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?
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...
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
Absolutely, Alexa.
Listen up, people.
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.
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,
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.
Uh, Courtney.
Can you please not be
Okay, I had a really rough day.
Mr. Fogel is, like,
freaking obsessed with me.
He kept me after class...
to discuss
I really need
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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,
movement, breath,
your accent.
