Lovestruck: The Musical Page #3

---

You know, for second cousins,

you and mirabella...

Yes? It's strange how

much you remind me of her.

This is so going to work.

Noelle, how many times

did you lose your virginity?

I have no idea, but hey,

If the stars align I might

lose it again this weekend.

( laughter )

Seriously though, em, you're so

lucky to have found a guy like marco.

He's so hot and rich...

And hot and rich! Hello!

Okay, mirabella,

it's your turn.

Oh, no.

Somebody else go.

But your story's so good.

Okay. She was 16 years old,

She told her mom she was spending

the weekend at a friend's house-

I'm that friend, that influence

- and instead,

We snuck off to paris!

What?!

I mean, wow.

And there,

after staying up all night

Walking the banks of the seine

hand in hand,

Talking until sunrise,

Whispering their life stories

to each other-

Noelle, no! You have

got to be kidding me.

Our dear, sweet,

innocent mirabella

Laid herself down with

that hot, sexy french man

And gave up her precious

flower. At sixteen?!

It was very romantic.

By the end of the night we

knew everything about each other

And we were like

two ships passing.

And he was really very sweet.

Wait a second.

How the heck did you get out of the

country without your mother knowing?

Her mom was at

an out-of-town preview.

Her dad gave us permission. We

told him it was a class trip.

My mom didn't even

notice I was gone.

Okay, that is not fair.

She's a very busy woman.

A single mom,

a demanding career-

Debbie, my mom is, was,

and always will be

Way too self-centered to think

about anybody but herself.

She took you to dance classes three

times a week when you were a kid.

Noelle:

What are you doing?

The sun is very bad

for your skin.

So, mirabella, tell me

about this french guy.

Did you think

you were in love with him?

Okay, uh, no. I mean, it

was a great experience,

But it wasn't like

how it is with marco.

Right. Marco.

The playboy prince.

I'm sorry. I just-

I read that.

He retired that title when he met

me. Besides, he's not a real prince.

( laughter )

but he is a real italian.

I wouldn't worry too much

about that, though.

Not every italian guy has

to have a mistress, right?

Right?

I'm not worried about it.

I knew marco was the right guy

right from the very beginning.

I made it through

the wilderness

somehow I made it through

didn't know

how lost I was

until I found you

I was beat

incomplete

I'd been had

I was sad and blue

but you made me feel

yeah, you made me feel

shiny and new

like a virgin

touched for

the very first time

like a virgin

when your heart beats

next to mine

gonna give you

all my love, boy

my fear is fading fast

been saving it all for you

'cause only love can last

you're so fine

and you're mine

make me strong

yeah, you make me bold

oh, your love thawed out

yeah, your love thawed out

what was scared and cold

like a virgin

touched for

the very first time

like a virgin

when your heart beats

next to mine

whoa, whoa, whoa-oh

whoa-whoa, whoa-oh

whoa-whoa-oh

like a virgin

touched for

the very first time

like a virgin

when your heart beats

next to mine

like a virgin

( cell phone rings )

Hello?

Harper?

Any good news, amanda?

Okay. Okay, okay.

The good news.

The trunk that the tonic

Was found in was owned

by some old vaudeville guy,

Tom dorian. Never heard

of him. Is that it?

And now the not-so-good news.

The investors found out about

mirabella leaving the show.

Oh, no! How?!

One of the dancers

Spilled, and it gets worse.

They're going to recast her.

They can't do that.

Yes,

They can. Look,

I told the investors

Mirabella'd be back

for rehearsal on Monday,

But if mirabella is not

back here for it,

They're going to replace her.

And you.

We don't need a new lead.

Mirabella is coming back.

( laughing )

whoo!

And they wouldn't dare

replace me.

Why am I scared?

Don't say anything to anybody.

Tell them I will

be back on Monday

With our star.

This wedding is

not going to happen.

I make it through

the wilderness

somehow

I made it through

I didn't know

how lost I was

until I found you

I was beat, incomplete

I'd been had,

I was sad and blue

but you made me feel

yeah, you made me feel

shiny and new

like a virgin

touched for...

The very first time

I- I can't believe

you just did that.

I can't believe

I just did that.

I've had too much to drink.

Oh, my gosh,

I am so sorry!

I don't know

what came over me!

Maybe it was the champagne

- no, no, no, you don't understand.

I swore I was through

with other women, for good.

Debbie, mirabella dared me to be a

better person, and I thought I could.

Because she believed in me

more than anyone has

In my entire life.

But now this?

I don't think I can be

the man she wants me to be,

Or the man she deserves.

I'm not good enough

for her. Right?

I'm sorry, debbie, this

isn't your fault. It's mine.

I have to go.

Oh! This is it.

Can you believe

I'm getting married tomorrow?

No, I really can't.

Debbie, what's wrong?

Nothing. Nothing.

I'm fine, it's just this is the first

time I've seen you in your dress.

It seems like just yesterday

you were a little girl.

We. We were little girls.

Dancing around

the back yard together,

Playing with

each other's hair...

This is the most beautiful

you've looked in your entire life.

Are you happy?

Yes!

How could I not be?

I'm getting everything

that I ever wanted.

But you're giving up your dream to

be a dancer to stay here with marco.

( laughs )

debbie.

Can I...

Can I tell you a secret?

I never wanted

to be a dancer.

That was my mom's dream,

not mine.

What? Never?

I mean, maybe for a little

while, when I was a kid.

I mean,

I worshipped my mother.

You remember, she was

this big glamorous star

And everyone loved her.

And I wanted to be

just like her...

For a while.

What happened?

I grew up.

I can't believe you never

said anything to your mom.

Well...

I didn't want

to disappoint her.

When my mom blew her knee out,

She wanted me

to be the big star that...

She couldn't be anymore.

And when I met marco,

I finally realized

I can't live my life for her,

No matter how much I love her.

It was like...

The first time

marco and I met,

I could hear this little voice

telling me,

"this guy's the one."

Ya know? Like...

The future was talking to me,

Telling me I had already

spent a whole lifetime with him.

Does that sound crazy?

No.

It's the most romantic

thing I've ever heard.

Woman:

Senorina mirabella?

Oh. You know, I forgot to thank you for

standing in for noelle today, debbie.

I-

I have no idea where

she could possibly be.

Debbie, where are you going?

See you at

the rehearsal dinner!

( speaks italian )

Scott:
Dude, you gotta

slow down. I can't keep up.

But wait a sec.

She said she kissed you?

Why are we freaking out

about this?

Because I didn't stop her-

and I should have.

I shouldn't have even put myself in a
