[00:00:30] (The COMPANY bursts into a flurry of movement. Then everyone

[00:00:38] except MARK and ROGER freezes in a group upstage.)

[00:00:42] MARK

[00:00:45] How do you document real life

[00:00:46] When real life is getting more

[00:00:48] Like fiction each day

[00:00:49] Headlines --bread-lines

[00:00:52] Blow my mind

[00:00:53] And now this deadline

[00:00:55] "Eviction --or pay"

[00:00:58] Rent!

[00:01:00] ROGER

[00:01:00] How do you write a song

[00:01:08] When the chords sound wrong

[00:01:14] Though they once sounded right and rare

[00:01:19] When the notes are sour

[00:01:22] Where is the power

[00:01:29] You once had to ignite the air

[00:01:30] MARK

[00:01:32] And we're hungry and frozen

[00:01:37] ROGER

[00:01:38] Some life that we've chosen

[00:01:41] TOGETHER

[00:01:42] How we gonna pay

[00:01:50] How we gonna pay

[00:02:12] How we gonna pay

[00:02:13] Last year's rent

[00:02:14] MARK

[00:02:15] We light candles

[00:02:15] ROGER

[00:02:16] How do you start a fire

[00:02:18] When there's nothing to burn

[00:02:22] And it feels like something's stuck in your flue

[00:02:27] MARK

[00:02:27] How can you generate heat

[00:02:28] When you can't feel your feet

[00:02:29] BOTH

[00:02:31] And they're turning blue!

[00:02:32] MARK

[00:02:32] You light up a mean blaze

[00:02:42] (ROGER grabs one of his own posters.)

[00:02:44] ROGER

[00:02:45] With posters --

[00:02:46] (MARK grabs old manuscripts.)

[00:03:28] Don't screen, Maureen

[00:03:29] It's me --Joanne

[00:03:30] Your substitute production manager

[00:03:32] Hey hey hey!(Did you eat?)

[00:03:33] Don't change the subject Maureen

[00:03:35] But darling --you haven't eaten all day

[00:03:38] You won't throw up

[00:03:42] You won't throw up

[00:03:44] The digital delay ---

[00:03:45] Didn't blow up (exactly)

[00:03:47] There may have been one teeny tiny spark

[00:03:54] You're not calling Mark

[00:03:59] COLLINS

[00:03:59] How do you stay on your feet

[00:04:03] When on every street

[00:04:04] It's 'trick or treat'

[00:04:06] (And tonight it's 'trick')

[00:04:06] 'Welcome back to town'

[00:04:09] Oh, I should lie down

[00:04:12] Everything's brown

[00:04:12] And uh --oh

[00:04:15] I feel sick

[00:04:15] MARK

[00:04:16] (At the window)

[00:04:17] Where is he?

[00:04:18] COLLINS

[00:04:18] Getting dizzy

[00:04:25] (MARK and ROGER stoke the fire. Crosscut to BENNY's Range

[00:04:29] Rover.)

[00:04:30] BENNY

[00:04:31] Alison baby --you sound sad

[00:04:32] I don't believe those two after everything I've done

[00:04:39] Ever since our wedding I'm dirt --They'll see

[00:04:41] I can help them all out in the long run

[00:04:44] BENNY

[00:04:45] Forces are gathering

[00:04:46] Forces are gathering

[00:04:47] Can't turn away

[00:04:47] Forces are gathering

[00:04:49] COLLINS

[00:04:49] Ughhhhh--

[00:04:50] Ughhhhh--

[00:04:50] Ughhhhh--I can't think

[00:04:50] Ughhhhh--

[00:04:51] Ughhhhh--

[00:04:51] Ughhhhh--I need a drink

[00:04:53] MARK (reading from a script page)

[00:04:55] "The music ignites the night with passionate fire"

[00:04:59] JOANNE

[00:04:59] Maureen --I'm not a theatre person

[00:05:03] ROGER

[00:05:09] "The narration crackles and pops with incendiary wit"

[00:05:12] JOANNE

[00:05:13] Could never be a theatre person

[00:05:16] MARK

[00:05:17] Zoom in as they burn the past to the ground

[00:05:20] JOANNE (realizing she's been cut off)

[00:05:39] MARK &HALF THE COMPANY

[00:05:41] How do you leave the past behind

[00:05:47] When it keeps finding ways to get to your heart

[00:05:53] It reaches way down deep and tears you inside out

[00:05:54] Till you're torn apart

[00:05:58] Rent!

[00:05:59] ROGER &OTHER HALF OF COMPANY

[00:06:02] How can you connect in an age

[00:06:05] Where strangers, landlords, lovers

[00:06:06] Your own blood cells betray

[00:06:10] ALL

[00:06:11] What binds the fabric together

[00:06:18] When the raging, shifting winds of change

[00:06:21] Keep ripping away

[00:06:23] BENNY

[00:06:24] Draw a line in the sand

[00:06:31] And then make a stand

[00:06:32] ROGER

[00:06:33] Use your camera to spar

[00:06:34] MARK

[00:06:35] Use your guitar

[00:06:35] ALL
