I always feel so sorry for Mark during this song. Yeah, it's sad to see the couples break up and to hear Mark and Roger arguing, but in the last song, Mark just confessed to himself (and us) that he feels like he's stuck just being a witness to everything and that in the end, he'll be alone again. And what happens here? He's stuck witnessing as his friends break apart in a time when they probably really need each other, and then Roger calls him out on it in an angry, bratty way. Ouch.

Best Line In The Play:

"Maybe Because I'm The One Of Us To Survive"

[TheJacksForAllTrades]

@ColtenASherk It shows how much work went into building the characters

[ColtenASherk]

@TheJacksForAllTrades Oh yeah, I'd never say it wasn't hard for Roger either. They've both got some heavy shit in their lives. I guess I just sympathize with Mark more because I connected with him more easily than I did with Roger. But yeah, this is just almost painful to listen to sometimes :c

Why did they cut this out of the movie? This is so beautiful and heartbreaking.

You really get a feel for how Mark truly is the loneliest one and the one who has to suffer the most because he has to watch everyone die from AIDS. This gives him more depth and then you hear how heartbroken Mimi is to see Roger leave.

I feel more sorry for Mark though...because I'm so much like him...

the best song in the whole play i dont understand why they cut it out of the movie i would absolutely love the movie

[kotaroMichuzuki]

"you dont want baggage with ought lifetime guarantees you dont want to watch me die, i just came to say goodbye love..." -best line in song-

I neither hate nor love Daphne. Her voice isn't my taste, but it has character and fits the part well. I do feel like her acting can be a little much sometimes, but it's fine. I just wish people on both sides would stop argueing over it. You can't change someones preference.

@ChocoCoatedLemons same here. i don't care for it.... i much prefer rosario's more sweeter tone quality.

[TheJacksForAllTrades]

@ColtenASherk In the defense of Roger, it's hard for him too, I mean, think about it, he's experiencing this too, but also in the knowledge that he doesn't know how much time he, or Mimi has, so he was bound to say something in anger, I feel sorry for both of them

@SuperGilfte mine "your always preaching not be numb, when thats how you thrive"

[TedLeBeau]

1:13 Roger's voice is brilliant. I listen to the whole song just for that part, again and again.
