Happy New Year B
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... (to MARK) You'll direct (to JOANNE) Starring me!
(Lights shift back to downstairs.)
ALL 5, 4, 3... Open sesame!! (The door falls away, revealing MARK, JOANNE, and MAUREEN.) Happy new year Happy new year Happy new...
BENNY (entering) 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 s thinking about the whole mess Mark -- you want to get this on film
MARK (picking up his camera) 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 (BENNY hands him the key.)
ANGEL Golf claps (They oblige.)
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 I'd honestly rather be with you tonight than in Westport --
ROGER Spare us old sport, the soundbite
BENNY Mimi -- since your was are so seductive Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
MIMI You came on to me!
BENNY Persuade him not to be so counterproductive
ROGER Liar!
BENNY Why not tell them what you wore to my place?
MIMI I was on my way to work
BENNY Black leather and lace! My desk was a mess I think I'm still sore
MIMI Cause I kicked him and told him I wasn't his whore!
BENNY Does your boyfriend know Who your last boyfriend was?
ROGER I'm not her boyfriend I don't care what she does
ANGEL People! Is this any way to start a new year? Have compassion Benny just lost his cat
BENNY My dog -- but I appreciate that
ANGEL My cat had a fall And I went through hell
BENNY It's like losing a -- How did you know that she fell?

BENNY Don't mind if I do To dogs!
ALL BUT BENNY No, Benny -- To you!
ANGEL Let's make a resolution
MIMI I'll drink to that
COLLINS Let's always stay friends
JOANNE Tho' we may have our disputes
MAUREEN This family tree's got deep roots
MARK Friendship is thicker than blood
ROGER That depends
MIMI Depends on trust
ROGER Depends on true devotion
JOANNE Depends on love
MARK (to ROGER) Depends on not denying emotion
ROGER Perhaps
ALL It's gonna be a happy new year
ROGER I guess
ALL It's gonna be a happy new year
ROGER You're right
(ANGEL brings ROGER and MIMI together. ANGEL and others move away from MIMI and ROGER.)
ANGEL It's gonna be a happy new year
ROGER & MIMI I'm sorry
ROGER Coming?
MIMI In a minute -- I'm fine -- go
(ROGER kisses MIMI and exits. THE MAN appears.)
THE MAN Well, well, well. What have we here? (He walks over to MIMI and holds out a small plastic bag of white powder.) It's gonna be a happy new year There, there...etc.
(Fade out.)
