This song is bittersweet. Vanessa is embracing her feelings for Usnavi, while recognizing that they don’t have much time together, and recognizing that the neighborhood itself won’t last forever in the face of gentrification. She encourages Usnavi to stay. He doesn’t quite get what she’s trying to s...
[VANESSA]
So I got you a present
I went next door to get it
Doing anything tonight?
[USNAVI]
Cleaning
[VANESSA]
You're done for the day
[USNAVI]
No way
[VANESSA]
'Cause 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 already packed 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 thе sweetest thing anyone evеr 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 go 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 tryna open this champagne
You see the twisty thing is broken
But I'm gonna open this damn champagne
[VANESSA]
Let me see it
[USNAVI]
No, I got it!
[VANESSA]
Yo, Usnavi, drop the champagne
[USNAVI]
I mean you went through 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 stay uptown, maybe save this place
[USNAVI]
Haha, 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 left us too—
[VANESSA]
And I moved 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]
So, what are you trying to say?
[VANESSA]
You get everyone addicted to your coffee and 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
