Rent: Filmed Live on Broadway Page #8

- What is so difficult about that?

- It just doesn't roll off my tongue.

I like my version.

You, dressed as a groundhog

to protest the groundbreaking?

- It's a metaphor.

- It's less than brilliant.

- That's it, Miss Ivy League.

- What?

Ever since New Year's,

I haven't said boo.

I let you direct.

Didn't pierce my nipples

because it grossed you out.

I didn't dance that night

because you wanted to go home.

You were flirting with the woman

in rubber!

That's what this is about?

There will always be women

in rubber flirting with me.

Give me a break.

Every single day

I walk down the street

I hear people say, "Baby"

It's so sweet

Ever since puberty

Everybody stares at me

Boys, girls, I can't help it, baby

So be kind

And don't lose your mind

Just remember that I'm your baby

Take me for what I am

Who I was meant to be

And if you give a damn

Take me, baby, or leave me

Take me, baby, or leave me

A tiger in a cage

Can never see the sun

This diva needs her stage

Baby, let's have fun

You are the one I choose

Folks would kill to fill your shoes

You love

The limelight too, baby

So be mine

Or don't waste my time

Crying, "Oh, honey bear

Are you still my baby?"

Take me for what I am

Who I was meant to be

And if you give a damn

Take me, baby, or leave me

No way can I be what I'm not

But, hey, don't you want

Your girl hot?

Don't fight

Don't lose your head

'Cause every night

Who's in your bed?

Who?

Who's in your bed?

- Kiss, Pookie.

- It won't work.

I look before I leap

I love margins and discipline

I make lists in my sleep, baby

What's my sin?

Never quit

I follow through

I hate mess

But I love you

What to do

With my impromptu baby?

So be wise

'Cause this girl satisfies

You got a prize

So don't compromise

You're one lucky baby

Take me for what I am

A control freak.

Who I was meant to be

A snob, yet overattentive.

And if you give a damn

A lovable, droll geek.

Take me, baby, or leave me

An anal-retentive.

- That's it

- That's it

The straw that breaks my back

- I quit

- I quit

Unless you take it back

- Women

- Women

What is it about them?

- Can't live with them or without them

- Can't live with them or without them

- Take me for what I am

- Take me for what I am

- Who I was meant to be

- Who I was meant to be

- And if you give a damn

- And if you give a damn

You better take me, baby

- Oh, take me, baby

- Or leave me

Take me or leave me

- Take me, baby

- Take me, baby

- Or leave me

- Or leave me

- Guess I'm leaving

- Guess I'm leaving

- I'm gone

- I'm gone

In diapers, report cards

In spoked wheels, in speeding tickets

In contracts, dollars

In funerals, in births

In 525,600 minutes

How do you figure

A last year on Earth?

Figure in love

Figure in love

Figure in love

Measure in love

Seasons of love

Seasons of love

- Where were you?

- Sorry.

No, you lost your keys.

No, you went for a walk.

Had to help your mother.

- How's Benny?

- Baby-

- I'm working upstairs tonight.

- Wait.

I should tell you

I should-

Never mind.

Happy Spring.

Without you

The ground thaws

The rain falls

The grass grows

Without you

The seeds root

The flowers bloom

The children play

The stars gleam

The poets dream

The eagles fly

Without you

The Earth turns

The sun burns

But I die without you

Without you

The breeze warms

The girl smiles

The cloud moves

Without you

The tides change

The boys run

The oceans crash

The crowds roar

The days soar

The babies cry

Without you

The moon glows

The river flows

But I die without you

The world revives

Colors renew

- But I know blue

- But I know blue

- Only blue

- Only blue

- Lonely blue

- Lonely blue

Within me, blue

Without you

Without you

The hand gropes

The ear hears

The pulse beats

Without you

The eyes gaze

The legs walk

The lungs breathe

- The mind churns

- The mind churns

- The heart yearns

- The heart yearns

- The tears dry

- The tears dry

- Without you

- Without you

- Life goes on

- Life goes on

- But I'm gone

- But I'm gone

- 'Cause I die without you

- 'Cause I die

Without you

Without you

- Without you

- Without you

- Speak.

- Speak.

Mark Cohen, Alexi Darling

Labor Day weekend in East Hampton

On the beach

Just saw Alec Baldwin

Told him you said hi

Just kidding

We need directors

You still need money

You know you need money

Pick up the phone

Don't be afraid of ker-ching, ker-ching

Marky, sell us your soul

Just kidding

We're waiting

- Yes.

- Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, right there.

- You got it.

- Oh, you're gonna make me come.

Yeah, right there. Keep doing that.

Oh, yeah.

Hot, hot, hot, sweat, sweet

Wet, wet, wet, red heat

Hot, hot, hot, sweat, sweet

Wet, wet, wet, red heat

Please, don't stop, please

Please, don't stop, stop

Stop, stop, stop

Please, please

- Please

- Harder

- Faster

- Wetter

- Bastard

- You whore

- More

- You animal

- Sticky, licky, trickle, tickle

- Fluid, no fluid, no contact, yes

- Steamy, creamy, stroking, soaking

- Fire, fire, burn, burn

No latex rubber, rubber

Fire, latex rubber, latex bummer

Lover bummer

Take me, take me, take me

Take me, take me

Today for you

Tomorrow for me

Today me

Tomorrow you

Tomorrow you

Love you, love, love you

Love you, I love you

I love you

Take me, take me, take me

Take me, yeah

- Wait

- Slipped

- Sh*t

- Where'd it go?

- Safe

- Damn

I think I missed

Don't get pissed

It was bad for me

Was it bad for you?

- It's over

- It's over

- It's over

- It's over

It's over.

Angel was one of my closest friends.

It's right that it's Halloween

because it was her favorite holiday.

I knew we'd hit it off

the moment we met.

That skinhead was bothering her...

...and she said she was more of a man

than he'd ever be...

...and more of a woman

than he'd ever get.

And then there was a time...

...he walked up

to this group of tourists...

...and they were petrified...

...because, A, they were

obviously lost...

...and, B, had probably never spoken

to a drag queen before in their lives.

And he...

She...

...just offered to escort them

out of Alphabet City...

...and then she let them

take a picture with her...

...and then she said she'd help them

find the Circle Line.

So much more original

than any of us.

You'd find an old tablecloth

on the street and make a dress...

...and next year,

sure enough...

...they'd be mass-producing

them at the Gap.

You always said how lucky

you were that we were all friends...

...but it was us, baby...

...who were the lucky ones.

Live in my house

I'll be your shelter

Just pay me back

With 1000 kisses

Be my lover

And I'll cover you

Open your door

I'll be your tenant

Don't got much baggage

To lay at your feet

But sweet kisses I've got to spare

I'll be there and I'll cover you

I think they meant it

When they said you can't buy love

Now I know you can rent it

A new lease you are, my love

On life

All my life

I've longed to discover
