Mark
Tell the folks at home what you're doing Roger
Roger
I'm writing one great song --
Mark
The phone rings.
Roger
Yesss!
Mark
We screen.
Roger & Mark's Answering Machine
"Speak" ... ("Beeeep!")
Collins
"Chestnuts roasting ---"
Roger & Mark
Collins!
Collins
I'm downstairs
Mark
Hey!
Collins
Roger picked up the phone??
Mark
No, it's me.
Collins
Throw down the key.
Mark
A wild night is now pre-ordained
Collins
I may be detained.
Mark
What does he mean...?
(Phone rings again)
What do you mean - detained?
Benny
Ho ho ho.
Mark & Roger
Benny! Shit.
Benny
Dudes, I'm on my way
Mark & Roger
Great! Fuck
Benny
I need the rent
Mark
What rent?
Benny
This past year's rent which I let slide
Mark
Let slide? You said we were 'golden'
Roger
When you bought the building
Mark
When we were roommates
Roger
Remember - you lived here!?
Benny
How could I forget?
You, me, Collins and Maureen
How is the drama queen?
Mark
She's performing tonight
Benny
I know.
Still her production manager?
Mark
Two days ago I was bumped
Benny
You still dating her?
Mark
Last month I was dumped
Roger
She's in love
Benny
She's got a new man?
Mark
Well - no
Benny
What's his name?
Both
Joanne
Benny
Rent, my amigos, is due
Or I will have to evict you
Be there in a few
Mark
The power blows ...
