Why Dorothy and Toto jumped over the rainbow....

HALLOWEEN from RENT

MARK

How did we get here?
How the hell...
Pan left -- close on the steeple of the church

How did I get here?
How the hell...

Christmas
Christmas Eve -- last year

How could a night so frozen be so scalding hot?
How can a morning this mild be so raw?

Why are entire years strewn
On the cutting room floor of memory
When single frames from one magic night
Forever flicker in close-up
On the 3D Imax of my mind

That's poetic
That's pathetic

Why did Mimi knock on Roger's door
And Collins choose that phone booth
Back where Angel set up his drums
Why did Maureen's equipment break down

Why am I the witness
And when I capture it on film
Will it mean that it's the end
And I'm alone

Jumping ahead a bit...

I hear it I see it
I hear it I see it
I hear it I see it
My song! My film!

Did you watch the PBS Broadway documentary? They wrecked me with that snippet of the "One Song Glory" demo as sung by Jonathan Larson, man.

I missed it! ::sad:: I hope they rerun it, though.

I'm sure they will. (I'd send you a copy, but no dubbing capability during this #*($&#( two-households thing.) Plus, hoping to get DVD set for birthday -- it has FIVE more hours of material!
