- I always "remind people of"

- Who is she?

- She died

- Her name was April

- It's out again

Sorry 'bout your friend

Would you light my candle?

- Well?

- Yeah?

Oh, the wax

- It's-

- Dripping

- I like it between my-

- Fingers

I figured

Oh, well, good night

- It blew out again?

- No, I think that I dropped my stash

I know I've seen you out and about

When I used to go out

Your candle's out

I'm illin'

I had it when I walked in the door

It was pure

Is it on the floor?

The floor?

They say that I have the best ass

Below 14th Street

- Is it true?

- What?

- You're staring again

- Oh, no

I mean, you do have a nice-

I mean, you look familiar

- Like your dead girlfriend

- Only when you smile

But I'm sure I've seen you

Somewhere else

Do you go to the Cat Scratch Club?

That's where I work

I dance

Help me look

Yes

They used to tie you up

It's a living

I didn't recognize you

Without the handcuffs

We could light the candle

Oh, won't you light the candle?

Why don't you forget that stuff?

- You look like you're 16

- I'm 19

But I'm old for my age

I'm just born to be bad

I once was born to be bad

I used to shiver like that

- I have no heat, I told you

- I used to sweat

- I got a cold

- Uh-huh, I used to be a junkie

- But now and then I like to feel good

- Uh-huh

- Oh, here

- What's that?

Candy-bar wrapper.

We could light the candle

Oh, what'd you do to my candle?

- That was my last match

- Our eyes'll adjust

- Thank God for the moon

- Maybe it's not the moon at all

I hear Spike Lee's shootin'

Down the street

Bah humbug

Bah humbug

- Cold hands

- Yours too

Big

Like my father's

Do you wanna dance?

With you?

- No, with my father

- I'm Roger

They call me

They call me Mimi

Hi, you've reached Maureen

and Joanne. Leave a message.

Don't forget "Over the Moon,"

my performance...

...protesting the eviction of the

homeless and artists...

...from the 11th Street lot tonight

at midnight, between A and B.

Party at Life Cafe to follow.

Well, Joanne, we're off

I tried you at the office

And they said you were

Stage managing or something

Remind her that those unwed

mothers in Harlem need her help too.

Call Daisy for our itinerary

Or Alfred at Pound Ridge

Or Eileen at the State Department

In a pinch

We'll be at the spa for New Year's

Unless the senator changes his mind

- The hearings

- Oh, yes, kitten

Mommy's confirmation hearings

Begin on the 10th

We'll need you alone

By the 6th

- Harold!

- You hear that?

Just three weeks away

And she's already nervous

- I am not

- For Mommy's sake, kitten

No Doc Martens this time

And wear a dress, oh, and Kitten

- Have a merry

- And a bra
