"No...I never loved after you."
"Then I don't care about who you were with...your kind isn't susceptible to our human diseases and..."
"You know?" he interrupts.
"I know everything, Frank. Columbia told me everything. And despite all of it, I love you." Riff Raff starts running towards Columbia. Eva again raises her gun. She shoots him in the leg. "I don't want to kill anyone, but if I have to, I'm not sure I'd have any regrets. You can go back to where you came from soon enough, just give me a few minutes!"
Frank wraps his arms around Eva. His damp clothing is cool against her skin. He stands there embracing her, remembering the time they had spent together...remembering the love they'd made...remembering how much better it felt to be with her than any number of lovers. He kisses her, very gently at first, but she pulls him into her and they kiss passionately.
Frank pulls away, but this time he tells Eva that he loves her, that he is sorry for everything she had been put through and that Riff Raff and Magenta will receive proper punishment once they get home. "Does she have a name? The baby, I mean."
"Her name is Faye," Eva replies brushing the hair out of Frank's eyes. "And she has her father's eyes. I looked into the every day dreaming about you holding her."
"Faye," he chuckles. "How fitting."
"I can't stand anymore of this!" Riff Raff screams.
"Oh, shut up!" Magenta yells back, sounding confident for once in her life. "Ve can just leave him here, nobody needs to know." She looks at Frank. "I am sorry. Please, let us return home, ve vill make up some excuse about you...please."
Frank glares at Magenta and says, "After everything you've done, you think I'll just let you go? You must be mad!"
"Frank," Eva says calmly. "Will you stay here with me?"
"Of course, love," he replies.
"Then just let them go. Forget about this life and live this one with me and your daughter."
"But they've done such awful things..."
"I know, but I also know that you're not a cruel person."
"You're sure you want them to just go?" he asks.
"Yes."
"All right then," Frank says sternly. "You may go. Wait a few more minutes though."
"Thank you," Magenta says leaving the room. Riff Raff limps behind her.
Frank approaches Columbia. "Thank you," he says kissing her on the cheek. "Without you, well, I'd be dead."
"Frank, I'm so sorry about everything," Columbia starts.
"Shh, it's not your fault. Look at what they turned me into. I have some good news for you though."
"What's that?" Columbia asks looking at the floor.
"Eddie's alive, he's just back in the deep freeze."
"How can you be so cruel? You ate him for dinner!"
"Ya!" Janet yells. "We saw his body!"
Frank rolls his eyes. "Really, can't anyone tell when a corpse is plastic? It was so obvious! And cannibalism is something that even I, high on morphine, couldn't partake in."
At that moment, a chilled Eddie bursts through the doors. He is bloodied, but very much alive.
"Eddie!" Columbia screams. She runs to him and jumps on him as she did earlier that night.
Eva smiles at Frank. "See," she says, "you're not so bad." Frank wraps his arms around her, kissing her.
"Vait!" Dr. Scott yells. "This is just wrong, it's not supposed to end this vay!"
Collectively, everyone in the room tells him to be quiet.
"Brad, Janet," Frank says, "sorry for being such an awful host. As you can see, I'm not all bad." Brad and Janet smile. "Now, let's all get out of here before the castle lifts off. Columbia, are you going to stay or go with them."
"Are you kiddin'? I'm gonna stay. Think I'll open a nightclub downtown or somethin'. C'mon, Eddie." Columbia skips off with Eddie to live happily ever after.
"What about Rocky?" Janet asks.
"Oh," Frank says. "I think he can go to Transsexual, he'll fit in nicely there. "Go on, Rocky, you're going on a nice trip." Rocky leaves the auditorium. Strangely enough, he seems happy for Frank. "Well let's be off then."
Frank, Eva, Brad, Janet, and Dr. Scott exit the castle and watch it take off into the night sky. This is where the song "Super Heroes" would play, but there is a different ending, so of course there is a different song.
Everyone
leaves and Frank and Eva stand alone in the moonlight. Frank begins to sing:
I'm giving up this restless life
My wayward friends (Looks toward the sky)
The bad advice they give
I'm settling down to keep you company (Takes Eva in his arms)
I'm starting over (Starts to slowly dance with her)
One more time
A change of heart
I've crossed the line again
It took me all the time to see (Strokes her cheek with his hand)
That what we've got is
Something short of paradise (She rests her head on his shoulder)
A little bit less than we might like
I know this ain't heaven
It's close enough for me
I know this ain't heaven
It's close as I'll ever be
It won't be easy
Changing style (Looks at his clothes, Eva smiles)
The shape I'm in
It just might take awhile
But in the end
I know you're going to see
That what we've got is (The couple looks into each other's eyes)
(Eva sings with him)
Something short of paradise
A little bit less than we might like
I know this ain't heaven
It's close enough for me
I know this ain't heaven
It's close as I'll ever be...
The ending song is entitled
"Something Short of Paradise." It was written by Dick Wagner
and can be heard on Tim Curry's "Fearless" album.
