How did we get here? How the hell... Pan left - close on the steeple of the church How did I get here? How the hell... Christmas Christmas eve - last year How could a night so frozen be so scalding hot? How can a morning this mild be so raw? Why are entire years strewn On the cutting room floor of memory When single frames from one magic night Forever flicker in close-up On the 3D Imax of my mind That's poetic That's pathetic Why did Mimi knock on Roger's door And Collins choose that phone booth Back where Angel set up his drums Why did Maureen's equipment break down Why am I the witness And when I capture it on film Will it mean that it's the end And I'm alone Goodbye Love 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?

I can't believe he's gone I can't believe you're going (to Roger) 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 goodbye [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 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 But 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 Roger Is Roger really jealous Or afraid that Mimi's weak Roger Mimi did look pale Mark Mimi's gotten thin Mimi's running out of time Roger's running out the door Roger No more! Oh no! I've gotta go Mark Hey, for somebody 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, alone? I'll call I hate the fall (Mimi re-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 Mimi Roger Just came to say Glory Goodbye love One blaze of Goodbye love Glory Goodbye love Goodbye! 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 Goodbye love Goodbye love Came to say goodbye, love, goodbye Just came to say Goodbye love Goodbye love Goodbye love Hello disease [ Mimi runs away. Collins is booted from the funeral home when he can't pay the bill. Benny offers to pay; then he and Collins go drinking. Mark stays behind to prepare for his meeting with "Buzzline".] What You Own Mark "Hi, Mark Cohen for Buzzline...Back to you Alexi. Coming up, vampire welfare queens who are compulsive bowlers."

Collins Negative Mark Back at N.Y.U.? Collins No, no, no I rewired the ATM at the food emporium To provide an honorarium to anyone with the code Roger & Mark The code - Well...? Collins A-N-G-E-L Yet Robin Hooding isn't the solution The powers that be must be undermined where they dwell In a small, exclusive gourmet institution Where we overcharge the wealthy clientele All Three Let's open up a restaurant in Santa Fe With a private corner banquette in the back Collins We'll make it yet, we'll somehow get to Santa Fe Roger But you'd miss New York before you could unpack All Ohh-- Maureen Mark! Roger! Anyone - help! Mark Maureen? Maureen It's Mimi - I can't get her up the stairs Roger No!
