[COLLINS] "Chestnuts roasting ---" [MARK & ROGER] Collins! [COLLINS] I'm downstairs [MARK] Hey! [COLLINS] Roger picked up the phone? [MARK] No, it's me [COLLINS] Throw down the key [MARK] A wild night is now pre-ordained [COLLINS] I may be detained (Phone call cuts off) [MARK] What does he mean...?

[MARK] Last month I was dumped [ROGER] She's in love [BENNY] She's got a new man? [MARK] Well, no... [BENNY] What's his name? [MARK & ROGER] Joanne [BENNY] Rent, my amigos, is due Or I will have to evict you Be there in a few (Roger playing chords) [MARK] The power blows ...
