You & I

[Peter runs on, frantically praying]

[PETER, spoken]
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee
Blessed art thou amongst women
And blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus
Holy Mary, Mother of God
Pray for us sinners
Now and at the hour of our death

[Jason enters and approaches Peter]

[JASON]
Hey little boy, would you like a ride?
A lollipop?
A puppy?
How about a baseball bat?
There's one in my pants

[PETER]
No, thank you
My mom, she said
To never talk to strangers

[JASON, PETER]
So a kiss is out of the question then?
I'll take a chance
So where were you?
Online?
Asleep
Like half the congregation
So are we damned?
I stayed awake as long as I could
Good Catholic!
I say we go fall asleep together
Do you?
Should I bring my baseball bat?
I think you should

[The male students enter]

[MALE STUDENTS]
Jason

[LUCAS]
You're a superstar, man

[MALE STUDENTS]
Jason

[ZACK]
Kid, they couldn't guard you

[STUDENTS]
Jason

[PETER]
It's always the same

[JASON]
No, let's duck in here and—

[Peter and Jason are stopped by the crowd of female students]

[FEMALE STUDENTS]
Jason

[DIANE]
Have a date for prom yet?

[FEMALE STUDENTS]
Jason

[KYRA]
Did you lose my number?

[FEMALE STUDENTS]
Jason

[JASON]
This is all just a game

You and I
You take my hand, leaving me breathless
Take a look in these big blue eyes so you'll understand
And know why we whisper in hallways
I'll be with you always
Running together
Forever you and I

[PETER]
Tell me why I should trust you
When the girls all lust to touch you?

[JASON]
'Cause when I have you near me
I go out of my mind
Need help there?

[PETER]
You're cute and it's tough
To argue with a hard-on
Think that you could lend a hand here?

[JASON]
If I had the time...

[MALE STUDENTS]
Jason

[JASON]
Peter, don't you worry

[MALE STUDENTS]
Jason

[JASON]
'Cause I wouldn't leave you

[MALE STUDENTS]
Jason

[JASON]
Not even for Zack

[ZACK]
Yo

[JASON]
Hey, lookin' good man

[FEMALE STUDENTS]
Jason

[JASON]
What we have is perfect

[FEMALE STUDENTS]
Jason

[PETER]
Then we'll tell my mother?

[FEMALE STUDENTS]
Jason

[The other students are gone]

[JASON]
Let's lay off the crack

You and I
You take my hand, leaving me breathless
Take a look in these big blue eyes so you'll understand
And know why we whisper in hallways
I'll be with you always
Running together
Forever you and I

[PETER]
There's something that I want to ask you
Don't say no, just hear me out
After school, they hold auditions
Something just to think about and—

[JASON]
God, you said the same thing last year
You know acting's not my thing
Plus, I might go out for baseball
And I neither dance nor sing

[PETER]
You have never mentioned baseball
You haven't played since we were twelve
And as for "acting's not my thing"
It's obvious it's something else

[JASON, PETER]
I don't act
I think we're the best act this school has ever seen
So take a bow, and I'll—
You know what I mean
(spoken)
It was just a thought, forget I brought it up

[JASON]
Well, think about tonight
When everything is right
We'll shut off all the lights
And cuddle in bed
And see how far we get

[PETER, JASON]
Is that supposed to shut me up?
Yes
Jerk

[JASON]
You and I
You take my hand, leaving me breathless
Take a look in these big blue eyes and you'll understand
And know why we whisper in hallways
I'll be with you always
Running together...
...Miss me

[Jason leaves]

[PETER]
Forever, you and I
