Happy New Year (The Street)

MIMI
How long till next year?

ROGER
Three and half minutes

MIMI
I'm giving up my vices
I'm going back, back to school
Eviction or not
This week's been so hot
That long as I've got you
I know I'll be cool
I couldn't crack the love code, dear
'Til you made the lock on my heart explode
It's gonna be
A happy new year
A happy new year

MARK
Coast is clear
You're supposed to be working
That's for midnight
Where are they?
There isn't much time

MIMI
Maybe they're dressing
I mean what does one wear That's apropos for a party -
That's also a crime

MAUREEN
Chips, anyone?

MARK
You can take the girl
Out of Hicksville
But you can't take the Hicksville out of the girl

MAUREEN
My riot got you on TV
I deserve a royalty

MIMI
Be nice, you two
Or no God-awful champagne

MAUREEN
Don't mind if I do
No luck?

ROGER
Bolted plywood
Padlocked with a chain
A total dead end

MAUREEN
Just like my ex-girlfriend
(on the cellular phone) Honey...?
I know you're there ...
Please pick up the phone
Are you okay?
It's not funny
It's not fair
How can I atone?
Are you okay?
I lose control
But I can learn to behave
Give me one more chance
Let me be your slave
I'll kiss your Doc Martens
Let me kiss your Doc Martens
Your every wish I will obey

JOANNE
That might be okay
Down girl
Heel...stay
I did a bit of research
With my friends at legal aid
Technically, you're squatters
There's hope
But just in case

MARK & JOANNE
Rope

MARK
We can hoist a line -

JOANNE
To the fire escape -

MARK
And tie off at

MARK & JOANNE
That bench!

MAUREEN
I can't take them as chums

JOANNE
Start hoisting...wench

ROGER
I think I should be laughing
Yet I forget
Forget how to begin
I'm feeling something inside
And yet I still can't decide
If I should hide
Or make a wide-open grin
Last week
I wanted just to disappear
My life was dust
But now it just may be
A happy new year
A happy new year

COLLINS
Bond - James Bond

ANGEL
And Pussy Galore - in person

MIMI
Pussy - you came prepared

ANGEL
I was a boy scout once
And a brownie
'Til some brat got scared

COLLINS
Aha! Moneypenny - my martini!

MIMI
Will bad champagne do?

ROGER
That's shaken - not stirred

COLLINS
Pussy - the bolts

ANGEL
Just say the word!

MIMI
Two minutes left to execute our plan

COLLINS
Where's everyone else?

ROGER
Playing Spiderman

MARK
Ironic close up: tight
On the phone machine's red light
Once the Boho boys are gone
The power mysteriously comes on
