(Peter runs on, frantically praying)
PETER
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee
Blessed art thou amongst women
And blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus
Holy Mary, Mother of God
Pray for us sinners
Now, and at the hour of our d**h
(Jason enters and approaches Peter)
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
(The male students enter)
MALE STUDENTS
Jason
LUCAS
You're a superstar, man
MALE STUDENTS
Jason
ZACK
Kid, they couldn't guard you
STUDENTS
Jason
PETER
It's always the same
JASON
No, let's duck in here and...
(Peter and Jason are stopped by the crowd of female students)
FEMALE STUDENTS
Jason
DIANE
Have a date for prom yet?
FEMALE STUDENTS
Jason
KYRA
Did you lose my number?
FEMALE STUDENTS
Jason
JASON
This is all just a game
You and I
You take my hand leaving me breathless
Take a look in these big blue eyes 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
JASON
Think that you could lend a hand here?
PETER
If I had the time...
MALE STUDENTS
Jason
JASON
Peter, don't you worry
MALE STUDENTS
Jason
JASON
Cause I wouldn't leave you
MALE STUDENTS
Jason
JASON
Not even for Zack
ZACK
Yo
JASON
Hey, lookin' good man
FEMALE STUDENTS
Jason
JASON
What we have is perfect
FEMALE STUDENTS
Jason
PETER
Then we'll tell my mother?
FEMALE STUDENTS
Jason
(The other students are gone)
JASON
Let's lay off the crack
You and I
You take my hand leaving me breathless
Take a look in these big blue eyes 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 said 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 you're the best act this school has ever seen
JASON
So take a bow, and I'll...
PETER
You know what I mean!
It was just a thought, forget I brought it up
JASON
Well, think about it tonight
When everything is right
And we'll shut off the lights
And cuddle in bed
And see how far we get
PETER
Is that supposed to shut me up?
JASON
Yes
PETER
Jerk
JASON
You and I
You take my hand leaving me breathless
Take a look in these big blue eyes so you'll understand
And know why we whisper in hallways
I'll be with you always
Running together...
...Miss me
(Jason leaves)
PETER
Forever, you and I
