Rent tango Maureen
Maureen is Mark's ex-girlfriend, but she abandoned Mark and left with Joanne, a lesbian high society. While preparing Maureen's protest performance, some stereos were broken. Maureen called Mark to help fix them, so Mark met Joanne. He warned Joanne that Maureen was a very coquettish person.
Joanne:
Wait!
She was three hours late.
The sample will not be delayed.
But the cable-
Mark:
There is another way.
Say something.-anything.
Joanne:
Test-one, two, three-
Mark:
Except that.
Joanne:
This is so weird.
Mark:
Very strange
Joanne:
Very strange
Mark:
That's fucking weird
Joanne:
I am so angry.
I don't know what to do.
Fight with a microphone
Cold to my bones.
most important of all
I support you.
Mark:
Want to go crazy?
Are you on fire?
You want to drink gasoline?
Joanne:
Actually-
Mark:
Honey, I know this scene.
It's called "Tango Maureen"
Tango moline
This is a dark, dizzy carousel.
She makes you waver
Joanne:
You're wrong.
Mark:
She is hurting your heart.
Joanne:
It's different for me.
Mark:
You toss and turn
Because her cold eyes will burn
But you crave, you stir and bounce.
Joanne:
I think I know what you mean.
Both:
Tango moline
Mark:
Did she pout?
And call you "baby"
Joanne:
Never!
Mark:
Do you doubt a kiss or two?
Joanne:
This is ... creepy.
Did you pass out when she walked in the door?
Mark:
Every time-so be careful.
Joanne:
Did she have a crush on other boys?
Mark:
Not just the moon-
Joanne:
I'm starting to feel sick.
(They start dancing, led by Mark)
Mark:
Where did you learn to tango?
Joanne:
In Miss Porter's dormitory with the daughter of the French ambassador. What about you?
Mark:
With the rabbi's daughter Nanette Himmelfarb at the Jewish Community Center in scarsdale.
(They switch, Joanne is in the lead)
It's hard to do this the other way around.
Joanne:
You should try wearing high heels!
She cheated.
Mark:
She cheated.
Joanne:
Maureen cheated.
Mark:
Fucking cheating
Joanne:
I was defeated.
I should give up now.
Mark:
Look on the bright side
Do what you can.
Joanne:
Anyway, I will still fall in love with her.
Both:
When you dance her dance,
You have no chance.
Her grasp of romance.
Let you fall
Mark:
So you thought, "Might as well."
Joanne:
"Tango to Hell"
Both:
"At least I can have a tango."
Tango moline
You must dance until the end of your days.
You pretend to believe her.
Because eventually-you can't leave her.
But the end will come.
You still have to play dumb.
Until you're depressed and homeless
Turn blue
Mark:
Why do we love her when she is mean?
Joanne:
She can be very obscene sometimes.
Mark:
Try the microphone
Joanne:
My Maureen (Reverberation: Yeah, Yeah, Yeah ...)
Mark:
mend
Joanne:
thank you
Mark:
You know-I feel great now!
Joanne:
I feel terrible.
(The pay phone is ringing. Joanne answers)
Honey, we ... (pause) Pookie? !
You never call me Pookie. ...
Forget it. We made up.
(She hangs up the phone and looks at Mark)
Both:
Tango Maureen!
