Champagne

[VANESSA]

So I got you a present

I went downtown to get it

Doing anything tonight?

[USNAVI]

Cleaning

[VANESSA]

Done for the day

[USNAVI]

No way

[VANESSA]

‘Cuz we got a date

[USNAVI]

Okay—

[VANESSA]

Before you board that plane

I owe you a bottle of cold champagne

[USNAVI]

No…

[VANESSA]

Yeah, cold champagne

[USNAVI]

Damn, the bottle’s all sweaty and everything

You went and got this—

[VANESSA]

Pop the champagne

[USNAVI]

I don’t know if we have coffee cups

Or plastic cups, I think Sonny has the cups—

[VANESSA]

Tonight we’re drinking straight from the bottle. Usnavi?

[USNAVI]

Yeah?

[VANESSA]

Daniela told me what you did for me

And it’s honestly the sweetest thing anyone ever did for me

Now, what can I say or do to possibly repay you for your kindness?

[USNAVI]

How do you get this gold shit off?

[VANESSA]

Usnavi!

[USNAVI]

Yeah!

[VANESSA]

Before we both leave town!

Before the corner changes and the signs are taken down

Let’s walk around the neighborhood and say our goodbyes

Usnavi, are you alright?

[USNAVI]

I’m fine, I’m tryn’a open this champagne

Y'see the twisty thing is broken

But I’m gonna open this damn champagne!

[VANESSA]

Lemme see it

[USNAVI]

No, I got it!

[VANESSA]

Yo, Usnavi, drop the champagne!

[USNAVI]

I mean you went to all this trouble to get us a little bubbly—

[VANESSA]

And it’s gonna be okay

[USNAVI]

I’m sorry, it’s been a long day

[VANESSA]

You oughta stay

[USNAVI]

What?

[VANESSA]

You can use that money to fix this place

[USNAVI]

Ha ha, very funny

[VANESSA]

And it’s not like Sonny’s got role models—

[USNAVI]

Role models?

[VANESSA]

Stepping up to the plate—

[USNAVI]

Yo, what are you talking about?

[VANESSA]

I’m just saying, I think your vacation can wait—

[USNAVI]

Vacation? Vanessa, you’re leaving too—

[VANESSA]

I’m going down to West Fourth Street; you can take the A—

[USNAVI]

What are you trying to say?

[VANESSA]

You’re leaving the country, and we’re never gonna see you again—

[USNAVI]

What are you trying to say?

[VANESSA]

You get everyone addicted to your coffee then off you go

[USNAVI]

Vanessa, I don’t know why you’re mad at me

[VANESSA]

I wish I was mad—

I’m just too late
