Goodbye Love
Mimi:
You said that you were leaving town last week.
Roger:
You said that Benny was the most disgusting yuppy scum of the
earth.
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:
You said you'd stick to your own problems.
Maureen:
You said you'd give me some space!
Joanne:
Maureen, we have this fight each night! Why can't you admit you
need me?
Mark:
Everyone! Please!
Mimi:
He's the same way- he's 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!
Mimi:
I gave a mile!
Roger:
When you weren't trashed!
Mark & Benny:
C'mon guys! Chill!
Mimi & Joanne:
I'd be happy to die for a taste of what Angel had!
Maureen:
Oh, give up Joanne!
Mimi & Joanne:
Someone to live for!
Maureen:
I live for you! I do!
Mimi & Joanne:
Unafraid to say I love you!
Roger:
All your words are nice Mimi, but love's not a one-way street! You'll
never share real love until you love yourself - I should know!
Collins:
You all said that you'd be cool tonight - so please, for my sake!
I can't believe he's gone....
I can't believe you're going.
All:
I can't believe this is goodbye.
...everyone but Mark & Roger silently walk away...
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 if you face up to your pain!
At least now if you try Angel's death won't be in vain.
Roger:
His death is in vain!
Mark:
Use your right brain.
There's so much to care about- there's me, there's Mimi.
Roger:
Mimi's got her baggage too.
Mark:
So do you!
Roger:
I don't know what I am, what I know, what to do.
Mark:
Who does?
Roger:
Oh God, Mark! Don't you?
Mark:
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.
Roger:
From what?
Mark:
From facing my failure, facing my loneliness, facing the fact I live a
lie!
Roger:
You don't live a lie!
Tell you why- you've never finished your film cause the standards
you set for yourself are too high! But the fact remains that you're
the one of us with the talent and the drive. The fact remains Mark,
you're the one to survive.
Mark:
I know. I'm afraid the burden's gonna make me crack.
Roger:
If it does just let me know- I'll come back.
Mark:
Why's it easier to return to a friend then to burn with a lover till the
end?
Roger:
Not as much to lose!
Mark:
Mimi still loves Roger. Mimi's just with Benny because Mimi's getting
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:
Anything you need in Santa Fe....
Roger:
I'll be fine - make your film!
Mark:
Okay. Love you! Call.
Roger:
Love you too. I hate the fall.
...Mimi enters...
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!
Just came to say goodbye love.... goodbye love!
Goodbye love, goodbye.
Roger:
Right brain - how do I find the right brain? I lost my map!
Mimi:
Goodbye love.... goodbye love!
Came to say goodbye love, goodbye!
Just came to say goodbye love.... goodbye love!
Goodbye love.... hello disease.
Real Estate
Minister:
Hey! I said I didn't want you on these premises and I meant it!
What do you think? We give hand outs here?
Mark:
Is that any way to send a boy to meet his maker?
They should have known we couldn't pay the undertaker.
Benny:
What happened to rest in peace?
Mark:
It's true! And they wouldn't even take an IOU. I give up!
Benny:
Don't worry about him! I'll take care of it.
Allison make a note- church donation.
Mark:
It must be nice to have money.
Benny:
It is.
Mark:
I don't know why I do this anymore.
I'm all alone, my film's no prize-
But I've got the stuff- at least everybody says so.
My friends have flown or are dropping like flies,
and if that's not enough I'm in love with a lezbo!
My rent is due, my family's nuts.
I haven't had sex in a millennium.
I'm stuck with you, I hate your guts!
And it's only ten am!
Benny:
Have you considered real estate?
Mark:
Real estate?
Benny:
Real estate! Have you considered real estate, as a career? Could you
consider
real estate?
Mark:
Let me get this straight...
Benny:
Could be great!
Cohen and Coffin - like Helmsley and Spheare!
I know it may it sound silly- it's a notion I've had for a while.
Imagine us as affiliates: we could go to town!
My savvy- your smile!
There's art in every deal-
create with bricks and steel!
Mark:
Real estate... I don't know...
Blockbuster Rep:
What's with him?
Mark:
I start work I don't complete.
Am I uninspired, or just a perfectionist?
I'm such a jerk, I don't compete.
I can't get hired as a PA or a projectionist.
I hate my hair and my goatee.
I talk in my sleep, but no one's there to listen.
Why do I care about film or TV?
What they ever do for me?
Benny:
Have you considered real estate?
Blockbuster Rep:
Real estate.
Benny:
Real estate!
Mark:
I should consider real estate. My life is a dump.
Benny:
Do consider real estate!
Mark:
Real estate!
Benny:
We'll collaborate! Any fool can do it, witness Donald Trump!
Mark:
Maybe it's time to stop carousing, do something else more fulfilling.
Couldn't we build low income housing?
Benny:
That's an idea! I mean it! Really!
Mark:
It does have its appeal.
Benny:
Doing for the commonweal!
Mark & Benny:
Real estate!
Blockbuster Rep:
Anyway, there ain't no money in documentary film!
I said there ain't no money in documentary film!
And I know there ain't no money cause folks get funny-
they like things sunny, not truthful honey!
There ain't no money in documentary film!
Any idiot can turn on a camera and shoot hobos!
Developing property requires vision.
Take that site over there!
Last year empty lot - next year super store!
Last year filthy bum-
Mark:
Person!
Blockbuster Rep:
Okay filthy person!
Next year automatic double doors!
Last year cardboard boxes filled with strangers-
next year Might Morphin' Power Rangers!
Mark:
I'm doomed forever to be poor.
...simultaneously...
Blockbuster Rep:
Ain't no money in documentary films!
Ain't no money in documentary films!
There ain't no money cause folks get funny-
they like things sunny, not truthful honey!
There ain't no money in documentary films!
Mark:
Ain't no money in documentary films!
Ain't no money in documentary films!
I can't consider real estate, so sue me.
I can't consider real estate- I cannot deal.
I'll be fine, I'll give it a whirl.
The film may suck but I'll never stop.
I'll go find myself a girl.
You got that all- its definitely a lot!
...
Benny:
Meet you back in Scarsdale!
Blockbuster Rep:
Last year crummy boho goon- next year corporate tycoon!
Benny:
A team like Snow White and a Dwarf! Like Edwin Coch and Steven
Gorne!
Mark:
I'll never have that kind of zeal as my expose will soon reveal!
I'm just not cut out for....
All:
Real estate!
Open Road
Roger:
Open road....
Why does love erode?
Get away- you can't stay away!
Look away from the mirror now-
look straight out ahead, that's how.
But how can you let her go?
Let her go....
No, you can't her can't save the world-
better save your heart.
Start to close the door.... look for open road.
Open road....
Why can't I crack love's code?
Time to fly.... no time to say goodbye.
Goodbye!
Just try to forget her face-
just get yourself in the race.
There's a place that you have to go, have to go.
No, you can't heal their pain-
better heal your heart.
Start your motor up, take up open road.
There's a hit and run cat on the highway.
Another cat sits saying a prayer.
I swear as I pass she's glaring my way.
Where did my love go, cry her eyes!
Where did my love go?
Operator:
The number you have reached 675-8304 has been disconnected.
...dial tone...
Roger:
Where did my love go?
No, you can't forget her eyes,
but still protect your heart.
As you start for home- breathe it in and slow.
You don't have to go if your heart is open....
your heart is open.... your heart is open road!
