STUDENTS
We're doing time in confession
It's a sacrament of oppression
We have no need for forgiveness
Because our shit's none of his business
TANYA
I got so high I fainted
ALAN
Sometimes I don't recycle
ZACK
I finally nailed my girlfriend
LUCAS
I took some extra Nyquil
KYRA
I blinked and it was over
DIANE
I swear with all my might
STUDENTS
I'll sin no more, I'm sorry Lord
We're doing time in confession
It's a poor man's therapy session
We have no need for forgiveness
Because our shit's none of his business
Hell no, our shit's none of his business
ZACH
Where does the 'Glory Be' go?
TANYA
He gave me nine 'Hail Mary's
KYRA
Will you need five 'Our Father's?
ALAN
This is so arbitrary
DIANE
I don't think that God intended confession to be scary
STUDENTS
Say that you'll forgive me, Lord
We're doing time in confession
Where we're working out some aggression
We have no need for forgiveness
Because our shit's none of his business
Hell no, our shit's none of his business
PETER & MATT
Father...
PETER
Can the church be wrong?
MATT
Can a sin be right?
PETER
If it's something that you feel
MATT
Something that you saw?
BOTH
Goes against the law, what do you do?
MATT
Do you tell?
BOTH
What do I follow?
PRIEST
The church's teachings come from centuries of study
Questions of doctrine are best left to greater minds than yours
This is not to say the church is never wrong
But if you hold to her creed you'll never find yourself let down
Is there anything else, son?
PETER & MATT
No, father
PETER
Hear my voice
MATT
Did you really hear me?
IVY
Hear my voice
KYRA
I don't think you see me
MATT & NADIA
Did you think you know me?
ZACH
Did you really hear me?
DIANE & RORY
Would you really know me?
ALAN
Do you think you see me?
ALAN, RORY, ZACH & DIANE
Hear my voice
PETER
If I ever told you...
If I ever told you...
If I ever told you...
SISTER CHANTELLE
Ok, let's just try to put yesterday's rehearsal behind us. New day, new attitude. Three, four...
CHOIR
Two households, both alike in dignity
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene
SISTER CHANTELLE
People, your first note is a C-natural, ain't nothing natural about what you're singing!
CHOIR
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean
SISTER CHANTELLE
That's it. There is bad, and then there's whatever y'all're doing. Have mercy! Go practice somewhere I can't hear you.
IVY
Sister Chantelle, I did some sketches. You know, like, for the poster or the program.
SISTER CHANTELLE
Uh-huh.
JASON
Hey, that looks great.
IVY
Oh, thanks.
NADIA
Bathroom stalls don't lie, she's good with her hands.
