EVELYN: Ever! Ever! Stop!
What are you doing?

TAMRA: Randall's right.
You can't go out there.

EVER: Oh, so now you think
we should stick together.

TAMRA: What? What are you talking...
Wait.

Wait, no, that-- that's not--

that-- that's not
how it was at all.

EVER: Oh, you really don't get it.

TAMRA: Look, I'm just--
I'm trying, okay?

EVER: Trying to do what?
Be one of them?

Sorry, I don't fit in that box.
TAMRA: Ever, wh-- wh-- whoa, whoa.

That's not what happened. I--
EVER: Tamra!

This is not the time.

We don't know what's going on,
we are cut off

from the rest of the world,
and the one thing we should have

is each other's backs.

Have fun with Randall Ev, since that's all you seem to care about now.

EVELYN: What are you talking about? You know that's not true!

EVER: oh c'mon everyone can see it! Just because you have a crush on him doesn't mean you have to be a little bitch and stay stuck up his ass!

EVELYN: Fuck you Ever! You know that I care about you and that none of that's true!

EVER: Do I? (WALKS AWAY)

TAMRA: Ever, come on.
EVER: No, just leave me alone.

You're good at that.

TAMRA: Wait! Ever, don't leave me.

Ever. (PANTS)

(SHRIEKING IN DISTANCE)

STEVEN: Ever, wait! Hold up!
Hey, wait!

Just hold up! We gotta talk
about this! Ever.

Ever, wait. Hey, hold up,
hold up, hold up, hold up.

Seriously, we have to think
this through.

EVER: I've been thinking it through
all day.

I should've said
something sooner.

STEVEN: But Randall said--
EVER: I don't care what Randall said,

and you shouldn't, either.

STEVEN: But, just please don't go
out there, okay?

Wh-- what if there's more--
EVER: Everything is a what if.

I know, but-- but just if--
What if I'm right?

STEVEN: Fine.

But I'm coming with you.

(BOTH GRUNT)

EVER: Okay.
(ZOMBIES GROWLING)

EVER: Thanks for coming with me.

I was kind of scared shitless.

STEVEN: Yeah, I still am.

EVER: Oh. Sweet.

Okay, come on.

EVER: Let's go.
STEVEN: Okay.

(GETTING ON BUS)

(EVER GRUNTS)
STEVEN: Here, I got you.

EVER: Thanks. Okay.
STEVEN: (SIGHS) Okay?

EVER: Yeah. Here.
STEVEN: Thank you.

STEVEN: It's fine.
EVER: Let's get you up here.

EVER: That's it. Oh, yeah.
(STEVEN GRUNTS)

EVER: Okay.

(CREAKING)

(EVER SCREAMS AS THEIR DEAD TEACHERS ARM FALLS)
STEVEN: Oh, shit!

STEVEN: Oh, my God. Oh, God.
EVER: (SHUSHES) Inside voices.

Inside voices. Okay.

STEVEN: Hey, I am so sorry.

EVER: (WHIMPERS) Okay.
Gotta find the phones.

STEVEN: Oh, my God. Okay.

(BOTH CHUCKLING)

EVER: Fuck.
STEVEN: What?

EVER: No. No, no, no.
STEVEN: What?

EVER: They're--
they're all broken.

Fucking great!

STEVEN: Ever, I'm so sorry.
(EXHALES HEAVILY)

STEVEN: This was a really
good idea.

(EXHALES SHARPLY)
EVER: You say that now.

This is why I should just
shut up and let--

let other people--
STEVEN: What?

Oh, my God, no.
No, no, no, no.

Don't say that.
Oh, my God.

EVER: Why not?
What have I ever done

to justify anyone
listening to me?

Clearly nothing.

I'm just nothing.

Look at me. My--

my hair, my-- my clothes, my...

Even my best friend's
thinks I'm nothing.

I tried to save Candace twice.

Nothing.

My entire existence is just...

nothing.

STEVEN: I mean, it could be worse.

EVER: How?

STEVEN: I don't know.

I don't know.

I was-- I was just trying
to make you feel better.

Now who's good
for nothing? (CHUCKLES)

Ever, I get
what you're saying.

In your head, you think
you're one thing...

and you try hard
to be that thing.

I mean, like, you try really...

really, really hard to be that,
and then you're just not.

And then all the insults,
and the insecurities

and the names rush in
when you try

to be that way in public
and you can't. I-- I...

(SIGHS) ...I get it.

I, like-- I really,
really get it.

I do. I know.

I know.

I know you.

EVER: Is this when you kiss me?

STEVEN: W-- wait. Um, uh--
EVER: What?

What?
STEVEN: No, no, it just, um,

it's just been such a long day,

and, um--
EVER: And?

STEVEN: I-- I lost my gum,
and I, like,

I ate a ton of dirt
and mud earlier,

and I'm just--
I'm really stinky right now.

EVER: Steven.
STEVEN: What?

EVER: I might have puked
a bit earlier.

STEVEN: That's great.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)
That's really great, 'cause...

then we're-- we're basically
in the same boat.

EVER: Pretty much.

STEVEN: Do you still want to...
EVER: Yeah.

(AS THEIR LEANING IN EVER NOTICES A BLINKING DOT ON THE RADIO)

EVER: Wait.
Oh, my God.
