After Mimi runs off, Collins and the Pastor enter the scene.
What You Own
(The Pastor)
Off the premises now
We don't give handouts here!
(Arthur/Mark)
What happened to "rest in peace"?
(The Pastor)
Off the premises, queer!
The Pastor then exits.
(Charles/Collins)
That's no way to send a boy
To meet his maker?
They had to know
We couldn't pay the undertaker
(Micah/Benny)
Don't worry 'bout him. Hey. I'll take care of it.
The Pastor acknowledges Benny and then exits.
(Arthur/Mark)
Must be nice to have money
(All three)
No shit
(Charles/Collins)
I think it's only fair to tell you
You just paid for the funeral
Of the person who killed your dog
(Micah/Benny)
I know
I always hated that dog!
Let's pay him off
And then get drunk
(Arthur/Mark)
I can't I have a meeting
(Charles/Collins & Micah/Benny)
Punk! Let's go
They both exit.
(Arthur/Mark) (imagining)
"Hi. Mark Cohen here for Buzzline … back to you Alexi. Coming up next – vampire welfare queens who are compulsive bowlers. "Oh my god, what am I doing?"
Don't breathe too deep
Don't think all day
Dive into work
Drive the other way
That drip of hurt
That pint of shame
Goes away
Just play the game
You're living in America
At the end of the millennium
You're living in America
Leave your conscience at the tone
And when you're living in America
At the end of the millennium
You're what you own
Lights then fade up on Roger.
(John/Roger)
The filmmaker cannot see
(Arthur/Mark)
And the songwriter cannot hear
(John/Roger)
Yet I see Mimi everywhere
(Arthur/Mark)
Angel's voice is in my ear
(John/Roger)
Just tighten those shoulders
(Arthur/Mark)
Just clench your jaws 'til you frown
(John/Roger)
Just don't let go
(Both)
Or you may drown
You're living in America
At the end of the millennium
You're living in America
Where it's like the Twilight Zone
And when you're living in America
At the end of the millennium
You're what you own
So I own not a notion
I escape and ape content
I don't own emotion – I rent
(Arthur/Mark)
What was it about that night
(John/Roger)
What was it about that night
(Both)
Connection – in an isolating age
(Arthur/Mark)
For once the shadows gave way to light
(John/Roger)
For once the shadows gave way to light
(Both)
For once I didn't disengage
Mark then goes to a payphone and dials.
(Arthur/Mark)
Angel – I hear you
I hear it
I see it – I see it my film!
Alexi – Mark
Call me a hypocrite
I need to finish my own film
I quit!
(John/Roger)
Mimi I see you – I see it
I hear it – I hear it
My song
One song – glory
Mimi
Your eyes
(Both)
Dying in America
At the end of the millennium
We're dying in America
To come into our own
But when you're dying in America
At the end of the millennium
You're not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
Blackout. Once again the phone rings.
Voice Mail #5
(John/Roger & Arthur/Mark's Answering Machine)
"Speak…"
(Beep)
(John/Roger's mother) (in the tune of the Star Wars theme)
Roger
This is your mother
Roger, honey I don't get these postcards
"Moving to Santa Fe"
"Back in New York"
"Starting a rock band"
Roger, where are you? (etc.)
Please call
(The following is sung simultaneously.)
(Abigail/Mimi's mother)
Mimi, chica, donde esta?
Tu mama esta yamando
Donde estas Mimi call
(Mrs. Jefferson)
Kitten – wherever are you – call
(Mrs. Cohen)
Mark – are you there – are you there
I don't know if he's there
We're all here wishing you were here, too –
Where are you, Mark, are you there, are you where are you?
Mark – are you there – are you there
I don't know if – please call your mother
Finale
We then go to the Lot and the Loft.
(All Seven Homeless People)
Christmas bells are ringing
Christmas bells are ringing
Christmas bells are ringing
How time flies
When compassion dies
No stockings
No candy canes
No gingerbread
No safety net
No loose change
No change no
(One Homeless Man)
Santy Claus is coming
(All)
'Cause Santy Claus ain't coming
No room at the Holiday Inn – again
Well, maybe next year
Or – when
Lights then shift back to the loft. A small projector sits on a milk crate that sits on a dolly.
(Arthur/Mark)
December 24th, Ten PM, Eastern Standard Time
I can't believe a year went by so fast
Time to see – what we have – time to see
Turn the projector on
A rough title credit, "Today 4 U: Proof Positive", then a shot of Roger tuning his guitar from last Christmas.
First shot Roger
With the Fender guitar he just got out of hock
When he sold the car
That took him away and back
(John/Roger)
I found my song
(Arthur/Mark)
Found his song
If he could just find Mimi
(John/Roger)
I tried – you know I tried
Mark's image then appears on the screen.
(Arthur/Mark)
Fade in on Mark
Who's still in the dark
(John/Roger)
But he's got great footage
(Arthur/Mark)
Which he's cut together
(John/Roger)
To screen tonight
Benny's image then appears on screen.
(Arthur/Mark)
In honor of Benny's wife
(John/Roger)
Muffy
(Arthur/Mark)
Allison
Pulling Benny out of the East Village location
The projector then blows a fuse. Blackout.
(John/Roger)
Then again. Maybe we won't screen it tonight.
(Arthur/Mark)
I wonder how Allison found out about Mimi?
(John/Roger)
Maybe a little bird told her.
Collins then enters in the dark, with $20 bills in each hand.
(Charles/Collins)
Or an angel.
Lights then fade up.
I had a little hunch that you could use a little 'flow
(John/Roger)
Tutoring again?
(Charles/Collins)
Negative
(Arthur/Mark)
Back at N.Y.U.?
(Charles/Collins)
No, no, no
I rewired the ATM at the food emporium
To provide an honorarium to anyone with the code
(John/Roger & Arthur/Mark)
The code –
Well…?
(Charles/Collins)
A-N-G-E-L
Yet Robin Hooding isn't the solution
The powers that be must be undermined where they dwell
In a small, exclusive gourmet institution
Where we overcharge the wealthy clientele
(All Three)
We'll open up a restaurant in Santa Fe
With a private corner banquette, in the back
We'll make it yet, we'll somehow get to Santa Fe
(John/Roger)
But you'd miss New York before you could unpack
(All)
Ohh –
Maureen and Joanne then enter carrying Mimi.
(Mary/Maureen)
Mark! Roger! Anyone – help!
(Arthur/Mark)
Maureen?
(Mary/Maureen)
It's Mimi – I can't get her up the stairs
(John/Roger)
No!
They then enter the loft.
(Mary/Maureen)
She was huddled in the park in the dark
And she was freezing
And begged to come here
(John/Roger)
Over here
Oh, god –
They then lay her down carefully on the table.
(Abigail/Mimi)
"Got a light – I know you – you're shivering…"
(Tilly/Joanne)
She's been living on the street
(John/Roger)
We need some heat
(Abigail/Mimi)
I'm shivering
(Arthur/Mark)
We can buy some wood and something to eat
(Charles/Collins)
I'm afraid she needs more than heat
(Abigail/Mimi)
I heard that
(Mary/Maureen)
Collins, will call for a doctor, honey
(Abigail/Mimi)
Don't waste your money on Mimi, me, me
(Charles/Collins)
Hello – 9-1-1
I'm on hold
(Abigail/Mimi)
Cold… cold… would you light my candle?
(John/Roger)
Yes – we'll, oh god – find a candle
(Abigail/Mimi)
I should tell you
I should tell you
(John/Roger)
I should tell you
I should tell you
(Abigail/Mimi)
I should tell you
Benny wasn't any –
(John/Roger)
Shhh – I know
I should tell you why I left
It wasn't cause I didn't –
(Abigail/Mimi)
I know
I should tell you
(John/Roger)
I should tell you
(Abigail/Mimi) (whispering)
I should tell you
I love you –
She then begins to fade.
(John/Roger)
Who do you think you are?
Leaving me alone with my guitar
Hold on there's something you should hear
It isn't much but it took all year
She stirs and he plays an acoustic guitar at her bedside.
Your Eyes
(John/Roger)
Your eyes
As we said our goodbyes
Can't get them out of my mind
And I find I can't hide (from)
Your eyes
The ones that took me by surprise
The night you came into my life
Where there's moonlight
I see your eyes
The band then takes over.
How'd I let you slip away
When I'm longing so to hold you
Now I'd die for one more day
'Cause there's something I should've told you
Yes there's something I should've told you
When I looked into your eyes
Why does distance make us wise?
You were the song all along
And before the song dies
I should tell you, I should tell you
I have always loved you.
You can see it in my eyes
We then hear the Musetta's theme, correctly and passionately. Mimi's head falls to the side and her arm drops limply off the edge of the table.
MIMI!
The group then begin to mourn her.
Finale B
Then… suddenly, Mimi's hand regains movement. Incredibly she's still alive!
(Abigail/Mimi)
I jumped over the moon!
(John/Roger)
What?
(Abigail/Mimi)
A leap of Mooooooooo –
(Tilly/Joanne)
She's back!
(Abigail/Mimi)
I was in a tunnel. Heading for this warm, white light…
(Mary/Maureen)
Oh my god!
(Abigail/Mimi)
And I swear Angel was there – and she looked GOOD! And she said, "Turn around girlfriend – and listen to that boy's song…"
(Charles/Collins)
She's drenched
(Mary/Maureen)
Her fever's breaking
(Arthur/Mark)
There is no future – there is no past
(John/Roger)
Thank god this moment's not the last
(Abigail/Mimi & John/Roger)
There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret or life is yours to miss
(All)
No other road no other way
No day but today
As the finale grows, the entire company makes their way onto the stage.
(Women) (Men)
I can't control Will I lose my dignity
My destiny Will someone care
I trust my soul Will I wake tomorrow
My only goal From this nightmare
Is just to be
Mark's film resumes along with two more films projecting from the back wall, "Scenes from RENT…" whilst Angel comes out towards the end in white clothes to sing with the rest of the company as the audience applauds towards the end.
(Women) (Men)
Without you There's only now
The hand gropes There's only here
The ear hears Give in to love
The pulse beats Or live in fear
Life goes on No other path
But I'm gone No other way
Cause I die
Without you No day but today
I die without you No day but today
I die without you No day but today
I die without you No day but today
I die without you No day but today
I die without you No day but today
No day but today No day but today
THE END!
The whole company then comes out one by one and takes their bows as I'll Cover You plays as the exit music. Dutch and Hosea thank everybody for attending the performance.
