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 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 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

Oh, here it...

Mimi

What's that?

Roger

It's a candy bar wrapper

Mimi

We could light the candle

Oh, 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

Do you wanna dance?

Roger

With you?

Mimi

No, with my father

Roger

I'm Roger

Mimi

They call me, they call me...

Mimi
