(Halloween eve. Everyone getting ready for Jake Dillinger's Halloween party.)
"Halloween Party"
BROOKE

RICH
I STOLE MY OLDER BROTHER'S "JASON" MASK
AND I DON'T HAVE A MACHETE
BUT A LOAF OF BREAD WILL DO
OOO
(JEREMY gets ready for the party. He is dressed as a cyborg.)
THE SQUIP
Tonight's the night. This is what we've been working towards. Are you ready?
JEREMY
(robot voice) Affirmative. (off the SQUIP) I mean... I got this.
ALL
OOO

AS WE STUMBLE TO THE SOUND
(JENNA ROLAN enters in a clown costume, to their delight.)
JAKE, BROOKE, CHLOE, RICH, JENNA, AND OFF-STAGE VOICES
CUZ A HALLOWEEN PARTY'S A RAD EXCUSE
TO PUT YOUR BODY THROUGH MAD ABUSE
AND I MIGHT PASS OUT, BUT IT'S ALRIGHT
CUZ I'M HALLOWEEN PARTYING HARD TONIGHT
IT'S HALLOWEEN
IT'S HALLOWEEN
(JEREMY enters in his cyborg costume with his SQUIP. BROOKE lights up when she sees him.)
BROOKE
I was afraid you weren't coming. Did you get my messages?
THE SQUIP
Play it off.
JEREMY
Am I late? Didn't even realize.
(Beat. BROOKE is a little crushed.)
BROOKE
What do you think of my costume? I figured, you always see $3*¥ cats, but no one ever goes as a $3*¥ dog.
JEREMY
It's...
THE SQUIP
Vague compliment.
JEREMY
...original.
(When he sees BROOKE's reaction, he immediately feels bad.)
I mean, amazing. Seriously. I can't believe I'm with a girl who looks like you.
BROOKE
Chloe said it was dumb. You need a drink!
(BROOKE exits.)
JEREMY
(to the SQUIP) Did you see the look on her face? She thought I stood her up!
THE SQUIP
And she was so excited when she realized you hadn't. People want what they don't have. Look who's here.
(JEREMY sees CHRISTINE arrive and approach JAKE.)
CHRISTINE
Sorry I'm late.
JAKE
(well-intended) I didn't even realize.
CHRISTINE
Oh. Okay... (notices his costume) I thought we were going as prince and princess
JAKE
Right. I'm Prince! What are you supposed to be?
CHRISTINE
It's an authentic Renaissance... Never mind.
JAKE
Ohhh...
(Awkward pause.)
You want a drink?
CHRISTINE
Sure—
JAKE
Cool, they're over there!
(JAKE joins the other partygoers, leaving CHRISTINE alone.)
ALL
ALL CRANK THE BASS, IT'S HALLOWEEN
BREAK A VASE, IT'S HALLOWEEN
JELLO SHOTS! IT'S HALLOWEEN
LIVER SPOTS FROM HALLOWEEN
(JAKE and JEREMY have a dance-off that ends in JAKE accepting JEREMY. CHRISTINE and CHLOE watch. When the dance ends, CHLOE approaches JEREMY.)
CHLOE
I'm supposed to get you. Brooke has a surprise.
JEREMY
What kind of surprise?
CHLOE
The kind where you don't ask questions and follow me upstairs.
(CHLOE exits with JEREMY.)

RICH
IT'S HALLOWEEN
IT'S HALLOWEEN...
(During the above, RICH's dance becomes less joyful and more of a desperate freak-out. It's clear something is not okay. People see this and exit to get away until he ends alone.)
