[BENNY enters.]



[BENNY]



Joy to the world--

Hey, you bum -- yeah, you, move over

Get your ass off that range rover



[MARK]



That attitude toward the homeless is just what

Maureen is protesting tonight.

[Holding camera up to BENNY]

Close up: Benjamin Coffin the third, our ex-roommate

who married Alison Grey, of the Westport Greys -- then bought

the building and the lot next door from his

father-in-law in hopes of starting a cyber-studio.



[BENNY]



Maureen is protesting

Losing her performance space

Not my attitude



[ROGER]



What happened to Benny

What happened to his heart

And the ideals he once pursued?



[BENNY]



The owner of that lot next door

Has a right to do with it as he pleases



[COLLINS]



Happy birthday, Jesus!



[BENNY]



The rent



[MARK]



You're wasting your time



[ROGER]



We're broke



[MARK]



And you broke your word -- this is absurd



[BENNY]



There is one way you won't have to pay



[ROGER]



I knew it!



[BENNY]



Next door, the home of Cyberarts, you see

And now that the block is re-zoned

Our dream can become a reality

You'll see boys

You'll see boys

A state of the art, digital, virtual interactive studio

I'll forego your rent and on paper guarantee

That you can stay here for free

If you do me one small favor



[MARK]



What?



[BENNY]



Convince Maureen to cancel her protest



[MARK]



Why not just get an injunction or call the cops



[BENNY]



I did, and they're on stand by

But my investors would rather

I handle this quietly



[ROGER]



You can't quietly wipe out an entire tent city

Then watch 'It's a Wonderful Life' on TV!



[BENNY]



You want to produce films and write songs?

You need somewhere to do it!

It's what we used to dream about

Think twice before you pooh-pooh it

You'll see boys

You'll see boys

You'll see -- the beauty of a studio

That lets us do our work and get paid

With condos on the top

Whose rent keeps open our shop

Just stop the protest

And you'll have it made

You'll see -- or you'll pack



[BENNY exits.]



[ANGEL]



That boy could use some prozac



[ROGER]



Or heavy drugs



[MARK]



Or group hugs



[COLLINS]



Which reminds me --

We have a detour to make tonight

Anyone who wants to can come along



[ANGEL]



Life support's a group for people coping with life

You don't have to stay too long



[MARK]



First I've got a protest to save



[ANGEL]



Roger?



[ROGER]



I'm not much company you'll find



[MARK]



Behave!



[ANGEL]



He'll catch up later -- He's just go other things on his mind

You'll see boys



[MARK AND COLLINS]



We'll see boys



[ROGER]



Let it be boys!



[COLLINS]



I like boys



[ANGEL]



Boys like me



[ALL]



We'll see.
