Happy New Year
4
(New Year's Eve. The scene opens on the street outside the
5
apartment. One table, lying on its end, serves as the door.)
6
MARK (carrying mock door)
7
Pan to the padlocked door. New Year's Rocking Eve. The
8
breaking-back-into-the-building party...
9
(ROGER and MIMI try in vain to pry a padlock from the door. They
10
appear to be happy.)
11
MIMI
12
How long till next year?
13
ROGER
14
Three and half minutes...
15
MIMI
16
I'm giving up my vices
17
I'm going back -- back to school
18
Eviction or not
19
This week's been so hot
20
That long as I've got you
21
I know I'll be cool
22
I couldn't crack the love code, dear
23
'Til you made the lock on my heart explode
24
It's gonna be a happy new year
25
A happy new year
26
(MARK enters the scene.)
27
MARK
28
Coast is clear
29
You're supposed to be working
30
That's for midnight
31
Where are they?
32
There isn't much time
33
MIMI
34
Maybe they're dressing
35
I mean what does one wear that's apropos
36
For a party -- that's also a crime
37
(MAUREEN enters wearing a skintight "cat burgular" suit and carrying
38
a bag of potato chips.)
39
MAUREEN
40
Chips, anyone?
41
MARK
42
You can take the girl out of Hicksville
43
But you can't take the Hicksville out of the girl
44
MAUREEN
45
My riot got you on TV
46
I deserve a royalty
47
MIMI
48
Be nice you two
49
Or no god awful champagne
50
(MAUREEN takes out a cellular phone and dials.)
51
MAUREEN
52
Don't mind if I do
53
No luck?
54
ROGER
55
Bolted plywood, padlocked with a chain
56
A total dead end
57
MAUREEN
58
Just like my ex-girlfriend
59
(on cellular phone)
60
Honey...?
61
I know you're there ...
62
Please pick up the phone
63
Are you okay?
64
It's not funny
65
It's not fair
66
How can I atone?
67
Are you okay?
68
I lose control
69
But I can learn to behave
70
Give me one more chance
71
Let me be your slave
72
I'll kiss your Doc Martens
73
Let me kiss your Doc Martens
74
Your every wish I will obey
75
(JOANNE enters)
76
JOANNE
77
That might be okay
78
Down girl
79
Heel...stay
80
I did a bit of research
81
With my friends at legal aid
82
Technically, you're squatters
83
There's hope
84
But just in case
85
(JOANNE whips out...)
86
MARK & JOANNE
87
Rope!
88
MARK (pointing off)
89
We can hoist a line --
90
JOANNE
91
To the fire escape --
92
MARK
93
And tie off at...
94
MARK & JOANNE
95
That bench!
96
MAUREEN
97
I can't take them as chums
98
JOANNE
99
Start hoisting...wench
100
(All three cross upstage and attempt to throw up the length of rope
101
over a plank. ROGER and MIMI are laughing and holding each other.)
102
ROGER
103
I think I should be laughing
104
Yet I forget
105
Forget how to begin
106
I'm feeling something inside
107
And yet I still can't decide
108
If I should hide
109
Or make a wide open grin
110
Last week I wanted just to disappear
111
My life was dust
112
But now it just may be a happy new year
113
A happy new year
114
(COLLINS enters with ANGEL. COLLINS, dressed in black and
115
wearing sunglasses, carries a bottle of champagne. ANGEL wears a
116
plastic dress and blonde wig: a small blowtorch is slung over his
117
shoulder.)
118
COLLINS
119
Bond -- James Bond
120
ANGEL
121
And Pussy Galore -- in person
122
MIMI
123
Pussy -- you came prepared
124
ANGEL
125
I was a boy scout once
126
And a brownie
127
'Til some brat got scared
128
COLLINS (to MIMI)
129
Aha! Moneypenny -- my martini!
130
MIMI
131
Will bad champagne do?
132
ROGER
133
That's shaken -- not stirred
134
COLLINS
135
Pussy -- the bolts
136
(COLLINS takes a swig of champagne as ANGEL grabs the
137
blowtorch.)
138
ANGEL
139
Just say the word!
140
(ANGEL turns on the blowtorch.)
141
MIMI
142
Two minutes left to execute our plan
143
COLLINS
144
Where's everyone else?
145
ROGER
146
Playing Spiderman
147
MARK
148
Ironic close up: tight
149
On the phone machine's red light
150
Once the Boho boys are gone
151
The power mysteriously comes on
