Goodbye Love
4
(The PRINCIPALS emerge from the church.)
5
MIMI (to ROGER)
6
It's true you sold your guitar and bought a car?
7
ROGER
8
It's true -- I'm leaving now for Santa Fe
9
It's true you're with this yuppie scum?
10
BENNY
11
You said you'd never speak to him again
12
MIMI
13
Not now
14
MAUREEN
15
Who said that you have any say
16
In who she says things to at all?
17
ROGER
18
Yeah!
19
JOANNE
20
Who said that you should
21
Stick your nose in other people's ...
22
MAUREEN
23
Who said I was talking to you?
24
JOANNE
25
We used to have this fight each night
26
MARK
27
Calm down
28
JOANNE
29
She'd never admit I existed
30
MARK
31
Everyone please!
32
MIMI
33
He was the same way -- he was always
34
"Run away -- hit the road
35
Don't commit" -- you're full of shit
36
JOANNE
37
She's in denial
38
MIMI
39
He's in denial
40
JOANNE
41
Didn't give an inch
42
When I gave a mile
43
MARK
44
Come on
45
MIMI
46
I gave a mile
47
ROGER
48
Gave a mile to who?
49
MARK & BENNY
50
Come on guys chill!
51
MIMI & JOANNE
52
I'd be happy to die for a taste of what Angel had
53
Someone to live for -- unafraid to say I love you
54
ROGER
55
All your words are nice Mimi
56
But love's not a three way street
57
You'll never share real love
58
Until you love yourself -- I should know
59
COLLINS
60
You all said you'd be cool today
61
So please -- for my sake...
62
I can't believe he's gone
63
(to ROGER) I can't believe you're going
64
I can't believe this family must die
65
Angel helped us believe in love
66
I can't believe you disagree
67
ALL
68
I can't believe this is goodbye
69
(MAUREEN and JOANNE look at each other.)
70
MAUREEN
71
Pookie...
72
JOANNE
73
Honeybear...
74
(They embrace.)
75
JOANNE
76
I missed you...
77
MAUREEN
78
I missed your smell...
79
JOANNE
80
I missed your mouth...Your...
81
(They kiss, but MAUREEN pulls away.)
82
MAUREEN
83
Ow!
84
JOANNE
85
What?
86
MAUREEN
87
Nothing, Pookie.
88
JOANNE
89
No, baby, you said ow...What?
90
MAUREEN
91
Well, you bit my tongue...
92
JOANNE
93
No, I didn't.
94
MAUREEN
95
You did -- I'm bleeding.
96
JOANNE
97
No, it isn't...
98
MAUREEN
99
I think I should know
100
JOANNE
101
Let me see--
102
MAUREEN
103
She doesn't believe me!
104
JOANNE
105
I was only trying to...
106
(They laugh, hug, and wave goodbye, exiting stage right. The
107
PASTOR from the church emerges on the above.)
108
PASTOR
109
Thomas B. Collins...
110
COLLINS
111
Coming.
112
(The PASTOR exits above and COLLINS exits into the church.
113
BENNY stands off to the side as MIMI approaches ROGER, who
114
turns away. She hesitates before leaving with BENNY. ROGER and
115
MARK are left alone.)
116
MARK
117
I hear there are great restaurants out west
118
ROGER
119
Some of the best. How could she?
120
MARK
121
How could you let her go?
122
ROGER
123
You just don't know ... How could we lose Angel?
124
MARK
125
Maybe you'll see why when you s escaping your pain
126
At least now if you try -- Angel's death won't be in vain
127
ROGER
128
His death is in vain
129
(MIMI reappears up left, in the shadows. She overhears ROGER and
130
MARK's conversation.)
131
MARK
132
Are you insane?
133
There so much to care about
134
There's me -- there's Mimi
135
ROGER
136
Mimi's got her baggage, too
137
MARK
138
So do you
139
ROGER
140
Who are you to tell me what I know, what to do
141
MARK
142
A friend
143
ROGER
144
But who, Mark, are you?
145
"Mark has got his work"
146
They say "Mark lives for his work"
147
And "Mark's in love with his work"
148
Mark hides in his work
149
MARK
150
But from what?
151
ROGER
152
From facing your failure, facing your loneliness
153
Facing the fact you live a lie
154
Yes, you live a lie -- tell you why
155
You're always preaching not to be numb
156
When that's how you thrive
157
You pretend to create and observe
158
When you really detach from feeling alive
159
MARK
160
Perhaps it's because I'm the one of us to survive
161
ROGER
162
Poor baby
163
MARK
164
Mimi still loves Roger
165
Is Roger really jealous
166
Or afraid that Mimi's weak
167
ROGER
168
Mimi did look pale
169
MARK
170
Mimi's gotten thin
171
Mimi's running out of time
172
Roger's running out the door
173
ROGER
174
No more! Oh no!
175
I've gotta go
176
MARK
177
Hey, for somebody who's always been let down
178
Who's heading out of town?
179
ROGER
180
For someone who longs for a community of his own,
181
Who's with his camera, alone?
182
(ROGER takes a step to go, then ss, turns.)
183
I'll call
184
I hate the fall
185
(ROGER turns to go and sees MIMI.)
186
You heard?
187
MIMI
188
Every word
189
You don't want baggage without lifetime guarantees
190
You don't want to watch me die
191
I just came to say
192
Goodbye, love
193
Goodbye, love
194
Came to say goodbye, love, goodbye
195
MIMI
196
Just came to say
197
Goodbye love
198
Goodbye love
199
Goodbye love
200
Goodbye!
201
ROGER
202
Glory
203
One blaze of
204
Glory
205
Have to find...
206
(ROGER exits. BENNY returns. MIMI steps away.)
207
MIMI
208
Please don't touch me
209
Understand
210
I'm scared
211
I need to go away
212
MARK
213
I know a place -- a clinic
214
BENNY
215
A rehab?
216
MIMI
217
Maybe -- could you?
218
BENNY
219
I'll pay
220
MIMI
221
Goodbye love
222
Goodbye love
223
Came to say goodbye, love, goodbye
224
Just came to say
225
Goodbye love
226
Goodbye love
227
Goodbye love
228
Hello disease
229
(MIMI runs away. After a moment, COLLINS quicjkly enters, with the
230
PASTOR trailing behind him.)
231
PASTOR
232
Off the premises now, we give no handouts here!
233
MARK
234
What happened to Rest In Peace?!
235
PASTOR
236
Off the premises, queer!
237
COLLINS
238
That's no way to send a boy to meet his maker!
239
They had to know we couldn't pay the undertaker.
240
BENNY
241
(To COLLINS) Don't you worry 'bout him.
242
(To PASTOR) Hey, I'll take care of it!
243
(The PASTOR acknowledges BENNY and exits.)
244
MARK
245
Must be nice to have money.
246
ALL THREE
247
No shit!
248
COLLINS
249
I think it's only fair to tell you, you just paid for the funeral of the
250
person
251
who killed your dog.
252
BENNY
253
I know... I always hated that dog...
254
Let's pay him off, and then get drunk.
255
MARK
256
I can't... I have a meeting.
257
BENNY & COLLINS
258
Punk! Let's go.
259
(COLLINS and BENNY exit.)
260
MARK (imagining)
261
Hi. Mark Cohen here, reporting for Buzzline. Back to you, Alexi!
262
Coming up next, vampire welfare queens who are compulsive
263
bowlers... Oh my God, what am I doing?
