(The other girls murmur and point to Crybaby, Angelita, and Brandon. Kelly turns around and charges Crybaby. A fight bell rings.)

[Continuation of “CLASS FIGHT”]

-[Angelita]

Watch out!

(Kelly slaps Crybaby. Hard. Enough to make Crybaby fall back onto the ground.)

-[Crybaby]

Ugh!

(The kids yell while Kelly slaps Crybaby repeatedly.)

-[Kids chant]

Fight! Fight! Fight!

(Kelly draws a knife, and cuts Crybaby's arm, making it bleed.)

-[Kids chant]

Fight! Fight! Fight!

(Kelly laughing)

(Crybaby screaming)

(Ms. Daphne is quickly made aware of the situation and blows a whistle. The kids stop.)

-[Ms. Daphne] What the f***!

[Continuation of “CLASS FIGHT”]

(Crybaby's powers become out of control, and she starts to choke Kelly with her hair.)

-[Kelly]

What are you doing? Put me down you freak!

(The scene ends. Ms. Daphne pulls both Crybaby and Kelly by the ears to the Principal's office.)

-[Ms. Daphne]

I would have thought that young ladies like you would know better.

-[Kelly]

Quit it! My mom spent good money getting these ears done

-[Ms. Daphne]

You have really blown it this time. Sit down. I mean it.

-[Crybaby VO]

I shouldn't have lost control like that. She’s not a bad person, she’s just projecting her insecurities onto me.

-[Kelly VO]

She didn’t even leave a mark on me. I broke skin.

(Clock ticks as the scene moves to the Principal's office, where the Principal is seen talking to a staff member.)

-[Principal]

You said you dress as a woman now?

-[Ms. Harper]

Yes, I’m transitioning. Look—

-[Principal]

Transitioning? No, no. I can’t permit you to influence the children with this ridiculous behaviour. And so what from now on you want us to address you as—

-[Ms. Harper]

Ms. Harper. Correct. The kids really connect with me. I love my job and I’d really like to stay, but I need to be my most authentic self. I am a woman.

-[Ms. Daphne]

A woman? You hear this?

-[Principal]

Mr. Harper, you’re fired.

- [Kid eating glue]

Mmmm...

(Crybaby looks around the room, and spots another kid popping pills.)

-[Crybaby]

What are those?

-[Thomas]

He forces us to take these pills. Each colour is a different dosage. I’m on pink. It’s the lightest dose.

-[Crybaby]

Why is he forcing medication on everyone?

-[Thomas]

To control us. So we can’t leave.

-[Kelly, to Kid eating glue]

That’s f***ing disgusting!

(The clock ticks. Crybaby sighs, and then makes a phone appear and dials the Principal's office's number. The phone rings.)

[“THE PRINCIPAL”]

-[Ms. Daphne]

(Crying) Idiots! Save him!

(The scene shifts to a fourth grade class. Crybaby walks in late from the principal's office and closes the door. All eyes are on her, and she sits down. The teacher shows that it is show and tell day, and then opens a compartment to reveal a doll on strings. The students bang on their desks.)

[“SHOW AND TELL”]

(The students clap and cheer, then circle around the doll. Then the doll breaks, spilling its "guts" everywhere.)

-[Students]

Ew! Gross!

(Vacuum running)

(Cough)

(Wind)

(Sneeze)

[“NURSE’S OFFICE”]

-[Crybaby and Angelita]

Wait!

-[Angelita]

Why are you leaving us here?

-[Crybaby]

We need to come with you!

-[Lilith]

Continue on and live your truth. Do not hold fear in your heart.

-[Crybaby]

Please. We don’t want to die here.

-[Lilith]

You’ve had many bodies before this and you’ll continue to have more. You’re immortal.

-[Angelita]

But we’re exhausted!

-[Crybaby]

We don’t wanna feel this anymore!

-[Lilith]

We must feel the physical pain of this world because the only way that we can truly learn is through experience.

-[Crybaby]

Please!

(The scene changes.)

-[Angelita]

Oh no. I’m gonna be late for class.

-[Crybaby]

Who cares at this point?

-[Angelita]

True. I’m so exhausted.

-[Crybaby]

Same.

(The girls encounter a room that seems to have music playing in the room.)

-[Crybaby]

Do you hear that?

-[Angelita]

I do. I think it’s coming from over here.

-[Crybaby]

Should we check it out?

-[Angelita]

Yeah. Okay, count of three.

-[Together]

One, two, three!

(They open the door to reveal ghosts, dancing to the music playing. The ghosts don't notice them.)

-[Angelita]

Woah!

-[Crybaby]

Achoo!

(The music stops. The ghosts all turn to look at Crybaby and Angelita.)

-[Angelita]

H-hello. You all look ravishing.

-[Crybaby]

Bewitching even!

(The ghosts charge towards them. Angelita closes the door just in time, and the ghosts claw at the door.)

-[Crybaby]

We should get to class... bye.

-[Angelita]

Okay, see you later. Bye.

-[Mr. Cornwell]

Tragedy and comedy. Two sides of the same dramatic coin and we are going to be exploring both in this play. Even the latecomers.

(He nods to Crybaby as she walks in late.)

Alright, everyone, please turn to your scripts. Look to page two and find the roles to which you’ve been assigned.

-[Crybaby]

Right, so about that. Um, is it possible to get assigned a different role? Maybe one that’s not so domestic? Like a film director? Or the President of the United States!

-[Mr. Cornwell]

A harlot perhaps?

(He and the students laugh.)

-[Boy]

President? What a joke. Your kind are too soft and too sensitive to handle a man’s job.

-[Crybaby]

Having a larger capacity to feel and express emotion are one of the many qualities that make us superior to your kind.

[“DRAMA CLUB”]

-[Boy]

Ahhhhhh!!!

-[Crybaby]

You’re being brainwashed!

-[Mr. Cornwell]

What is this? What is she doing? Go get her. Go on!

-[Crybaby]

Can’t you see what’s happening? Open your f***ing eyes! Get off of me! Get off! Wake up!

[Continuation of “DRAMA CLUB”]

(Shovel scooping sounds)

(Crybaby and Angelita bury the Principal's body)

(Birds chirping)

(Panting)

(Sigh)

-[Crybaby]

Wanna go play tennis?

-[Angelita]

Ooh, yeah.

-[Celeste]

Finish first draft of ethics essay. A treatise on co-ed education. Boys are the problem.

-[Crybaby]

Celeste, wait up!

-[Celeste]

Oh, hey! Umm... Did you guys find a place to dump the principal?

-[Crybaby]

Yeah, just did it. Done deal.

-[Celeste]

Perfect.

-[Angelita]

Did you guys know there are actually two holes down there?

-[Celeste]

You didn’t know you had a butthole?

-[Angelita]

No, I mean in your vagina. There are two separate holes!

-[Crybaby]

Are you sure?

-[Angelita]

Mmhmm.

-[Crybaby]

I think I need to see a doctor.

-[Celeste]

Hey guys....?

-[Angelita]

Yeah, there’s your urethra and vagina.

-[Celeste]

You guys?

-[Crybaby]

Oh okay, got it. So, one hole that you can pee out of and the other one that you can—

-[Celeste]

Why does no one listen to me? Guys! The ball is floating away!

-[Crybaby]

Oh sh*t, the ball! I feel like we’re on the wrong way.

-[Angelita]

I swear, I just saw it.

(Lockers opening and closing)

[“STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE"]

-[Lilith]

What’s wrong, my dear?

-[Crybaby]

I just don’t want to do this anymore. I don’t want to feel this pain and I don’t want to be here on Earth. Please just take me with you. (sigh) I just want to be up there

-[Lilith]

The greatest power you will hold is that of acceptance. Any storm you face will transform itself into a crystalline rainbow. In divine timing.
