Suddenly, MIMI's hand twitches Incredibly, she is still alive)

MIMI
I jumped over the moon!!

MIMI
A leap of mooooooooooooooo--

JOANNE
She's back!

MIMI
I was in a tunnel Heading for this warm, white light

MAUREEN
Oh my god!

MIMI
And I swear Angel was there -- and she looked GOOD! And she said,
"Turn around, girlfriend, and listen to that boy's song"

COLLINS
She's drenched

MAUREEN
Her fever's breaking

MARK
There is no future -- there is no past

ROGER
Thank God this moment's not the last

MIMI & ROGER
There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret or life is yours to miss

ALL
No other road no other way
No day but today

(As the finale grows, the entire COMPANY makes its way on stage)

WOMEN
I can't control
My destiny
I trust my soul
My only goal is just to be

MEN
Will I lose my dignity?
Will someone care?
Will I wake tomorrow
From this nightmare?

(MARK's film resumes, along with two more films projecting on the

back wall, "Scenes from RENT")

WOMEN
Without you
The hand gropes
The ear hears
The pulse beats
Life goes on
But I'm gone
'Cause I die
Without you
I die without you
I die without you
I die without you

MEN
There's only now
There's only here
Give in to love
Or live in fear
No other path
No other way
No day but today
No day but today
No day but today
No day but today

ALL
No day but today
