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?

BENNY

You said -

You'd never speak to him again

MIMI

Not now

MAUREEN

Who said that you have any say

In who she says things to at all?

ROGER

Yeah!

JOANNE

Who said that you should stick your nose in other people's...

MAUREEN

Who said

I was talking to you?

JOANNE

We used to have this fight each night

She'd never admit I existed

MARK

Calm down

Everyone please

MIMI

He was the same way

He was always

"Run away - hit the road

Don't commit" -

You're full of shit

BENNY

Mimi

JOANNE

She's in denial

MIMI

He's in denial

JOANNE

Didn't give an inch

When I gave a mile

MARK

Come on

MIMI

I gave a mile

ROGER

Gave a mile to who?

MARK & BENNY

Come on guys chill

MIMI & JOANNE

I'd be happy to die for

A taste of what Angel had

Someone to live for -

Unfraid to say

I love you

ROGER

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

COLLINS

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

ALL

I can't believe

This is goodbye

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

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

ROGER

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

Just came to say

Goodbye love

Goodbye love

Goodbye love

Goodbye

ROGER

Glory

One blaze of glory

Have to find

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
