Dare

Well, fellas, you're late...

And, Maya, I'm here...

The boys in the band...

decide to appear...

We walk through the door...

Savor the air...

The girls on the floor...

have come here to stare...

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...

We've come here to stare...

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...

Yeah...

Don't touch the girls...

Don't kiss the girls...

I have the right

to pull the girls...

Get in a fight

on every night...

The scratches,

the bruises, and the bites...

But I want to touch,

and I want to kiss...

And if you say no,

then I will persist...

With you tonight,

you'll make it right...

You know that you're

whetting my appetite...

You can call me X,

you can call me Y...

You can call me Z,

you can come and try...

Come and try...

Na-na, na-na, na-na,

na na na...

Na-na, na-na, na-na,

na na na...

Na-na, na-na, na-na,

na na na...

Na-na, na-na, na-na,

na na na...

Na-na, na-na, na-na,

na na na...

Na-na, na-na, na-na,

na na na...

Almost finished.

Okay.

You can sit up.

Everything

is perfectly fine.

Are you sure?

An irregular cycle is

very common with girls your age.

There are a lot

of contributing factors.

Stress is a big one.

Your mom tells me

you're quite the student.

Have you been

under more stress than usual?

I don't think so.

Are you sure there's nothing

wrong or abnormal or anything?

Well, I would like to start

you on a birth control regimen.

The hormones in it will help you

regulate your period.

The pill?

Mm-hmm.

We'll just see how you do on it.

You're not sexually active,

are you?

I'm sorry, but why did you

just assume that I wasn't...

sexually active?

Well, I did just perform

a pelvic examination.

So physically,

you still have some remainder...

of the protective tissue.

Oh.

Ah, yeah.

Yeah, sorry.

Hey, hold on.

Let me finish this page.

Yeah, you do realize

that it's not cool...

to be excited about reading

before school starts.

Really?

Is that the case?

- Yeah.

- Such a morale booster.

- Little booster.

- A booster.

When did you become an expert

on what's cool?

Oh, from the womb.

I did try and call Johnny

several times over the weekend...

to schedule a rehearsal,

but he doesn't call me back,

so there's no way that I can be

ready to present today.

Alexa,

if you can't organize yourself...

I am organized.

It's just that he...

Excuse me, Miss Davis?

I talked to my mom,

and she said to tell you...

I'm really not comfortable

playing Donna's girlfriend...

in some lesbian play.

Please tell your mother...

that The Children's Hour

is a famous piece of literature,

not some lesbian play.

Alexa, you will present today.

Sorry, I had detention.

Johnny, Grant Matson

will be here in two days.

Do you understand?

You will not embarrass me

or this school...

in front of my only student

that ever made it.

Yeah, okay.

Okay, good.

Now get up there.

We're starting

with you and Alexa.

Oh.

Oh, Miss Davis,

is it okay if I tape record

the rehearsal today...

just so I can practice the lines

in the right rhythm at home?

Absolutely, Alexa.

Listen up, people.

Grant Matson is doing eight

shows a week on this tour...

and still made time

to come to our class.

What the f***

are you looking at?

Nothing.

Hey, Donna,

forgot your script.

Nice milk.

Moo.

Don't worry about it.

Thanks, Alexa.

Ben.

You didn't suck in rehearsal.

Thanks.

Well,

what do you want me to say?

I want you to say

that I really have it in me...

to be so brilliant

that people are just gonna be...

emotionally devastated

by my performance.

You really do have it in you

to emotionally devastate people.

Forget it.

I think you should

pick me up at 6:
30...

so I'm not stressed

about being late.

Okay, Mom.

That's a great idea.

Ask her something,

and she'd answer her in French.

It was hi-larious.

That b*tch is insane.

Johnny and I had her sophomore year,

and she freaking hated us,

didn't she, J?

That's 'cause you and Johnny

probably acted like badasses.

That's me.

Johnny,

can I talk to you for a second?

Is there any way that I can

get you to take this seriously?

Our scene.

Why are you

even doing drama?

'Cause he totaled his car...

and got kicked off soccer

for smoking.

Look, I know you don't care

about anything but yourself,

but this is important to me.

Wait, you know

I don't care about what?

Learn your lines, okay?

Listen, I know

you lick ass in drama,

but don't pull the superiority

sh*t on me anywhere else, okay?

Damn.

Um, you could leave now.

Uh, Courtney.

Can you please not be

so uptight right now?

Okay, I had a really rough day.

Mr. Fogel is, like,

freaking obsessed with me.

He kept me after class...

to discuss

my problems drawing fruit.

I really need

to take a mental health day.

You mean skip school?

Yeah, same difference.

Oh, what am I gonna wear

on Friday?

What's on Friday?

Johnny's

having this huge party.

I'm going with Gabby and Jen.

But I want to get something

new at Urban maybe.

So anyway,

Gabby tells me...

you get to make out

with Johnny Drake.

God,

she is so obsessed with sex.

Yeah, she's a total whore.

But whatever, dude.

Johnny's really hot.

You would totally f*** him.

No, I wouldn't, actually.

You know, he didn't even

call me back about rehearsal.

He's the worst possible

scene partner.

Are you on Prozac

and not telling me about it?

What?

Why?

Because your sex drive is,

like, shockingly underdeveloped.

Same thing

happened to my dad.

Well, whatever.

I'd f*** him.

Your dad?

Ew.

Ooh, you b*tch.

Wasn't Grant amazing?

Yeah, I guess so.

Maybe

we should just go.

After you made me

wait 20 minutes? Uh-uh.

You're going up to him

and introducing yourself...

when he comes out.

Okay.

There he is.

Well, I don't want him

to think I'm a freak...

for coming to his show

the night before.

Didn't you once tell me

that I should support you...

in everything it is

you want to do?

This is what you want to do,

so I'm supporting you.

- Okay?

- Okay.

- Go.

- Okay, okay, okay.

Grant, hey.

Hey.

- Where are we going?

- I so need a drink.

Oh, my God.

This woman in the first row...

What was that?

I don't... I...

I don't even know.

Don't you come toward me

another step, Stanley.

- Or I'll...

- What?

Some awful thing will happen.

It will!

What are you putting on now?

I warn you.

Don't.

I'm in danger.

Let's stop there, folks.

Grant.

Donna and Gabby,

you're up next.

It's such an honor

to meet you.

I saw your play last night,

and you were brilliant.

Thanks.

Who are you?

Uh, Johnny.

Do you want to act?

I don't know.

Maybe.

Well, you're raw,

but you've definitely got something.

Has Miss Davis forced

Stanislavsky on you yet?

You should try

actually reading it.

I think you'd really dig it.

Oh, yeah, okay.

Thanks.

Uh, Mr. Matson?

Could I just have a second

of your time after class?

So you think

you want to be an actress.

Okay, well,

we could do some basic stuff,

movement, breath,

your accent.
