Original Date of Post: 04/13/2008
Narrator: Finally, senior year! Once you’ve made it here, it all goes downhill. It starts to hit you at the beginning, seeing all of the new freshmen; it can bring back some memories.
Misty: Marisa, who's the girl hanging next to you? Is she a neighbor of yours?
Marisa: Not at all, she's family.
Misty: Family? I didn't know you had a little sister?
Brock: THERE’S ANOTHER MARISA? THERE’S NO GOD!!!
Marisa: Shut the hell up, you pervert! For your information, this is my cousin Laura. She is only a freshman so I don’t want you doing anything stupid around her Brock.
Brock: Feh, in your dreams. For your information, I have my own little brother coming to this school.
Marisa: Great, the Brock Harrison tradition continues to live on. Am I to assume that your brother is philandering pervert as well?
Brock: It just so happens that Forrest is a nice, respectable boy. (Forrest walks up)
Forrest: Did you check out the rack on that chick?
Brock: FORREST! THAT’S MISS PRIMA!
Marisa: Nice, respectable boy, huh?
Laura: Please don’t leave me alone with him.
Marisa: Don’t worry Laura; I am going to see to it personally that Brock isn’t going to be your Senior Adviser.
Misty: I can’t wait to get my freshman. Why didn’t we get that treatment when we were freshmen?
Marisa: Who knows? (May and Drew walk up)
Drew: Hey you guys!
Marisa: You seem pretty calm for someone who is getting ready for another audition. Although, it would be cute to see you two playing the roles of Romeo and Juliet!
Drew: I’m always ready for the auditions, unlike some people.
Marisa: Zip it! I don’t mind it if I get to do a monologue for auditions. But when it comes to singing, I just can’t do that. That’s why I’m glad we’re doing Romeo and Juliet this time around. How about you May? Feeling nervous yet?
May: As long as Harley isn’t going out for the part of Juliet, I’ll be fine.
Marisa: You’re a big pipe dreamer, aren’t you?
Max: May! May! There you are!
May: (Groans) I thought I lost the little twerp!
Max: May! Mom said that you’re supposed to be by my side today.
Misty: I thought your brother was too young for high school.
Drew: He got to skip all the way to high school.
Max: That’s right I’m that smart, unlike some people in the family.
May: (Growls) Excuse me you guys, I’m going to have a nice, family conversation with my darling, little brother. (They walk to the other side of the hallway) Now listen here you annoying little brat, I don’t want you to follow me, embarrass me in front of my friends, or get in the way when I’m with Drew. So when you get your Senior Adviser, you follow him and not me.
Max: I’m telling Mom that you were mean to me! (He runs off)
May: How they let him skip all the way to high school, I will never know. (A little later in the gym)
Scott: Seniors, please stand in line to get your papers.
Misty: Hey, I got Marisa’s little cousin. Who’s your freshman Ash?
Ash: It’s some boy named Paul.
Brock: Hey, they gave me a girl!
Misty: WHAT?! Give me that! (Grabs the paper) Principal Oak must be getting senile in his old age if he can trust you to be an adviser to a girl. (Brock groans)
Brock: Come now, you sell me short. I would never try anything with a freshman. It would be wrong and I would be arrested if I were to try…
Misty: TRY WHAT?
Brock: Nothing at all! I'm resisting all temptation! (A girl walks up)
Zoey: Hi, are you Brock?
Brock: (Stammering) Uh, yeah, I’m Brock.
Zoey: Oh that’s great. My name is Zoey. It’s nice to finally meet you. Um, are you okay Brock? (Continues stammering)
Misty: He’ll be fine.
Zoey: Are you sure? Because he looks like he’s having a seizure or someone on some sort of medication.
Brock: (Thinking) I hit the jackpot! Out of all of the little bratty freshmen, she’s the best. This may be my year after all. (Forrest walks up)
Forrest: Hey Brock…Hey what’s wrong?
Misty: Take a wild guess!
Brock: Oh…Forrest, what’s up?
Forrest: I take it that you’re familiar with all of the people at this school. I was wondering if you could tell me a little more on my adviser.
Brock: Why I’d be honored to see who you have. You see Zoey, I love looking after my little brother.
Zoey: How nice.
Brock: Let me see that paper. (Brock screams)
Ash: What’s the matter?
Misty: It can’t be that bad.
Brock: NOT THAT BAD?! My brother’s adviser is…
Harley: Yoo-hoo! Oh Brock, I am so thrilled that I get to be an adviser to your little brother. Hello little man, I’m Harley.
Forrest: Ugh, nice to meet you?
Harley: Oh, your little brother is just the cutest! Don’t you worry about a thing hon. I’ll take good care of him. Come along Forrest, we’ve got places to go and people to see. (They leave)
Brock: It’s not going to be so bad. Harley is not really Michael Jackson. It’s all in my mind! Nothing’s going to happen.
Marcus: Poor Harley, he’s been trying to fill the void ever since Tucker went away to college.
Brock: Oh he’s not using any of my siblings to fill any void. (Brock runs off)
Misty: BROCK, YOU FORGOT YOUR FRESHMAN!
Zoey: (Sighs) Men!
Misty: So Marcus, aren’t you going to introduce us to your new friend?
Marcus: Sorry! Everyone, this is Wally! Wally, this is my…um, posse!
Wally: Hi everybody! Whoa! I didn’t know you read "Weird But True Facts"!
Marcus: You know I do! Just got this bad boy in this morning.
Wally: Wow, I didn’t know that the Lockness monster was that big!
Marcus: No, that’s just a blown-up image. The real Lockness monster is actually the size of a midget…like Lincoln.
Wally: Wow! (May walks up)
May: Hey, there’s where you all are. I want you guys to meet my freshman, Dawn. I want you to meet Ash, Misty, and Marcus.
Dawn: Hi everybody.
May: Is that your freshmen Misty?
Misty: Oh no, this is Brock’s freshmen. Her name is Zoey. (Zoey walks up to Dawn)
Zoey: I love your hair Dawn! It’s just so bouncy and beautiful! (Dawn blushes)
Dawn: Well thank you.
Marcus: Where’s your better half May? Oh, there he is! (Drew walks up) Who’s your freshman?
Drew: Her name’s Brianna. Come on and meet everybody. (Brianna blushes and takes a step back) She’s just a little shy I suppose. (Marisa and Laura walk up)
Laura: Are you sure that boy will be no where near me?
Marisa: You have my word.
Ash: So you’re Marisa’s cousin. Don’t worry about a thing. Misty here is your adviser and she won’t let anything bad happen to you. (Laura blushes)
Laura: Thank you. Oh, I didn’t catch your name.
Ash: My name is Ash. (A boy walks up)
Paul: You’re Ash Ketchum?
Ash: Huh? Yeah, that’s me. Oh, you must be my freshman Paul! It’s nice to finally meet…
Paul: Whatever. (He walks off)
Misty: (Sarcastic) Well, he’s friendly.
Marisa: And May, I think you should know that your little brother Max is in good hands since Tracey is his adviser.
May: As long as he’s out of my hair at school, I could care less.
Marisa: Now Misty, you take good care of Laura. Marcus, I don’t want you corrupting Wally into believing any of your crackpot theories.
Marcus: They are not theories, they’re true facts!
Wally: Weird Al Yankovic is frozen in a tube next to M.C. Hammer?
Marcus: You bet! And big-time executives thaw them out when they need them for a special or a reality show.
Marisa: I wonder if your mother dropped you on your head repeatedly when you were a baby! (A boy comes up)
Sylvester: Excuse me, could you help me find my adviser. I’m looking for someone named Marisa.
Marisa: I’m Marisa and as far as I know I’m the only Marisa in the senior class. So I take it that you are Sylvester.
Sylvester: Oh what a relief! It’s nice to meet you Marisa.
Dawn: Wait a minute! Marisa…I thought you looked familiar! Last year, our middle school took a field trip to see Guys & Dolls. You were General Cartwright! And May, you were Sarah Brown. (May blushes)
May: I take it that you are interested in theatre.
Dawn: I sure am!
May: Then you’ll love this we’re doing Romeo and Juliet this time around.
Dawn: I would love that! I’m such a sucker for romantic plays!
Drew: You should audition Dawn, I’m sure you’ll get a part.
Dawn: You really think so?
Zoey: Come on, I’m sure you could even be Juliet if you wanted to.
Dawn: Whoa, let’s not get carried away. But I will audition for the play if you all think I should.
Marisa: Well good, we could use some fresh blood in the theatre. How about you Sylvester, you game?
Sylvester: Nah, I’ll pass. I think my father just wants me to focus on my school work and not get caught up in anything else that could distract me.
Marisa: Suit yourself. (During lunch)
Misty: Where’s Paul?
Ash: How should I know? I tried catching up to him after first period and all he did was flash me the peace sign.
Drew: That wasn’t the peace sign you idiot, he was flipping you off.
Ash: Oh shut up Drew! At least my freshman said something to me.
Drew: What was that? “Screw you?”
Ash: He might have said that. But anyways, your freshman is a friggin’ mute.
Drew: She’s just shy, which is more than what I can say for your little thug!
Misty: Boys, boys, boys, stop the fighting!
Laura: Are they always like this?
Misty: Sometimes!
Sakura: They’re boys. They always fight.
Misty: Hold on a second Sakura, where’s your freshman?
Sakura: I thought I told you. I’m not a part of the whole adviser thing. I had a second option.
Ash: What was that?
Sakura: Taking A.P. classes.
Ash: I could do that!
Drew: When pigs fly! (Nearby)
Brianna: I can’t believe it! My adviser is none other than Sky.
Dawn: Sky? I thought his name was Drew. Oh, now I remember. You had a “crush” on him last year when we got to see Guys & Dolls. (Brianna blushes) Usually, you’re a big chatter box, but whenever you’re around Drew, you clam up.
Brianna: I could just imagine being on stage with him, embracing him, kissing him!
Dawn: I think you should know that Drew has a…Oh God, she’s gone! (Zoey walks up)
Zoey: Hi Dawn!
Dawn: Oh hey, um…it’s Zoey right?
Zoey: Yeah! How’s your first day going?
Dawn: Okay, more or less. (May waves her hands to them) Come on, let’s sit and eat. (They sit down)
Zoey: Hey Misty, since you’re friends with Brock, I was wondering if you’ve seen him this morning.
Misty: You know I haven’t seen him at all since we left the gym this morning.
Ash: I think he mumbled something about not letting his brother being manipulated by the “Flaming Queen of the West.” (Brock runs up)
Brock: Hi guys!
Misty: There you are!
Ash: So what did you do to get Harley to tone down his flamboyancy around your brother?
Brock: I bribed him with something he couldn’t turn down.
Drew: What’s that? (Girlish scream)
Harley: TWO TICKETS TO WEST SIDE STORY!!! This is such a dream come true!
Brock: But I’m still worried that my brother could still be manipulated.
Misty: Fat chance of that happening.
Brock: Now back to business! So Zoey, how is this fine day treating you? I forgot to give you the tour of the school. How about we take a tour together?
Zoey: Pass. (Brock groans)
Drew: Oh hi Brianna, come and sit with us.
Brianna: I would like to Sky.
Drew: What’d you just call me?
Brianna: I mean Drew! I meant Drew! (Brianna groans)
Drew: If I’m not mistaking, you saw me in Guys & Dolls last year. Well it’s either that or somebody was making fun of me for it. But either way, it’s good to finally hear you speak.
Brianna: I’m sorry Mr. Sky, I just felt intimidated meeting such a terrific actor like you!
Drew: Uh, you can just call me Drew. (Marisa walks up)
Marisa: Hello everybody.
Misty: Where’s your freshman?
Marisa: I didn’t see him anywhere in the cafeteria.
Laura: I saw him in the library a few minutes ago.
Marisa: Great to know that. Eh, what’s up with Harley?
Harley: (Singing) I feel pretty! Oh so pretty! I feel pretty and witty and…
All: GAY! (In the library)
Marisa: There you are.
Sylvester: Huh? Oh hi Marisa.
Marisa: What are you doing in here?
Sylvester: Oh, just…you know, studying!
Marisa: Studying? What on earth could you be studying? It’s the first day of school.
Sylvester: Well I just feel like I can get a head start on things now. I just don’t want to get behind on my studies.
Marisa: (Thinking) Great, he’s another Sakura. (Aloud) Well, at least put the book down and have some lunch with me.
Sylvester: No thanks.
Marisa: Okay. I’ll leave you alone then.
Sylvester: Thank you.
Marisa: That was weird. (In the art room)
Tracey: Almost done. (The door opens)
Max: Tracey, there you are!
Tracey: Hey Max.
Max: Sorry, I was in the middle of looking for my sister, but now that I found you, I guess you can help me with a few things.
Tracey: Sure thing Max, I was just doing a few things of my own…
Max: Wow, I had no idea you were an artist! (Tracey groans) Let me see! These are great! (Tracey grabs his sketchbook) What the…
Tracey: Sorry Max, I never like having people seeing my artwork before it’s all done. Plus I don’t think that some of these pictures are age appropriate for you.
Max: Oh come on! Just a quick peek!
Tracey: No can do Max! (Marisa walks in)
Marisa: There you are.
Tracey: Hey, what are you doing here?
Marisa: I had a hunch you were in here.
Max: Wow, you must like her a lot if you drew all of those pictures of her. (Tracey covers Max’s mouth)
Tracey: Kids, they say the stupidest things! (Nervous laugh) So where’s Sylvester?
Marisa: He’s studying.
Tracey: Studying? What for? It’s only the first day!
Marisa: I said the same thing. I just think that he’s just nervous that he might slip through the cracks. You know how some people get with their studies.
Tracey: Like Sakura?
Max: Do you draw other girls?
Tracey: WHAT?
Marisa: Yeah Tracey, do you?
Tracey: Oh come on, you know I only draw you.
Marisa: Uh-huh!
Max: You must enjoy her body…I wonder why there were a lot of shots of her breasts?
Tracey: OKAY, that’s enough from you. Come on Max, let’s go try and find your sister. (After school in front of the theatre)
Marisa: So I see you’ve been corrupting Wally.
Marcus: Hey, I can’t help it if he likes crackpot theories as much as I do. And you should start believing them too!
Marisa: I’m sorry. I just don’t believe that Stevie Wonder is faking his blindness and sees everything clearly just to report it back to the paparazzi.
Marcus: For your information, it’s Ray Charles, not Stevie Wonder. And he reports back to the FBI.
Marisa: Marcus, Ray Charles is dead.
Marcus: Oh, but that’s what they want you to believe. He’s really alive and is a famous wrestler in Mexico.
Marisa: (Sarcastic) What’s his name, El Negro?
Sylvester: Hi Marisa.
Marisa: Oh, you scared me. How are you doing?
Sylvester: Good. Sorry I blew you off at lunch today. Maybe I’ll stop by the cafeteria tomorrow.
Marisa: I would like that very much Sylvester.
Sylvester: What are you guys doing?
Marcus: Going into the theatre for a little bit.
Marisa: You’re welcome to join if you want to.
Sylvester: Thanks, but no thanks. I have to get home and clean up before my dad gets home. I’ll see you tomorrow. (He walks away)
Marisa: Hmm…
Marcus: Yo! Little buddy. (Snaps his fingers)
Marisa: Huh? Oh sorry, just zoned out for a second. (Inside the theatre)
Marcus: What are you doing?
Dawn: I just met Miss Vivian and she told me that for auditions, she wants us to do a monologue for Romeo and Juliet.
Marcus: I see that you’re not wasting any time in preparing.
Dawn: Yeah! Auditions are next week and I have to get started on memorizing. I would kill for any role in this play!
Marisa: Hey keep that up and you just might be Juliet.
Dawn: You really think so?
Marisa: Absolutely! Plus, I have a strong feeling that Drew is going to be Romeo.
Marcus: Hey, why can’t you have one of those feelings about me? Why does Drew get to have the choice roles?
Brianna: Drew as Romeo? That would be the greatest thing ever. And if he is going to play Romeo, then I want to be his Juliet.
Dawn: Brianna, I don’t think you understand.
Brianna: I understand perfectly. If he is Romeo and I’m Juliet, we will fall in love and he will be my high school sweetheart.
Dawn: Brianna, Drew already has a girlfriend!
Brianna: Huh?
Dawn: Yeah, it’s my senior adviser, May. She’s Drew’s girlfriend!
Brianna: Not for long. Mark my words, I will be Juliet and Drew will be mine.
Marisa: Great, another obsessive chick!
Marcus: Like Erika?
Marisa: You’ve got it! (That night at Marisa’s house)
Laura: Are you busy?
Marisa: Nope. What’s on your mind?
Laura: Well, I was wondering about a couple of things right now. How did you and Tracey fall in love?
Marisa: Oh wow! Do you have a crush on somebody? (Laura blushes) Alright cousin! It’s only your first day of school and you managed to get your first crush. Now come on, tell me all about him.
Laura: He seems very sweet and so cute.
Marisa: Well who is he?
Laura: Ash Ketchum.
Marisa: Huh? Okay Laura, I think I blacked out for the last few seconds because I could have sworn you said Ash Ketchum.
Laura: I did.
Marisa: Please tell me that it’s a different guy. Someone who isn’t a senior and isn’t dumb as a doorknob! Please tell me that there’s another Ash Ketchum in the entire school!
Laura: No, it’s Ash Ketchum. He was sitting with us at lunch today. I wonder what kind of girls he likes. I wonder what kind of music he likes. I have to wear my best outfit tomorrow. (She leaves the room)
Marisa: Oh sweet Jesus! (The next morning in the girl’s bathroom)
Misty: Laura has a crush on Ash? Didn’t she see me with him yesterday? Didn’t she make any kind of connection to me and Ash being a couple?
Marisa: I don’t think she paid too much attention to you if she’s been focusing on Ash.
Misty: (Sighs) Great, I feel special already. Did you at least tell her last night that he’s my boyfriend?
Marisa: Oh…I knew I forgot to do something.
Misty: Come on. We got to let her down nice and easy!
Marisa: Easy for you. You’re just her adviser; I live in the same house as her. (They walk out of the bathroom)
Laura: Marisa, guess what! I have big news!
Marisa: There you are Laura! We wanted a word with you.
Laura: Oh me first! I wanted to tell you that I have a new crush.
Marisa: You do, already? That was fast!
Laura: Yeah, so much cuter than that Ash what’s-his-name! (Misty growls) This guy is the whole package and he’s a senior.
Marisa: (Thinking) As long as she’s not chasing Ash! (Marcus runs up)
Marcus: Marisa! You are not going to believe this!
Marisa: Not now Marcus! Who is this guy?
Laura: Just the hottest!
Marcus: You don’t understand Marisa!
Marisa: What I understand is that you are bugging the hell out of me when I am trying to talk to my cousin. Now who is this guy Laura?
Gary: Hi Marisa.
Laura: Him.
Marcus: That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you Marisa. Gary’s back! (Marisa faints)
Gary: Marisa, Marisa, are you alright? (Marisa opens her eyes) Oh thank goodness you are okay. I got worried for a… (Marisa punches him in the gut)
Marisa: GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME YOU PERVERT!
Laura: Wait a minute, you guys know each other?
Marisa: Unfortunately! This guy is the biggest pervert in this school. He's even more disgusting than Brock! And I want you to stay away from this scum bag.
Gary: (Sighs) I guess I deserve that. Marisa, I want to apologize to you for all of the pain I’ve caused you in the past. You have every right in the world to be mad at me and I completely understand that. I just wish that you could find it in your heart to forgive me one day.
Marisa: (Sweetly) Oh Gary; that was a sweet apology. (Angrily) If you ever go anywhere near my little cousin, I will rip out your appendix the old fashion way! Are we clear?
Gary: Crystal! (Marisa and Laura walk away)
Laura: What’s the big deal with him? Was he a past boyfriend?
Marisa: Sweet baby Jesus no! Well you see, ever since my freshmen year, Gary has had this slight crush on me. Now when I mean slight, I mean he couldn’t keep his hands off of me. I never told anyone else this but he even tried to violate me my sophomore year.
Laura: Really?
Marisa: He had me pinned up against the wall. (Laura gasps) While I was up against the wall, Tracey saw what was happening and put a stop to it.
Laura: And after that, you and Tracey fell madly in love with each other? How romantic!
Marisa: What? No! It took me almost two years to get Tracey. But that’s not the point! The point is I don’t care how much acting he put into his phony apology. I know for a fact that he’s still the immature boy I knew him to be. Plus, I don’t want to see you get hurt like I was. (Laura sighs)
Laura: (Thinking) I know Marisa is just looking out for me, but something tells me that there’s good within him. (Sylvester walks up)
Sylvester: Hi Marisa.
Marisa: Oh hey Sylvester! Oh my God, what the hell happened to your eye?
Sylvester: Oh, the black eye? I didn’t think anybody would notice it.
Marisa: It’s all purple and swollen! I think a lot of people will notice! Is somebody bullying you?
Sylvester: No, no, no! Nothing like that. It’s kind of embarrassing to talk about how it happened. I wasn’t being careful, that’s all. Don’t worry about it. (Nearby)
Drew: Huh? What’s this?
Ash: Looks like a love note!
Drew: It must be from May.
Ash: How cute! Let’s see what she says.
Drew: Um, this is a private note. Go away.
Ash: Fine. (He leaves)
Drew: Huh? This isn’t from May! “I’m hot for you! You’re the cutest!”
May: Drew!
Drew: Oh crap, I can’t let May see this. (He hides the letter in his pocket)
May: There you are.
Drew: Oh, hi May.
May: You look all sweaty and nervous. What’s going on?
Drew: Nothing. It’s just…very hot in here. That’s all! Come on. Let’s get to class. (Nearby)
Brianna: Oh Drew.
Narrator: About a week or so has passed and Brianna is still pussy-footing around Drew. Paul and Ash were still barely talking to each other, so Ash has basically given up all hope of trying to get to know his freshman. Brock was able to rest easy as his brother swore that he hasn’t been corrupted by Harley. To prove this fact, Forrest groped Jessie’s breasts and got the crap smacked out of him. Brock was never more proud of his baby brother. Meanwhile, Brock was trying to get to know his freshman Zoey a little better. But at every opportunity, she turned him down. It was now the day of the Romeo and Juliet auditions and just about every girl is going out for the part of Juliet…Oh and Harley too.
Erika: Make way peons, I’m going to be this school’s Juliet.
Grace: Here we go!
Kelly: Again! (Marisa and Marcus walk inside)
Marcus: Well, it’s time to do another audition. I never got a chance to ask but, what part are you going for?
Marisa: To tell you the truth, I’m going to audition for the part of Juliet.
Marcus: ARE YOU CRAZY?! Do you have any idea how many girls are going out for that part?
Marisa: Let’s see; Erika, Jessie, Grace, May, Kelly, Brianna, Dawn and Harley. I just want to give it a shot.
Dawn: I can’t believe all of these girls. Is it always this crazy?
Marcus: It was quite brutal when we did Guys & Dolls last year. (Sylvester walks in)
Marisa: Sylvester, you came to the audition. Did you finally change your mind?
Sylvester: Oh no, I just came by to wish you all…
Marcus: DON’T YOU SAY ANOTHER WORD!!!
Sylvester: What’s his problem?
Marisa: Please forgive my spastic friend. You see, we in the theatre are pretty anal about our traditions. So instead of saying…those two words, just say "break a leg".
Marcus: That’s right! Saying…those two words here means bad luck. And if I don’t get a part because of your little freshman, I’m going to... (Marisa glares and growls at him) I’m going to make you dinner. (Nervous laugh)
Sylvester: Well, I guess I can stay for a little bit.
Narrator: Most of the auditions went surprisingly well. All of the girls felt that they were going to get the part of Juliet…Oh and Harley too. But as we all know, there can only be one girl…or gender confused male to play the role. After Marisa’s audition, she went outside to take a drink from the water fountain. She was about to walk back inside when she saw Sylvester in the distance. From where she stood, she saw Sylvester being pulled into a car by a man and then drove off quickly. What could be going on with Sylvester? We rejoin everybody the next morning...
Marisa: (Thinking) I know it couldn’t have been my imagination. Could it be true?
Sylvester: Hey Marisa.
Marisa: Oh Sylvester, I was wondering…
Sylvester: Oh yeah, I’m sorry I left so early. I forgot to tell you that you were great up on stage yesterday.
Marisa: That’s okay. Um Sylvester… (Marcus runs up)
Marcus: Marisa! They’re posted! We’re in the play!
Marisa: Not now Marcus, I’m in the middle of something. (He grabs Marisa’s arm) Let me go you idiot! (In the theatre)
Marcus: I’m Friar Lawrence! And look little buddy, you got a part too.
Marisa: (Sarcastic) Yeah. I’m the Nurse. Perfect. Oh, that’s a real self-esteem booster!
Sylvester: It can’t be that bad. What’s so wrong about playing the Nurse?
Marcus: Since the Nurse is someone who is…let’s just say big boned.
Marisa: Okay enough talking about my part. So May, I hear you’re up against Dawn and Brianna for the part of Juliet.
Marcus: And that your boyfriend is playing Romeo!
May: Yeah, we’re doing callbacks this afternoon.
Sylvester: Are you nervous?
May: Not really. I’m just relieved that I’m actually going up against two girls and not some gender-confused boy.
Drew: Don’t get too confident. I wouldn’t count out Brianna and Dawn just yet because they were pretty good in their auditions yesterday.
Brianna: You really mean that Drew?
Drew: Huh? Yeah, I’m sure you would make a fine Juliet.
Brianna: I LOVE YOU DREW!
Drew: What the hell?
Brianna: You heard me! I fell in love with you last year when I saw you as Sky Masterson. But when I found out that you were my senior adviser, I was so happy I could cry. (Drew blushes) I just wanted you to know that. (May sighs)
Drew: Whoa. Uh Brianna, I think you should know that you are a very sweet girl…but my heart belongs to another. (He turns to May) My heart belongs to May. (Brianna sighs) So I take it that you were the one who sent me the love note.
May: She sent what now?
Marisa: Wow, was that the bell? Time for class!
Marcus: I didn’t hear any bells.
Marisa: Just shut the hell up and keep walking. (That afternoon in the theatre)
Miss Vivian: Okay Brianna, if that’s your decision, I’ll respect it.
May: What’s going on? (Miss Vivian walks away)
Brianna: Break a leg May.
May: What are you talking about?
Brianna: I’m pulling out from the callback sheet. I told Miss Vivian that I would be much happier as an extra.
May: What? Why did you do a stupid thing like that? You could have been Juliet!
Brianna: I have my reasons May. It just hit me that it would be too much for me to handle at this time. Besides, I’m sure you and Drew will have a blast up on stage again. (May blushes)
May: Now come on!
Brianna: I’m sorry for hitting on your boyfriend. And for sending him the love note! And for making a voodoo doll that looks like you to…Oh dear, I said too much. I must be on my way! (She walks off)
May: She scares me. (Nearby)
Dawn: This is scary! I don’t know if I can go through with this.
Zoey: What? Come on Dawn, I just heard that Brianna pulled out. So it’s now down to you and May.
Dawn: And that’s what’s even scarier! I’m up against someone a lot older and…
Zoey: Age ain’t nothing but a number! I have faith that you will get the part of Juliet. I know the odds may seem to be against you, but you can get through the cold readings.
Dawn: Thanks Zoey, you’re a really good convincer. You know, you should really consider being a politician.
Zoey: Nah, there aren’t that many females in office and it’s too dirty. For now, I’ll stick with doing hair and make-up. And I guarantee that when you’re Juliet, I’ll make you the prettiest little thing to hit Pallet High. (Dawn blushes)
Narrator: A couple of minutes later, it was time for the callbacks. With this, both May and Dawn had to go up on stage and read from the script with Drew. Both girls were exceptionally well and the decision was tough for Miss Vivian. After the callbacks, Miss Vivian went into her office to try and make a decision for the part of Juliet.
Dawn: Oh my God! I know I didn’t make it.
Marisa: What the hell are you talking about? You were great!
Dawn: You really think so?
Marcus: Boy, I haven’t seen so much chemistry since May and Drew were singing together last year. Although, that isn’t to say that May wasn’t great either. You know, it really was a tough decision! You two were great! Everybody was great! Oh, do I hear the bell? Time for class!
Marisa: I didn’t hear a bell!
Marcus: You're just going to leave me dangling, aren't you? (Miss Vivian comes out of her office)
Miss Vivian: I have made my decision. It wasn’t an easy decision to make. But I will say this. For the one who isn’t Juliet, you will get to be the understudy for if the first choice backs down. Our Juliet is…Dawn. Congratulations!
Dawn: OH MY GOD! I’M GOING TO BE JULIET! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!
Zoey: Didn’t I tell you? (May walks up)
May: Hey Dawn.
Dawn: May, I wouldn’t have made it if it wasn’t for you.
May: Me? But I didn’t do anything.
Dawn: Not true. Ever since I saw you up on stage in Guys & Dolls, I’ve wanted to follow in your footsteps.
May: So in other words…I inspired you to go out for the auditions?
Dawn: Exactly! I’m so glad that you are my senior adviser.
May: Dawn, I will be there for you to help you with anything.
Zoey: You can count me in too!
Dawn: Thanks you guys!
