her dance
You don't stand a chance
Her grip of romance
Make you fall

[MARK]

So you think, 'Might as well'

[JOANNE]

"Dance a tango to hell"

[BOTH]

'At least I'll have tangoed at all'
The Tango Maureen
Gotta dance till 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
Till you're glum and you bum
And turn blue

[MARK]

Why do we love when she's mean?

[JOANNE]

And she can be so obscene

[MARK]

Try the mike

[JOANNE]

My Maureen (reverb: een, een, een...)

[MARK]

Patched

[JOANNE]

Thanks

[MARK]

You know -- I feel great now!

[JOANNE]

I feel lousy
[The pay phone rings. MARK hands it to JOANNE.]
Honey, we're... [pause] Pookie?!
You never call me Pookie...
Forget it, we're patched.

[She hangs up, looks at MARK.]

[BOTH]

The Tango Maureen!

MAUREEN:
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.

Out of the abyss walked a cow, Elsie.
I asked if she had anything to drink, she said,
"I'm forbidden to produce milk,
In Cyberland we only drink Diet Coke" (coke� coke� coke�)

She said,
"Only thing to do is jump over the moon.
They've closed everything real down,
Like barns and troughs and Performing Spaces,
And replaced it all with lies, and rules, and Virtual Life�
But there is a way out.

[BACK UP]
Leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith� [etc]
[continues in background]

Oo-oo-oo
Only thing to do is jump over the moon
[back ups stop]

I gotta get outta here!
It's like I'm being tied to the hood of
a yellow rental truck, bein' packed in with fertilizer and fuel oil, pushed over a cliff by a suicidal Mickey Mouse!
I gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta,
gotta, gotta find a way�
To jump over the moon.
Only thing to do is jump over the moon."

Then a little bulldog entered.
His name, we have learned, was Benny.
And although he once had principles, he abandoned them to live as a lapdog to a wealthy daughter of the revolution.

a-1, 2, 3,
"That's bull," he said,
"Ever since the cat took off with the fiddle that cow's been� jumpy.
The dish and the spoon were evicted from the table and eloped,
She's had trouble with the milk and the moon ever since - maybe it's a� female thing.

'Cause who'd wanna leave cyberland anyway - Walls ain't so bad.
The dish and the spoon, for instance, they're down on their luck, they come knockin' on my doghouse door,
and I said "Not in my backyard utensils, go back to china!" (bideebong)

"The only way out is up," Elsie whispered to me,
"A leap of faith
Still Thirsty?
Parched (parched� parched� parched�)
Have some milk�"
And I lowered myself beneath her, and held my mouth to her swollen udder, and sucked the sweetest milk I've ever tasted�

[slurping sounds]

"Climb on board!" She said.
And as the harvest moon rose over Cyberland, we reared back,
we sprang into a gallop, leaping, out of orbit; I awoke singing�

[BACK UP]
Leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith, leap of faith� [etc]
[continues in background]

Oo-oo-oo
Only thing to do�
Only think to do is jump�
Only thing to do is jump Over the moon�
Only thing to do is jump Over the moon�
Over the moon�
Over the�

MOOOOOOOO!!

[Maureen speaking]
Moo with me! Come on sir, moo with me! Moo! Mooo! MOOO! MOOOOOO!

Thank you!

[random mooing from the audience which escalates into pandemonium for the riot police]

 

[AmandaSparks730]

How did we get here? How the hell-pan left, close on the steeple of the church.
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 close up on the 3-D Imax of my mind.
Thats poetic- thats pathetic.
Why did Mimi knock on Roger's door?
And Collins choose that phone booth back where Angel set up his drums.
Why did Maureen's equiptment 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?

 

[AmandaSparks730]

Mimi:
It's true you sold your guitar and bought a car?
Roger:
It's true - I'm leaving now for Santa Fe, It's true you're with this yuppie scum.
Benny:
You said you'd never speak to him again
Mimi:
Not now
Maureen:
Who said you that you have any say in who she says things to at all?
Roger:
Yeah!
Joanne:
Who said that you should stick your nose in other people's...
Maureen:
Who said I was talking to you?
Joanne:
we used to have this fight each night
Mark:
Calm down
Joanne:
She'd never admit I existed
Mark:
Everyone please
Mimi:
He was the same way - he was always "run away - hit the road don't commit" you're full of ****
Joanne:
She's in denial
Mimi:
He's in denial
Joanne:
You gave an inch when i gave a mile
Mark:
Come on
Mimi:
I gave a mile
Roger:
Gave a mile to who?
Mark:
Come on guys chill!
Mimi & Joanne:
I'd be happy to die for a taste of what Angel had: someone to live for-unafraid to say i love you
Roger:
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
Collins:
You all said you'd be cool today so please for my sake...
I can't believe he's gone
I can't believe you're going
I can't believe this family must die
Angel helped us believe in love I can't believe you disagree
All:
I can't believe this is good bye
( Maureen and Joanne reconcile and go home. Collins returns to the funeral home. Mimi and Benny leave together. Roger and
Mark are left alone.)
Mark:
I hear there are great restaurants out west
Roger:
Some of the best, how could she?
Mark:
How could you let her go?
Roger:
You just don't know...how could we lose Angel?
Mark:
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
Roger:
His death is in vain
Mark:
Are you insane? There's so much to care about there's me there's Mimi
Roger:
Mimi's got her baggage too
Mark:
So do you
Roger:
Who are you to tell me what I know. What to do
Mark:
A friend
Roger:
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" Mark
hides in his work
Mark:
From what?
Roger:
From 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 pretend to create and observe when you really detach
from feeling alive
Mark:
Perhaps it's because I'm the one of us to survive
Roger:
Poor baby
Mark:
Mimi still loves Roger
Is Roger really jealous or afraid that Mimi's weak
Roger:
Mimi did look pale
Mark:
Mimi's gotten thin
Mimi's running out of time
Roger's running out the door--
Roger: No more! Oh no! I've gotta go.
Mark:
Hey! For someone who's always been let down who's heading out of town?
Roger:
For someone who longs for a community of his own, who's with his camera, alone?
I'll call. I hate the fall.
(Mimi enters)
You heard?
Mimi:
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 came to say
Roger: Glory
Mimi:
goodbye love
Roger:
One blaze of
Mimi:
goodbye love
Roger:
glory
Mimi:
goodbye love goodbye
Roger: I have to find
(Roger leaves Benny enters)
Mimi:
please don't touch me understand I'm scared I need to go away
Mark:
I know a place, a clinic
Benny:
A rehab?
Mimi:
Maybe, could you?
Benny:
I'll pay
Mimi:
goodbye love
goodbye love
came to say goodbye love, goodbye.
just came to say goodbye love,
goodbye love, goodbye love, goodbye love
hello disease
(Mimi runs away, Collins is booted from the funeral home when he can't pay the bill. Benny offers to pay; then he and
Collins go drinking. Mark stays behind to prepare for his meeting with "Buzzline".)

 

[AmandaSparks730]

MIMI:
Whats the time?
Well it's gotta be close to midnight
My body's talking to me
It say,'Time for danger'

It says 'I wanna commit a crime
Wanna be the cause of a fight
Wanna put on a tight skirt and flirt
With a stranger'

I've had a knack from way back
At breaking the rules once I learn the
Game
Get-up life's too quick

I know someplace sick
Where this chick'll dance it the flames
We don't need any money
I always get in for free
You can get in too
If you get in with me

Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You wanna play?
Let's run away
We wont be back
Before it's New Years Day
Take me out tonight (meow)

When I get a wink from the doorman
Do you know how lucky you'll be?
That your on line with the feline of
Avenue B

Let's go out tonight
I have to go out tonight
You wanna prowl
Be my night owl?
Well take my hand we're gonna howl
Out tonight

In the evening I�ve got to roam
Can't sleep in the city of neon and chrome
Feels to damn much like home
When the spanish babies cry

So let's find a bar
So dark we forget who we are
And all the scars from the
Nevers and maybes die

Let's go out tonight
Have to go out tonight
You're sweet
Wanna hit the street?
Wanna wail at the moon like a cat in
Heat?
Just take me out tonight

Please take me out tonight
Don't forsake me - out tonight
I'll let you make me - out tonight
Tonight - tonight - tonight
