Finale (The Lot And The Loft)

ALL SEVEN HOMELESS

Christmas bells are ringing

Christmas bells are ringing

Christmas bells are ringing

How time flies

When compassion dies

No stockings

No candy canes

No gingerbread

No safety net

No loose change

No change no

ONE HOMELESS MAN

Santy Claus is coming

ALL

'Cause Santy Claus ain't coming

No room at the Holiday Inn - again

Well, maybe next year

Or - when

MARK

December 24th, ten p.m. Eastern standard time

I can't believe

A year went by so fast

Time to see -

What we have - time to see

Turn the projector on

MARK

First shot Roger

With the Fender guitar

He just got out of hock

When he sold the car

That took him away and back

ROGER

I found my song

MARK

He found his song

If he could just find Mimi

ROGER

I tried - You know I tried

MARK

Fade in on Mark

Who's still in the dark

ROGER

But he's got great footage

MARK

Which he's cut together

ROGER

To screen tonight

MARK

In honor of Benny's wife

ROGER

Muffy

MARK

Alison

Pulling Benny out of

The East Village location

ROGER

Then again.

Maybe we won't screen it tonight.

MARK

I wonder how Alison

Found out about Mimi?

ROGER

Maybe a little bird told her.

COLLINS

Or an angel.

I had a little hunch that

You could use a little flow

ROGER

Tutoring again?

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

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!

MAUREEN

She was huddled in the park

In the dark

And she was freezing

And begged to come here

ROGER

Over here

Oh, God

MIMI

Got a light - I know you -

You're shivering...

JOANNE

She's been living on the street

ROGER

We need some heat

MIMI

I'm shivering

MARK

We can buy some wood

And something to eat

COLLINS

I'm afraid

She needs more than heat

MIMI

I heard that

MAUREEN

Collins

Will call for a doctor, honey

MIMI

Don't waste your money on

Mimi, me, me

COLLINS

Hello - 911?

I'm on hold

MIMI

Cold...cold...

Would you light my candle?

ROGER

Yes, we'll, oh God -

Find a candle

MIMI

I should tell you

I should tell you

ROGER

I should tell you

I should tell you

MIMI

I should tell you

Benny wasn't any -

ROGER

Shhh - I know

I should tell you why I left

It wasn't cause I didn't -

MIMI

I know

I should tell you

ROGER

I should tell you

MIMI

I should tell you

I love you -

ROGER

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
