SCENE TWO
(By the end of the song, CASPER has landed outside play practice with GABE. He hesitates, then decides not to go in.)
CASPER: I guess evolutions not for everyone.
GABE: You dont have to do this. Of course, Ill mock you forever if you dont.
(CASPER pumps himself up.)
CASPER: C-c-c-cmon, c-c-c-cmon, go go, c-c-c-cmon, c-c-c-cmon, go—
(He enters... and finds SHAWN.)
CASPER: Yo!
SHAWN: Yo.
CASPER: Is this where you meet for the play?
SHAWN: Nope. This is where you meet for the swim team. (off CASPER) Im joking.
CASPER: Im Casper! I mean...
(He stands there awkwardly for a beat.)
SHAWN: Are you okay?
CASPER: (barely verbal) Hnnh?
SHAWN: You seem nervous.
CASPER: No, I always (realizes this is dumb but commits to saying it anyway) sweat this much.
SHAWN: I get it. Youre a virgin. (off CASPER) First play rehearsal!
CASPER: (realizes) You think Im nervous about play rehearsal!
SHAWN: Why else would you be shaking? A lot?
CASPER: Ha ha ha ha ha— Yeah, totally freaked.
SHAWN: Its okay. Im a little jealous actually. You never forget your first. Play rehearsal. Coming here is the highlight...
CASPER: Of your day?
SHAWN: Yeah, right. (beat, he smiles) Of my life!
I Love Play Rehearsal
I love play rehearsal
Because its the best!
Because it is fun.
I love play rehearsal,
And I get depressed as soon as its done.
But not depressed as in like kill yourself depressed,
No Im not into self-harm,
Dude, I swear, here check my arm.
See, I just use the word to emphasize a point
Show the passion that Ive got,
I am passionate a lot.
I have mad gigantic feelings,
Mad and frantic feelings,
About most everthing.
Like gun control, like spring.
Like if Im living up to all Im meant to be.
I also have a touch of ADD.
Where was I?
Oh, right! I love play rehearsal,
Cause you are equipped with directions and text
Life is easy in rehearsal,
You follow a script, so you know what comes next.
Anywho the point that Im getting to
