Light My Candle
What'd you forget?
Got a light?
I know you--you're--
You're shivering
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?
Nothing
Your hair in the moonlight
You look familiar
Can you make it?
Just haven't eaten much today
At least the room stopped spinning.
Anyway. What?
Nothing
Your smile reminded me of-
I always remind people of - who is she?
She died. Her name was April
It's out again
Sorry about your friend
Would you light my candle?
Yeah. Ow
Oh, the wax-it's
Dripping! I like it - between my--
Fingers. I figured...
Oh, well. Goodnight
(Mimi exits; then knocks again)
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 candles 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?
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
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 sixteen
I'm nineteen-but I'm old for my age
I'm just born to be bgad
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 have a cold
I used to be a junkie
But now and then I like to-
Feel good.
Here it-um
What's that?
A candy bar wrapper
We could light the candle
What'd you do with 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 shooting down
the street
Bah humbug...Bah humbug
Cold hands
Yours too.
Big. Like my fathers
You wanna dance?
With you?
No-with my father
I'm Roger
They call me
They call me Mimi
