The Making of 'Cry Baby' Page #3

---

(boy #1) Is he here? Is he here?

(boy #2) I can't see anything.

That's him. Cry-Baby Walker.

[Sighing]

I'm sorry about this

afternoon, Mrs. Vernon-Williams.

Is Allison home?

'Cause, uh, I'm gonna sing tonight

and I thought she might like to hear me.

[Groans]

Mind your manners.

This is what we think

of your kind of music.

[Grunting]

How dare you hit him!

You don't own me, Baldwin.

I have the right to hear Cry-Baby sing.

Don't get all worked up, honey.

The punk got what he deserved.

[All gasping]

Come on.

Allison.

Get up. Go! Go! Go!

Hop on, honey.

Just one minute,

young lady...

I'll take good care of her,

Mrs. Vernon-Williams. I promise.

And it's okay about my face.

It don't hurt much.

Please.

It's not a school night,

and I have been a good girl.

Just one night of

happiness, that's all I ask.

But what if you get your dress dirty?

[Sighs] Thank you, Grandmother.

# Drinking beer in a cabaret #

##[I'm So Young by Students playing]

# I have a girlfriend #

# She says I'm her only one #

# We want to get married #

# But we're so young #

# So young #

# Can't marry no one #

# But we know our #

# heart's direction #

# So young #

# Can't marry no one ##

You okay?

I didn't get no axle

grease on you, did I?

No. No. I'm fine.

Been to Turkey Point before?

My Grandmother wouldn't let me.

She calls it the Redneck Riviera.

It's where I live. Beautiful, ain't it?

It's really wild.

But I'm... I'm afraid that

I'm not going to fit in here.

You know, with your friends and stuff.

You're cool, Allison.

You just look Square.

Underneath it all, I

think you're really hep.

Well, what have we here?

First Square to ever

set foot in Turkey Point.

Hey, fine mama.

Welcome to the Jukebox Jamboree.

These are the Cry-Baby

girls. That's Wanda.

Dig it, babe. You need a new look.

(Hatchet-face) Don't you got tits?

Stick them out, for God's sake.

That's Hatchet-Face.

She don't mean no harm.

First thing a Cry-Baby girl

learns, our bazooms are our weapons.

Now, Pepper's pregnant. But

she can fight like a man.

I wouldn't be caught

dead in a full skirt.

Hey, girls. What do you think?

Let's give Allison here a

bad-girl beauty makeover.

Are you game?

Sure.

Think I got what it takes?

[All whooping]

You got it, Allison.

You got it raw.

Hey, hey, hey!

Dig it, all you hep

cats and cool chicks.

You know me. Ramona Rickettes!

[Audience applauding]

Now let me introduce to

you the Cry-Baby combo,

Milton, Pepper, Wanda, Hatchet-Face.

[Audience cheering]

(both) Hi, Mom.

##[Band playing]

And now, the baddest baby of them all,

the man you came here for,

the big boo-hoo,

the terrible teardrop,

ladies and gentlemen,

my grandson, Cry-Baby!

[Audience cheering]

# Well, one for all and all for one #

# And all we want is to have some fun #

# But Squares, beware of our property #

# Yeah, if you're lookin' to

rumble, you're looking at me #

# 'Cause I'm the king #

# King cry-baby #

# 'Cause I'm the king #

# King cry-baby #

# Yeah, I'm the king #

# King cry-baby #

# A king cry-baby

with a tear in my eye #

[audience cheering]

# Baby cry, baby cry #

# Oh baby cry, oh baby

cry, oh baby cry, wow #

# Well, I was born on the

wrong side of the tracks #

# In the backseat of a stolen Cadillac #

# I had my first cigarette

before I could walk #

# And I was strummin' this

guitar before I could talk #

# 'Cause I'm the king #

# King cry-baby #

# Yeah, I'm the king #

# King cry-baby #

# Oh, I'm the king #

# King cry-baby #

# A king cry-baby

with a tear in my eye #

[all cheering]

# If you mess with the king,

you're gonna cry, oh baby cry #

# Oh baby cry, oh

baby cry, oh baby cry #

# Well, I'm a lonely

king who needs a queen #

# Yeah, you're the sweetest lump

of sugar that I've ever seen #

# Ain't got a ring or crown for you #

# Well, if I had your love #

# I'd lose these cry-baby blues #

# She's the queen #

Go on up there, honey.

Go on.

# She's the queen #

# Well, let people talk, I don't care #

# Let me prove to you daddy

that I ain't no Square #

# You'll be my queen

and I'll be your king #

# But if you leave my hive,

you're gonna feel my sting #

# 'Cause you're my queen #

# Queen cry-baby #

# You're the king #

# King cry-baby #

# I'll be the queen #

# Cry-cry baby #

# A king cry-baby with

a queen by my side #

# And if you mess with us, man

you're gonna cry, oh baby cry #

# Baby cry, baby cry, oh baby cry #

# Cry, baby cry, baby cry, baby cry #

# Cry, baby cry, baby cry, baby cry #

[audience applauding]

[Audience cheering]

##[Cherry by The Jive Bombers playing]

# Cherry #

Kiss me. Kiss me hard.

[Thunder clapping]

I've never given a French kiss before.

Watch. It's easy.

You just open your mouth,

and I open mine,

and we wiggle our tongues together.

And it feels real sexy.

I won't get mononucleosis, will I?

No, Allison. Just try it.

If you don't like it,

I promise I'll stop.

# I'll get you yet #

# Someday, Cherry #

# You'll be my pet #

# Right now #

# Cherry #

# The day is set ##

(boy) Break the window.

[Laughing]

I'm sorry, Allison.

It's just that you are so beautiful.

I want to let you, but I can't.

For my parents' sake.

Cry-Baby, they're both

dead. I'm an orphan.

I'm sorry, Allison.

No wonder we're together, honey.

I'm an orphan, too.

You are?

Yes.

And orphans have special needs.

Just on the outside of the

shirt, okay? Is it okay with you?

Yes. Oh, yes!

My parents were, they good

people and they... they loved me.

I want you. I need you.

I love you, too, Allison.

They had to go on a

business trip together.

It was their first airplane ride.

Oh, Cry-Baby, your

fingers feel so good.

I've been saving it up

for a girl like you, honey.

Mommy and Daddy took

separate planes for safety.

In case one plane crashed, I

would still have a living parent.

But, Cry-Baby, both planes crashed

and I never saw my parents alive again.

[Thunder cracking]

Goddamn! Lightning!

What's the matter, Cry-Baby?

Everything is the matter.

It's just a thunderstorm.

Heat lightning.

It's sexy.

It's not sexy. Electricity

makes me insane.

Why, Cry-Baby? Why?

Here's why. Electricity

killed my parents.

They died in the electric chair?

That's right, Allison.

My father was the Alphabet Bomber.

He may have been crazy,

but he was my pop.

The only one I ever had.

God. I read about the Alphabet Bomber.
