Scene six is three songs; 'The Squip Enters', 'Be More Chill Part 1', and 'Do You Wanna Ride?'. So I'll split it into three parts so I can put each song up top.

SCENE SIX

(JEREMY and MICHAEL in the mall food court. Examining the pill.)

JEREMY
I hope you're worth four hundred dollars.

MICHAEL
Four hundred and one. Don't forget the Mountain Dew.

"That is thuch a thmartath thing to thay," Rich says. Michael takes this as a compliment and gives Rich a half-hearted yet genuine smile.

JEREMY
If this is real...my whole life could change. (Beat.) We should split it. You helped me get it. We should both benefit, right?

MICHAEL
I don't think it works that way. Besides, I like knowing that when you're cool, you'll owe me.

JEREMY
All right. Here goes...everything.

(He puts the pill on his tongue, swallows it with the Mountain Dew.)

Rich visibly cringes as Stage Jeremy swallows the pill. Jake holds him close, slowly stroking his hair.

MICHAEL
How does it taste?

JEREMY
Minty.

MICHAEL
How do you feel?

JEREMY
Like... (Long pause.) A chump.

MICHAEL
Nothing? At all? Try to say something cool.

JEREMY
I think I just blew my bar mitzvah money on a Wintergreen Tic-tac.

"You're Jewish?" Jake asked. Jeremy nods in reply.

"Bar Mitzvah's. Where they slice your dick off." Jade mumbles. Issie heard them and snorted.

MICHAEL
Yeahh... Not cool.

JEREMY
Please leave me alone to mourn in my chili fries, forever.

(Beat.)

MICHAEL
Five minutes.

"You sound so intense," Chloe scoffs. "What is so important to you?"

Michael hisses one word in reply: "Soda."

JEREMY
Where are you going?

MICHAEL
Check it out. Guy in Spencer's Gifts is hooking me up with a case of Crystal Pepsi. It's like regular Pepsi. Only clear.

"Sounds nice. I want some!" Jade exclaims.

"You're obsessed with Pepsi, it's unhealthy." Issie said, shaking her head.

JEREMY
Wasn't that discontinued in the 90's?

Jade gasps. "Foreshadowing." They whisper to Issie.

MICHAEL
That's what makes it so awesome.

"Michael Mell, you are possibly the cutest human alive."

(MICHAEL exits. JEREMY looks up to see CHRISTINE enter with JAKE.)

CHRISTINE
Shouldn't we wait for the rest of the cast?
