Promise

JASON
Promise...Webster's defines promise as
A declaration that something will or will not be done

IVY
Where have you been? Is this some stupid game?
I meant it when I said I need to talk to you

JASON
I understand, but Ivy, nothing's changed

IVY
You have no idea what I'm going through!

JASON
I'll say it one more time
I'm sorry I don't feel the same
We had ourselves a moment, but it's gone
My head's in thirty different places
Please, just try to understand
Let's leave things at that and just move on!

IVY
That night...We weren't safe!
So tell me how we move on!

JASON
I don't know what it is you want from me
I don't have time to hear whatever tale you've spun
I have to write this speech before tonight
Plus, there are all these scenes I have to run

IVY
You know what I am saying!
I would never make this up
You're a winner, pat your perfect back!
Way to go, you got me pregnant
Put that in your fucking speech!
They wanted real
Well god you'll give them that

JASON
Shit...Why are you doing this to me? Shit...

IVY
We're in this together...

JASON
I've got to pull together...

IVY
We'll take it one step at a time...

JASON
This is what I wanted?
Tell me, tell me what to do...

IVY
Somehow we'll get through..
Jason, I still love you
Someday maybe...

JASON
Love me?
Someday maybe you can learn...
Maybe you can...

JASON
Maybe I can...

IVY
Maybe you can...

IVY & JASON
Learn to love you/me too...

IVY
Maybe...please...

MATT
Maybe he would love you
Maybe if he weren't that way
He wouldn't treat your feelings like his toy!
Maybe make you feel real special
Like I always wanted to!
But he's already in love with a boy!

IVY
What?

PETER
Am I late?
What's going on?

NADIA
Jason, have you seen Ivy?
I guess you have

JASON
You knew?

NADIA
Only since this afternoon!

PETER
Knew what?

MATT
Ivy's pregnant and your boyfriend's a dad!
So what does that make you?

PETER
She's what...?
And what the fuck are you talking about 'my boyfriend?'

MATT
Don't play dumb with me, Peter!

JASON
Get the fuck outta here, Matt!

MATT
Should I tell them what I saw at the rave?
Look, I'm not here to judge, just keep everyone on the same page
And, hey, I think I found that strong opening
You were looking for in your speech

JASON
Whatever, Matt, whatever you saw, it was a rave !

MATT
Are you gonna stand there and deny it?
I know

JASON
Oh? You know, huh ? You fucking know ! What the fuck do you know ?

PETR
He knows, Jason...He knows because I told him…
It was after Ivy's birthday. We were drunk. I'm sorry...
No. You know what? I'm not.

IVY
What is it going on, Peter ? Jason, is he kidding ? Jason ?

JASON
Look... let just run this scene
If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this

JASON
Peter...

PETER
Don't…

JASON
Peter, I don't know understand what's happening
I don't know what to do, you have to help me!

PETER
I tried…

JASON
You know what, then ? Fuck you Peter ! Fuck you!

NADIA
Jason, I don't know what to tell you
Here's one idea
I'd rule out calling Dad
I've thought it through and I confess
I can't see through this mess
Maybe being single's not so bad
But you can solve this,
I know you can.
Don't forget that
Take my hand
Tell me what to do
What to say
Somehow we'll get through
We'll find a way

JASON
Yeah, thanks. I know...
Can you leave me alone ?
I don't mean to be rude...it's just...

NADIA
Sure, call me tonight, or tomorrow..
Or whenever, just call me...
