Mimi:
It's true you sold your guitar and bought a car?
Roger:
It's true - I'm leaving now for Santa Fe, It's true you're with this yuppie scum?
Benny:
You said you'd never speak to him again
Mimi:
Not now
Maureen:
Who said you that you have any say in who she says things to at all?
Roger:
Yeah!
Joanne:
Who said that you should stick your nose in other people's...
Maureen:
Who said I was talking to you?
Joanne:
we used to have this fight each night
Mark:
Calm down
Joanne:
She'd never admit I existed
Mark:
Everyone please
Mimi:
He was the same way - he was always "run away - hit the road don't commit" you're full of shit
Joanne:
She's in denial
Mimi:
He's in denial
Joanne:
Didn't give an inch when i gave a mile
Mark:
Come on
Mimi:
I gave a mile
Roger:
Gave a mile to who?
Mark & Benny:
Come on guys chill!
Mimi & Joanne:
I'd be happy to die for a taste of what Angel had someone to live for-unafraid to say i love you
Roger:
All your words are nice Mimi but love's not a three way street you'll never share real love until you love your self-I
should know
Collins:
You all said you'd be cool today so please for my sake...
I can't believe he's gone
I can't believe your going
I can't believe this family must die
Angel helped us believe in love I can't believe you disagree
All:
I can't believe this is good bye
( Maureen and Joanne reconcile and go home. Collins returns to the funeral home. Mimi and Benny leave together. Roger and
Mark are left alone.)
Mark:
I hear there are great restaurants out west
Roger:
Some of the best, how could she?
Mark:
How could you let her go?
Roger:
You just don't know...how could we lose Angel?
Mark:
Maybe you'll see why when you stop escaping your pain at least now if you try Angel's death won't be in vain
Roger:
His death is in vain
Mark:
Are you insane? There's so much to care about there's me there's Mimi-
Roger:
Mimi's got her baggage too
Mark:
So do you
Roger:
Who are you to tell me what I know. What to do
Mark:
A friend
Roger:
But who, Mark, are you? "Mark has got his work" they say "Mark lives for his work" and "Mark's in love with his work" Mark
hides in his work
Mark:
From what?
Roger:
From facing your failure, facing your loneliness facing the fact you live a lie
yes, you live a lie tell you why
you're always preaching not to be numb when that's how you thrive
you pretend to create and observe
when you really detach from feeling alive
Mark:
Perhaps it's because I'm the one of us to survive
Roger:
Poor baby
Mark:
Mimi still loves you
Are you really jealous or afraid that Mimi's weak
Roger:
Mimi did look pale
Mark:
Mimi's gotten thin
Mimi's running out of time
And you're running out the door--
Roger: No more! I've gotta go.
Mark:
Hey! For someone who's always been let down who's heading out of town?
Roger:
For someone who longs for a community of his own, who's with his camera, all alone?
I'll call. I hate the fall.
(Mimi enters)
You heard?
Mimi:
Every word
you don't want baggage without lifetime guarantees
You don't want to watch me die?
I just came to say
goodbye love, goodbye love
came to say goodbye love, goodbye
just came to say
Roger: Glory
Mimi:
goodbye love
Roger:
One blaze of
Mimi:
goodbye love
Roger:

Mimi:

Roger: I have to find
(Roger leaves Benny enters)
Mimi:
please don't touch me understand I'm scared I need to go away
Mark:
I know a place, a clinic
Benny:
A rehab?
Mimi:
Maybe could you?
Benny:
I'll pay
Mimi:

came to say goodbye love goodbye
just came to say goodbye love
goodbye love goodbye love goodbye love
