Homeless people were gathered stage left and were singing.
A Homeless Man
Christmas bells are ringing
Christmas bells are ringing
Christmas bells are ringing
Somewhere else!
Not here
A skinny Hispanic guy sat drumming a plastic bucket. Collins stumbles on to the stage. The guy had a soft soothing voice.
Guy You okay honey?
Collins I'm afraid so
Guy They get any money?
Collins No Had none to get - But they purloined my coat - Well you missed a sleeve! - Thanks
Guy Hell it's Christmas eve I'm Angel.
Collins looks closer at the Guy.
Collins Angel..? Indeed
"Oh!" The realization hit Skin. "He's...... well... um-"
"Gay." Jubilee said for him. "Collins is Gay and I'm guessing Angel is to. That's to bad he's kinda cute."
Collins An angel of the first degree Friends call me Collins - (Christmas Lights on the stage come up) Tom Collins Nice tree ...

Jono turns to Sean.
"So they both have AIDS?" He asks.
"That's what it seem lad, you shouldn't talk so loud."
"No one can hear me."
Mark I don't suppose you'd like to see Maureen's show in the lot tonight? Or come to dinner?
"I wonder who this Maureen is and where is she?" Sean said.
Roger Zoom in on my empty wallet.
Mark Touche. Take your AZT. Close on Roger His girlfriend April Left a note saying "We've got AIDS" Before slitting her wrists in the bathroom I'll check up on you later. Change your mind. You have to get out of the house.
"What's AZT?" Jubilee asked.
"A treatment for AIDS." Sean said. Even M sighed and had a look of sadness when she heard this.
Roger was alone on stage he was playing his guitar and singing about haw he wanted to write one last song before he died.
Roger I'm writing one great song before I... One song Glory One song Before I go Glory One song to leave behind
The single spot light that laminated Roger made the everything so much more passionate.
One actor stood backstage watching the man who played Roger as he sang his song. He had his guitar on his lap and a sad look in his eyes.
'So much Like Jono' She thought before she went to touch up her make-up.
Roger Find The one song Before the virus takes hold Glory Like a sunset One song To redeem this empty life Time flies And then - no need to endure anymore Time dies (A knock on the door) The door
Jubilee was wiping tears away. Monet was not crying but you could see the tears in her eyes. The boys weren't as bad, but for some reason they kept looking from Jono too Roger.
"Wot?" He asked.
The girls noticed now. No one said anything about it. Emma just looked on and smiled.
Roger went to answer the door, it was a young Hispanic girl with a candle asking for a light.
Roger kept say how familiar she was. She tried to flirt with him but he would have nothing of it. She left.
She came back saying she had lost her stash. She's looking around when she accuses Roger of staring at her. It turns out she's a dancer. (Dancer = Stripper)
He tries to get her to stop taking smack. She would have nothing to do with it. He finds the bag and hides it.
They end up holding hands.
Roger Cold hands
Girl Yours too. Big. Like my father's You wanna dance?
Roger With you?
Girl No - with my father
Roger I'm Roger
Girl They call me They call me Mimi.
"Uh, did they just have a huge serious conversation.... and just THEN introduced them selves?" Mondo asked.
"Yes now hush listen to JoAnne's voice mail." Emma said.
