Rent: Filmed Live on Broadway Page #4

Enter Tom Collins.

Computer genius, teacher,

vagabond anarchist...

...who ran naked

through the Parthenon.

Bustelo, Marlboro

Banana by the bunch

A box of Cap'n Crunch

Will taste so good

- And firewood

- Look, it's Santa Claus

- Hold your applause

- Oh, hi

- "Oh, hi," after seven months?

- Sorry

This boy could use some Stoli

Oh, holy night

You struck gold at MI

They expelled me for my theory

of actual reality...

...which I'll soon impart to the couch

potatoes at New York University.

- Still haven't left the house?

- I was waiting for you, don't you know?

Well, tonight's the night. Come to

the Life Cafe after Maureen's show.

No flow.

Gentlemen, our benefactor

On this Christmas Eve

Whose charity is only matched

By talent, I believe

A new member of the Alphabet City

Avant-garde

Angel Dumott Schunard

Today for you

Tomorrow for me

Today for you

Tomorrow for me

- And you should hear her beat

- You earned this on the street?

It was my lucky day today

On Avenue A

When a lady in a limousine

Drove my way

She said, "Darling, be a dear

Haven't slept in a year

I need your help to make my

Neighbor's yappy dog disappear

This Akita, Evita, just won't shut up

I believe if you play nonstop

That pup will breathe its very last

High-strung breath

I'm certain that cur

Will bark itself to death"

Today for you

Tomorrow for me

Today for you

Tomorrow for me

We agreed on a fee

$1000 guarantee, tax free

And a bonus if I trim her tree

Now, who could foretell

That it would go so well?

But sure as I am here

That dog is now in doggy hell

After an hour, Evita, in all her glory

From a window ledge

Of that 23rd story

Like Thelma and Louise did

When they got the blues

Swan-dove into the courtyard

Of the Gracie Mews

Today for you

Tomorrow for me

Today for you

Tomorrow for me

You go, girl.

Back on the street

Where I met my sweet

Where he was moaning and groaning

On the cold concrete

The nurse took him home

For some Mercurochrome

Then I dressed his wounds

And got him back on his feet

Sing it

Today for you

Tomorrow for me

Today for you

Tomorrow for me

I said

Today for you

Tomorrow for me

Today for you

Tomorrow

For me

Joy to the world

Hey. You bum. Yeah, you.

Move over.

Get your ass off that Range Rover.

That attitude toward the homeless...

...is exactly what Maureen

is protesting tonight.

Close-up:
Our ex-roommate,

Benjamin Coffin III...

...who married Allison Grey

of the Westport Greys...

...then bought our building

and the lot next door...

...from his father-in-law,

in hopes of starting a cyber-studio.

Maureen is protesting

Losing her performance space

Not my attitude
