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...
