Pilgrim's Hands Lyrics > Bare: A Pop Opera

SISTER CHANTELLE
Ladies and gentlemen, we open tomorrow night
And this dance is a mess!
Lucas, those steps are all wrong!
What's wrong with you?

LUCAS
Sister, you're ruining my life!

RORY
Dance, take two!

JASON
Hey, nervous about opening night?

PETER
Not really

JASON
Hey, how's living with Lucas?

PETER
It's...it's fine

JASON
Peter, we graduate on Sunday
Are you really never going to speak to me again?
I miss you...

SISTER CHANTELLE
Ok, let's run Pilgrims' Hands

KYRA or TANYA?
Ivy's not here, Sister Chantelle

SISTER CHANTELLE
What?! Wonderful...
Who's Juliet's understudy?

DIANE
I am!

SISTER CHANTELLE
Alright Diane...
Jason...

JASON
If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To soothe that rough touch with a tender kiss

DIANE
Good pilgrim...
Good pilgrim...
Wait! I know it, I swear!

PETER (taking over from DIANE)
Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much
Which mannerly devotion shows in this
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss

SISTER CHANTELLE
Zach, in Shakespeare's time boys played all the parts
So I'll thank you to keep your ignorance as hidden as possible
Jason...

JASON
Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?

PETER
Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer

JASON
O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do
They pray, grant thou...lest...lest...

PETER
...lest faith turn to despair

SISTER CHANTELLE
Well done, Peter. Ivy, nice of you to join us, but we're finished
This room will be left open if you want to get together one more time
As for me, I'm off the clock

RORY
Hey guys, let's meet here tonight at seven

TANYA
All of us...and don't be late

LUCAS
Yeah, if you're late, no door prizes for tomorrow

ALAN
Door prizes?

NADIA
Drugs, honey...drugs

IVY (to Jason)
I really need to talk to you...do you not get messages?

JASON
Do you not get messages?
Ok...what is it?

IVY
Not here, just come back to my room

JASON
I can't, I have to finish my speech
You're coming to rehearsal tonight, right?
I can't do this scene without you

IVY
Well, it looks like you can

JASON
I'll meet you before practice

IVY
I'll come by your room

JASON
Ok

SISTER CHANTELLE
Impressive performance

PETER
I help him run his lines

SISTER CHANTELLE
I wasn't talking about the scene

PETER
I should go...
