A HOMELESS MAN

Christmas bells are ringing

Christmas bells are ringing

Christmas bells are ringing

Somewhere else!

Not here

ANGEL

You okay honey?



COLLINS

I'm afraid so



ANGEL

They get any money?



COLLINS

No

Had none to get --

But they purloined my coat --

Well you missed a sleeve! -- Thanks



ANGEL

Hell, it's Christmas Eve

I'm Angel



COLLINS

Angel..? Indeed

An angel of the first degree

Friends call me Collins -- Tom Collins

Nice tree ...



ANGEL

Let's get a band-aid for your knee

I'll change, there's a "Life Support" meeting at nine-thirty

Yes -- this body provides a comfortable home

For the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome



COLLINS

As does mine



ANGEL

We'll get along fine

Get you a coat, have a bite

Make a night -- I'm flush



COLLINS

My friends are waiting --



ANGEL

You're cute when you blush

The more the merri -- ho ho ho

And I do not take no
