How do you measure Measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets

In midnights, in cups of coffee

In inches, in miles

In truths that she learned? Or in times that he cried?

In bridges he burned?

- Or the way that she died? - It's time now to sing out

Though the story never ends

Let's celebrate Remember a year in the life of friends

Remember the love

December 24th, 1989, 9 p.m., Eastern Standard Time.

From here on in, I shoot without a script.

See if anything comes of it...

...instead of my old shit.

No, get out of here. Hey.

I said, get off the window.

How do you document real life

When real life's getting more Like fiction each day?

Headlines, bread lines Blow my mind

And now this deadline Eviction or pay

Rent

How do you write a song When the chords sound wrong?

Though they once sounded Right and rare

When the notes are sour Where is the power

You once had to ignite the air?

- We're hungry and frozen - Some life we've chosen

- How we gonna pay? - How we gonna pay?

- How we gonna pay - How we gonna pay

- Last year's rent? - Last year's rent?

- Hello? - Hey, guess who's back in town.

It's Collins, man. Throw down the key. Cool.

Hey.

- You got a light, man? - Yeah.

- Give me that shit. - Come here, man.

Get that son of a bitch.

Pick his ass up. Come on.

How do you start a fire When there's nothing to burn

And it feels like something's stuck In your flue?

How can you generate heat When you can't feel your feet

- And they're turning blue? - And they're turning blue?

You light up a mean blaze

- With posters - And screenplays

- How we gonna pay? - How we gonna pay?

- How we gonna pay? - How we gonna pay?

- How we gonna pay - How we gonna pay

- Last year's rent? - Last year's rent?

How do you stay on your feet

When on every street It's trick or treat

And tonight it's trick?

Welcome back to town Oh, I should lie down

Everything's brown And, uh-oh, I feel sick

- Where is he? - Getting dizzy

- How we gonna pay? - How we gonna pay?

How we gonna pay?

How we gonna pay

Last year's rent?

The music ignites the night With passionate fire

The narration crackles and pops With incendiary wit

Zoom in as they burn the past To the ground

And feel the heat Of the future's glow

How do you leave the past behind

When it keeps finding ways To get to your heart?

It reaches way down deep And tears you inside out

Till you're torn apart Rent

How can you connect in an age Where strangers, landlords, lovers

Your own blood cells betray?

What binds the fabric together

When the raging, shifting winds Of change keep ripping away?

Draw a line in the sand And then make a stand

- Use your camera to spar - Use your guitar

When they act tough You call their bluff

We're not gonna pay

We're not gonna pay

We're not gonna pay

Last year's rent

This year's rent

Next year's rent

Rent, rent, rent, rent, rent

We're not gonna pay rent

'Cause everything is rent

Hey.

Bum.

Get your ass off the Range Rover.

Benny, that attitude toward...

...the homeless is exactly what Maureen is protesting.

Maureen is protesting losing her performance space...

...not my attitude.

Come down, I wanna talk to you.

Close-up: Benjamin Coffin III. Our ex-roommate...

...who married Allison Grey of the Westport Greys.

His father-in-law bought several buildings on the block...

...and a nearby vacant lot, home to Tent City.

Benny hopes to evict all of the homeless from Tent City...

...and build a cyber studio.

Roger, you're looking good for a guy coming off of a year of withdrawal.

- What do you want, Benny? - Well, my investor...

- You mean, your father-in-law? - Right.

Read about Maureen's performance in the Village Voice.

Got pissed and sent me down here to collect the rent.

- What rent? - This past year's rent, which I let slide.

You said we were golden.

- When you bought the building. - We were roommates.

- Remember, you lived here? - How could I forget?

You, me, Collins and Maureen.

How is the drama queen?

- She's getting ready for a performance. - I know.

- Still her production manager? - Not exactly.

- Still dating her? - I was dumped.

- She got a new man? - Well...

- No. - What's his name?

- Joanne. - Joanne.

Thanks for being so understanding.

You expect sympathy from the guy...

...who shut off our power on Christmas Eve?

Got your attention, didn't it?

What happened to Benny?

What happened to his heart And the ideals he once pursued?

Any owner of that lot next door Has a right to do with it as he pleases

Happy birthday, Jesus

- The rent - You're wasting your time

- We're broke - You broke your word, this is absurd

There is one way You won't have to pay

- I knew it. - Next door, the home of CyberArts

And now that the block is rezoned Our dream can become a reality

You'll see, boys

You'll see, boys

A state-of-the-art, digital, Virtual interactive studio

I'll forgo your rent And on paper guarantee

That you can stay here for free

- lf you do me one small favor. - What?

Convince Maureen to cancel her protest.

Why not just get an injunction or call the cops?

I did, and they're on standby.

But my investors would rather I handle this quietly

You can't quietly wipe out an entire tent city...

...then watch It's A Wonderful Life on TV.

You wanna produce films and write songs?

You need somewhere to do it

It's what we used to dream about Think twice before you pooh-pooh it

You'll see, boys

You'll see, boys

You'll see the beauty of a studio

That lets us do our work And get paid

With condos on the top Whose rent keeps open our shop

Just stop the protest And you'll have it made

You'll see

Or you'll pack.

Here you go.

Merry Christmas.

Hello?

Oh, my God. You okay, honey?

- I'm afraid so. - Did they get anything, or...?

I didn't have any money, but they took my stuff.

No, I'm fine. I'm fine.

I'm Angel.

Angel?

Friends call me Collins.

Tom. Tom Collins.

Come on. Let's get you cleaned up.

I sort of have to hurry.

- I have a Life Support meeting. - Life Support?

Yeah.

It's for people with AIDS.

People like me.

Me too.

I was gonna go try to find Collins.

You wanna come?

I thought maybe we could all grab some dinner.

Zoom in on my empty wallet.

Touch?

Take your AZT.

I'm writing one great song Before I...

One song Glory

One song before I go

Glory One song to leave behind

Find one song

One last refrain

Glory From the pretty-boy front man

Who wasted opportunity

One song He had the world at his feet

Glory In the eyes of a young girl

A young girl

Find glory

Beyond the cheap colored lights

One song Before the sun sets

Glory

On another empty life

Time flies

Time dies

Glory

One blaze of glory

One blaze of glory

Glory

Find glory

In a song that rings true Truth like a blazing fire

An eternal flame

Find one song

A song about love Glory

From the soul of a young man

A young man

Find the one song Before the virus takes hold

Glory Like a sunset

One song To redeem this empty life

Time flies

And then no need To endure anymore

Time dies

- What'd you forget? - Got a light?

I know you, you're...

You're shivering

It's nothing They turned off my heat

And I'm just a little weak on my feet Would you light my candle?

- What are you staring at? - Nothing

Your hair in the moonlight

You look familiar

- Can you make it? - Just haven't eaten much today

At least the room Stopped spinning anyway

- What? - Nothing

- Your smile reminded me of... - I always "remind people of"

- Who is she? - She died

- Her name was April - It's out again

Sorry 'bout your friend Would you light my candle?

- Well? - Yeah?

Oh, the wax

- It's... - Dripping

- I like it between my... - Fingers

I figured

Oh, well, good night

- It blew out again? - No, I think that I dropped my stash

I know I've seen you out and about

When I used to go out

Your candle's out

I'm illin' I had it when I walked in the door

It was pure Is it on the floor?

The floor?

They say that I have the best ass Below 14th Street

- Is it true? - What?

- You're staring again - Oh, no

I mean, you do have a nice...

I mean, you look familiar

- Like your dead girlfriend - Only when you smile

But I'm sure I've seen you Somewhere else

Do you go to the Cat Scratch Club? That's where I work

I dance

Yes They used to tie you up

It's a living

I didn't recognize you Without the handcuffs

We could light the candle

Oh, won't you light the candle?

Why don't you forget that stuff

- You look like you're 16 - I'm 19

But I'm old for my age I'm just born to be bad

I once was born to be bad I used to shiver like that

- I have no heat, I told you - I used to sweat

- I got a cold - Uh-huh, I used to be a junkie

- But now and then I like to feel good - Uh-huh

- Oh, here - What's that?

Candy-bar wrapper.

We could light the candle

Oh, what'd you do with my candle?

- That was my last match - Our eyes'll adjust

- Thank God for the moon - Maybe it's not the moon at all

I hear Spike Lee's shootin' Down the street

Bah humbug

Bah humbug

- Cold hands - Yours too

Big Like my father's

Do you wanna dance?

With you?

- No, with my father - I'm Roger

They call me

They call me Mimi

We got power.

Merry Christmas.

- Speak. - Speak.

Mark, are you there?

Are you screening your calls? It's Mom.

I just wanted to call and say we love you. We'll miss you today.

Cindy and the kids are here. They send their love.

Hope you like the hot plate. Don't leave it on when you leave the house.

- Honey, give me the phone. - Oh, here's Dad.

Listen, Mark, I'm sorry to hear that Maureen dumped you.

I say, c'est la vie. Let her be a lesbian.

She doesn't know what she's missing.

Happy holidays.

You know...

...there are times when we're dirt broke...

...and hungry and freezing...

...and I ask myself, "Why the hell am I still living here?"

And then they call. And I remember.

What's that?

The girl downstairs.

Oh, the dancer from the Cat Scratch Club?

- Well, you are going, right? - No.

- Oh, come on, Roger. - No.

- Merry Christmas, bitches. - Hey, Collins.

- Your keys. - Yeah, 14 hours later.

What the hell happened to you? Are you all right?

I've never been better. Here.

Oh, hi.

- "Oh, hi." After seven months? - I'm sorry.

You know what you need? This boy could use...

...some Stoli. - This is a complete Christmas feast.

- Thank you. - You struck gold at MIT.

No.

They expelled me for my theory of actual reality.

One for you. One for you.

Oh, wait.

For me.

So I came back home. Merry Christmas.

- Cheers. - Welcome home.

I got a teaching gig at NYU.

Oh, so that's how you can afford to splurge on us.

No. Sit down.

Gentlemen, our benefactor On this Christmas day

Whose charity is only matched By talent, I must say

A new member of the Alphabet City Avant-garde

Angel Dumott Schunard

Today for you Tomorrow for me

Today for you Tomorrow for me

- And you should hear her beat - You earned this on the street?

It was my lucky day today On Avenue A

When a lady in a limousine Drove my way

She said, "Darling, be a dear Haven't slept in a year

I need your help to make my Neighbor's yappy dog disappear

This Akita, Evita, just won't shut up I believe if you play nonstop

That pup will breathe its very last High-strung breath

I'm certain that cur Will bark itself to death"

Today for you Tomorrow for me

Today for you Tomorrow for me

We agreed on a fee $1000 guarantee, tax free

And a bonus if I trim her tree

Now, who could foretell That it would go so well?

But sure as I am here That dog is now in doggy hell

After an hour, Evita, in all her glory

On the window ledge Of that 23rd story

Like Thelma and Louise did When they got the blues

Swan-dove into the courtyard Of the Gracie Mews

Today for you Tomorrow for me

Today for you Tomorrow for me

Back on the street Where I met my sweet

Where he was moaning and groaning On the cold concrete

The nurse took him home For some Mercurochrome

Then I dressed his wounds And got him back on his feet

Sing it Today for you

Tomorrow for me

Today for you Tomorrow for me

I say Today for you

Tomorrow for me Today for you

Tomorrow

For me

That was dope.

That was fresh.

- Speak. - Speak.

Mark. Hi.

It's me. Maureen. Look, I have a bit of a problem.

I really need your help.

I hired Joanne as my production manager...

...and I don't think she knows what the hell she's doing.

If you could just... Please, baby, come to the performance space.

- Hey, Maureen. Hi. - Hi, baby.

- Sure, I'll be there. - Thank you.

- Okay. - Thank you.

Okay, see you soon.

Can you believe her? I mean, first she just dumps me...

- Maureen dumped you? - Yes. She dumped me.

For a lawyer named Joanne.

Now she wants me to help her fix her sound equipment.

- Well, Mark, you could've said no. - I know, but...

- That's cute. You still love her. - Yeah, right.

You do.

- We have to go. - Wanna go to this gathering?

- Where? - Life Support.

On Christmas?

Some people don't have anywhere else to go today.

You should come.

Knock yourselves out.

Everyone's welcome. It's not just for people with AIDS.

Okay, yeah, I'll be there, but first I got a protest to save.

See? Told you.

I'm just playing with you, boy.

Well, it's Christmas.

Don't stay in the house all day.

Bye.

Hi.

Maureen called me to try to come help fix the equipment.

You're Mark?

Joanne?

- Maureen said she'd be here. - Well, don't hold your breath.

This is so typical.

I told her not to call you.

Oh, well...

Can I help anyway?

I've hired an engineer.

Great.

Well, nice to have met you, then.

He's three hours late.

The samples won't delay But the cable...

There's another way Say something, anything

Test, one, two, three

Anything but that

- This is weird - It's weird

- Very weird - Fuckin' weird

I'm so mad that I don't know what to do

Fighting with microphones Freezing down to my bones

And to top it all off I'm with you

Feel like going insane? Got a fire in your brain?

And you're thinking Of drinking gasoline?

- As a matter of fact - Honey, I know this act

It's called the Tango: Maureen

The Tango: Maureen

It's a dark, dizzy merry-go-round

- As she keeps you dangling - You're wrong

- Your heart she is mangling - It's different with me

And you toss and you turn

'Cause her cold eyes can burn

Yet you yearn, and you churn And rebound

I think I know what you mean

- The Tango: Maureen - The Tango: Maureen

Has she ever pouted her lips And called you "pookie'"?

Never.

Have you ever Doubted a kiss or two?

This is spooky

Did you swoon When she walked through the door?

Every time, so be cautious

Did she moon over other boys?

- More than moon - I'm getting nauseous

Where'd you learn to tango?

With the French ambassador's daughter in her room at Miss Porter's.

And you?

With Nanette Himmelfarb, the rabbi's daughter...

...at the Scarsdale Jewish Community Center.

It's hard to do this backwards.

You should try it in heels.

- She cheated - She cheated

- Maureen cheated - Fuckin' cheated

I'm defeated I should give up right now

Gotta look on the bright side With all of your might

I'd fall for her still, anyhow

When you're dancing her dance You don't stand a chance

Her grip of romance makes you fall

- So you think, "Might as well" - "Dance a tango to hell"

"At least I'll have tangoed at all"

The Tango: Maureen

Gotta dance till your diva is through

You pretend to believe her

'Cause in the end You can't leave her

But the end, it will come Still you have to play dumb

Till you're glum and you bum And turn blue

Why do we love when she's mean?

And she can be so obscene

My Maureen

The Tango:

Maureen

Mark.

Mark.

Oh, my God. Are you okay?

Actually...

...I feel great now.

I feel lousy.

And we're patched.

Thanks.

- Maureen? - Hi, baby.

- Hi, honey, we're... - Pookie.

"Pookie"?

- You never called me pook... - We're late.

Forget it.

- We're patched. - Thank you.

Pookie.

Shut up.

Okay, everyone, let's begin.

First, I just want to welcome you all.

Why don't we start by going around and introducing ourselves.

Steve.

Gordon.

Ali.

Pam.

Sue.

Hi.

I'm Angel.

Tom.

Collins.

I'm Paul.

Sorry.

Excuse me.

And you are...?

Oh, I'm not... I don't have...

I'm here with...

I'm just here to...

Mark.

Mark. I'm Mark.

Well, this is quite an operation.

Does anyone have a problem...

...if I film a little of this for a documentary?

Make yourself comfortable, Mark.

Who wants to begin?

Well, I'm...

Yesterday...

...I found out my T cells were low.

What was your reaction?

Scared.

How are you feeling today? Right now?

Okay.

All right.

Pretty good.

Is that all?

It's the best I've felt in a long time.

- Months. - Then why choose fear?

I'm a New Yorker.

Fear's my life.

Look, I find Some of what you teach suspect

Because I'm used to Relying on intellect

But I try to open up To what I don't know

Because reason says I should have died

Three years ago

There's only us

There's only this

Forget regret

Or life is yours to miss

No other road

No other way

No day but today

What's the time?

Well, it's gotta be close to midnight

My body's talking to me It says, "Time for danger"

It says, "I wanna commit a crime

Wanna be the cause of a fight

I wanna put on a tight skirt

And flirt with a stranger"

I've had a knack from way back

At breaking the rules Once I learn the game

Get up, life's too quick I know someplace sick

Where this chick'll Dance in the flames

We don't need any money

I always get in for free

You can get in too

If you get in with me

Let's go

Out tonight

I have to go

Out tonight

You wanna play? Let's run away

We won't be back Before it's New Year's Day

Take me out tonight

Meow.

Yeah

When I get a wink From the doorman

Do you know how lucky you'll be?

That you're on the line

With the feline of Avenue B

Let's go

Out tonight

I have to go

Out tonight

You wanna prowl? Be my night owl?

Well, take my hand we're gonna

Howl

Out tonight

In the evening I've got to roam

Can't sleep in the city Of neon and chrome

Feels too damn much like home

When the Spanish babies cry

So let's find a bar

So dark we forget who we are

Where all the scars From the nevers and maybes die

Let's go

Out tonight

I have to go

Out tonight

You're sweet Wanna hit the street?

Wanna wail at the moon Like a cat in heat?

Just take me

Out tonight

Please take me

Out tonight

Don't forsake me

Out tonight

I'll let you make me

Out tonight

Tonight

Tonight

Tonight

Who do you think you are?

Barging in on me and my guitar

Little girl, hey, the door is that way

You better go You know the fire's out anyway

Take your powder Take your candle

Your sweet whisper I just can't handle

Well, take your hair In the moonlight

Your brown eyes Goodbye, good night

I should tell you I should tell you

I should tell you, I should... No.

Another time, another place

Our temperature would climb There'd be a long embrace

We'd do another dance It'd be another play

Looking for romance?

Come back another day

Another day

The heart may freeze

Or it can burn

The pain will ease

If I can learn

There is no future

There is no past

I live this moment as

My last

There's only us

There's only this

Forget regret

Or life is yours to miss

No other road

No other way

No day but today

Excuse me if I'm off track

But if you're so wise Then tell me

Why do you need smack?

Take your needle

Take your fancy prayer

Don't forget, Get the moonlight out of your hair

Long ago you might have Lit up my heart

But the fire's dead Ain't never ever gonna start

Another time Another place

The words would only rhyme We'd be in outer space

It'd be another song We'd sing another way

You wanna prove me wrong? Come back another day

Another day

There's only yes

Only tonight

We must let go

To know what's right

No other course

No other way

No day but today

I can't control

Control your temper

My destiny

She doesn't see

I trust my soul

- Who says that there's a soul? - My only goal

Is just to be

Just let me be

- Who do you think you are? - There's only now, there's only here

- Barging in on me and my guitar - Give in to love, or live in fear

- Little girl, hey - No other path

- The door is that way - No other way

No day but today

The fire's out anyway

No day but today

Take your powder Take your candle

No day but today

Take your brown eyes, Your pretty smile, your silhouette

No day but today

Another time, another place, Another rhyme, a warm embrace

No day but today

Another dance, Another way, another chance

Another day

No day but today

- Speak. - Speak.

Mark, Roger, it's Benny.

Look, you still got a few hours to stop Maureen's protest.

My offer expires after dark.

Hey.

How you doing?

- Look, about last night... - I don't wanna talk about it.

You know, Mimi's gonna be at Maureen's show tonight.

You should come too.

I'd hate to see you pass up something that could be good for you.

You'll only regret it.

I'll live.

Right.

Will I lose my dignity?

Will someone care?

Will I wake tomorrow

From this nightmare?

Will I lose my dignity?

Will someone care?

Will I wake tomorrow

From this nightmare?

- Will I lose my dignity? - Will I lose my dignity?

Will someone care?

Will someone care?

- Will I wake tomorrow - Will I wake tomorrow

From this nightmare?

I am so glad you came, man.

- I'm proud of you. - Thanks.

Come on, get up.

Come on, let's go.

- Wake up. - This ain't a campground.

Let's go. You gotta go.

Christ, it's a lady. Come on, ma'am, you gotta get up.

Smile for Ted Koppel, officers.

Who do you think you are?

I don't need no goddamn help...

...from some bleeding-heart cameraman.

My life's not for you to make a name for yourself on.

Easy, sugar, easy. He was just trying...

Just trying to use me to kill his guilt.

It's not that kind of movie, honey.

This place is full of artists.

Hey, artist, you got a dollar?

Didn't think so.

New York City

- Center of the universe - Sing it, girl.

Times are shitty, but I'm pretty sure They can't get worse

- I hear that. - It's a comfort to know

When you're singing The hit-the-road blues

That anywhere else you could Possibly go after New York would be

A pleasure cruise

Now you're talking.

Well, I'm thwarted by a Metaphysic puzzle

And I'm sick of grading papers, That I know

I'm shouting in my sleep I need a muzzle

And all this misery pays no salary So

Let's open up a restaurant In Santa Fe

Sunny Santa Fe would be nice

We'll open up a restaurant In Santa Fe

And leave this To the roaches and mice

- You teach? - Yeah, I teach.

Computer Age Philosophy.

When my students would rather watch TV.

- America. - America.

You're a sensitive aesthete

Brush the sauce onto the meat

You can make the menu Sparkle with a rhyme

You can drum a gentle drum

I can seat guests as they come

Chatting not about Heidegger, But wine

- Santa Fe - Our labors would reap financial gain

- Gain - Gain

- Gain - We'll open up

A restaurant in Santa Fe

- When you're worn out and tired - I'll cover you

With a thousand sweet kisses

- When your heart has expired - I'll cover you

- Oh, lover - Oh, lover

- I'll cover you - I'll cover you

- Yeah - Yeah

- Oh, lover - Oh, lover

- I'll cover you - I'll cover you

I'm gonna celebrate tonight.

All right, cool.

- The usual. - Cool.

- Hey. - Hey. Can I talk to you for a sec...?

Hey. Lover boy. You steal my client, you die.

You didn't miss me, you won't miss her.

Look around. Got plenty of customers.

Look.

About last night, I'm sorry.

- I don't know what the... - Just forget it.

I was out of line. Can I make it up to you?

How?

Bunch of us are getting together tonight.

At the Life Caf? after Maureen's show.

Yeah?

Would you like to come with me?

Sure. I'd like that.

So you're a tough guy?

No. Not really.

That's pretty good.

Over there. The guy with the glasses.

Right there.

- Angel. - Mimi.

Oh, my God, you look so good.

Maureen! Maureen! Maureen!

Last night I had a dream.

I found myself in a desert called Cyberland.

It was hot.

My canteen had sprung a leak, and I was...

...thirsty.

Out of the abyss walked a cow.

Elsie.

I asked if she had anything to drink. She said:

"I'm forbidden to produce milk

In Cyberland we only drink

Diet Coke"

She said:

"Only thing to do

Is jump over the moon"

I

Gotta get out of here

It's like I'm being tied to the hood Of a yellow rental truck

Being packed in With fertilizer and fuel oil

Pushed over a cliff By a suicidal Mickey Mouse

I've

Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta

Gotta, gotta find a way

To jump over the moon

Only thing to do Is jump over the moon

Yeah! Go, Maureen!

Then a little bulldog entered.

His name, we have learned, was Benny.

And although he once had principles...

...he abandoned them to live as a lapdog...

...to a wealthy daughter of the revolution.

A one, two, three "That's bull," he said

"Ever since the cat took up the fiddle That cow's been jumpy

The dish and the spoon were evicted From the table and eloped

She's had trouble with that milk And the moon ever since

Maybe it's a female thing

'Cause who'd wanna leave Cyberland anyway?

Walls ain't so bad

The dish and the spoon, for instance, They're down on their luck

They come knockin' On my doghouse door

And I say, 'Not in my back yard, utensils.

Go back to China"'

"The only way out is up," Elsie whispered to me.

"A leap

Of faith"

- Yeah. - That's it.

"Still thirsty?"

"Parched."

"Have some milk."

And I lowered myself beneath her swollen udder...

...and I sucked the sweetest milk I had ever tasted.

"Climb onboard," she said.

And as a harvest moon rose over Cyberland...

...we reared back, we sprang into a gallop...

...leaping out of orbit.

I awoke, singing...

Leap of faith Leap of faith

Leap of faith Leap of faith

Only thing to do

Only thing to do is jump

Only thing to do is Jump over the moon

Only thing to do is Jump over the moon

Over the moon

Over the...

Moo with me.

Yes. Who is that? Come on. Moo with me.

Yes. Come on, sir.

Don't be shy. Let it go. Moo with me.

Let it rip.

Yes. Let it go, New York City.

Yeah.

Hey, get off, man.

Just calm down. Take it easy now, all right?

Back off.

Hey, hey, hey. Guys, it's okay. It's okay. Just keep cool.

Come on, move back.

- Take it easy, all right? - This is supposed be a peace...

Officer, please.

Look, just keep... Hey. Please. Everyone, be calm.

Everyone, please.

Oh, my God.

Stop it.

- Get off of me. - Let go of him.

- Collins. - Get off of her.

Get off of me.

- Get off of me. - Get off her.

- Let's get out of here. This way. - Go, go, go.

Everyone, be cool.

Stop, this is peaceful.

Please.

Benny got exactly what he wanted.

He screws up my show, he gets all these people arrested.

Cops won't hold them for long. They'll let them go in a few hours.

- Oh, there they are. - You all right?

- Yes. Yes. - Joanne?

- Collins. - Nice to meet you.

- Angel. - Nice to meet you.

- Oh, it's cold. Let's go inside, okay? - Yeah.

Hi, baby. Thank you.

Wait, where's Mark?

I don't know, man. Let's wait for him inside. Come on.

Let's go.

- Hey. - Hey. Are you all right?

I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine.

Tonight on the 11:00 news, the lead story is gonna be your show.

- How do you know that? - They bought my footage of the riot.

- They're gonna see the whole thing. - Congratulations.

- Thank you. - Good work, Mark.

- You serious? - Yes.

How can I repay you?

Let the boy buy us dinner.

- Okay. - Oh, no.

Please, no. No, not tonight.

- Please leave. - What? Why?

You sit here all night, and you never order anything.

That's a lie. Last week I had a tea.

You couldn't pay.

- Oh, yeah. - Yeah.

Tonight we can. Come on.

Fine. Just please don't move the tables.

Let's put these tables together.

- Slide this way. Put these together. - No. No, no, no.

Hey, Doodles.

Well, if you get back to me, let's say by early next week...

...we can break ground, I'm thinking, mid-January.

Benjamin Coffin III.

The enemy of Avenue A.

You got a whole lot of nerve showing your face here...

...after what just happened.

Listen, guys, this was not my fault.

- Go to hell. - Jerk.

You put the cops on standby.

- I didn't want it to get out of control. - Why did Muffy...

Allison.

- miss the show?

There... There was a death in the family.

Who died?

Our Akita.

- Evita. - Evita.

In honor of the death of bohemia...

...an impromptu salon will commence immediately following dinner.

Maureen Johnson, back from her spectacular...

...one-night engagement at the 11th Street lot...

...will perform tribal chants backwards...

...through her vocoder, accompanying herself on the electric cello.

Which she ain't never studied.

And Mark Cohen will preview his new documentary...

...about his inability to hold an erection on the High Holy Days.

And Mimi Marquez, clad only in bubblewrap...

...will perform her famous lawn-chair handcuff dance...

...to the sounds of iced tea being stirred.

And Roger will attempt to write a bittersweet, evocative song...

...that doesn't remind us of "Musetta's Waltz."

Angel Dumott Schunard will model the latest fall fashions from Paris...

...while accompanying herself on the 10-gallon plastic pickle tub.

And Collins will recount his exploits as anarchist...

...including his successful reprogramming...

...of the MIT retro-reality equipment to self-destruct...

...as it broadcasts the words:

Actual reality. ACT UP. Fight AIDS.

Hey, Mimi. Mimi.

Mimi, give me your New Year's resolutions.

I'm giving up my vices. I'm going back to school.

Oh, that's very good. How about you, Roger?

- Finish a song. - Yeah, maybe this year?

And who are you two supposed to be?

- Bond. James Bond. - And Pussy Galore. In person.

Very nice.

What you want, huh?

Well, you can take the girl out of Hicksville...

...but you can't take the Hicksville out of the girl.

Heard you got a job offer.

No, it was just that sleazy news show Buzzline wants to take a meeting.

We're gonna need an agent.

- "We"? - Hey, listen, mister.

I am the reason you got on TV in the first place.

Oh, my God. You know what? We'll do another protest.

And this time you can shoot the entire thing for the TV show.

No, I'm not interested, I'm sorry.

What? Why not?

Because working for a show like Buzzline, that's completely selling out.

Okay. But it's nice to dream.

- Well, maybe. - Happy New Year.

Happy New Year.

Give me that. I'm sick and tired of you always...

- Maureen. You're gonna break it. - Hi, Mark.

- Happy New Year. - This is not my bar mitzvah.

Give it back to me.

Out of all the years I've been in New York...

...I've never gone to Times Square for New Year's.

- Really? - I don't think I wanna do it again.

- I think that was enough. - It was a little like a moo-fest.

- Mark. - What?

Check out the door.

What the hell is that?

Guys, there's a padlock on the door.

Benny.

Hold on. Hold this, honey.

I saw this on television. Watch.

Baby, what you doing?

You'll see.

Be careful, now.

- You're drunk. - No, I'm not.

Okay, watch.

- That's so heavy. - Watch your fingers.

That's my girl.

- Yeah. - Nothing like Pussy.

- Let's go. - Here you go, baby.

- Thank you. - Door open.

- That's a full-service woman. - That was great.

- Gonna put that trash can back? - No.

Oh, damn.

Typical.

He took all our stuff.

Mine too.

What a fricking sweetheart.

What do we do now?

Well, technically, now that you're inside...

...you're squatters. You can't be arrested.

Benny can't throw you out on the street.

It'll give you and Roger time to get some money together.

There's always Buzzline.

Oh, my God, my stomach doesn't feel right.

You'll be fine.

Is what I'm wearing okay? Does this look right?

Yeah, you look really good.

Do you think this belt is too much, though?

- I can't do this. - Come on.

- I can't do this. - Yes, you can. I'll do all the talking.

- What are you doing? - Stop fussing. We're late.

Oh, my God, look at this place.

Yeah, it's corporate America. Welcome.

- Hi. We're here to see Alexi Darling. - Hi.

- Your name? - Joanne Jefferson and Mark Cohen.

I'm Maureen Johnson.

Maybe you should wait out here.

- But I'm the one... - We don't wanna come on too strong.

Alexi, Joanne Jefferson and Mark Cohen here to see you.

Okay. Fine.

Whatever.

How much did I love your footage?

So much. It reminded me of my Berkeley days.

Fighting the good fight.

- Kudos. Kudos. - Thank you.

I wanted to let you know that I've also been working on a documentary...

...about the homeless and people with HIV.

Great. I love it. So fresh, edgy.

Everything Buzzline's about.

- Really? - We may dip into the tabloid side.

Guilty as charged. But we are a news show.

And your client has a fresh eye to bring real stories to an audience...

...and that's what we want.

We get the real programming...

...he gets the network exposure. Not a bad way to start a career, by the way.

So, what do you think?

Yes. What about salary?

On commission.

On an escalating scale. Start at $3000.

You're not gonna get a better deal than that.

We'll take it.

Congratulations.

- I sold my soul. - For 3 grand a segment.

You ain't got nothing without my protest.

Does everything have to be about you?

Me? You're the one helping my ex-boyfriend.

He needed a lawyer.

I figured I could help out, since you got them evicted.

You know what? Why don't the two of you get an accountant's ledger...

...and a bottle of champagne and go at it.

Invite the girl you were just flirting with to join us and I will.

Oh, my God. Come on, Pookie. I was just being friendly.

- My God. - What do you want, huh?

I'll do anything. You want me to be your slave?

You want me to just obey your every wish?

Tell me what you want.

Commitment.

That's all?

Why didn't you say so in the first place?

What?

All you have to do is ask...

...and I'm yours.

Will you commit to me?

To be with only me for the rest of our lives?

I will.

I do.

This can't be happening.

I'd like to welcome everyone...

...and congratulate my daughter Joanne.

On... On her wonderful choice of a life partner, Maureen Johnson.

My husband and I would also like to welcome Maureen's parents...

...Eddie and Nancy Johnson, into our family.

Would everyone please stand?

And let's raise a glass to toast the future of Joanne and Maureen.

Hear, hear.

Cheers.

I love you, baby.

Thanks, Mom.

You got engaged.

Thanks, Dad.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- Thanks. - Cheers.

- Congratulations. - Hi. Thank you.

Got anything stronger than this?

Only champagne and wine, unfortunately.

Hi.

Thank you.

You know, Maureen didn't even let me really congratulate her yet.

I know, because...

- Where'd you get this necklace? - Oh, just downtown.

Could you excuse me for a minute?

- Hi. Could you excuse us a minute? - Hi, baby.

Thank you.

- What's up? - What the hell are you doing?

What? We were just talking.

- Right. - Pookie, we were just talking.

Maureen, please, do not do this today.

Excuse me, sir, can you hold this, please?

- Certainly. - Thanks.

You know what, Miss Ivy League?

I can't take much more of this.

This obsessive-compulsive, control-freak paranoia.

- What? - I didn't pierce my nipples...

...because it grossed you out.

I didn't stay at the Kink Club last night because you wanted to go home.

You flirted with the woman in rubber.

There will always be women in rubber flirting with me.

Give me a break.

Every single day I walk down the street

I hear people say "Baby's so sweet"

Ever since puberty Everybody stares at me

Boys, girls, I can't help it, baby

So be kind And don't lose your mind

Just remember that I'm your baby

Take me for what I am

Who I was meant to be

And if you give a damn

Take me, baby, or leave me

So be mine And don't waste my time

Crying, "Oh, honey bear, Are you still my, my

I hate mess But I love you

What to do With my impromptu baby

So be wise 'Cause this girl satisfies

You've got a prize But don't compromise

You're one lucky baby

- Take me for what I am - A control freak.

- Who I was meant to be - A snob, yet overattentive.

- And if you give a damn - A lovable, droll geek.

- Take me, baby, or leave me - An anal-retentive.

- That's it - That's it

The straw that breaks my back

- I quit - I quit

Unless you take it back

- Women - Women

What is it about them?

- Can't live with them or without them - Can't live with them or without them

Maybe now you two can get back together.

- Well, actually, I'm... - Come on, let's go.

Hey, guys, all our shit's back.

Benny, what's going on?

I'm here to put an end to this war.

- What changed your mind? - Mimi did, actually.

We hadn't seen each other in a while. So we had dinner, we talked...

...and she convinced me to rethink the situation.

Look, I regret the unlucky circumstances...

Circumstance? Benny, you padlocked our door...

...and you took all of our stuff. - Right.

Which is why I'm here offering a new lease. All right?

Look, we don't need your charity.

Should cover us for a little while.

Where'd you get this?

It's my first advance.

Okay. Congratulations.

Excuse me.

Roger...

...nothing happened.

Benny and me, it's over. We had a thing once...

...but it was two years ago. - It doesn't matter.

- It was before I met you. - I don't care.

It's right...

...that today's Halloween.

It was Angel's favorite holiday.

I knew we'd hit it off the moment we met.

There was this skinhead that was harassing her...

...and she just walked right up to him and said:

"I'm more of a man than you'll ever be...

...and more of a woman than you'll ever get."

And then there was this time...

...he walked up to this group of tourists...

...and they were petrified...

...because, A, they were obviously lost...

...and, B, had probably never spoken to a drag queen before in their lives.

And he...

She...

...just offered to escort them out of Alphabet City...

...and then let them take a picture with her...

...and then said she'd help them find the Circle Line.

So much more original than any of us.

You'd find an old tablecloth on the street and make a dress...

...and then the next year, sure enough...

...they'd be mass-producing them at the Gap.

You always said how lucky you were that we were all friends...

...but it was us, baby...

...who were the lucky ones.

Live in my house

I'll be your shelter

Just pay me back

With 1000 kisses

Be my lover

And I'll cover you Yeah

Open your door

I'll be your tenant

Don't got much baggage To lay at your feet

But sweet kisses I've got to spare

I'll be there and I'll cover you

I think they meant it When they said you can't buy love

Now I know you can rent it A new lease you are, my love

On life

All my life

I've longed to discover

Something as true as this is Yeah

So with a thousand sweet kisses

- lf you're cold and you're lonely - I'll cover you

It's true you sold your guitar And bought a car?

It's true I'm leaving now for Santa Fe

It's true you're with This yuppie scum?

You said you'd never Speak to him again

- Not now. - Who said that you have any say

- In who she says things to at all? - Yeah.

Who said that you should stick Your nose in other people...?

Who said I was talking to you?

- We used to have this fight each night - Calm down

- She'd never admit I existed - Everyone, please

He was the same way He was always

Run away, hit the road, don't commit You're full of shit

- She's in denial - He's in denial

Didn't give an inch When I gave a mile

- I gave a mile - Gave a mile to who?

Come on, guys, chill.

I'd be happy to die For a taste of what Angel had

- Someone to live for - Someone to live for

- Unafraid to say "I love you" - Unafraid to say "I love you"

All your words are nice, Mimi

But love's not a three-way street

You'll never share real love

Until you love yourself I should know

You all said you'd be cool today

So please, for my sake

I can't believe he's gone

I can't believe you're going

I can't believe this family must die

Angel helped us believe in love

I can't believe you disagree

I can't believe this is

Goodbye

Don't breathe too deep

Don't think all day

Dive into work

Drive the other way

That drip of hurt

That pint of shame

Goes away Just play the game

You're living in America

At the end of the millennium

You're living in America

Leave your conscience at the tone

And when you're living in America

At the end of the millennium

You're what you own

The filmmaker cannot see

And the songwriter cannot hear

Yet I see Mimi everywhere

Angel's voice is in my ear

Just tighten those shoulders

Just clench yourjaw till you frown

Just don't let go

- Or you may drown - Or you may drown

You're living in America

At the end of the millennium

- You're living in America - You're living in America

- Where it's like The Twilight Zone - Where it's like The Twilight Zone

- And when you're living in America - And when you're living in America

- At the end of the millennium - At the end of the millennium

- You're what you own - You're what you own

- So I own not a notion - So I own not a notion

- I escape and ape content - I escape and ape content

- I don't own emotion - I don't own emotion

- I rent - I rent

- What was it about that night? - What was it about that night?

- Connection in an isolating age - Connection in an isolating age

- For once the shadows - For once the shadows

- Gave way to light - Gave way to light

- For once I didn't disengage - For once I didn't disengage

- Angel, I hear you, I hear it, I see it - Mimi, I see you

- I see it, my film - I hear it, I hear it, I hear it, my song

- Alexi, Mark. Call me a hypocrite... - One song, glory

...I need to finish my own film. I quit. - Mimi, your eyes

Dying in America

At the end of the millennium

- We're dying in America - We're dying in America

- To come into our own - To come into our own

- And when you're dying in America - And when you're dying in America

- At the end of the millennium - At the end of the millennium

- You're not alone - You're not alone

- I'm not alone - I'm not alone

- I'm not alone - I'm not alone

- Speak. - Speak.

Hey, guys, it's Benny.

Look, I was wondering if you've seen Mimi.

I haven't seen her in a couple of weeks.

She dropped out of rehab...

...and I'm afraid that she may have started using again.

- lf you find out anything, let me know. - Hi, Roger, Mark...

...it's Maureen. Still no sign of Mimi. - I just wanna know if she's all right.

- Joanne and I printed up some fliers. - Hey, it's Collins. Just checking in.

- I'll call back if we hear anything. - You heard from Mimi?

Roger, I spoke to the manager of the Cat Scratch Club.

- She hasn't shown up for work. - Roger, are you there?

Look, I just went to the police station and I filed a missing-persons report.

I spoke to a friend of Mimi's who said she saw her three weeks ago.

She hasn't picked up her AZT in a while.

- She's been living on the street. - Couple of weeks.

It's Collins again. I should be heading home, like, right around Christmas.

I'm really starting to get worried. It's getting cold out there.

- It's too cold out there. - How can she survive?

December 24th, 1990, 10 p.m., Eastern Standard Time.

I can't believe a year went by so fast.

- Speak. - Speak.

- Hey, it's me, throw down the key. - Hey, look who's home.

Hey, Collins, don't get your ass kicked this time.

- Hey. Merry Christmas. - Merry Christmas.

Welcome back.

Come here.

Take your key. Hey, man.

Hello, Thomas. Merry Christmas.

- Hey, any word from Mimi? - No.

You got the projector... You finished your movie.

- I did. - Well, I wanna see it.

Okay.

And I thought you guys could use this to get some heat up in here.

- You shouldn't have done that. - Thank you.

- Tutoring again? - Nope.

- You back at NYU? - Negative.

- Then how'd you get all this? - I rewired the ATM...

...at The Food Emporium. Now all you need is the code.

- The code? What code? - A-N-G-E-L.

Cheers.

Merry Christmas.

Mark?

Roger?

Anyone? Help.

We can't get her up the stairs.

Hurry up, please.

Mimi.

She's been living on the street.

We found her in the park. She wanted to come here.

No room on the couch.

Just clear off the table, we'll put her there.

Up here.

Roger.

- You're back. - I'm back. I'm back, baby.

Rog.

- We need some heat. - Okay, I'll buy some wood and food.

- It's too late. I'm calling 911. - Roger?

I'm right here. I'm right here. It's okay.

I'm here. We got you.

We got you.

I should tell you I should tell you

I should tell you I should tell you

I should tell you Benny wasn't any...

I know.

I should tell you why I left

- It wasn't 'cause I didn't... - I know.

- I should tell you - I should tell you

I should tell you, I love you

Who do you think you are?

Leaving me alone with my guitar

Hold on, there's something You should hear

It isn't much, but it took all year

Your eyes

As we said our goodbyes

Can't get them out of my mind

And I find

I can't hide

From your eyes

The ones that took me by surprise

The night you came into my life

Where there's moonlight

I see your eyes

How'd I let you slip away

When I'm longing so to hold you?

Now I'd die for one more day

'Cause there's something I should have told you

Yes, there's something I should have told you

When I looked into your eyes

Why does distance make us wise?

You were the song all along

And before the song dies

I should tell you I should tell you

I have always loved you

You can see it in my eyes

Mimi

Mimi.

I was heading towards this warm...

...white light.

And I swear...

...Angel was there.

And she looked good.

She said:

"Turn around, girlfriend...

...and listen to that boy's song."

You're drenched.

Her fever's breaking.

There is no future

There is no past

Thank God this moment's Not the last

- There's only us - There's only us

- There's only this - There's only this

- Forget regret - Forget regret

Or life is yours to miss

No other road

No other way

No day but today

- I can't control - Will I lose my dignity?

- My destiny - Will someone care?

- I trust my soul - Will I wake tomorrow

My only goal

- Is just to be - From this nightmare?

- Without you - There's only now

- The hand gropes - There's only here

- The ear hears - Give in to love

- The pulse beats - Or live in fear

- Life goes on - No other path

- But I'm gone - No other way

- 'Cause I die without you - No day but today

- I die without you - No day but today

- I die without you - No day but today

- I die without you - No day but today

- I die without you - No day but today

- I die without you - No day but today

No day but today
