RENT

RITE 13+ PEOPLE V KNOWS FROM SCHOOL bursts into a flurry of movement.
Then everyone except LYDIA-ROSE and SCOTT freezes in a group upstage.

LYDIA-ROSE

How do you write about real life
When real life is getting more
Like fiction each day
All the crap in the headlines
Blows my mind
And now this deadline
"Eviction -- or pay"
Rent!

SCOTT in Austrailia there's a billabong
people are doing wrong
some animals are going rare
the milk's gone sour
Where is the power
electricity ignites the air!

LYDIA-ROSE And we're hungry and frozen

SCOTT Some life that we've chosen

TOGETHER How we gonna pay
How we gonna pay
How we gonna pay
Last year's rent

LYDIA-ROSE We light candles!!!!!

SCOTT How do you start a fire
when you want to burn
but your parents just won't let you

LYDIA-ROSE How can you generate heat
when they say no fire, sweet

BOTH and you're sad and blue!!

LYDIA-ROSE You light up a mean blaze

SCOTT grabs one of his own posters.

SCOTT With posters --

LYDIA-ROSE grabs old manuscripts.

LYDIA-ROSE And screenplays

SCOTT AND LYDIA-ROSE How we gonna pay
How we gonna pay
How we gonna pay
Last year's rent

Lights go down on the loft and go up on SAM LIBBY,
who's at the pay phone.

SAM On phone
Don't screen, NICK
It's me -- SAM
Your annoying little brother
Hey hey hey! (Got something to eat?)
Don't change the subject NICK
But Sam-Sam -- you haven't eaten all day
You didn't throw up
You didn't throw up
the Rite 13 room ---
Didn't blow up (exactly)
There may have been one teeny tiny spark
You're not calling Lydia-Rose!!!

THE INFAMOUS RANDOM HOT GUY How do you stay on your feet
When on your home street
It's 'trick or treat'
(And tonight it's 'trick')
'Welcome back to town'
Oh, I gotta get to bed
Everything's red
And uh -- oh
I feel sick

LYDIA-ROSE At the window

Where is he?

THE INFAMOUS RANDOM HOT GUY Getting dizzy

He collapses.

LYDIA-ROSE AND SCOTT
How we gonna pay

How we gonna pay
How we gonna pay
Last year's rent

LYDIA-ROSE and SCOTT stoke the fire. Crosscut to BENNY's Range Rover.

BENNY On cellular phone
Alison baby -- you sound sad
I don't believe those two after everything I've done
Ever since our wedding I'm dirt -- They'll see
I can help them all out in the long run

Three locales: SAM at the pay phone,LYDIA-ROSE and SCOTT in their loft, and THE INFAMOUS RANDOM HOT GUY on the ground.

The following is sung simultaneously

BENNY pyros are gathering

pyros are gathering
Can't turn away
pyros are gathering

THE INFAMOUS RANDOM HOT GUY Ughhhhh--
Ughhhhh--
Ughhhhh-- I can't think
Ughhhhh--
Ughhhhh--
Ughhhhh-- I need a drink

LYDIA-ROSE (reading from a script page) "The pyros ignite the night with passionate fire"

SAM NICK -- I'm not a theatre person

SCOTT "The narration crackles and pops with incendiary wit"

SAM Could never be a theatre person LYDIA-ROSE Zoom in as they burn the past to the ground

SAM (realizing she's been cut off) Hello?

LYDIA-ROSE AND SCOTT And feel the heat of the future's glow

SAM Hello?

The phone rings in the loft.

LYDIA-ROSE picks it up

LYDIA-ROSE On phoneHello? NICK?
--Your equipment won't work?
Okay, all right, I'll go!

LYDIA-ROSE AND HALF OF RITE 13+ PEOPLE V KNOWS FROM SCHOOL How do you leave your past behind
It'll fine you even in K-Mart
It reaches way down deep and tears you inside out
Till you're torn apart
Rent!

SCOTT AND OTHER HALF OF RITE 13+ PEOPLE V KNOWS FROM SCHOOL How can you be yourself in an age
Where friends , landlords, bitches

Your own destinies betray

ALL What binds the fabric together
When the raging, shifting winds of change
Keep ripping away

BENNY Draw a line in the sandAnd then make a stand

SCOTT Use your pencils to spar

LYDIA-ROSE Use Nick's guitar

ALL When they act tough - you call their bluff

LYDIA-ROSE AND SCOTT We're not gonna pay

LYDIA-ROSE AND SCOTT WITH HALF OF RITE 13+ PEOPLE V KNOWS FROM SCHOOL We're not gonna pay

LYDIA-ROSE AND SCOTT WITH OTHER HALF OF RITE 13+ PEOPLE V KNOWS FROM SCHOOL We're not gonna pay
