Prom Night Page #3

Oh, he's just someone I'm looking for.

He dangerous?

Do me a favor, why don't you make

copies of that, give it to your staff.

- Let me know if anyone sees him.

- Will do.

You got exits here.

How many exits you got?

- Two outside fire stairwells.

- Let me see that. Yep.

There's the loading dock in the back.

Stairwell from the basement.

Three fire exits lit up on the ground floor,

in the main entrance.

- Can I keep this?

- It's all yours.

Okay, great. Thank you very much.

Should I be concerned?

No.

All right, folks.

You looking real good out there tonight.

But what I'm gonna do is,

I'm gonna slow it down just a little bit,

because I don't want you

to sweat out your good clothes.

On your way to the dance floor, though,

fellas, grab your girl

and thank your man Ronnie out there.

Ronnie Heflin is sending this song

out to his girl, Lisa Hines.

So, we gonna get that busy right now.

Here you go, folks.

You wanna dance?

What's going on?

I'm thinking about going to State

with you next year.

Why?

I don't know.

I guess I just don't think I'm ready

to be so far away from home.

If we were at State together,

then we'd get to see each other all the time.

I mean, if you wanted to.

No, I would love that.

I mean, I would. I mean, you know I would.

It would be amazing.

But?

But nothing, Donna.

You got into Brown with a full scholarship.

I mean, you don't just throw that away

for anything, or anybody.

It's not that I don't want

to be near you next year.

It's just that...

That would be really selfish of me.

And I'd always know in the back of my head

that I was the reason

that you didn't get a big-time

lvy League shot at the world, you know?

But what if this long distance thing

doesn't work out?

I mean, look what's happening

with Michael and Claire.

And Claire's gonna be only a two hour drive

away from him next year.

Claire and Michael are not you and me.

Not even close.

Right?

What is it?

I'm scared.

It just feels like

everything's falling apart.

And I'm scared of losing you.

I'm scared that somebody else

is gonna come along

and find out how amazing you are.

If this is real, it'll last.

I think we've been through some

pretty rough times already, don't you think?

- Yeah.

- Donna, you gotta stop being scared, okay?

Because there's nothing left to be scared of.

I promise.

Hey, you guys seen Claire lately?

Yeah. She's up in the suite.

What the hell is she doing up there?

You pissed her off, Michael.

She's been crying her eyes out.

You can't keep doing this to her.

You're gonna lose her.

Yeah, I doubt that.

Claire and Michael, exhibit A.

Nothing like us.

- I love you.

- I love you, too.

Claire?

Claire?

Are you here?

Are you in there?

Come on, babe.

Look, I don't want to fight anymore, okay?

Honestly, I promise. I'm gonna stop

bugging you about going away and all.

I'm just gonna deal with it, okay?

I swear to God.

Claire, please, don't do this.

All right. Fine.

I'm just gonna sit out here.

I'm just gonna wait for you to come out.

I don't care how long it takes.

I got all damn night.

All right.

Claire,

what do you want me to say?

You want me to say that I'm sorry?

Okay. Okay, I'm sorry.

Claire, look, I really am sorry, Claire.

Look, don't let my being an idiot

ruin our prom, okay?

Okay? Claire?

All right, where'd you go?

Claire?

Gotcha!

But I already said I was sorry.

What else do you want me to say, huh?

This is getting silly. Enough already.

Claire?

Hey, what's up?

I did not know you partied like that

here at Bridgeport!

Man, you done wore me out up here!

I tell you what though, I'm gonna take me

a little 15-minute break.

But while I'm gone,

the AV department put together

a nice little yearbook for you, so enjoy that.

And when I come back, this year's

prom king and prom queen, all right?

See you in a minute.

Hey, let's go upstairs.

They're gonna announce king and queen.

DJ's taking a break, and then he's gonna

come back and play a couple other songs.

You don't care about this at all, do you?

What's to care about?

What if Ronnie wins king instead of you?

What if he does?

He's her boyfriend.

I have to be crowned with her boyfriend?

Look, Ronnie's the starting quarterback.

All-city two years in a row.

Yeah, Crissy, you could do a lot worse.

Besides, maybe you won't even win.

All right, look, I'm gonna go upstairs,

just call me when it's time, okay?

If he were any dumber I'd have to water him.

I wanna make a toast

to my little queen.

No matter what happens.

Cheers.

If that b*tch wins, I swear

I'll hurl.

Okay, I'm sorry, but just explain to me

why do you care so much?

Because what do you get?

You get like a bouquet of roses and

a tacky tiara you can only wear at proms.

It's not about what you get.

It's, like, about the honor, you know?

It's about the respect of my peers.

- What?

- Your peers?

- That's the geekiest thing you've ever said.

- Okay, I guess it was a little geeky.

But seriously, I just want Crissy to know

that she can't buy everything.

And think about the reunions to come.

If I win, it'll eat away at her

till the day she dies.

That's awful.

You're so sexy

when you're mean and vindictive.

All right.

How's it going?

Yeah, well, so far so good.

Anything your end?

No.

Which one is she?

She's the blonde, at the back table.

She's pretty.

And alive. And I want her to stay that way.

Guys.

This is it.

This is all ending, this time of our lives.

You know, everyone always says that

prom is supposed to be this amazing time

that everyone looks forward to

since the beginning of freshman year.

But no one ever tells you

it's really sad, you know?

Because some of us are never

gonna see each other again.

- Except for us!

- Oh, thank you.

We'll see each other all the time.

Well, I don't know about any of them, but...

I'm sure gonna miss you guys.

Ronnie, I'm gonna be 100 miles away.

I'm not going too far.

And I'll be home on the holidays.

And Claire's only gonna be two hours away.

- Where is Claire?

- Oh, yeah.

- Where's Michael?

- Maybe they're still in the suite.

Where we should be.

All right, stop.

You know what,

we're gonna give you guys some space.

- Yeah, we'll be right back.

- I think that's a good idea.

Come on, Maria. Where are you? Maria?

Are you there?

Hello?

Hey, Simms, come here.

Have you seen Maria?

and I'm trying to get her on her walkie,

but she doesn't answer.

I've got this for 304.

I'll check and see if she's there.

All right, thanks.

- Great, thanks.

- Thank you.

Evening, sir.

Maria?

Excuse me, sir?

Yes.

Did you happen to see

the housekeeper up here?

She's right here in my room.

Turning down the bed.

Thank you.

Maria?

Hey, yo, Bobby, let me talk to you for a sec.

Me and Lisa are gonna head up to the suite,

see what's taking

Michael and Claire so long. All right?

Right. Just make it quick, all right?

Five minutes, max.

Is that all?
