The lot Where a stage is partially set up
JOANNE
Mark?

MARK
Hi

JOANNE
I Told Her Not To Call You

MARK
That's Maureen
But Can I Help Since I'm Here

JOANNE
I Hired An Engineer

MARK
Great!
Well, Nice To Have Met You

JOANNE
Wait!
She's Three Hours Late

The Samples Wont Delay
But The Cable -

MARK
There's Another Way
Say Something - Anything

JOANNE
Test - On, Two Three

MARK
Anything But That

JOANNE
This Is Weird

MARK
It's Weird

JOANNE
Very Weird

MARK
Fuckin' Weird

JOANNE
I'm So Mad
That I Don't Know What To Do
Fighting With Microphones
Freezing Down To My Bones
And To Top It All Off
I'm With You

MARK
Feel Like Going Insane?
Got A Fire In Your Brain?
And Your Thinking Of Drinking
Gasoline?

JOANNE
As A Matter Of Fact --

MARK
Honey, I Know This Act
It's Called The 'Tango Maureen'

The Tango Maureen
It's A Dark, Dizzy
Merry-Go-Round
As She Keeps You Dangling

JOANNE
You're Wrong

MARK
Your Heart She Is Mangling

JOANNE
It's Different With Me

MARK
And You Toss And You Turn
'Cause Her Cold Eyes Can Burn
Yet You Yearn And You Churn And Rebound

JOANNE
I Think I Know What You Mean

BOTH
The Tango Maureen

MARK
Has She Ever
Pouted Her Lips
And Called You 'Pookie'

JOANNE
Never

MARK
Have You Ever Doubted A Kiss Or Two?

JOANNE
This Is Spooky
Did You Swoon
When She Walked Through The Door?

MARK
Every Time - So Be Cautious

JOANNE
Did She Moon Over Other Boys--?

MARK
More Than Moon--

JOANNE
I'm Getting Nauseous

(They dance)

MARK
It's hard to do this backwards

JOANNE
You should try it in heels!

She Cheated

MARK
She Cheated

JOANNE
Maureen Cheated

MARK
Fuckin' Cheated

JOANNE
I'm Defeated
I Should Give Up Right Now

MARK
Gotta Look On The Bright Side
With All Of Your Might

JOANNE
I'd Fall For Her Still Anyhow

BOTH
When Your Dancing Her Dance
You Don't Stand A Chance
Her Grip Of Romance
Makes You Fall

MARK
So You Think, 'Might As Well'

JOANNE
"Dance A Tango To Hell"

BOTH
'At Least I'll Have Tangoed At All'

The Tango Maureen
Gotta Dance Til Your Diva Is Through
You Pretend To Believe Her
Cause In The End - You Can't Leave Her

But The End It Will Come
Still You Have To Play Dumb
Til You're Glum And You Bum
And Turn Blue

MARK
Why Do We Love When She's Mean?

JOANNE
And She Can Be So Obscene

MARK
Try The Mike

JOANNE
My Maureen (een, een, een)

MARK
Patched

JOANNE
Thanks

MARK
You Know - I Feel Great Now!

JOANNE
I Fell Lousy

BOTH
The Tango: Maureen!
