Happy New Year 2
guitar chords lyrics
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
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.)
