MAUREEN 

I think we need an agent! 

MARK 

We? 

JOANNE 

That's selling out 

MARK 

But it's nice to dream 

MAUREEN 

Yeah - It's network TV 
And it's all thanks to me 

MARK 

Somehow I think I smell 
The whiff of the scheme 

JOANNE 

Me too 

MAUREEN 

We can plan another protest 

JOANNE 

We?! 

MAUREEN 

This time you can shoot from the start... (to Mark) 
You'll direct... (to Joanne) 
Starring me! 

ALL 

5, 4, 3... Open sesame!! 

Happy new year 
Happy new year 
Happy new... 

BENNY 

I see that you've beaten me to the punch 

ROGER 

How did you know we'd be here? 

BENNY 

I had a hunch 

MARK 

You're not mad? 

BENNY 

I'm here to end this war 
It's a shame you went and destroyed the door 

MIMI 

Why all the sudden the big about face? 

BENNY 

The credit is yours 
You made a good case 

ROGER 

What case? 

BENNY 

Mimi came to see me 
And she had much to say 

MIMI 

That's not how you put it at all yesterday 

BENNY 

I couldn't stop thinking about the whole mess 
Mark - You want to get this on film 

MARK 

I guess 

BENNY 

I regret the unlucky circumstances 
Of the past seven days 

ROGER 

Circumstance? 
You padlocked our door 

BENNY 

And it's with great pleasure 
On behalf of Cyberarts 
That I had you this key 

ANGEL 

Golf claps 

MARK 

I have no juice in my battery 

BENNY 

Reshoot 

ROGER 

I see - this is a photo opportunity 

MAUREEN 

The benevolent God ushers the poor artists back to their flat 
Were you planning on taking down the barbed wire 
From the lot, too? 

ROGER 

Anything but that! 

BENNY 

Clearing the lot was a safety concern 
We break ground this month 
But you can return 

MAUREEN 

That's why you're here with people you hate 
Instead of with Muffy at Muffy's estate 

BENNY 

I'd honestly rather be with you tonight 
Than in Westport -- 

ROGER 

Spare us old sport, the soundbite 

BENNY 

Mimi - since your ways are so seductive 

MIMI 

You came onto me! 

BENNY 

Persuade him not to be so counterproductive 

ROGER 

Liar! 

BENNY 

Why not tell them what you wore to my place? 

MIMI 

I was on my way to work 

BENNY 

Black leather and lace! 
My desk was a mess 
I think I'm still sore 

MIMI 

Cause I kicked him and told him I wasn't his whore! 

BENNY 

Does your boyfriend know 
Who your last boyfriend was? 

ROGER 

I'm not her boyfriend 
I don't care what she does 

ANGEL 

People! Is this any way to start a new year? 
Have compassion 
Benny just lost his cat 

BENNY 

My dog - but I appreciate that 

ANGEL 

My cat had a fall 
And I went through hell 

BENNY 

It's like losing a - 
How did you know that she fell? 

COLLINS 

Champagne? 

BENNY 

Don't mind if I do 
To dogs 

ALL BUT BENNY 

No Benny - To you! 

ANGEL 

Let's make a resolution 

MIMI 
I'll drink to that! 

COLLINS 

Let's always stay friends 

JOANNE 

Tho' we may have out disputes 

MAUREEN 

This family tree's got deep roots 

MARK 

Friendship is thicker than blood 

ROGER 

That depends 

MIMI 

Depends on trust 

ROGER 

Depends on true devotion 

JOANNE 

Depends on love 

MARK 

Depends on not denying emotion 

ROGER 

Perhaps 

ALL 

It's gonna be a happy new year 

ROGER 

I guess 

ALL 

It's gonna be a happy new year 

ROGER 

You're right 

ANGEL 

It's gonna be a happy new year 

ROGER & MIMI 

I'm sorry 

ROGER 

Coming? 

MIMI 

In a minute - I'm fine - Go 

THE MAN 

Well, well, well, what have we here? 

It's gonna be a happy new year 
There, there... (etc.)
