Roger:
What happened to Benny, what happened to his heart?
And the ideals he once pursued?
Benny:
And the owner of that lot next door has the right to do with it as he pleases
Roger:
Happy birthday Jesus
Benny:
The rent!
Mark:
You're wasting your time
Roger:
We're broke
Mark:
And you broke your word! This is absurd
Benny:
There is one way you won't have to pay
Roger:
I knew it
Benny:
Next door the home of cyber arts, you see
And now that the block is rezoned
Our dream can become a reality
You'll see boys, you'll see boys
A state of the art, digital, virtual interactive studio
I'll forgo your rent and on paper gurantee that you can stay here for free--
If you do me one small favor
Mark:
What?
Benny:
Convince Maureen to cancel her protest
Mark:
Why not just get an injunction or call the cops?
Benny:
Yeah I did, and they're on stand by
But my invvestors would rather I handled this quietly
Roger:
You can't quietly wipe out an entire tent city then watch 'It's A Wonderful Life' on TV!
Benny:
You wanna produce films and write songs?
You need somewhere to do it!
It's what we used to dream about, think twice before you poo poo it!
You'll see boys, you'll see boys
You'll see the beauty of a studio
That lets us do our work and get paid
With condos on the top, who's rent keeps open our shop
Just stop the protest and you'll have it made
You'll see--or you'll pack
