[The next morning]

Eliza: He said he’d be there in 20 minutes and he never showed. I was there waiting all night, I ended up studying out of sheer boredom.

Angelica: Well, maybe you scared him, Liz. Pasqualli’s? You save that place for like…the fifth date.

Peggy: That’s where you go before the first blowy! Everybody knows that!  

Angelica: And he still stood you up? Girl. That must be so embarrassing for you.

Eliza: It wasn't a date, sis.

Angelica: Sure, Eliza. Keep telling yourself that. Who is this guy anyway, standing up the mayor’s daughter like he’s got no fucks to give? Not gonna lie, that’s really sexy.

Eliza: He’s not sexy it’s…it’s Alexander...Spankoffski?

Angelica: …oh my god, the fucking bow tie kid?

Peggy: Oh, Liz! I know he’s rich but…money isn’t everything! Looks are.  

Angelica: Looks and like, if you’re on the football team.  

Peggy: Oh my god, I can't wait for the big game!

[The girls squeal, except Eliza]

Peggy: Oh! You have to see the new cheer! It’s so fab!  

[They try to start it]

Eliza: Not right now Peg.

[Eliza walks out, seeing John and Maria]

Eliza: Hey, uh, dweeb?

John and Maria: Yeah?

Eliza: Have either of you seen Alexander around?

John: Why? Looking to kick him while he’s down?

Maria: You got all of our hopes up, temptress.

Eliza: I have no idea what you're talking about.

John: Come on. You lured him right into the lion’s den. We thought you were waifu material but you’re just a bitch.

Maria: Yeah! Yeah, we’re gonna find new objects of our sexual desires. Then you’ll be sorry.

Eliza: This is why nobody talks to you guys. What the hell happened to Alex last night?

[She touches John's shoulder, he freezes]

John: She's touching me..

Maria: Lucky!

[Eliza lets go and goes into the boys bathroom]

Eliza: Alex? Are you in here?

John: Eliza! This is the boys bathroom!

Eliza: Grow up..

Maria: Wow. These toilets aren’t even in stalls?! You all just watch each other pee? It’s better than I ever imagined!

[Alexander turns around, with a black eye]

Eliza: Oh my god…Alex, what did he do to you?

Alexander: What, this? You should see the other guy. He bruised his knuckles on my face.

Eliza: Come on, you can’t stay in the bathroom all day.

Alexander: I’m not! Just during lunch, passing periods and any times I might run into K. George Jägerman!

Eliza: That’s such bullshit! I’m not gonna let him get away with this.  

Alexander: Eliza, the more you get involved, the worse things are gonna be for me. It’s like I said, I’m not allowed to talk to you.

Eliza: Who does George think he is? My dad? What a fucking psycho. No. I’m sorry, Alex, I'm going to the principal about this.

John: Hah! This is K. George Jägerman. The quarterback of the Hatchetfield Nighthawks. If you think the principal cares more about us than the outcome of the big game then you are wilfully naïve.  

Maria: Yeah, that's some cool kid privilege right there..

Eliza: We have to do something!

John: And what pray tell may that be, Elizabeth?

Eliza: I don't know! We...we..

Samuel: Destroy him!

Eliza: Oh my god, butt out Chasity! This is none of you're business!

Samuel: Hm, it very much is my business, and not just because I’m the hall monitor and there are two girls in the boys’ bathroom. Detention for both of you.

Eliza: God, you suck, Samuel.

Samuel: K. George Jägerman has made all our lives a living heck. He’s more than a boy. He’s an idea. One that strikes fear in the hearts of the meek. And lust in the souls of the innocent! We must strip him of his power and leave him helpless at our feet.  

Alexander: How?

Samuel: With a little help with the Father, Son and some “holy ghosts”.
