[COLLINS] No, no, no I rewired the ATM at the food emporium To provide an honorarium to anyone with the code [ROGER & MARK] The code Well...? [COLLINS] A-N-G-E-L Yet Robin Hooding isn't the solution The powers that be must be undermined where they dwell In a small, exclusive gourmet institution Where we overcharge the wealthy clientele [COLLINS] Let's open up a restaurant in Santa Fe [MARK & ROGER] Santa Fe [COLLINS] With a private corner banquette [COLLINS, MARK, & ROGER] In the back [COLLINS] We'll make it yet, we'll somehow get to Santa Fe [MARK & ROGER] Santa Fe [ROGER] But you'd miss New York before you could unpack [COLLINS, MARK, & ROGER] Ohh [MAUREEN] Mark! Roger! Anyone - help! [MARK] Maureen? [MAUREEN] It's Mimi - I can't get her up the stairs [ROGER] No [MAUREEN] She was huddled in the park in the dark And she was freezing And begged to come here [ROGER] Over here Oh, God [MIMI] Got a light - I know you - you're shivering [JOANNE] She's been living on the street [ROGER] We need some heat [MIMI] I'm shivering [MARK] We can buy some wood and something to eat [COLLINS] I'm afraid she needs more than heat [MIMI] I heard that [MAUREEN] Collins will call for a doctor, honey [MIMI] Don't waste your money on Mimi, me, me [COLLINS] Hello 911? I'm on hold [MIMI] Cold...cold... would you light my candle? [ROGER] Yes we'll oh God - find a candle [MIMI] I should tell you I should tell you [ROGER] I should tell you I should tell you [MIMI] I should tell you Benny wasn't any [ROGER] Shhh--I know I should tell you why I left It wasn't cause I didn't [MIMI] I know I should tell you [ROGER] I should tell you [MIMI] I should tell you I love you [ROGER] Who do you think you are?
