VERONICA (sung):
I wanted someone strong who could protect me.
I let his anger fester and infect me.
His solution is a lie.
No one here deserves to die except for me and the monster I created.
Yeah!
Yeah!
Heads up, JD, I'm a dead girl walking!

ALL BUT VERONICA (chanted):
Hey yo Westerberg!

VERONICA:
Can't hide from me, I'm your dead girl walking!

ALL BUT VERONICA (chanted):
Hey yo Westerberg!

VERONICA:
And there's your final bell,
(school bell rings)
It's one more dance and then farewell,
Cheek to cheek in hell with a dead girl walkin'!

HEATHER MCNAMARA (chanted):
Come on, Westerberg!
Here we go, Here we go now!

MS. FLEMING (spoken):
Veronica! Jason Dean told us you'd just committed suicide!

VERONICA (spoken):
Yeah, well, he's wrong about a lot of things.

MS. FLEMING:
I threw together a lovely tribute, especially given the short notice.

VERONICA:
Ms. Fleming, what's under the gym?

MS. FLEMING:
The boiler room.

VERONICA:
That's it!

MS. FLEMING:
Veronica, what's going on?

VERONICA (sung):
Got no time to talk I'm a dead girl walking!

STUDENTS (chanted):
Hey yo Westerberg!
Hey yo Westerberg!
Tell me what's that sound?
Here comes Westerberg
Comin' to put you in the ground!
Go go Westernberg!
Give a great big yell!
Westerberg will knock you out
And send you straight to hell!

(The boiler room. JD is planting a bomb. Veronica enters)

VERONICA (spoken):
Step away from the bomb.

JD (spoken):
This little thing? I'd hardly call this a bomb. This is just to set off the packs of thermals upstairs in the gym.
Those are bombs. People are going to look at the ashes of Westerberg
And say there's a school that self-destructed not because society didn't care,
But because that school was society. The only place Heathers and Marthas can truly get along is in Heaven!

VERONICA (sung):
I wish your mom had been a little stronger.
I wish she stayed around a little longer.
I wish your dad were good!
I wish grown-ups understood!
I wish we met before they convinced you life is war!
I wish you'd come with me—

JD:
I wish I had more TNT!

(WHAM! Veronica whacks JD's gun hand with the croquet mallet)

JD (spoken):
Aah! Jesus!

(JD and Veronica scramble for the gun)

STUDENTS (chanted):
Hey yo Westerberg!
Hey yo Westerberg!
Tell me what's that sound?
Here comes Westerberg
Comin' to put you in the ground!
Go go Westernberg!
Give a great big yell!
Westerberg will knock you out
And send you straight to-
*BANG!*

(They lock eyes. Someone just got shot.)
