A song from the musical RENT. The girl Mimi is asking the man Roger to light her candle. She keeps blowing it out so she can stay in his room for longer. Roger knows that Mimi is on
drugs, as he recognizes the signs from when he was on
drugs. Roger tells Mimi that her smile reminds him of his dead girlfriend. Mimi leaves, then comes back, saying that she dropped her
drugs. Mimi bends down to look on the floor, then asks Roger if it's true that she has a nice
butt. He is embarrassed, but says that she does. He then finds the
drugs on the floor, but doesn't give it to her, instead putting it in is back pocket. Roger runs out of matches, but Mimi says that it's all right, as their eyes
will adjust. She then asks Roger to dance, and takes the packet of drugs out of his pocket. She waves it in the air, teasing, then leaves.
Wha'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-
I always remind
people of- Who is she?
She died. Her name was April.
It's out again. Sorry 'bout your
friend. Would you light my candle?
Well-
Yeah?
Oh the wax, it's-
Dripping, I like it between my-
Fingers, I figured- Oh well. Good night.
