(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 about 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.

(Mimi exits; then knocks again)

It blew 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 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 somewhere else --

(Mimi)

Do you go to the cat scratch club

That's where I work - I dance - help me look

(Roger)

Yes!

They used to tie you up -

(Mimi)

It's a living

(Roger)

I didn't recognize you

Without the handcuffs

(Mimi)

We could light the candle

Oh won't you light the candle

(Roger)

Why don't you forget that stuff

You look like you're sixteen

(Mimi)

I'm nineteen - but I'm old for my age

I'm just born to be bad

(Roger)

I once was born to be bad

I used to shiver like that

(Mimi)

I have no heat - I told you

(Roger)

I used to sweat

(Mimi)

I got a cold

(Roger)

Uh huh

I used to be a junkie

(Mimi)

But now and then I like to --

(Roger)

Uh huh

(Mimi)

Feel good

(Roger)

Here it -- um --

(Mimi)

What's that?

(Roger)

Candy bar wrapper

(Mimi)

We could light the candle

What'd you do with my candle?

(Roger)

That was my last match

(Mimi)

Our eyes'll 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
