Happy New Year B Lyrics

MAUREEN

I think we need an agent!

MARK

We?

JOANNE

That's selling out

MARK

But it's nice to dream

MAUREEN

Yeah - It's network TV
And it's all thanks to me

MARK

Somehow I think I smell
The whiff of the scheme

JOANNE

Me too

MAUREEN

We can plan another protest

JOANNE

We?!

MAUREEN

This time you can shoot from the start... (to Mark)
You'll direct... (to Joanne)
Starring me!

ALL

5, 4, 3... Open sesame!!

Happy new year
Happy new year
Happy new...

BENNY

I see that you've beaten me to the punch

ROGER

How did you know we'd be here?

BENNY

I had a hunch

MARK

You're not mad?

BENNY

I'm here to end this war
It's a shame you went and destroyed the door

MIMI

Why all the sudden the big about face?

BENNY

The credit is yours
You made a good case

ROGER

What case?

BENNY

Mimi came to see me
And she had much to say

MIMI

That's not how you put it at all yesterday

BENNY

I couldn't stop thinking about the whole mess
Mark - You want to get this on film

MARK

I guess

BENNY

I regret the unlucky circumstances
Of the past seven days

ROGER

Circumstance?
You padlocked our door

BENNY

And it's with great pleasure
On behalf of Cyberarts
That I had you this key

ANGEL

Golf claps

MARK

I have no juice in my battery

BENNY

Reshoot

ROGER

I see - this is a photo opportunity

MAUREEN

The benevolent God ushers the poor artists back to their flat
Were you planning on taking down the barbed wire
From the lot, too?

ROGER

Anything but that!

BENNY

Clearing the lot was a safety concern
We break ground this month
But you can return

MAUREEN

That's why you're here with people you hate
Instead of with Muffy at Muffy's estate

BENNY

I'd honestly rather be with you tonight
Than in Westport --

ROGER
RENT - Happy New Year B - http://motolyrics.com/rent/happy-new-year-b-lyrics.html
Spare us old sport, the soundbite

BENNY

Mimi - since your ways are so seductive

MIMI

You came onto me!

BENNY

Persuade him not to be so counterproductive

ROGER

Liar!

BENNY

Why not tell them what you wore to my place?

MIMI

I was on my way to work

BENNY

Black leather and lace!
My desk was a mess
I think I'm still sore

MIMI

Cause I kicked him and told him I wasn't his whore!

BENNY

Does your boyfriend know
Who your last boyfriend was?

ROGER

I'm not her boyfriend
I don't care what she does

ANGEL

People! Is this any way to start a new year?
Have compassion
Benny just lost his cat

BENNY

My dog - but I appreciate that

ANGEL

My cat had a fall
And I went through hell

BENNY

It's like losing a -
How did you know that she fell?

COLLINS

Champagne?

BENNY

Don't mind if I do
To dogs

ALL BUT BENNY

No Benny - To you!

ANGEL

Let's make a resolution

MIMI
I'll drink to that!

COLLINS

Let's always stay friends

JOANNE

Tho' we may have out disputes

MAUREEN

This family tree's got deep roots

MARK

Friendship is thicker than blood

ROGER

That depends

MIMI

Depends on trust

ROGER

Depends on true devotion

JOANNE

Depends on love

MARK

Depends on not denying emotion

ROGER

Perhaps

ALL

It's gonna be a happy new year

ROGER

I guess

ALL

It's gonna be a happy new year

ROGER

You're right

ANGEL

It's gonna be a happy new year

ROGER & MIMI

I'm sorry

ROGER

Coming?

MIMI

In a minute - I'm fine - Go

THE MAN

Well, well, well, what have we here?

It's gonna be a happy new year
There, there... (etc.)
