Happy New Year

Mimi
How long til next year?

Roger
Three and half minutes...

Mimi
Im giving up my vices
Im going back - back to school
Eviction or not
This weeks been so hot
That long as Ive got you
I know ill be cool

I couldnt crack the love code, dear
til you made the lock on my heart
Explode
Its gonna be a happy new year
A happy new year

Mark
Coast is clear
Youre supposed to be working
Thats for midnight
Where are they?
There isnt much time

Mimi
Maybe theyre dressing
I mean what does one wear thats
Apropos
For a party - thats also a crime

Maureen
Chips, anyone?

Mark
You can take the girl out of hicksville
But you cant take the hickville out
Of the girl

Maureen
My riot got you on tv
I deserve a royalty

Mimi
Be nice you two
Or no god awful champagne

Maureen
Dont mind if I do
No luck?

Roger
Bolted plywood, padlocked and
Chained
A total dead end

Maureen
Just like my ex-girlfriend

(on cell phone)
Honey...?
I know youre there...
Please pick up the phone
Are you okay?

Its not funny
Its not fair!
How can I atone?
Are you okay?

I lose control
But I can learn to behave
Give me one more chance
Let me be your slave

Ill kiss your doc martens
Let me kiss your doc martens
Your every wish I will obey

(Joanne enters)

Joanne
That might be okay
Down girl
Heel... Stay

I did a bit of research
With my friends at legal aid
Technically, youre squatters
Theres hope
But just in case

Mark and Joanne
Rope!

Mark
We can hoist a line--

Joanne
To the fire escape--

Mark
And tie off at

Mark and Joanne
That bench!

Maureen
I cant take them as chums

Joanne
Start hoisting... Wench

Roger
I think I should be laughing
Yet I forget
Forget how to begin

Im feeling something inside
And yet I still cant decide if I should hide
Or make a wide open grin

Last week I wanted just to disappear
My life was dust
But now it just may be a happy new year
A happy new year

(Collins enters with Angel)

Collins
Bond - james bond

Angel
And pussy galore - in person

Mimi
Pussy - you came prepared

Angel
I was a boy scout once
And a brownie
til some little brat got scared

Collins
Aha! Moneypenny - my martini!

Mimi
Will bad champagne do?

Roger
Thats shaken - not stirred

Collins
Pussy - the bolts

Angel
Just say the word!

Mimi
Two minutes left to execute our plan

Collins
Wheres everyone else?

Roger
Playing spiderman

Mark
Ironic close up: tight
On the phone machines red light
Once the boho boys are gone
The power mysteriously comes on
