Boys?

Thank you.

Welcome...

..to the Spring Prom.

Chip!

Didn't you hear me calling your name?

You weren't calling my name.

Yes, I was.

I-I couldn't hear it.

Listen, I need to talk to you

about you-know-who.

Our little Needy.

I hope everybody had enough

opportunity to consume some of the...

..Pecan Sandies...

..and Cran-Grape...

..that was so generously donated

by the Parents Club.

But the real treat is yet to come.

She's been acting a little off lately.

Look,

I think I know what's wrong with her.

What?

What is it?

You know, how Needy has been

really upset since Collin Gray died?

Well, it's not just because he was like...

..brutally murdered and stuff.

I don't wanna say this.

- Say it!

Needy and Collin were intimate.

And by that...

..I mean they were poking on a

semi-regular basis.

No...

She and Collin were doing things that

you have never even heard of.

Okay, total varsity moves.

I just can't believe that she would mess

with your head like this.

I care about you so much, Chip.

More than I've ever had the guts to admit.

These fine, young gentlemen,

..have been generous enough to

take time out...

..from their sold-out national tour.

To play our dance. For free.

Needy didn't deserve a boy like you.

Boys and girls,

..please welcome...

..L-o-o-o-w Shoulder!

"Through The Trees"

performed by Low Shoulder

All alone in an empty room,

Nothing left but the memories of when...

..I had my best friend.

Oh, you're so salty!

Yeah! You're...

..salty too.

Say it like you mean it.

Say I'm better than Needy.

- What? Why?

Take my breath as your own.

Take my eyes to guide you home.

Because I'm still here breathing now.

I'm still here breathing now.

I'm still here breathing now.

I'm still here...

Chip!

Because I'm still here breathing now.

I'm still here breathing now.

I'm still here breathing now.

And I'm still here so...

Because I'm still here breathing now.

I'm still here breathing now.

I'm still here breathing now.

And I'm still here...

Because you're not coming back.

What are you doing?

- Swimming.

Come on, Chip.

Show me your breast stroke.

I feel so empty.

Yeah, me too.

Please just come here and kiss me again.

I can't.

I'm sorry.

This just feels weird.

Help!

Needy.

Needy.

She can fly?

She's just hovering.

It's not that impressive.

God, do you have to undermine

everything that I do?

You're such a player-hater.

You're a jerk.

Wow! Nice insult, Hannah Montana!

You got any more harsh digs?

You know what?

You were never a good friend.

Even when we were little.

You used to steal my toys...

..pour lemonade on my bed.

- And now I'm eating your boyfriend!

See, atleast I'm consistent.

Why do you need him? Huh?

You could have anybody,

you think want, Jennifer.

So..why Chip?

Is it just to piss me off?

Or is it because you're just really insecure?

I'm not insecure, Needy.

God, that's a joke!

How can I ever be insecure?

I was the Snowflake Queen!

Yeah...

..two years ago.

When you were socially relevant.

I'm still socially relevant.

And when you didn't need laxatives

to stay skinny.

I'm going...

..to eat your soul...

..and sh*t it out, Lesnicki.

I thought you only murdered boys.

I go both ways.

Do you have a tampon?

Thought I'd ask.

You seemed like you might be plugging.

Oh, Chip!

Needy.

I should have believed you.

I'm sorry.

No, no! Listen to me! Listen to me!

I'll dial & get some help, okay?

Okay?

Yeah, okay.

It's not working.

Come on.

Needy. Needy.

I'm going somewhere.

No! No, no, no.

you're not going anywhere.

Yes, I'm!

I think I already died before you got here,

..but I woke up when I heard your voice.

I love you.

I love you too.

And you look totally hot in that dress.

Oh, God!

You're clearly delirious.

No, I'm not.

Chip?

No!

No-o-o!

No...!

Best friends forever, huh?

You killed my f***ing boyfriend!

You goddamned monster!

You..Zombitch!

You know what this is for?

It's for cutting boxes.

Do you buy all your murder weapons

at Home Depot?

God, you're butch.

Cross out Jennifer!

My tit!

No...

..your heart.

Oh, Jennifer!

What's is it, baby?

Needy?

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

I don't know who Needy Lesnicki

is anymore.

I'm a different person now.

A person who uses curse words...

..and kicks orderlies and sees things

that aren't there.

A very bad, very damaged person.

But sometimes, change can be good.

For instance, most occult scholars

don't know this...

..but if you're bitten by a demon...

..and you live...

..you just might absorb some of

the demon's abilities.

You just might get lucky for once

in your miserable life.

Where you looking to go, young lady?

- East, towards Madisson.

Hop in my chariot.

So why you headed East?

I'm following this rock band.

Must be one in hell of a group.

Tonight's gonna be their last show.

"Violet"

performed by Hole

And the sky was made of amethyst.

And all the stars look just like little fish.

You should learn when to go.

You should learn how to say no.

Might last a day, yeah-h-h!

Mine is forever.

Might last a day, yeah-h-h!

Well, mine is forever.

When they get what they want,

they never want it again.

When they get what they want,

they never want it again.

Go on, take everything,

take everything I want you to.

Go on, take everything,

take everything I want you to.

Hey, look at this motherf***er.

Go open the door.

"In the Flesh"

performed by Blondie

Darling, darling, darling,

I can't wait to see you.

Your picture ain't enough.

I can't wait to touch you in the flesh.

Darling, darling, darling,

I can't wait to hear you.

Remembering your love.

Is nothing without you in the flesh.

In the flesh!

In the flesh!

In the flesh!

In the flesh!
