MARK
 Tell the folks at home what you're doing Roger
 ROGER
 I'm writing one great song --
 MARK
 The phone rings
 ROGER
 Yesss!
 MARK
 We screen.
 ROGER & MARK'S ANSWERING MACHINE
 "Speak". . .("Beeep!")
 COLLINS
 "Chestnuts Roasting---"
 ROGER & MARK
 Collins!
 COLLINS
 I'm downstairs
 MARK
 Hey!
 COLLINS
 Roger picked up the phone??
 MARK
 No, it's me.
 COLLINS
 Throw down the key.
 MARK
 A wild night is now pre-ordained
 COLLINS
 I may be detained.
 MARK
 What does he mean. . .?
 What do you mean - detained?
 BENNY
 Ho ho ho.

 MARK
 What rent?
 BENNY
 This past year's rent which I let slide
 MARK
 Let slide? You said we were 'golden'
 ROGER
 When you bought the building
 MARK
 When we were roommates
 ROGER
 Remember - you lived here!?
 BENNY
 How could I forget?
 You, me, Collins, and Maureen
 How is the drama queen?
 MARK
 She's performing tonight
 BENNY
 I know.
 Still her production manager?
 MARK
 Two days ago I was bumped
 BENNY
 You still dating her?
 MARK
 Last month I was dumped
 ROGER
 She's in love
 BENNY
 She's got a new man?
 MARK
 Well - no
 BENNY
 What's his name?
 BOTH
 Joanne
 BENNY
 Rent, my amigos, is due
 Or I will have to evict you
 Be there in a few
 MARK
 The power blows. . .
