EPIPHANY STUDENTS (singing in Latin) In nomine patris Et filus Et spiritus sancti Introibo ad altere dei Amen PRIEST I want to welcome all of you back I hope Christmas was a time of great joy for you and your families Today is the Feast of the Epiphany The celebration of the arrival of the three wise men To pay homage to the baby Jesus I want you to imagine what that journey must have been like A journey resting entirely on fate That they would know where they were going once they arrived Imagine what a joy it must have been for them To finally reach their destination Seniors, you're coming to an end of your time at St. Cecelia's LUCAS Yeah! PRIEST You've lived together, studied together And most importantly, prayed together Strength for the journey We begin in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit Let us take a moment now to call to mind those times When we have fallen from God's grace I confess... PRIEST & STUDENTS ...to almighty God, that I have sinned through my own fault. In my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do. And I ask the Blessed Mary ever Virgin, all the angels and saints… PRIEST (While students are praying) Peter! You're not fooling anyone! Being an altar boy by day doesn't forgive what you do at night! PETER And you, my brothers and sisters Pray for me to the Lord our God! LUCAS One among us dances with the Devil NADIA Loves my brother, God it makes me sick MATT Seven years in school IVY He's played it cool STUDENTS You can't keep it, tell us your secret NADIA And for risking it all on your salvation IVY I can fix you if you'd like to try MATT Think your actions through STUDENTS What's wrong with you? So mistaken, lost and forsaken! Dig down deep and save your soul Grave mistakes will take their toll Every sin is entered in Heaven comes with discipline PETER But I hid it all so well, tell me how you know STUDENTS No more dodging, God is watching His eye is on the lowly sparrow The road is long, the path is narrow ZACK You’re a Catholic; rules are not suggestions KYRA Read the Bible IVY Would you speak for God? ALAN Why can't you obey? LUCAS You've lost your way STUDENTS Scorned, reviled, waste of a child ZACK Time is ticking, graduation beckons RORY You have five months left to change your mind STUDENTS Lock those thoughts away, it's judgment day Heaven severed, Hell is forever Dig down deep and save your soul Grave mistakes will take their toll Every sin is entered in Heaven comes with discipline PETER Doesn't it all make sense if the love is strong? STUDENTS No more dodging, God is watching His eye is on the lowly sparrow The road is long, the path is narrow CLAIRE Peter, honey, are you sleeping through mass again? You know, if you keep this up, you're going straight to hell PETER Mom? CLAIRE Our first reading today is the story of how, Despite the best efforts of a single mother A child can still go horribly, horribly wrong PETER Mother, please! CLAIRE For his eighth birthday, Peter asked for an Easy Bake Oven His father asked for a divorce To me, the link between those two events was as strong As Peter's attraction to my makeup table PETER This really isn't the best... CLAIRE I sent him to a Catholic boarding school thinking it would help But, when he met his roommate Jason, the two of them locked eyes And I said to myself, 'Claire, you wanted grandchildren? Instead you're going to get ambiguous Christmas cards from South Beach' DIANE Please join us in singing our offertory hymn, number 273, 'A Bender Among Us' STUDENTS AND PRIEST There's a bender among us, he must be exposed Or he'll kidnap our children and take off their clothes There's a bender among us, there's pink in our flock A boy without conscience, whose led by his... CLAIRE ...Cocktail: Peter's second favorite movie His favorite: Top Gun The signs were everywhere, we were practically tripping over them PETER Father? PRIEST Not in the funeral, Peter MATT I'd like to start with just a... If we could take a moment... If maybe we were silent... Or we had spoken... PETER Mom? What is it? Ivy? Nadia? Matt? Is it I? Lord, is it I? STUDENTS/ OTHER STUDENTS Timothy, Romans, Corinthians, Leviticus Timothy, Romans, Corinthians, Leviticus Timothy, Romans, Corinthians, Leviticus/ Hate the sinner, Hate the sin Created in his image Abomination Abomination Abomination Abomination Bear/ Bear the cross Bear/ Bear the cross Bear/ Bear the cross Bear Bear the cross Bear the cross Bear the cross (Peter awakens and gasps) PRIEST Let us go forth in peace to love and serve the Lord STUDENTS Praise be to God PETER Hail Mary full of grace... (continues to rapidly pray) YOU AND I JASON Hey little boy would you like a ride, a lollipop, a puppy? How about a baseball bat? – there’s one in my pants PETER No thank you. My mom, she said to never talk to strangers JASON So a kiss is out of the question then…? PETER I’ll take a chance So where were you? Online? JASON Asleep? PETER Like half the congregation JASON So are we damned? PETER I stayed awake as long as I could JASON Good Catholic, I say we go fall asleep together PETER Do you? JASON Should I bring my baseball bat? PETER I think you should STUDENTS Jason ALAN You’re a superstar man STUDENTS Jason ZACK Kobe couldn’t guard you STUDENTS Jason PETER It’s always the same JASON No, let’s duck in here and… STUDENTS Jason DIANE Have a date for prom yet? STUDENTS Jason KYRA Did you lose my number? STUDENTS Jason JASON This is all just a game You and I You take my hand leaving me breathless Feel the beat of my racing heart so you’ll understand And know why we whisper in hallways I’ll be with you always Running together, forever you and I PETER Tell me why I should trust you when the girls all lust to touch you JASON Cause when I have you near me I go out of my mind Need help there? PETER You’re cute, and it’s tough to argue with a hard-on Think that you could lend a hand here? JASON If I had the time STUDENTS Jason JASON Peter, don’t you worry STUDENTS Jason JASON Cause I wouldn’t leave you STUDENTS Jason JASON Not even for Zack ZACK Yo! JASON Hey, looking good man STUDENTS Jason JASON What we have is perfect STUDENTS Jason PETER Then we’ll tell my mother STUDENTS Jason JASON Let’s lay off the crack! You and I You take my hand leaving me breathless Feel the beat of my racing heart so you’ll understand And know why we whisper in hallways I’ll be with you always Running together, forever you and I PETER There’s something that I want to ask you Now don’t say ‘no’ Just hear me out After school they hold auditions Something just to...think about And- JASON God, you asked the same thing last year You know acting’s not my thing Plus I might go out for baseball And I neither dance nor sing PETER You have never mentioned baseball You haven’t played since we were twelve And as for ‘acting’s not my thing’ It’s obvious it’s something else JASON I don’t act PETER I think we’re the best act this school has ever seen JASON So I’ll take a bow, and I’ll… PETER You know what I mean Just a thought, forget I brought it up JASON We'll think about it tonight When everything is right We’ll shut off the lights And cuddle in bed And see how far we get (Jason kisses Peter) PETER Is that supposed to shut me up? JASON Yeah PETER Jerk JASON You and I You take my hand leaving me breathless Feel the beat of my racing heart so you’ll understand And know why we whisper in hallways I’ll be with you always Running together... (the school bell rings) ...Miss me! (Jason leaves) PETER Forever you and I ROLE OF A LIFETIME PETER Everything’s an act When you’re pleasing everyone And he assumes that role To such renown He plays a perfect part Straight from his heart Knowing the risk he takes And hoping that the house Is not brought down The role of a lifetime is living a fantasy The trauma that you struggle to erase Thoughts battle words over deeds A war with such casualty’s All played out behind a smiling face God, I need your guidance Tell me what it means To live a life where nothings as it seems Spending days in silent fear And spending nights in lonely prayer Hoping that one day when you wake Those feelings won’t be there (Jason is looking over the script) So confused because I feel complete with him When we’re alone it all somehow makes sense Look into his eyes for some compromise Remember the word forget And try to bury something so intense You learn to play the straight man Your lines become routine Never really saying what you mean But I know the scene will change White picket fences, and a dog A trophy bride and children God I know that’s what he wants But Jason, what role do I play? Am I a savior or a phase? Am I here to damn you? Or to help you navigate this maze Where confusion is a crime So you fill your life with sound And if you dance like hell, You hope you’ll never touch the ground What happens when the music stops? In the silence will he stay one day Or realize that these feelings Are going away So we drive ourselves insane Spinning circles in our souls As we dance around and play pretend And once again Reprise our roles AUDITIONS MATT But, soft what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon (“moon” is cut off) BOYS Who is already sick and pale with grief ALAN That thou her maid art far more fair than she ZACK Be not her maid, since she is envious PETER Her vestal livery is but sick BOYS And none but fools do wear it - cast it off, cast it off! IVY 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy Thou art thyself, thou not a Montague What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot NADIA It is nor hand, nor foot, nor arm, nor face IVY Oh, be some other name belonging to a man NADIA Hey, what's in a name? IVY That which we call a rose By any other name TANYA, DIANE, KYRA Would smell as sweet (Same time as “by some other name”) IVY & BOYS (Simultaneously) My only love sprung from my only hate (Ivy) & Thy drugs are quick, thus with a kiss I die (Boys) SISTER CHANTELLE I think I’ve seen all I can stand to see DIANE Oh sister I… SISTER CHANTELLE Straight trip it girl, I know you didn’t just interrupt me DIANE But… SISTER CHANTELLE And what’s with the warm ups No light in the house You’re quite a dancer, too bad you opened your mouth (to Tanya) I have a Romeo who’s well-rehearsed Then there's the rest of you, the show has got to be cursed This play’s a tragedy without a doubt Now are there any other fools here to make me fall out? (Jason enters) JASON With love's light wings did I o'er-perch these walls For stony limits cannot hold love out And what love can do that dares love MATT Attempt thy kinsmen are no stop to me SISTER CHANTELLE If they do see thee, they will murder thee JASON, MATT Alack MATT There lies more peril in thine eye Twenty of their swords JASON Thou but sweet And I am proof against their enmity TANYA, DIANE, KYRA I would not for the world they saw thee here JASON I have night's cloak to hide me from their eyes MATT And but thou love me, let them find me here JASON and MATT My life were better ended by their hate JASON Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love TANYA, DIANE, KYRA By whose direction found'st thou out this place? JASON By love, that first did prompt me to inquire SISTER CHANTELLE That’s it! Enough! I’ll go make my decisions; be back in a few DIANE Oh, but Sister I didn’t get to- SISTER CHANTELLE Girl, what is wrong with you? PETER What made you change your mind? JASON I thought I should try KYRA You nailed it IVY Unforgettable MATT A talented guy LUCAS Reminder, we'll need a time insured by Friday night PETER We’ll be there NADIA You’re not going are you? (to Matt) LUCAS Get me orders MATT I don’t know. I might. BOYS Remember back when all we needed was beer? NADIA When we were freshmen and everything was clear IVY Except your skin LUCAS No more cat fights once we leave for the rave NADIA Then put the princess in the trunk IVY If we drag her behind I’ll behave SISTER CHANTELLE I’m gonna announce the cast list now and I don’t want any drama until the first rehearsal. You got that? You all did very well. And of course, everyone is guaranteed a spot in the chorus Principals- Nurse: Nadia McConnell NADIA Surprise SISTER CHANTELLE I said no drama, or you’re gonna need a nurse. Got that? NADIA Yes, sister SISTER CHANTELLE Mercutio: Peter Simons Benvolio: Lucas Carter Tybalt: Matthew Lloyd Romeo: Jason McConnell Juliet: Ivy Robinson Lady Capulet: Tanya Garrett Lady Montague: Diane Lee...does your father have a camcorder?

KYRA And you think you see me ALAN Hear my call JASON And you think you know me NADIA But you didn’t hear me MATT And you think you know me NADIA See me JASON And you think you know me MATT (to Jason) Hey, congratulations (man hug between Jason and Matt) CLAIRE Hello?

I'm don't think I've ever had one of those with Dad JASON Approach the bench Miss McConnell! Our father will hear your case now Our father, the honorable judge Presiding over our every decision NADIA And Mom can't take our calls She's busy planning balls Exhausting her kindness on strangers JASON Could we have been raised by two warmer people? NADIA Eskimos, maybe Dad’s birthday package showed up two weeks late, not bad JASON Not as bad as last year certainly NADIA Oh, the combined Christmas/Birthday/Easter package JASON Worst birthday... fourteen! NADIA No, eight! Remember when Dad thought that... JASON ...that Mom would... BOTH Disaster! JASON They rented out the zoo NADIA And our nanny walked us through BOTH And both of our parents were no-shows JASON (pretending to be their mother) Oh, Nadia, I am so sorry, this day just sneaks up on me every year (pretends to pop pills) NADIA (pretending to be their father) Kiddo, you know I rely on your mother to remind me of these things JASON Remember when he said he'd make it up to me? Two days later I struck out, we lost the game And he made me walk home alone from the little league park NADIA Aw… Here, honey, buy some therapy Dad's birthday check and...surprise, a note! (reading note) "Dear Jason: Please find enclosed this very thick package that came for you yesterday I talked with Father Flynn, and he told me you were in But call anyway when you open it...Notre Dame! But we always knew that you'd keep the McConnell flame burning Love, Dad" JASON What’d Dad get you? NADIA You mean what did Dad's secretary get me...? These earrings I think they're slimming...what do you think? JASON Come here. (They hug) WONDERLAND MATT Ivy's birthday's in a week I want to get her something... LUCAS Matt... NADIA How about a pair of faker boobs? An STD she hasn't had? TANYA You should throw her a surprise NADIA We'll help you make it uppercrust MATT Well, maybe something small...you'll help? NADIA Oh, Matthew...where's the trust? IVY Trust for what? NADIA That you've done smut MATT Oh, we're just talking about the rave LUCAS (waving bags of drugs) I made the snacks TANYA I've got the guide IVY I guess we're set LUCAS We need a ride TANYA The church's van PETER You have the keys MATT So I should steal it? TANYA Borrow! IVY Please? LUCAS Why not? MATT Where do I begin? KYRA It's all we got LUCAS One little sin Come to wonderland where “never” never finds you Your one enchanted night of dreams disguised in swirling lights Ten thousand friends to make an ecstasy of motion You're floating, rolling, free to drown in possibility MATT How far away is this rave? LUCAS Just make sure the tank is full TANYA Just come MATT This map is kinda vague LUCAS When we're close we'll feel the pull JASON I have some clothes that you can wear MATT And what is that supposed to mean? TANYA You look like a million bucks Wear something cheaper to the scene MATT There's no way to cross this road PETER I think the map is upside down LUCAS Our parents had it easier The disco didn't move around KYRA Yeah, but who can groove to that? And what's with spelling with your hands? (motions YMCA) IVY Could you ever see them rolling? EVERYONE God, they'd never understand Off to wonderland where “never” never finds you For one enchanted night of dreams disguised in swirling lights Ten thousand friends to make an ecstasy of motion You're floating, rolling, free to drown in possibility LUCAS Now, there's more than one way to feel alive That's why the party never ends Though ‘X’ is still the treat of choice I brought along some friends Boys and girls our show today Is brought to you by the letters 'G' and 'K' MATT What? LUCAS G and K fool! There both intense They enhance your X experience! NADIA Professor- LUCAS Exhibit A: ‘K’! Powder, white, and what a roll But take too much and beware the hole The ‘K’ Hole is a lonely prison Echoed words and tunnel vision This much, heaven's where you're headed More, and you'll regret it! Exhibit B: ‘G’! Liquid, clear, a bitter treat You're rolling smooth this shit is sweet Two capful's the most you take Any more's a big mistake This much after ‘X’ - well fed! More than that, my friends? You're dead It's fun for all and all for fun But keep in mind rule number one: They say, like X, this shit has limits Play the game, but please stay in it... (to Matt)Are you in or not? MATT Oh, what time? LUCAS We'd have to leave by nine... NADIA Come on it'll be fun! MATT Well I don’t know, maybe... (they try to convince him, Jason whispers to Ivy to give it a try) IVY Maybe? MATT Alright I'll go [Everyone cheers but Ivy kisses him on the cheek] PETER Can I borrow this for tonight? JASON Yeah but I don’t think you’re going to be wearing it that long. PETER Promise? JASON If you’re lucky… (They kiss deeply) PETER We should get going, we’re going to be late. (Nadia holds Ivy’s tank top up to herself) NADIA (Looking at Ivy's outfit) Oh thank God! I haven't seen your belly button for hours IVY Y'know, I've noticed that some of my clothes are missing NADIA Uh, yah, I think we've all noticed that MATT Hey... (noticing Ivy’s “attire”) Ready ladies? NADIA I'm not going MATT Aww, come on NADIA I said no Fucking go already... MATT Alright IVY Well, you have yourself a good night And don't touch anything NADIA ...says the whore, uncharacteristically... A QUIET NIGHT AT HOME A quiet night at home Silent night A joy to pass a quiet night at home A quiet night at home All my friends are gone And once again I find myself alone A quiet night at home Just me and my good Shepard He and I Can count a million sheep A quiet night at home Filling up that time Till finally I get to sleep A quiet night at home Mothers worried glances Take my hand smile sadly sigh Words of wisdom Talks of ships and princes Soothing sagas laced with loving eyes Sadness Who me sad A quiet night at home My favorite place Honey it’ll be okay Slim down dear things will change For after all you’ve such a pretty face A quiet night at home Play my siren song Attracting none my ship just wont come in Clinging to the rigid rock of ages Never ever even get the chance to sin Passing two productive hours Tearing through a hundred pages What a tale of star crossed lovers? Life is lived on other stages Pain adores me God ignores me Always thinking, thinking Sinking never dancing Never asked and asking why Why then never, never cry? Far to clever Big girl Big girl Ships and princes All gone home Alone again Again alone A quiet night at home With thoughts of why A quiet night at home Spent getting by ROLLING JASON (yelling) You're amazing! PETER (really yelling) Why? JASON I don't know, you just are! This whole thing is! MATT Lucas, what's wrong with her? LUCAS She's alright, she's just...fallen out, I'll take her outside. MATT No, no, I got it. JASON You feelin' it? PETER I didn't take it! I don't need it! (Peter tries to kiss Jason, but Jason pushes him away) JASON I need some air. PETER You can’t kiss me inside? JASON I said I need some air. PETER I heard you before. It was fine three hours ago... BEST KEPT SECRET JASON I know this world can have a place for us If we just try to find a way to trust that time will be kind In a fantasy I dream, awake, But reality is give and take You take what you can, you give time a chance We have to wait until the world is fast asleep I'll wipe away your doubt Show you why we keep The best kept secret The best kept secret...of all PETER All I ever want is there in your eyes They tell me I'm alright and I realize I always knew We whisper words when we're alone at night I want to hear them in the morning light Because with love on our side maybe we'd be alright Beneath a million stars there's no need to pretend I want to be with you, I think it's time that we end The best kept secret… JASON It's best kept secret PETER Just look around us! No one seems to care A thousand people saw us dancing there You have to give the world a chance-- JASON A chance to what? To see how deep the world can cut? This is all a fantasy Then we go back to school... Just think it through PETER Can't you see that's what I'm trying to do? You're such a coward! JASON Just like you PETER You know we can't go on Forever this way JASON All this 'forever'... Can't you live for today? PETER We have to grow up There's so much more to love JASON It's best kept secret PETER Best kept secret JASON, PETER Best kept secret PETER I love you, Jason. *They kiss CONFESSION STUDENTS We're doing time in confession It's a sacrament of oppression We have no need for forgiveness Because our shit's none of his business TANYA I got so high I fainted ALAN Sometimes I don't recycle ZACH I finally nailed my girlfriend LUCAS I took some extra Nyquil KYRA I blinked and it was over RORY I swear with all my life… STUDENTS I’ll sin no more, I'm sorry Lord We're doing time in confession It's a poor man's therapy session We have no need for forgiveness Because our shit's none of his business Hell no, our shit's none of his business PETER, MATT Father... PETER Can the church be wrong? MATT Can a sin be right? PETER If it's something that you feel MATT Something that you saw? PETER, MATT Goes against the law, what do you do? MATT Do you tell? PETER, MATT What do I follow? PRIEST The church's teachings come from centuries of study Questions of doctrine are best left to greater minds than yours This is not to say the church is never wrong But if you hold to her creed you'll never find yourself let down PETER Hear my voice MATT Did you really hear me?

IVY That I want to kiss you I've wanted to kiss you for so long JASON You're wasted and this is wrong IVY But why?

JASON I want to kiss you… IVY Don't you want me just like I want you? Please grant the birthday girl her wish JASON Okay, one kiss... ARE YOU THERE MATT Do you know—well, of course you do— What it’s like to stand outside? To watch the world and wish You didn’t hurt so much, you cried I know I’m not the only one And I know I shouldn’t care But when I feel these things are real I wish I felt you there And if I did, I’d ask you How come life is so unfair? PETER Do you know—well, of course you do— What it’s like to be afraid? That nothing will become Of all the plans that you have made? So I watch the girls surround him And he says it’s just a game I guess that I believe him But it hurts me just the same And I’m all about this stupid act So who am I to blame? BOTH Are you there? Are you there? Do you watch me when I cry? And if it’s in your power, How can you sit idly by? I try so hard to please you But you never seem to see MATT Is it my fate to sit and wait? PETER Wonder what my struggle means MATT I wish I knew that someone out there cared PETER Are you there? BOTH Cared for me MATT Who’s out there? PETER Matt? MATT Yeah! Are you all right? PETER I’m fine MATT Here, have some wine PETER This is holy wine! MATT The Father hasn’t blessed it yet PETER In that case… MATT Grab a chalice PETER Thanks. Life sucks… MATT Here, have the rest So why’d you leave? PETER The party? MATT Yeah PETER I was getting kind of bored MATT [Laugh] Oh, me too! PETER There’s another reason… MATT Yeah? PETER It sucks to be ignored MATT I know! I always fight to do what’s right, and this is my reward PETER This is my reward BOTH Are you there? Are you there? Can you make some time for me? They tell me that you’re out there And they tell me that you see I try to find the meaning God, you know how hard I’ve tried But I don’t know where I’m going And I don’t have any guide MATT They said things would get better But I guess…they lied PETER Are you there?

NO! Joseph be telling me “I let you ride the donkey all the way to Bethlehem” Now that was 2,000 years ago, ok? I’m talkin’ about what has he done for me lately?

Time to be a grown up We done gone and made the call – you need to pick the phone up Ring your mother, tell it all, go ahead and own up Stop your lying, drop the drama Tell the world but first tell mama Let her know! REPUTATION STAINED RORY (directing) Jason, Matt - fight scene from the top MATT Romeo the love I bear thee can't afford No better term than this, thou art a villain JASON Tybalt, the reason that I have to love thee Doth much excuse the appertaining rage to such a greeting Villain I am none, farewell I see thou knowst me not PETER Calm dishonorable, vile submission JASON Gentle Mercutio, put thy rapier up RORY (directing still) Ivy, next scene - and Nadia I checked and at no point does the nurse slap Juliet NADIA Alack the day, he's gone, he's killed, he's dead JASON (same time as Nadia) Courage, the man, the hurt can't be too much IVY Can heaven be so envious? Hath Romeo slain himself? PETER (same time as Ivy) Why the devil came you between us? I was slain under your arm NADIA Shame come to Romeo IVY Blistered be thy tongue for such a wish IVY / JASON He was not born to shame / I thought for all the best IVY Oh what a beast was I to chide at him NADIA I just really think there's a slap there... MATT Thou, wretched boy that did consort him here Shalt with him hence! (Matt & Jason sword fight, but it turns into a real fight) MATT What the fuck, man? JASON What? MATT Faggot! JASON What the fuck did you call me? MATT You heard me! RORY Sister, sister! Get out here right now! Sister! IVY Matt, get the fuck off! SISTER CHANTELLE Hey you two! Where do you think you are? Public school? Matt, follow me... IVY Matt. Wait up. MATT Fine. PETER What was that about? JASON I don't know... PETER Okay...well Listen, I had the craziest dream or...vision last night! I saw the Virgin Mary and she was...[whispered] black! And she had these... Angels who were her like backup singers and anyway... She told that I needed to tell my mother about us, so What are you doing for spring break? JASON Come on, we're gonna be late for class PETER Jason, stop, listen to me JASON What? You're kidding, right? PETER I need to tell her, I need for her to know And I need you there when I do it JASON Okay ...let's tell her! So she can call my mom who'll immediately tell my dad And they can all rush down here to conference with Father Or maybe...maybe I just can call Notre Dame and ask them for a leave of absence while I deal with a sexual identity crisis! Or maybe...maybe my dad will just beat the shit out of me and disown me Yeah, smart money says that's his first move... Sure, let's tell her, when do we leave? PETER Jason, I can't deal with this anymore! I have to talk about it...I almost told the priest in confession the other day JASON What? Are you out of your mind? PETER Jason this doesn't have to be such an... issue Look, two months from now, we'll be out of here and this won't be a problem JASON No, no! Peter, this will always be a problem! PETER What are you saying? JASON This...us...whatever...Peter, it needs to stop EVER AFTER PETER You stand before me and I barely know you Is it so easy to leave? Hmm? Where is the boy who said I was his soul mate? Where is the boy I believed? We climbed an escape Grown from seeds that you planted You slew all my giants, ignoring your own Now that they haunt you I'm left with my courage alone When did we lose the ever after? I thought the good guys would triumph I trusted a hero, I didn't hear his goodbye I guess it was lost in the talk of a straight-acting coward JASON Who are you to go and blame this all on me? You're the one who went ahead and changed the rules What!? You found your way and now it's all okay? Is it that simple then? Really!? You're such a fool! It's time to wake up Peter, put away the fairytale The clock is striking midnight, can't you hear? Not all tales have happy endings, we can't keep pretending 'Cause there's no such thing as heroes who are queer PETER When did we lose the ever after? You can't be the same boy I followed...thought I'd always follow You've hurt me more than you know All that I wanted was you, you were my tomorrow... JASON Peter? Promise you won't say anything to anybody? SPRING NADIA Spring, a time for love, a time for two A time when lovers start to coo Spring can lick me IVY Are you almost finished with this pretty ode? NADIA Spring, to spread the spirit I Rip wings off butterflies Then show small children If you see me on Groundhog Day Stay the hell out of my way I'll be the one with a gun Spring, I hate the word As I hate Hell, all Julliets, and class Mother Nature is a turd She can shove her flowers right up her ass Tra-la-la If I ran the show, I'd say baby...baby...let it snow! IVY Hey Leaving soon? JASON Tonight IVY Yeah, me too Are you ok? JASON Yeah, hanging in there IVY Good Listen, I...I just didn't want to take off without Apologizing for the way I acted at my party I was wasted, I didn't mean to throw myself at you JASON It's ok...it was cute ONE IVY But I meant all those things I told you My feelings for you are real and I... Just know I wouldn't lie JASON But why? IVY There's something about you, Jason I can't put my finger on the why... But I'd like to try I don't know just what it is I'm doing here When nothing's clear JASON You want me to kiss you, don't you? Kiss you is what I'm supposed to do... IVY So, are you going to? JASON Am I...? IVY If you like me, kiss me, don't stop I want you, you see it in my eyes I've tried, but it's hard to hide JASON Hide with me IVY Chasing you is such a game of hide and seek JASON Lie with me Lie with me {INSTRUMENTAL BREAK} NADIA: And I keep on waiting... MATT: Waiting in the rain NADIA: And I keep on hating all... MATT: Hating all the pain NADIA: And I keep on trying... MATT: Trying to begin NADIA: And I keep on dying... BOTH: dying to fit in IVY One forever; can you feel it? I'm so happy. Does it show? Baby, you are all I need Hold me; don't let go JASON One tomorrow; make me promise God you have such pretty eyes Baby, you are all I need I have butterflies BOTH One connection; One you promised, One religion; One today Here inside you I am certain: You can help me find my way PETER Are you there? Please pick up the phone I've never felt so all alone Left with paper, courage... all alone Crawl inside and want to die... alone JASON One again, I'm getting closer No regrets, I see the light This is now, and this is perfect God, I know that this is right IVY One confession: God, I love you Jason, take me all the way Screw today, and screw tomorrow Don't go, won't you stay Don't go.... Won't you stay... (during Matt’s solo…) MATT And I'm not letting go Of what we had so you should know That I will find you, I will mind you You were once my one IVY One moment, one chance connection One vision, one stolen stare One cover, one dance, one lover One vision, one answered prayer JASON, IVY Don't go.... Won't you stay... (during Peter’s solo…) PETER Once I had a hero... I guess he couldn't stay Fear took up his trembling hand And led him far away IVY, JASON One I love you; One forever One tomorrow, One today Deep inside you I am certain: ALL You can help me find my way [Thanks to Mii Mii for script]
