Light My Candle

[ROGER]

What'd you forget?

[MIMI enters, holding a candle and looking for a match;]
[her electricity is down, too.]

[MIMI]

Got a light?

[ROGER]

I know you? -- You're --
You're shivering
[MIMI]

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?

[ROGER]

Nothing
Your hair in the moonlight
You look familiar
[He lights her candle. MIMI starts to leave, but stumbles.]
Can you make it?

[MIMI]

Just haven't eaten much today
At least the room stopped spinning.
Anyway. What?

[ROGER]

Nothing
Your smile reminded me of --

[MIMI]

I always remind people of -- who is she?

[ROGER]

She died. Her name was April

[MIMI discreetly blows out the candle.]

[MIMI]

It's out again
Sorry about your friend
Would you light my candle?
