ACT TWO
SCENE ONE
(Halloween eve. Everyone getting ready for Felix Kelsnys Halloween party.)
Halloween
ARIA: Picked out a costume for tonight
Made sure to get a size that was a lot too tight
You can kinda see my business
But Ill act like I dont know
Whoa
FELIX: I got a condom
SKYLAR: And a flask
TIM: I stole my older brothers Jason mask
And I dont have a machete
But a loaf of bread will do
Ooo
(CASPER gets ready for the party. He is dressed as a cyborg.)
ALEX: Tonights the night. This is what weve been working towards. Are you ready?
CASPER: (robot voice) Affirmative. (off the SQUIP) I mean... I got this.
ALL: Ooo
FELIX: WHOS READY FOR MY HALLOWEEN PARTY?!?!
FELIX: Everybodys got a red Solo cup
Fill it up
Fill it up
Hear the beer spill on the ground
FELIX, ARIA: Everybodys all like, Sup?!,
FELIX, ARIA, TIM: Yo man, sup?!
FELIX, ARIA: Lets catch up, lets smoke up
FELIX, ARIA, SKYLAR: Look how many drinks Ive downed
FELIX, ARIA, SKYLAR, TIM: Every single songs all like
Whup!
Theyre all whup!
Were like yup!
Turn it up!
As we stumble to the sound
(DAHLIA OPHINE enters in a clown costume, to their delight.)
FELIX, ARIA, SKYLAR, TIM, DAHLIA, AND OFF-STAGE VOICES: Cause a Halloween partys a rad excuse
To put your body through mad abuse
And I might pass out, but its alright
Cause Im Halloween partying hard tonight
Its Halloween!
Its Halloween
(CASPER enters in his cyborg costume with ALEX. ARIA lights up when she sees him.)
ARIA: I was afraid you werent coming. Did you get my messages?
ALEX: Play it off.
CASPER: Am I late? Didnt even realize.
(Beat. ARIA is a little crushed.)
ARIA: What do you think of my costume? I figured, you always see sexy cats, but no one ever goes as a sexy dog.
CASPER: Its...
ALEX: Vague compliment.
CASPER: ...original.
(When he sees ARIAs reaction, he immediately feels bad.)
CASPER: I mean, amazing. Seriously. I cant believe Im with a girl who looks like you.
ARIA: Skylar said it was dumb. You need a drink!
(ARIA exits.)
CASPER: (to ALEX) Did you see the look on her face? She thought I stood her up!
ALEX: And she was so excited when she realized you hadnt. People want what they dont have. Look whos here.
(CASPER sees SHAWN arrive and approach FELIX.)
SHAWN: Sorry Im late.
FELIX: (well-intended) I didnt even realize.
SHAWN: Oh. Okay... (notices his costume) I thought we were going as princes.
FELIX: Right. Im Prince! What are you supposed to be?
SHAWN: Its an authentic Renaissance... Never mind.
FELIX: Ohhh... (Awkward pause.) You want a drink?
SHAWN: Sure—
FELIX: Cool, theyre over there!
(FELIX joins the other partygoers, leaving SHAWN alone.)
ALL: Crank the bass, its Halloween
Break a vase, its Halloween
Jello shots! Its Halloween
Liver spots from Halloween
(FELIX and CASPER have a dance-off that ends in FELIX accepting CASPER. SHAWN and SKYLAR watch. When the dance ends, SKYLAR approaches CASPER.)
SKYLAR: Im supposed to get you. Aria has a surprise.
CASPER: What kind of surprise?
SKYLAR: The kind where you dont ask questions and follow me upstairs.
(SKYLAR exits with CASPER.)
ALL: Everybodys got a red Solo cup
Fill it up
Fill it up
Hear the beer spill on the ground
Everybodys all like, Sup?!,
Yo man, sup?!
Lets catch up, lets smoke up
Look how many drinks Ive downed
Every single songs all like
Whup!
Theyre all whup!
Were like yup!
Turn it up!
As we stumble to the sound
Cause a Halloween partys a rad excuse
To put your body through mad abuse
And I might pass out, but its alright
Cause Im Halloween partying hard tonight
TIM: Its Halloween!
Its Halloween
(During the above, TIMs dance becomes less joyful and more of a desperate freak-out. Its clear something is not okay. People see this and exit to get away until he ends alone.)
