Light My Candle

[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.

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

[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]

It's a 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
