ROGER
What'd you forget?
MIMI
Got a light?
ROGER
I know you- you're-
You're shivering
MIMI
It's nothing, they turned off my heat
And I'm just a little weak on my feet-
Would you light my candle?
What are you staring at?
ROGER
Nothing- your hair in the moonlight
You look familiar- can you make it?
MIMI
Just haven't eaten much today
At least the room stopped spinning- anyway,
What?
ROGER
Nothing- your smile reminded me of-
MIMI
-I always remind people of
Who is she?
ROGER
She died. Her name was April.
MIMI
It's out again
Sorry 'bout your friend
Would you light my candle?
ROGER
Well
MIMI
Yeah
Ow!
ROGER
Oh, the wax- it's
MIMI
-dripping
I like it between my-
ROGER
Fingers
I figured.
Oh well, goodnight
(knock knock knock)
ROGER
It's out again?
MIMI
No- I think that I dropped my stash
ROGER
I know I've seen you out and about
When I used to go out
Your candle's out
MIMI
I'm illin'- I had it when I walked in the door
It was pure- is it on the floor?
ROGER
The floor?
MIMI
They say that I have the best ass
Below 14th street
Is it true?
ROGER
What?
MIMI
You're staring again
ROGER
Oh no- I mean you do- have a nice-
I mean- you look familiar
MIMI
Like your dead girlfriend?
ROGER
Only when you smile
But I'm sure I've seen you someplace else
MIMI
Do you go to the Cat Scratch Club?
That's where I work- I dance
Help me look
ROGER
MIMI
It's a living
ROGER
I didn't recognise you without the handcuffs
MIMI
We could light the candle
Oh what'd you do with my candle?
ROGER
That was my last match
MIMI
Our eyes will adjust-
Thank God for the moon
ROGER
Maybe it's not the moon at all
I hear Spike Lee's shooting down the street
MIMI
Bah humbug. Bah humbug.
ROGER
Cold hands
MIMI
Yours too. Big. Like my father's.
You wanna dance?
ROGER
With you?
MIMI
No- with my father
ROGER
I'm Roger
MIMI
They call me, they call me Mimi
