Happy New Year B by Rent
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 a scheme
JOANNE
Me too
MAUREEN
We can plan another protest
JOANNE
We?!
MAUREEN
This time
You can shoot from the start
You'll direct
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 hand 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
