Cast of the Motion Picture ‘Rent’
You’ll See
[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 a 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 Cyberarts, you see
And now that the block is re-zoned
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 forego your rent and on paper guarantee
That you can stay here for free
If you do me one small favor

[ROGER]
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 investors would rather
I handle this quietly
[ROGER]
You can't quietly wipe out an entire tent city
Then watch 'It's a Wonderful Life' on TV

[BENNY]
You want to produce films and write songs?
You need somewhere to do it
It's what we used to dream about
Think twice before you pooh-pooh 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
Whose rent keeps open our shop
Just stop the protest and you'll have it made
You'll see or you'll pack
