We then go to the street where we see a street with a payphone on it that Collins got attacked and we see a street drummer with a plastic pickle tub that's like a drum. The street drummer bangs the beat to the rhythm as he notices something in the alley. He sees Collins moaning and limping across the stage.
You Okay Honey?
(Javier/Angel)
You okay honey?
(Charles/Collins)
I'm afraid so.
(Javier/Angel)
They get any money?
(Charles/Collins)
No
Had none to get
But they purloined my coat
Well you missed a sleeve.
He sings as Angel wipes his face with a handkerchief. "Thanks." he said.
(Javier/Angel)
Hell, it's Christmas Eve
I'm Angel
(Charles/Collins)
Angel..?
He said as he looked up this beautiful specimen that was tending to his injured self. "Indeed." Collins says.
An angel of the first degree
He introduces himself. "Friends call me Collins- Tom Collins." He says as they shake hands.
Nice tree
(Javier/Angel)
Let's get a band-aid for your knee
I'll change
There's a 'Life Support' meeting at 9:30
Yes this body provides a comfortable home
For the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
(Charles/Collins)
As does mine
(Javier/Angel)
We'll get along fine
Get you a coat, have a bite
Make a night, I'm flushed
(Charles/Collins)
My friends are waiting
(Javier/Angel)
You're cute when you blush
The more the merry ho ho ho
And I do not take no
We then switch to Mark and Roger's loft as Mark leaves for an occasion.
Tune Up #3
"Where are you going?" Roger asks.
"Maureen calls." Mark replies.
"You're such a sucker!" Roger humorously retorts.
"I don't suppose you'd like to see her show in the lot tonight?" Mark asks as Roger shrugs his soldiers.
"…Or come to dinner?" Mark continues.
Roger says as he scoffs. "Zoom in on my empty wallet."
"Touche. Take your AZT." Mark sternly responds with.
(Arthur/Mark)
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." Mark begs Roger as he exits the loft.
"I'm writing one great song before I." He says as he plays the Musetta's Waltz before getting frustrated and slamming his guitar on the table.
One Song Glory
(John/Roger)
One song
Glory
One song
Before I go
Glory
One song to leave behind
Find one song
One last refrain
Glory
From the pretty boy front man
Who wasted opportunity
One song
He had the world at his feet
Glory
In the eyes of a young girl
A young girl
Find glory
Beyond the cheap coloured lights
One song
Before the sun sets
Glory – on another empty life
Time flies – time dies
Glory – one blaze of glory
One blaze of glory – glory
Find
One song
A song about love
Glory
From the soul of a young man
A young man
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
Roger is then interrupted by a sharp knock on the door. It is Mimi Marquez, their beautiful downstairs neighbor.
Light my Candle
(John/Roger)
What'd you forget?
(Abigail/Mimi)
Got a light?
(John/Roger)
I know you? You're
You're shivering
(Abigail/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?
(John/Roger)
Nothing
Your hair in the moonlight
You look familiar
He lights her candle after Mimi leaves, but she stumbles on the way out.
Can you make it?
(Abigail/Mimi)
Just haven't eaten much today
At least the room stopped spinning
Anyway, what?
(John/Roger)
Nothing
Your smile reminded me of
(Abigail/Mimi)
I always remind people of
(John/Roger)
She died, her name was April.
Mimi then, discreetly, blows out the candles to stay in the loft.
(Abigail/Mimi)
It's out again
Sorry about your friend
Would you light my candle?
Roger then lights the candle. After, they linger, albeit, a bit awkwardly.
(John/Roger)
Well-
(Abigail/Mimi)
Yeah. Ow!
(John/Roger)
Oh, the wax it's—
(Abigail/Mimi)
Dripping! I like it—between my?
She tries to get closer to Roger who abruptly steps away.
(John/Roger)
Fingers. I figured…
Oh, well… goodnight
He then heads back to the table to play his guitar as Mimi leaves the loft, only to blow out the candle and knock on the door as Roger answers.
It blew out again?
(Abigail/Mimi)
No – I think that I dropped my stash.
(John/Roger)
I know I've seen you out and about
When I used to go out
Your candle's out
(Abigail/Mimi)
I'm illin'
I had when I walked through the door
It was pure
Is it on the floor
(John/Roger)
The floor?
(Abigail/Mimi)
They say that I have the best ass below 14th Street
Is it true?
(John/Roger)
What?
(Abigail/Mimi)
You're staring again
(John/Roger)
Oh no
I mean you do – have a nice
He tries to say as she stands up and looks at him.
I mean, you look familiar
(Abigail/Mimi)
Like your dead girlfriend?
(John/Roger)
Only when you smile
But I'm sure I've seen you somewhere else
Mimi then crouches her legs to the floor again to look for her stash.
(Abigail/Mimi)
Do you go to the Cat Scratch Club?
That's where I work – I dance – help me look!
(John/Roger)
Yes!
They used to tie you up—
(Abigail/Mimi)
It's a living
(John/Roger)
I didn't recognize you without the handcuffs
Mimi then stands back up and starts walking over to Roger.
(Abigail/Mimi)
We could light the candle
Oh won't you light the candle?
Roger lights it again.
(John/Roger)
Why don't you forget that stuff
You look like you're sixteen
Mimi then gets down all on fours again and tries searching for her stash.
(Abigail/Mimi)
I'm nineteen but I'm old for my age
I'm just born to be bad
(John/Roger)
I once was born to be bad
I used to shiver like that
(Abigail/Mimi)
I have no heat – I told you
(John/Roger)
I used to sweat
(Abigail/Mimi)
I got a cold
(John/Roger)
Uh huh
I used to be a junkie
Mimi then stands back up and faces him, somewhat defensively.
(Abigail/Mimi)
But now and then I like to
(John/Roger)
Uh huh
(Abigail/Mimi)
Feel good
Roger then stops and picks up a small object: Mimi's stash, as he puts it in his pocket.
(John/Roger)
Here it – um
(Abigail/Mimi)
What's that?
(John/Roger)
It's a candy bar wrapper
(Abigail/Mimi)
We could light the candle
Roger then discreetly blows out the candle.
What'd you do with my candle?
Roger then sits on the table again as Mimi sits next to him.
(John/Roger)
That was my last match
(Abigail/Mimi)
Our eyes'll adjust, thank god for the moon
(John/Roger)
Maybe it's not the moon at all
I hear Spike Lee's shooting down the street
(Abigail/Mimi)
Bah humbug… bah humbug
Mimi then places her hand under his, pretending to do it by accident.
(John/Roger)
Cold hands
(Abigail/Mimi)
Yours too
Big, like my father's
You wanna dance?
She says as she grabs his hand and pulls him up.
(John/Roger)
With you?
(Abigail/Mimi) (sarcastically)
No – with my father
(John/Roger)
I'm Roger
(Abigail/Mimi)
They call me
They call me Mimi
As they dance together under the moon, they almost kiss, but Mimi reaches into Roger's pocket and pulls out her stash. As she finishes her lines, she pushes him away and waves the stash in his face before leaving the loft.
Lights then dim down as both John and Abigail exit stage.
