Ivy finds Jason practicing his valedictory address in the auditorium, and says that she is pregnant and she still loves him. Matt comes in and reveals to Ivy that the reason why Jason cannot love her is because he is still in love with Peter. At that point, Peter and Nadia arrive, and Peter, Jason a...
[JASON]
Promise
Webster's defines promise as a declaration
That something will or will not be done
[IVY]
Where have you been?
Is this some stupid game?
I meant it when I said I need to talk to you
[JASON]
I understand, but Ivy, nothing's changed
[IVY]
You have no idea what I'm going through
[JASON]
I'll say it one more time
I'm sorry I don't feel the same
We had ourselves a moment, but it's gone
My head's in 30 different places
Please, just try to understand
Let's leave things at that and just move on
[IVY, spoken]
That night...
We weren't safe
So tell me how we move on
[JASON]
I don't know what it is you want from me
I don't have time to hear whatever tale you've spun
I have to write this speech before tonight
Plus, there are all these scenes I have to run
[IVY]
You know what I am saying
I would never make this up
You're a winner, pat your perfect back
Way to go, you got me pregnant
Put that in your fucking speech
You wanted real
Well, God, you'll give them that!
[JASON, spoken]
Shit, why are you doing this to me?
Shit
[IVY, JASON, IVY & JASON]
But we're in this together (I've got to pull together)
We'll take it one step at a time (Is this what I wanted?)
Tell me, tell me what to do (Somehow we'll get through)
And Jason, I still love you
Someday maybe
Love me?
Someday maybe you can learn
Maybe you can
Maybe I can
Maybe you can
Learn to love me (You) too
[IVY]
Maybe, please
[MATT]
Maybe he would love you
Maybe if he weren't that way
He wouldn't treat your feelings like his toy
Maybe he'd make you feel real special
Like I always wanted to
But he's already in love with a boy
[IVY, spoken]
What?
[PETER, spoken]
Am I late?
What's going on?
[NADIA]
Jason, have you seen Ivy?
I guess you have
[JASON]
You knew?
[NADIA]
Only since this afternoon
[PETER]
Knew what?
[MATT]
Ivy's pregnant and your boyfriend's the dad
So what does that make you?
[PETER]
She's what?
What the fuck are you talking about, "my boyfriend"?
[MATT]
Don't play dumb with me, Peter
[JASON, spoken]
Get the fuck out of here, Matt
[MATT]
Should I tell them what I saw at the rave?
Look, I'm not here to judge
Just keep everyone on the same page
And, hey, I think I found that strong opening
You were looking for in your speech
[JASON, spoken]
Whatever, Matt, whatever you saw, it was a rave
[MATT]
Are you gonna stand there and deny it?
I know
[JASON, spoken]
You know, huh? You fucking know, huh?
What the fuck do you know?
[PETER, spoken]
He knows, Jason
He knows 'cause I told him
It was after Ivy's birthday, we were drunk, I'm sorry
No, you know what? I'm not
[IVY, spoken]
What is going on, Peter?
Jason, is he kidding? Jason?
[JASON]
(spoken)
Look, let's just run this scene
(sung)
If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this
[JASON, PETER, spoken]
Peter
Don't
Peter, I don't know understand what's happening
I don't know what to do, you have to help me
I tried
Wait, you know what then?
Fuck you, Peter!
Fuck you!
[NADIA]
Jason, I don't know what to tell you
Here's one idea
I'd rule out calling dad
I've thought it through and I confess
I can't see through this mess
Maybe being single's not so bad
But you can solve this
I know you can
Don't forget that
Take my hand
Tell me what to do
Or what to say
Somehow we'll get through
We'll find a way
[JASON, spoken]
Yeah, thanks, I know
Can you leave me alone?
I, I don't mean to be—
I just—, I, I ca—
[NADIA, spoken]
Sure
Call me tonight, or tomorrow, or whenever
Just, just call me
