don't stop me - act i: scene 2: first break - krista knight, dave malloy lyrics
(break)
(the couples break formation. shake it out.)
jaynie:
we’ve come to the end of the demonstration
samson:
you’ve only got a little time to gear up for the first heat
mo:
this is your last chance to ever exist in a moment before the first annual plain springs high dance*a*thon competition begins!
(contestants mill, recuperate, recharge.)
ellie:
ow
zander:
your feet hurt already?
ellie:
no, it’s just these shoes
zander:
then you’re tired? you can’t be tired, we haven’t even started
ellie:
who said i was tired? i’m not tired
ellie & zander (stance for each one):
valles fight together * rise * write * realize * alright * together
ellie:
you and me brother
zander:
you and me sister
(dakota is wearing a flower corsage.)
roger:
you look so elegant tonight
dakota:
the flowers are beautiful, roger. really really pretty
(they kiss. roger pulls away when dakota gets a little hot and
heavy.)
roger:
you’re sure the corsage isn’t cutting off your circulation a little bit? i thought other people would be wearing them * i guess i didn’t realize this wasn’t ya know that kind of thing
dakota:
i don’t care if these high schoolers think they’re too cool to wear corsages to a high school dance
roger:
dance*a*thon. it’s not a high school dance
dakota:
but it’s in the gym
roger:
well yeah where else would it be?
dakota:
community center local marriott conference ballroom? it’s cool. i don’t care that i’m back in my high school gym
(harper & janelle gossip.)
harper (re:dakota and roger):
there is no way i will ever date someone in high school when i’m in college
janelle:
yeah
harper:
yeah. yeah?
cyrus:
i don’t believe in dating anymore
janelle:
oh no really, cyrus*
harper:
but i mean! i don’t know. she’s in college. what do they even have in common anymore? nothing
janelle:
nothing
harper:
nothing! i mean? nothing!
cyrus:
at least they have each other
janelle:
yeah what are we talking about?
harper:
oh my god. everything and nothing // janelle!
janelle (on very close heels of harper’s line):
nothing and everything, janelle!
samson (to audiences at home):
i think this might be the best crop of contestants this contest has ever seen
mo:
especially since we don’t have the stats from topeka!
jaynie:
but who is the best of the best? it’s not up to us
samson:
that’s right, jaynie
jaynie:
this is the part where the contestants get real*time feedback from you in the infinite virtual ecosphere
samson:
which couple is your favorite!?
jaynie:
it’s called the beloved bolometer
commentators:
the beloved bolometer
mo:
i built it with my dad according to the technical blueprints from topeka
jaynie:
who is the most beloved?
samson:
you get to decide
mo:
at each break, enter the code for the couple you most love and retype the number and letter set that verifies you’re a real human and hit enter to refresh your feed. otherwise it lags
samson:
a little flair *
jaynie:
je ne sais quoi *
mo:
personal juju *
samson:
may not give you social currency in life *
jaynie:
* or in the complicated hierarchy of your evolving person*hood and relationships—
commentators:
but it does here!
ellie:
let’s go up there
zander:
yeah let’s go
(the commentators do complicated adjustments to the bolometer
apparatus.)
(ellie & zander situate themselves in front of a webcam.)
ellie:
that’s zander valle!
zander:
and she’s ellie valle!
ellie & zander:
ellie and zander! zander and ellie!
zander:
brought to you by valle’s auto body detailing in downtown plain springs
ellie:
dad says faster breeds better
zander:
mom says a rising tide raises all boats
ellie:
which one of these webcams are on?
mo:
all of them
grace:
you can tell because all the little blue lights are all on
(ellie & zander notice grace doesn’t have a partner.)
ellie & zander:
wait
grace:
what?
zander:
where’s your partner?
grace:
uh*oh
ellie:
where is your dance partner for the dance*a*thon?
grace:
come again?
zander:
you don’t have a dance partner!
grace:
couldn’t hear you
ellie:
he said * you don’t have a dance partner. that is against the rules
grace:
is yelling all of the time a personal choice or a behavioral quirk or just some kind of speech impediment?
zander (storming the commentator table):
na*uh. no. no. how long can she be without a partner?
grace:
it’s none of your business
ellie:
does that disqualify her?
grace:
not if you don’t draw attention to it! my partner is coming!
(grace speaks into a webcam.)
grace:
right?! you’re coming? right?! you wouldn’t leave me here all alone. right
harper:
who are you talking to? freak!
janelle:
freak!
grace:
yeah, i’m talking to my girlfriend, freak!
janelle:
freak
grace:
oh, so what, you think g*y people are freaks?
harper:
we don’t care if you’re g*y. you’re not a freak because you’re g*y, you’re a freak because you’re a freak!
janelle:
freak!
grace:
freak!
please
