Welcome to the 3RD ACT - Not Again

Scene 3 opens

Leonard: Felicity, can you help me out for a second please?

Felicity: Sure thing. *walks over to Leonard* What’s up?

Leonard: Can you give me a hand with these boxes? They’ve got several props in them that are fragile, and quite frankly, I don’t quite trust the teens with them yet.

Felicity: Where do you want these to go?

Leonard: Let’s put them backstage for now. *lifts one of the boxes*

Felicity: *lifts the other box* These aren’t very heavy.

Leonard: And thank goodness for that!

Both: *carry the boxes backstage and set them down*

Felicity: Hey, Leonard. Do you think this show’s going to work out, considering what’s going on with Mr. Myers and the bank?

Leonard: Don’t worry about that, Felicity.

Felicity: I’m Mr. Myers’ assistant! I’m supposed to be worried about these kinds of things!

Leonard: Mr. Myers has got it under control.

Mr. Myers: *walks over to Leonard* Leonard! Felicity! The bank told me that if this show is a success and we raise enough money, we get to keep this theater. But if we don’t, they’ll repossess it.

Leonard: We’ve got to work our butts off if we want to keep this place.

Mr. Myers: Get all of the students in here. They need to hear this news.

Mr. Myers: Students! I must inform you that we need to do our best to make this show one every individual will remember. The bank will be repossessing this theater if we don’t raise enough money from our show. We all need to work together to make sure we can keep this theater! You’re all dismissed.

Leonard: *walks up to Eli* You must be Eli, right?

Eli/Conductor: Yes, I am.

Leonard: I noticed that your friend, um… Jerald Harriet, isn’t here?

Eli/Conductor: He said he would be right back. I don’t know what he’s doing.

Leonard: When he gets back, tell him what Mr. Myers told all of us, would you please?

Eli/Conductor: Don’t worry, I will.

Leonard: Thank you. *walks away*

Jerald H/KJ: *walks up to Eli* Hey, man. What’d I miss?

Eli/Conductor: Mr. Myers says that we all need to work together because if we don’t raise enough money from the show, the bank’s gonna repossess the theater.

Jerald H/KJ: Oh, great.

Eli/Conductor: Besides, where’d you even run off to?

Jerald H/KJ: I had to use the restroom. I held it overnight.

Eli/Conductor: TMI, dude.

Jerald H/KJ: Hey, you’re the one who asked me in the first place.

Craig, Jerald P, and Charlotte: *walk up to Jerald H and Eli*

Jerald H and Eli: *look over at them*

Craig: Hey guys!

Jerald P: It’s been a while!

Jerald H/KJ: *gives Craig and Jerald P high fives*

Charlotte: Eli! *gives Eli a big hug*

Eli/Conductor: *hugs Charlotte back* It’s been forever!

Jerald H/KJ: What’re you guys doing here?

Jerald P: You know Craig and I. We just had to sign up for the biggest musical camp of the year!

Craig: And we actually saved up enough cash to pay for ourselves this time!

Jerald H/KJ: By the way, Craig, Jerald, this is Eli. Eli, this is Craig and Jerald P.

Eli: Nice to meet you guys. This is my girlfriend, Charlotte Miller. Charlotte, this is Jerald H, the guy who brought me closer to God.

Jerald H/KJ: I think it’s safe to say to Charlotte that I used an alter ego to help Craig two years ago.

Charlotte: Yeah, I remember that!

Eli/Conductor: I should let you two know *points to Craig and Jerald P* that last year, your friend here helped me out as well. If he didn’t I could’ve become something horrible.

Jerald H/KJ: He called himself ‘The Conductor.’

Craig: Why ‘The Conductor?’

Eli/Conductor: It’s always been my dream to conduct a band or a choir of some sort.

Jerald P: Dude, that sounds awesome!

Eli/Conductor: It’s pretty fun.

Jerald H/KJ: Wait a minute, where’d Mary go?

Eli/Conductor: She ran off looking for you. She’s pretty ticked, so you’d better hurry and find her.

Jerald H/KJ: Alright. *walks into main lobby*

Jerald H/KJ: *looks around for Mary, then spots her talking with someone and walks over to her*

Mary/BB: Oh my gosh! That’s one of the craziest stories I’ve ever heard!

Oliver: I know, right?! *looks at Jerald H* Who are you?

Jerald H/KJ: I’m Jerald Harriet. And you are?

Oliver: I’m Oliver Hart.

Jerald H/KJ: So, what brings you here to the Lighthouse Theater?

Oliver: Well, I honestly like to sing, even though I really don’t look like the kind of guy who sings.

Jerald H/KJ: Really? Will you be performing anything?

Mary/BB: You should!

Oliver: *scoffs* Well, I mean, I guess I could.

Mary/BB: You would do great! Oh! I’ll be right back! *runs off*

Oliver: Alright, between you and me, I’m actually here to see if I can find someone to partner with if you know what I mean.

Jerald H/KJ: I know what you mean. And between you and me, if you lay a hand on Mary, you’re gonna be dead. Do I make myself clear?

Oliver: *laughs* Do you think I’m gonna stay away from her? She’s cute!

Jerald H/KJ: Her and I are together!

Oliver: So?

Jerald H/KJ: If you do anything to try and take her from me, you’re gonna regret it. *walks away and back to his friends*

Oliver: I’ll show him.1002Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaNthrVTeT
