True Psycho

A Stage Play by LunarApocalypse

Six people who are all diagnosed with some mental disorder of some sort

ACT ONE
SCENE ONE
[Curtains open on Alex in a completely padded room. He is in a straight jacket, smiling wickedly]

ALEX [singing]

Sit back now, let me tell you a tale

Where justice does not prevail

About an ill-fated life

So very full of strife

Where two wrongs do not make a right

So, when I was born

I did surely scorn

My proud parents name

Then their lives went down the drain

Drove them insane

My birth was a curse

I bit the nurse

Oh but I love the worst

I deserve to be slowly submersed

Dried out then laid in a hearse

When I was 2

I poured superglue into my father’s hair

As he sat unaware

In his armchair

Much to his dismay

Had to cut it all away

Oh but it felt great

I deserve to be cut and filleted

Then tossed around in disarray

[Whispers] Until the pieces melt away

(I am not a bad man

Even though I do bad things

Very bad things

Such Horrible Things

[Nurses enter]

But it’s not quite what it seems

NURSES
Not quite what he seems

ALEX
Not quite what I seem

Ah, hell. It’s exactly what it seems)

When I was 4

I’d wait by the door

With a knife in my hand

And a most devious plan

It would be quite grand

As the mail fell through the slot

The sharp edge he got.

Oh but I love the thought

I deserve to be tied in a knot

Broken bones and blood clots

When I was 6

I used to trick the next door neighbor’s son

In the woods we would run

Time for fun

Hide and seek has a cost

He would be forever lost

Oh but I love to scoff

I deserve to have my head lopped off

Hidden and covered in moss

[Whispers] Until this memory’s forgot

(I am not a bad man

Even though I do bad things

Very bad things

Such Horrible Things

But it’s not quite what it seems

NURSES
Not quite what he seems

ALEX
Not quite what I seem

Ah, hell. It’s exactly what it seems)

When I was 8

I used to hate the color of my house

So as quiet as a mouse

I burned it down to the ground

When no one was around

Oh but I love the sound

I deserve to be quickly put down

Rotting 6 feet under ground

When I was 10

I used to pretend

To drown in the sea

Till they’d come to rescue me

Then proceed to to laugh at their face

Such A disgrace

Oh but I love the taste

I deserve to have my brains displaced

All over the fireplace

[Whispers] Until this life has been erased

(I am not a bad man

Even though I do bad things

Very bad things

Such Horrible Things

But it’s not quite what it seems

NURSES
Not quite what he seems

ALEX
Not quite what I seem

Ah, hell. It’s exactly what it seems)

When I was 12

I used to delve
Into evil schemes

Just to elicit screams

Boost my self esteem

Pushed my sister down a well

She just fell

Oh but I love to dwell

I deserve to roast deep down in hell

Where no one can hear me yell

When I was 14

Nothing much happened

Well, there was that one time

[Rises and runs around the room, banging his head on the wall every now and then. Nurses try to stop him. He stops and laughs]

(I am not a bad man

Even though I do bad things

Very bad things

Such Horrible Things

But it’s not quite what it seems

NURSES
Not quite what he seems

ALEX
Not quite what I seem

Ah, hell. It’s exactly what it seems)

When I was 16

Life was frightening

My brother was quite dull

So with laughter in my skull

Pushed him in a hole

Then buried him alive

He barely survived.

Oh but I love the cries

[Nurses leave]

I deserve to be battered and fried

In an electric chair that’s set on high

Now that I’m 18

I still hate things

From this padded cell I call my home

No friends, no phone, no life to call my own

Here I will lie

Until the very day I die

Until my blood begins to dry

And I return to the darkness from whence I came

(I am not a bad man

Even though I do bad things

Very bad things

Such Horrible Things

But it’s not quite what it seems
Not quite what I seem

Ah, hell. I’m exactly what I seem)

[Curtains close]

SCENE TWO

[Curtains open on Drew in a train station. Jaiden and Kaori are nearby]

DREW
Hi, my names Drew. Drew Fenon.

JAIDEN
Name’s Jaiden Marksmen. This is my friend Kaori Vincent

[Kaori waves. Drew smiles]

DREW
Where you heading?

JAIDEN
Probably going home. You?
DREW
Same

KAORI
I’m going to leave you two alone. See you at home Jaide.

[Kaori exits off stage right]

JAIDEN
So [suggestively] Do you want to hang out?

DREW
Sure, If you’re offering.

[The two exit stage right. Lights blackout. The set changes to a bedroom set. Lights come on. Jaiden is laying on the bed. Drew is laying next to her]

DREW[singing]

Two single hearts on fire

Currently on the wire

As inhibitions fade

A focused moment made

Bruises And Bitemarks say

Takes one to bring the pain

Passion lies in screams

Of ecstatic dreams

(You’re in a place for fear

Lips are for biting here

Let’s make this moment worth a while

Let’s kill the night and go down in style

Feel the magic rise

We’re plotting our demise

Of perspiration and alcohol

As I introduce the bedroom brawl)

[Drew and Jaiden kiss passionately. They stop]

You bring the ropes and chains

I’ll bring the pills and games.

I can show you pain

And make you say my name

You will believe my lies

That I’m not like other guys

That sparkle in my eyes

Is part of my disguise

(You’re in a place for fear

Lips are for biting here

Let’s make this moment worth a while

Let’s kill the night and go down in style

Feel the magic rise

We’re plotting our demise

Of perspiration and alcohol

As I introduce the bedroom brawl)

[Drew grabs Jaiden and pins her down as he kissed her. He releases and Jaiden laughs]

(You’re in a place for fear

Lips are for biting here

Let’s make this moment worth a while

Let’s kill the night and go down in style

Feel the magic rise

We’re plotting our demise

Of perspiration and alcohol

As I introduce the bedroom brawl)

(You’re in a place for fear

Lips are for biting here

Let’s make this moment worth a while

Let’s kill the night and go down in style

Feel the magic rise

We’re plotting our demise

Of perspiration and alcohol

As I introduce the bedroom brawl)

[He kisses her until blackout. When lights return, the two are redressed. Drew smiles. Jaiden reaches on the nightstand and sees a bottle of pills]

JAIDEN

Chlorpromazine? Isn’t this an antipsychotic?

DREW
Yeah. I have schizophrenia.

JAIDEN
Really? So, you hallucinate?

DREW
Yeah. Not something I brag about though.

JAIDEN
I get that. I have bipolar.

DREW

Really? Never would have guessed.

JAIDEN
Yeah. [Mockingly] I just don’t brag about it.

DREW
Very funny, Jaiden.

JAIDEN

Yeah. I’m hilarious.

[She smiles and Drew laughs. Curtains close]

SCENE THREE

[Curtains open on Andy in a dark alleyway with Ashley]

ANDY

Ash, it’s not going to work between us.

ASHLEY
Why not? Andy?

ANDY

Because, you’re f*****g insane!

[Singing]

Let's go right now!

I look alive, I'm dead inside. My heart has holes and black blood flows.

We'll do some drugs, well fall in love and get fucked up while the world just shrugs.

With no thought Logically.

Were wondering the streets so aimlessly.

I hate to see these kids just being put down so painlessly.

And people say you Dye your hair and wear tight jeans, that doesn't mean.

That you can't scream, or like loud noise, you got a choice, you have a voice.

And just because you showed no love and hate on us

you fucked our trust.

Now watch we thrust this

Knife Called Lust into my chest until it bust.

(This love, This hate

Is burning me away

It's hard to face that we're all the same

This love, This hate

Is burning me away

It's harder times like these that never change)

mad at the fact your dad is an addict, your friend takes pills he thinks it cures sadness,

I'm not here to attack or make you kids panic,

but i just think it's tragic the way these kids have it.

and everybody sins and it all begins, it goes back around, nobody ever wins.

and you stab yourself in the back, EVERYBODY JUST RELAX! it all just hits so close to home,

we all got friends but we stand alone, and you're on your own from a broken home,

you keep the truth inside and it stays unknown. Nostalgia hit and it's time to quit,

and everybody acts like it don't mean s**t. a

and your friend will stab you just to f**k some girl,

put your hands in the air and scream F**K THE WORLD!!!

(This love, This hate

Is burning me away

It's hard to face that we're all the same

This love, This hate

Is burning me away

It's harder times like these that never change)

Let go

I'll bring you closer

Right now

I'll hold on tightly

Let go

We're going no where

Somewhere

And things aren't over

Harder times like these!

Growing up on the streets!

Harder times like these!

We'll put you back on your feet!

(This love, This hate

Is burning me away

It's hard to face that we're all the same

This love, This hate

Is burning me away

It's harder times like these that never change)

And I fall to the ground with my teardrops

And I get lost every time my heart stops

This love this hate is burning me away

And I fall to the ground with my teardrops

And I get lost every time my heart stops

This love this hate is burning me away!

ASHLEY

Now that I f*****g know how you really feel. F**k you Andy!

[Curtains Close]

SCENE FOUR

[Jaiden, Drew, and Kaori are in a single room. Two guards bring in Alex. They proceed to leave.]

DREW

Hey Alex. How are you?

ALEX

DREW
Don’t call me Drewbie. Look. I think it’s time.

ALEX

Two years, I’d say so. Who’s the girls?

KAORI
I’m Kaori. This is Jaiden.

ALEX

Enchante

DREW
Yeah, okay. So. Do you want out of here? I can take you out whenever I feel like it. Plus Dr.Matthews says you’ve greatly improved.

ALEX
Yeah? ‘bout f*****g time that fat f**k decides to let me go. What about you? I promise I won’t bury you alive again.

DREW

I’m going to take you out. You’re gonna live with me until you can get on your feet.

ALEX

Yay! Do I get to see the girls?

DREW
Yeah. They come around quite a lot.

KAORI
Yeah. Have been for about a month now.

ALEX
Damn! Drew, you f**k ‘em yet?

[Drew stares at him in shock. Kaori gasps. Jaiden slaps Alex]

I’ll take that as a maybe.

JAIDEN

Let’s go.

[Drew nods]

DREW

Let me sign you out, then we’ll leave.

[Nurse enters with clipboard. Drew signs the papers and gives them to the nurse. The nurse nods and undoes Alex’s straightjacket. Alex jumps up and hugs Drew]

ALEX

Peace out m***********s! Oh! Almost forgot. I left a little present in my room.

[They exit. Curtains close]

SCENE FIVE

[Drew and Jaiden are sitting on the couch. Alex and Kaori are playing cards]

ALEX
Ha! I win!

KAORI

You don’t even know what we’re playing!

ALEX

Go fish?

KAORI

No, you dumbfuck! We’re playing poker.

[Alex pokes Kaori]

Why did you poke me?

ALEX

You said poke her!

KAORI

No. Poker, not poke her.

ALEX

Potato, Potahto.

JAIDEN
Wow. This is funny. What is Alex diagnosed with?

DREW
Pure insanity? It doesn’t really have a name. I mean, not medically. It’s a lot. Korsakoff syndrome on top of schizophrenia, bipolar, and his former drug problem.

JAIDEN

So he’s fucked up. You got lucky with just schizophrenia. I got lucky with just bipolar.

DREW

Yeah, you’re my pretty little psycho.

JAIDEN
Yeah

[Curtains close]

SCENE SIX

[Drew is laying on the couch. Kaori is watching him. Jaiden and Alex walk by)

JAIDEN
We’re gonna go out and see Ashley. You good here?
KAORI

Yeah, I’m fine. Probably just watch T.V.

ALEX
P***y!

[Jaiden slaps Alex and the two leave]

KAORI

It’s just you and me, Drew. I have something to tell you.

[Drew snores]

You’re asleep. Good.

[Singing]

She says hey! wait,

Listen now to what I've got to say

I don't think I want it this way

We've become some poor excuse, a love that's come undone

And how do we get so numb

I wanna be in your control

So unmerciful

You can twist me and turn, just don't let me go

I wanna be your puppet on a string

Baby I'm not holding back, we can do anything

And even if I am crazy is cause you make me this way

We're as close to love as we'll ever get

I wanna be your marionette, marionette

So let's play charade

I'm helpless like a child lost in the dark

And I need you to light a spark

It's a game but the same

I need to feel that this is love somehow

So don't disconnect me now

I wanna be in your control

So unmerciful

You can twist me and turn me, just don't let me go

I wanna be your puppet on a string

Baby I'm not holding back, we can do anything

And even if I am crazy is cause you make me this way

We're as close to love as we'll ever get

I wanna be your marionette, marionette

Lying head to head and toe to toe

And we're body to body

I feel you beside me

We're in this masquerade

A beautiful game we play

It's so powerful with you controlling me

I wanna be your puppet on a string

Baby I'm not holding back, we can do anything

And even if I am crazy is cause you make me this way

We're as close to love as we'll ever get

I wanna be your marionette, marionette

Marionette (X4)

[Drew wakes up]

DREW
Kaori? Did you say something?

KAORI

No. Just watching T.V.

DREW
Where’s the others?
KAORI

They went out. Jaide has Alex practically on a leash. They’ll be fine.

DREW

Okay.

[Curtains close]

SCENE SEVEN

[Drew and Jaiden are in the bedroom. Alex and Kaori are in the living room eating]

ALEX

F*****g or fighting?

KAORI

What?

ALEX

You think they’re fighting or f*****g? They’ve been in there for about an hour.

KAORI

I think it’s none of our business.

JAIDEN[off stage]

You really wanna f*****g go there?!

You’re f*****g schitzo! Your brother’s batshit insane!

DREW[off stage]
Leave Alex out of this!

[Jaiden comes on stage, followed by Drew]

JAIDEN

Why would you think that?

DREW

You act like you aren’t loyal. I don’t know what you’re giving me.

ALEX

Fighting.

JAIDEN

Really Drew? I love you.

DREW

I love you too.

ALEX

And now f*****g.

JAIDEN[Singing]

Something lately drives me crazy

Has to do with how you make me

DREW[Singing]

Struggle to get your attention

Calling you brings apprehension

JAIDEN

Texts from you and sex from you

Are things that are not so uncommon

DREW

Flirt with you you're all about it

Tell me why I feel unwanted?

Damn, if you didn't want me back

Why'd you have to act like that?

It's confusing to the core

'Cause I know you want it

JAIDEN

Oh, and if you don't wanna be

Something substantial with me

Then why do you give me more?

Babe I know you want it

BOTH

(Say that you want me every day

That you want me every way

That you need me

Got me trippin' super psycho love

Aim, pull the trigger

Feel the pain getting bigger

Go insane from the bitter feeling

Trippin' super psycho love)

JAIDEN

Pull me off to darkened corners

Where all other eyes avoid us

DREW

Tell me how I mesmerize you

I love you and despise you

JAIDEN

Back to the crowd where you ignore me

Bedroom eyes to those before me

DREW

How am I supposed to handle

Lit the fuse and missed the candle

Damn, if you wanna let me go

Baby please just let me know

You're not gonna get away with leading me on

BOTH

(Say that you want me every day

That you want me every way

That you need me

Got me trippin' super psycho love

Aim, pull the trigger

Feel the pain getting bigger

Go insane from the bitter feeling

Trippin' super psycho love)

DREW

Say you want me

Say you need me

Tear my heart out slow

And bleed me

You want me

You need me

You're gonna be with me

JAIDEN

I know you want me too

I think you want me too

Please say you want me too

Because you're going to

BOTH

(Say that you want me every day

That you want me every way

That you need me

Got me trippin' super psycho love

Aim, pull the trigger

Feel the pain getting bigger

Go insane from the bitter feeling

Trippin' super psycho love)

ALEX

Or that.

KAORI

Shut up Alex. Let them do them

ALEX

But they’re not doing them!

KAORI

Is sex the only thing you think about?

DREW

Have you met him. Need I remind you, he is insane.

[Curtains close]

SCENE EIGHT

[Drew, Jaiden, Kaori, Alex, Andy, and Ashley are at a table in a restaurant]

ANDY

It’s good to see you all again.

DREW
You too Andy. Oh Andy, have you met my brother, Alex?

ANDY

No, I haven’t. Pleasure to meet you, Alex.

ALEX

And you too. How was that? Was that proper?

DREW

You’re doing fine.

ASHLEY

Well, what have you all been up to?

JAIDEN
Nothing really. We all moved in together.

ASHLEY
After only three months?

DREW

Has it really only been three months since we met?

KAORI

It has.

[Waiter comes up]

WAITER

May I take your order?
DREW
Yeah, um, I’ll have the 11 oz sirloin. medium rare, fries on the side, and a coke.

ALEX

Oh, right! I’ll have the lobster. And coke

KAORI

I’ll just have a salad. Water please.

ASHLEY

I’d like a chicken sandwich with Dr. Pepper.

ANDY

I’ll take the 15 oz sirloin, medium, a cheeseburger. fries, a chocolate shake, and a coke. And could we get some mozzarella sticks for an appetizer?

WAITER

Sure thing

[Exits]

ALEX

Damn! You’re a fat f**k!

DREW AND JAIDEN
Alex! Manners!

ALEX
Oh, suck my c**k.

KAORI

You’re coming with me, Alex.

ALEX

Okay, I was using it as a figure of speech, but I’m not gonna argue.

KAORI

We’re going out back, and I’m gonna beat you.

[Kaori and Alex exit]

ASHLEY

Your brother cracks me up.

ANDY

Which one of you?

JAIDEN
Last I checked, we don’t mention any of our disorders to each other.

DREW
Jaiden’s right. It is a pact we have.

ASHLEY

What ever do you mean?
ANDY

I mean, does he crack up Ashley, Allie, Megan, or Juliet?

ASHLEY

That’s it! I’ve gotten better! You know, not one of us have had a major break! Except you! You just ordered half the restaurant!

JAIDEN

Calm down, Ash.

ASHLEY
You calm down!
JAIDEN

I am calm.

DREW
Damn. This s**t again.

[A man and a woman enter]

ASHLEY
Well fine. Get angry. Hulk.

JAIDEN

Ash, you don’t want to do this.

DREW

Mom? Dad?

[Drew walks over to the newly entered people. They all hug]

ANDY
Guy’s I think Drew’s having a break.

JAIDEN
F**k you Ashley! Andy’s right! You do change a lot! I think it’s Juliet I’m friends with. Or is it Megan?!

MAN

Drew, I’ve missed you.

WOMAN

My son. All grown up.

ASHLEY
Really? Two seconds ago, you didn’t want me doing anything, now you’re in my face, Jaiden!

ANDY
Guys!

JAIDEN

What is it Andy?

ASHLEY
F**k off.

ANDY
Drew’s broken. He’s probably seeing his parents again.

JAIDEN
No! Drew! They’re not there. Remember? We just visited their graves yesterday!

[Drew turns around. The man and woman exit]

DREW

Jaiden. I broke again, didn’t I?

JAIDEN

We all did.

[Curtains close]

SCENE NINE

[Ashley is in her house sitting on the couch, muttering to herself]

ASHLEY[Singing]

My phone is off the hook,

You're cramping up my style.

I can't believe you feel neglected,

You are such a child.

I'm going off the edge,

I think you're too obsessed.

You're so attached.

I'm about to cut the cord,

It needs a rest.

Won't leave me alone,

Get a busy tone,

Stuck inside my home,

I'm going crazy.

Need a little space,

I'm sick of your face,

Now a mental place,

What have you done to me?

(I'm insane,

You make me insane.

I'm insane,

It's disturbing I forgot to mention.

I'm insane,

You make me insane.

I'm insane,

Think I'm craving some other attention.

I'm insane,

You make me insane.

I'm insane,

Yes I'm for you but you never listen.

I'm insane,

You make me insane.

I'm insane,

End up single but I know what I'm missing.)

You're suffocating me,

I need some room to stop.

I'm locked up in a cage,

And you're the one that has the key.

I make just no mistake,

I think I want to break,

And if we jump then it's my sanity that you will take.

Won't leave me alone,

Get a busy tone,

Stuck inside my home,

I'm going crazy.

Need a little space,

I'm sick of your face,

Now a mental place,

What have you done to me?

(I'm insane,

You make me insane.

I'm insane,

It's disturbing I forgot to mention.

I'm insane,

You make me insane.

I'm insane,

Think I'm craving some other attention.

I'm insane,

You make me insane.

I'm insane,

Yes I'm for you but you never listen.

I'm insane,

You make me insane.

I'm insane,

End up single but I know what I'm missing.)

Let's bring it back to reality,

It's time to respect my boundaries.

You're pressuring to get close to me,

I think I'm ready for some space.

Give me back my space.

(I'm insane,

You make me insane.

I'm insane,

It's disturbing I forgot to mention.

I'm insane,

You make me insane.

I'm insane,

Think I'm craving some other attention.

I'm insane,

You make me insane.

I'm insane,

Yes I'm for you but you never listen.

I'm insane,

You make me insane.

I'm insane,

End up single but I know what I'm missing.

It's disturbing I forgot to mention,

Think I'm craving some other attention.)

SCENE TWO

[Alex and Drew are in the living room. Drew is at his computer. Alex is stirring awake]

ALEX
Drew? What are you doing up? Insomnia getting to you again?

DREW
Yeah. It’s fine though.

ALEX
It’s not fine. You need to sleep

DREW[Singing]

It's the same each and every night.

Glare at my screen with two big bloodshot eyes.

I'm stuck self-torturing; my meds are failing me.

Internal clock in smithereens.

Can't fix this, I'm hopeless.

(My eyes are stapled open wide,

As I lay down on my side.

I am bouncing off these walls.)

Notice my hands begin to twitch.

Unprovoked assaulting of my conscious wit.

Me and the TV are enemies.

Sickening static surrounds my mind.

I'm losing time, and realizing that

After days of thought that I'm

Stuck self-torturing; my meds are failing me.

Internal clock in smithereens.

Can't fix this, I'm hopeless.

(My eyes are stapled open wide,

As I lay down on my side.

I am bouncing off these walls.

As I focus on the clock,

Time stands still, but I cannot.

I should strap myself in bed.

I guess I'll sleep when I am dead.)

Talk to myself, lie in the darkness so content.

As the sun begins to rise, I can barely shut my eyes.

This crazed, delirious mess; laughing at everything I see.

My sanity is spent. Just tell me where our time went.

I'm losing it.

Attention: All insomniacs, please raise your right hand.

And kindly, repeat after me.

"I guess I'll sleep when I am dead!"

'Cause I'm stuck self-torturing; my meds are failing me.

Internal clock in smithereens.

Can't fix this, I'm hopeless.

(My eyes are stapled open wide,

As I lay down on my side.

I am bouncing off these walls.

As I focus on the clock,

Time stands still, but I cannot.

I should strap myself in bed.

I guess I'll sleep when I am dead.

I guess I'll sleep when I am)

ALEX

I’ll stay up with you, bro.

DREW

Thanks, Alex

SCENE THREE

[Ashley is sitting on the couch next to Kaori and Alex]

ASHLEY
I’m bored.

KAORI

That’s what happens when we don’t do anything

ALEX
I know what we could do!
KAORI

If it involves sex, then no.

ALEX
Damn. I was thinking a threesome.

ASHLEY
You’re cute, Alex.

ALEX
That’s me.

[Drew, Jaiden, and Andy enter]

DREW
Hey guys. So, Andy’s got a warning. We have to keep him from bingeing.

ASHLEY
Okay. Whatever.

DREW
Don’t whatever me.

JAIDEN

Don’t start you two.

ANDY
Hey. I was thinking something

KAORI
What?
ANDY

Six people is an awful lot for an apartment this small. How about we get another apartment? Three here, three there.

JAIDEN

There’s one upstairs that’s available

DREW

Alright. Two apartments. Works for me.

ASHLEY
Who’s going to the next apartment?

ANDY
Me, Drew and Kaori?

JAIDEN
I’m okay with it. It’s only for a little bit until Ash, Andy, and Alex can get on their feet, right?
DREW

Yeah. So it’s settled. Let’s get packing. I’ll go talk to the landlord.

[Drew exits]

JAIDEN
Alright. Let’s go

[Jaiden and Ashley exit opposite of Drew]

Andy, why you, me, and Drew?

Why?

You arguing?

No. It works.

[Curtains close]

SCENE FOUR

[Alex is sitting in his room. Jaiden enters]

JAIDEN
Alex, you okay?

ALEX[Singing]

I can feel the cold hand of death

And the end drawing near

I've seen gods of the men

And all of which they fear

(Sing to me songs, of the Darkness

Farewell to heaven, my friend

Come to me, bury your sorrow

Temptation, await the condemned(x2))

[Alex rocks back and forth for a bit. Jaiden stares at him with slight confusion, slight fear]

(Sing to me songs, of the Darkness

Farewell to heaven, my friend

come to me, bury your sorrow

Temptation, await the condemned)

Sing to me songs of the Darkness(x4)

JAIDEN

Alex, I think you need some help.

No! I’m fine!

[Curtains close]

SCENE FIVE

[Jaiden enters living room. Ashley is sitting on the couch]

JAIDEN
Ashley. I think there’s something up with Alex. Can you take a look at him.

ASHLEY
Sure.

[Jaiden exits and returns with Alex. She then exits again]

ALEX
Ashley. What are you going to tell me about?
ASHLEY
Ashley’s not here right now. Please leave a message at the tone. Beep.

ALEX
Fine. Who is it?

ASHLEY
Me? I’m Allie.
ALEX
Allie? What exactly are you?
ASHLEY[Singing]

Rah! [2x]

I-i-i have a heart I swear I do

But just not baby when it comes to you

I get so hungry when you say you love me, hush

If you know what's good for you

I think you're hot I think you're cool

You're the kinda guy I'd stalk in school

But now that I'm famous, you're up my anus

Now I'm gonna eat you fool!

(I eat boys up, breakfast and lunch

Then when I'm thirsty, I drink their blood

Carnivore animal, I am a cannibal

I eat boys up, you better run

I am Cannibal cannibal, cannibal, I am

I am cannibal, Cannibal, I'll eat you up I am

I am cannibal cannibal, cannibal, I am

I am cannibal, cannibal, I'll eat you up)

Whenever you tell me I'm pretty

That's when the hunger really hits me

Your little heart goes pitter patter

I want your liver on a platter

Use your finger to stir my tea

And for dessert I'll suck your teeth

Be too sweet and you'll be a gonner

Yep, I'll pull a Jeffrey Dahmer

(I eat boys up, breakfast and lunch

Then when I'm thirsty, I drink their blood

Carnivore animal, I am a cannibal

I eat boys up, you better run

I am Cannibal cannibal, cannibal, I am

ALEX
Uh, Allie? You’re scaring me.

[Ashley laughs and tackles Alex]

SCENE SIX

[Drew, Andy, and Kaori are moving the couch into the center of the room. They set it down]

That should do it.

DREW
Looks good.

KAORI[gasping]
Uh huh. Sleep now.

DREW

No. C’mon!

KAORI
Drew! We just carried that up four flights of stairs.

DREW
So?

ANDY
Kaori! Let’s have some fun!

KAORI
I’m exhausted!

DREW

[Kaori sits on the couch]

KAORI

It’s a nice apartment though.

DREW

Yeah it is.

ANDY
I picked well.

DREW
Sure, uh huh.

ANDY
Wanna go Drew? Let’s go.

KAORI

If you’re gonna fight, do it shirtless. I need some action in my life.

DREW

Kaori, I think you’re too exhausted.

KAORI
Maybe.

ANDY
Yeah, I’m not taking off my shirt. I got a bit of flub.

DREW
Really? Did you just say that?

ANDY
I sure as f**k did.

DREW
Damn! No chill.

KAORI
Yeah, don’t wanna see that.

DREW

Ah, so it’s me you wanna see.

KAORI

Never said that.

ANDY
But you implied it. You like Drew.

KAORI

No! I don’t like Drew.

ANDY
Kaori and Drew, sitting in a tree, F-U-C-K-I-N-G.

[Curtains close]

SCENE SEVEN

ANDY

Stuck in a limbo here we go

KAORI

Drew. I need to say something.

DREW

What’s up?

I always knew you were a bad boy

I used to think that it was cool

You took me down just like a Rob Roy

But now I'm coming next to you

Run, Devil, run run Devil, run run

Run Devil Devil run run

I never knew about your red horns

I never saw your evil scars

You used to be what I would live for

But then you went and slapped my heart

The promises that you promised

Are about as real as an air guitar

So watch your back 'cause I'mma steal your car

(You better run, run, run, run, run

'Cause there's gonna be some hell to pay

You better run, run, run, run, run

And that's the only thing I'm gonna say, hey

I wish I'd known the right from the start

That I was dancing with the dark

You better run, run, run, run

Run Devil, run, run, Devil, run run

Run Devil Devil run run)

Now that you're living with the vampires

You better get yourself a gun

I'll make you sing just like a boy's choir

Run, Devil, run run, Devil, run run

Run Devil Devil run run

(You better run, run, run, run, run

'Cause there's gonna be some hell to pay

(You better run, run, run, run, run

ALEX
Take that, you italian plumber stereotype!

DREW

Don’t insult Mario like that.

ALEX
Blow me.

KAORI

Excuse, but I’m that italian, plumber stereotype.

DREW
Jaiden. I need to tell you something.

JAIDEN

What’s up baby?

DREW
Kaori told me she loves me.

JAIDEN
I figured this would happen.

DREW
You did

JAIDEN

It’s Kaori. She tends to ‘fall in love’ with my boyfriends.

DREW
So, she’s making it up?

JAIDEN
No. She’s serious. Or so she thinks. You don’t know this, but she’s just as fucked up as us. She has PTSD and Amnestic disorder.

DREW
So, she’s forgetful.

JAIDEN

It’s more than that.

KAORI

I hope y’all aren’t talking about me.

JAIDEN
Why would we be?
KAORI
Fair enough.

DREW

So, she’s troubled. No biggie. We all are.

ALEX
Son of a b***h! I’mma f*****g kill you Mario! Let’s go, Link!

JAIDEN

Should we have let them play Smash Bros.?

DREW

Ah, they’re fine.

JAIDEN
Okay. But I need you to know. Don’t lie to Kaori and get her hopes up. It’ll just make it worse.

DREW

I understand.

[Curtains close]

SCENE TEN

[Drew, Kaori, and Andy are staring out the window]

DREW[Singing]

A heart made of stone

Callous and bone

Fracture and tear it out

To let it go

KAORI[Singing]

And to think

I called it my own

And I would have never thought

The pain could grow

ANDY[singing]

So I'll break it

Knowing what you said

The pain is what you make it

Sadly you are so mistaken

I will take you with a grain

And step into the changes

Throw away the empty heart

ALL

(Right now

Never want to leave this place

And right now

See it in a different way

So right now

Even if you take me on

I'll stand the lonely

Stand the lonely)

DREW

It's harder to know

Just where to go

If only the stars aligned

The sunsets glowed

KAORI

I don't need

A calm in a storm

Or something to scream about

With empty lungs

ANDY

So I'll break it

Knowing what you said

The pain is what you make it

Sadly you are so mistaken

I will take you with a grain

And step into the changes

Throw away the empty heart

ALL

(Right now

Never want to leave this place

And right now

See it in a different way

So right now

Even if you take me on

I'll stand the lonely

Stand the lonely)

(Right now

Never want to leave this place

And right now

See it in a different way

So right now

Even if you take me on

I'll stand the lonely

Stand the lonely)

(Right now

Never want to leave this place

And right now

See it in a different way

So right now

Even if you take me on

I'll stand the lonely

Stand the lonely)

ANDY

(Stand the lonely)

END OF ACT TWO

ACT THREE

SCENE ONE

[Alex enters the living room, covered in blood, dragging a person behind him]

ALEX

Don’t worry, little one. Uncle Alex’s gonna take good care of you

[Singing]

I can't even remember how it started.

A nagging voice.

My normal then departed from me.

Primal urges spiriting my sense away,

Foggy glimpses of the boy I used to be.

Preyed upon by the lowest of society,

They're parasitic,

Demanding your conformity.

Pushing limits,

Things are gonna get real ugly.

Ripping through the last shreds of my humanity.

I'm not but a shadow of what I was,

And I'm Hellbent and headed for you.

Surely you've realized that there's no way out of this alive;

Close your eyes,

'Cause it's time for you to:

Go To Sleep.

(Climbing through your window pane,

I'm creeping closer,

Can you hear me?

Go on, mock me, say I'm insane;

But it's you who's caught in my game.

Cat and mouse,

A lovely circle.

Watch your tongue,

Those words are hurtful.

Hush now, won't you stay awhile?

Join me with a painted smile)

Tragic faces stationed at my bedside,

Warm embraces hollow on the inside.

And their eyes betray them,

Widening with fear and worry.

Fuses burn down,

And my vision becomes blurry.

Liars always fill me with this unchained fury.

Carve this face into their darkest memories.

'Cause that's just showbiz,

This is a Divine Comedy.

Ready! Action!

Pray that you are fast enough to flee.

I'm not entirely unsympathetic.

So I'll give you the count until three.

Surely you've realized that there's no way out of here alive;

Close your eyes,

'Cause it's time for you to:

Go To Sleep.

(Climbing through your window pane,

I'm creeping closer,

Can you hear me?

Go on, mock me, say I'm insane;

But it's you who's caught in my game.

Cat and mouse,

A lovely circle.

Watch your tongue,

Those words are hurtful.

Hush now, won't you stay awhile?

Join me with a painted smile.)

Patience is a virtue,

When you're working on a masterpiece.

And tolerance is valued when you're,

Working on a living canvas.

Stitch my words into tender flesh,

This grin will stay forever fresh.

Don't be lonely,

Don't be jealous.

Your turn's coming,

How could I forget?

[Spoken:]

Still awake? Not for long...

(Climbing through your window pane,

I'm creeping closer,

Can you hear me?

Go on, mock me, say I'm insane;

But it's you who's caught in my game.

Cat and mouse,

A lovely circle.

Watch your tongue,

Those words are hurtful.

Hush now, won't you stay awhile?

Join me with a painted smile)

[He stabs the person and laughs. Curtains close]

SCENE TWO

[Drew is sitting on his bed with Jaiden]

DREW

Jaiden. I discovered something about you. It’s actually quite shocking. You apparently have a blood right.

JAIDEN

A blood right?
DREW
It’s a right that you have based on your blood. Your family.

JAIDEN

What is it.

DREW
I don’t know exactly.

JAIDEN
Weird.

DREW[Singing]

Running in circles monotony’s broken

These visions turn nightmare when fate is awoken

And nowhere is safe from the grasp of deception

You can't trust a thing not even your own reflection

(Different as the day and night

Perceptions of wrong and right

Everything's a blatant lie

Hiding right before your eyes

Contradictions everywhere

Are you even really there?

Bear your burden through the flood

Take your place that's written in blood)

Good and the bad, they will both try to sway you

Be steadfast and unmoved your motives must stay true

Your bloodline, the frontline is pulling the strings here

Their foundations are crumbling built upon pain and fear

(Different as the day and night

Perceptions of wrong and right

Everything's a blatant lie

Hiding right before your eyes

Contradictions everywhere

Are you even really there?

Bear your burden through the flood

Take your place that's written in blood)

Are you prepared for the turn things are taking

Steady yourself little one you are shaking

Stand take your place in the cycle of your blood right

Don't let the things that they say unnerve you

Swallow the feeling don't let it show through

Ready for battle we've already won this fight

(Different as the day and night

Perceptions of wrong and right

That’s what the test shows.

KAORI

How did you even get the test.

ANDY

I told her it was for school.

DREW

I told her she has some kind of blood right. Didn’t think it’d be as lame as that.

ANDY
Marilyn Monroe dude.

DREW
I know.
KAORI

Do we tell her?

ANDY
I think you should tell her.

[Jaiden enters]

Tell me what?
ANDY
It’s nothing.

DREW

[Drew gets up and goes in the hallway. Jaiden comes up the stairs]

JAIDEN

Hey baby. What are you doing out here?

DREW

How did you?

JAIDEN
How did I do what?
DREW
How did you just come up the stairs. you were in the room with Andy and Kaori.

JAIDEN

Drew, Andy’s at work, Kaori’s downstairs with Ashley and Alex.

[Drew opens the door to his apartment]

DREW

It’s empty.

JAIDEN

Are you hallucinating us now?

DREW I think I may have.

JAIDEN
Do you think you need to go see the doctor?

DREW

No. I’ll be fine. It’s no problem.

[Jaiden hugs Drew. Curtains close]

SCENE FOUR

[Drew, Andy, and Alex are walking down the street]

ALEX
Hey, wanna play a game?
ANDY

ALEX
Describe the person’s life. I’ll start. See that old mexican lady? She’s really on the run from the FBI, ‘cause she managed to break into Fort Knox.

ANDY
Overactive imagination

DREW

Insane

ANDY
Same thing

ALEX
Tomato, Tomahto

DREW[singing]

Won't you come out

We could paint the town red

Kill a little time

You can sleep when you're dead

Cause it isn't over yet

Get it out of your head

ALEX[Singing]

Chase a couple hearts

We could leave 'em in shreds

Meet me in the gutter

Make the devil your friend

Just remember what I said

Cause it isn't over yet

ANDY[singing]

Just remember what I said

Cause it isn't over yet

DREW

Say you have a little faith in me

Need to have a little trust in me

Just close your eyes and let me lead

Follow me home

To where the lonely ones roam

ALEX

I've been waiting for you

Holding my breath

Til my body turned blue

DREW

We've got everything to lose

Yeah I'm waiting on you

Meet me in the shadows

SCENE FIVE

[Kaori and Drew are sitting on the couch]

KAORI

So, you don’t love me back.

DREW

You’re a great friend, but no.

KAORI

I understand.

DREW
That’s good. I mean, you’re like a sister to me.

KAORI

Really?

[Alex enters]

ALEX

You have no idea.

KAORI

What’s that supposed to mean?
ALEX
I don’t know. Just felt like a good time to say that.

KAORI

You’re a dumbass

ALEX

Look at that, leveled up from dumbfuck to dumbass

DREW

Still wouldn’t be proud of that.

ALEX

Aw, bro bro. C’mon!

DREW

Been watching Disney again?
ALEX
Why did they have to end Gravity Falls?! Why?!

KAORI

Let’s ignore him.

ALEX
You can silence me, but you can’t silence the truth!

DREW
Go get some ice cream or something

[hands Alex a 20. Alex races out of the room]

KAORI

So, where were we? Oh right. Like a sister.

JAIDEN

Where you going?
DREW
To the store.

JAIDEN

Okay, but I need to tell you something first

DREW

What’s up sweetheart?

JAIDEN[Singing]

You got your keys, but where ya goin'?

The third degree just isn't workin'

Cause you walked out without asking me to go

And if I followed you home, would you be alone?

I checked your phone, cause it was beepin'

Are you alone?

I know you're creepin'

Cause you walked out without asking me to go

But if I followed you home, I hope you're alone

I'm three steps from the edge, woah

Don't push me over it

Don't you know, don't you know

(Every girl is capable of murder, if you hurt her

Watch out you don't push me any further, any further

You're not the only one walking 'round with a loaded gun

This little girl is capable of murder, cause you hurt her)

My hands are clean, not yet a killer

Ain't I your queen?

And did you tell her?

Cause you broke down all my shoulda known betters

And then I followed you home, throwin' sticks and stones

I'm two steps from the edge, woah

Don't push me over it

Don't you know, don't you know

(Every girl is capable of murder, if you hurt her

Watch out you don't push me any further, any further

You're not the only one walkin 'round with a loaded gun

This little girl is capable of murder, cause you hurt her)

Don't you know you should never treat a girl like that?

Got a good alibi and my bag's all packed

Don't you know you should never treat a girl like that?

Cause the next one's gonna have a hammer pulled back

I need to tell you something. Look. I’m sorry I’m not the greatest person in the world. But I’ve dealt with a lot of pain before. I mean, my dad abused me. My uncle raped me. The only one in my family that gave two s***s about me was my mother. It’s troubling, but I need to get it out.

DREW

Don’t worry, Kaori.

KAORI

Are you sure?

DREW

Yeah.

[Singing]

You think your life is done he took it all with him

So you drink enough for it to wash away the sin

Such a s****y thing he did, the way he said goodbye

You think your life is done he took it all with him

So you drink enough for it to wash away the sin

Such a s****y thing he did, the way he said goodbye

You can take it out on me if you like

(F**k away the pain, erase him from your brain

Fake it like you love me, Come on baby touch me,

Show me where it hurts, this dirty little curse

Don't have to be ashamed if you wanna scream my name

While I f**k away the pain)

You hate the way he fooled around behind your back

A slave to him but now with me, no strings attached

But if you wanna use me up and leave me in the bed

If that's what you need go right ahead

(F**k away the pain, erase him from your brain

Fake it like you love me, Come on baby touch me,

Show me where it hurts, this dirty little curse

Don't have to be ashamed if you wanna scream my name

While I f**k away the pain)

Stronger than a shot of whiskey or any pill you take

(F**k away the pain, erase him from your brain

Fake it like you love me, Come on baby touch me,

Show me where it hurts, this dirty little curse

Don't have to be ashamed if you wanna scream my name

While I f**k away the pain)

KAORI

I love you Drew.

DREW

I love you too Kaori.
