[0:32] Chass: What are you doing in the coat check room?
[0:34] Jendrix: I'm hiding, and the coat check room seemed safe.
[0:37] Chass: Where the heck have you been?
[0:39] Jendrix: Sorry, I was in the courtyard with a new friend.
[0:42] Chass: You're my date.
[0:44] Jendrix: I realize you're on your own gender sexuality journey, but a date is a date.
[0:48] Chass: Who are you dancing with?
[0:50] Jendrix: Before you ran out of the prom and out on me.
[0:52] Chass: I was having um a moment.
[0:55] Jendrix: Who was he?
[0:56] Chass: A boy.
[0:56] Jendrix: I didn't want to make too many assumptions, but yeah, I saw.
[1:00] Chass: Let me guess.
[1:01] Jendrix: You're in love.
[1:02] Chass: Maybe.
[1:03] Jendrix: Great.
[1:04] Chass: Friggin' great.
[1:06] Jendrix: Boys fall in love so damn quickly.
[1:09] Chass: Why is that?
[1:10] Jendrix: Don't shrug at me.
[1:12] Chass: What?
[1:12] Jendrix: I met a boy I liked and we talked.
[1:14] Chass: I talked to a boy once, and look at me.
[1:17] Jendrix: And the maternity prom dress looks good.
[1:19] Chass: Are people talking about me and they're just running out?
[1:22] Jendrix: No offense, but there's this pregnant girl, aka me, who people are mocking.
[1:28] Chass: You were beautifully perfectly invisible.
[1:31] Jendrix: Wait, you think invisibility is better than being seen?
[1:34] Chass: Yes.
[1:40] Jendrix: Come on, it's not that bad.
[1:42] Chass: Are you freaking kidding me?
[1:48] Jendrix: I could feel him gawking.
[1:50] Chass: Like, why is she here?
[1:51] Jendrix: Faces like my god, see her waddle.
[1:54] Chass: Should she be here?
[1:56] Jendrix: Like they're all saints and virgins like the 50s had some mad resurgence.
[2:02] Chass: I went on the dance floor.
[2:04] Jendrix: The seas they parted.
[2:06] Chass: Friendly eyes went dead.
[2:07] Jendrix: People fled like someone farted.
[2:10] Chass: Danced in my tent like ball gown.
[2:13] Jendrix: Tried to see my hip, then slip.
[2:16] Chass: I fall down.
[2:17] Jendrix: I'm pregnant at a prom.
[2:19] Chass: And yeah, it's real now.
[2:21] Jendrix: A cliché that there's no way I can conceal now.
[2:25] Chass: Then I look to find you there.
[2:28] Jendrix: You weren't anywhere.
[2:29] Chass: My lungs went out of air.
[2:31] Jendrix: I thought I died.
[2:35] Chass: I'm so sorry.
[2:37] Jendrix: I looked for you in the hallway by the punch table, and then I found myself somewhere worse.
[2:42] Chass: Much, much worse.
[2:44] Jendrix: The ladies' room.
[2:48] Chass: Ladies' rooms are vicious.
[2:50] Jendrix: You ever been there?
[2:51] Chass: Girls don't just want fun.
[2:53] Jendrix: It's a jungle sitting in there.
[2:56] Chass: I'm hiding while some unseen girls sounded like a scene I'd seen.
[3:01] Jendrix: And mean girls, I could hear them laughing.
[3:04] Chass: She'll have to drop out.
[3:06] Jendrix: Better yet, then they bet when it would pop out.
[3:10] Chass: Shouted out, hey, I'm trying, but my words got stopped.
[3:15] Jendrix: Cause I'm crying.
[3:17] Chass: I read it at a promise.
[3:19] Jendrix: They succeeded.
[3:21] Chass: I'm now, I guess, an object lesson to be heated.
[3:25] Jendrix: I sat inside the cell.
[3:27] Chass: I cursed them on and all I curled into a bowl and prayed I die.
[3:39] Jendrix: No, there's a life inside me.
[3:43] Chass: You're a survivor girl show them your inner Beyoncé and thrive and if you're in pain just do what you're doing said to do and push just push just push push trail So if you'll take my hand I'll catch the drama be so chill that it thrill the Dalai Lama And let's show 'em how it's done be giants on the dance floor strutting defiance on display shading everyone with Mad Side IR heads so high um will of course let's go to the dance floor and dance we got this wait it should be me going in with you.
[3:43] Zeke: Hi, how long have you been in there?
[3:43] Chass: Oh, I volunteered to do coat check when you ran in I hid behind these actually kind of enormous coats look I'm sorry people were mean to you and I know tons of your real friends are here to support you it doesn't feel like that.
[5:24] Zeke: I am giving her up for adoption and going off to college, and the sweet talking dumb jock is not gonna be a part of that picture.
[5:30] Zeke: What are you doing here?
[5:30] Chass: Well, that's a lot of mixed messages.
[5:32] Chass: You said you weren't going to come to the prom.
[5:32] Zeke: How is that mixed messages?
[5:34] Chass: Should I go?
[5:35] Zeke: Well, I want to do right by you.
[5:35] Zeke: Jazz, I'm here.
[5:36] Chass: By the baby.
[5:36] Chass: I bought a ticket for myself and everything.
[5:39] Zeke: Give me one dance, please.
[5:41] Chass: Then we can go to the roof.
[5:43] Zeke: My buddy Kyle says there's space up there to mess around.
[5:46] Chass: I'm eight months pregnant and you want to mess around?
[5:48] Zeke: Look at me.
[5:49] Chass: Oh, I love how you look.
[5:51] Zeke: What are you gonna do after school?
[5:54] Chass: Whatever you need.
[5:55] Zeke: Uh my dad says I can be a plumber like him.
[5:57] Chass: I make a good living.
[5:58] Zeke: Not part of the plan.
[5:59] Chass: Why not?
[6:00] Zeke: I told you three months ago.
[6:02] Chass: Being the plumber's baby mama is not part of my plan.
[6:06] Zeke: Well, that's classist!
[6:08] Chass: Gendrix taught me that word.
[6:09] Zeke: You're hanging out with my friends now?
[6:11] Chass: Gendrix!
[6:12] Zeke: Hey, I need more straight male friends in my life.
[6:15] Chass: Traitor!
[6:17] Zeke: Fine, go.
[6:18] Chass: I need time alone with Zeke.
[6:20] Zeke: Okay.
[6:21] Chass: Bye, Zeke.
[6:24] Zeke: Gendrix is cool.
[6:25] Chass: Don't be mad at him.
[6:26] Zeke: And he loves you.
[6:28] Chass: Who are you?
[6:29] Zeke: I'm the dad of your kid.
[6:32] Chass: Go home.
[6:33] Zeke: You're softening, I can tell.
[6:36] Chass: Hey, look, I heard what you said about going back into the dance with him, head held high, and he's great, but it should be me.
[6:44] Zeke: And you know what should I think you're amazing.
[6:49] Chass: I am not softening.
[6:51] Zeke: I just I just wish her toilet hadn't flooded eight months ago.
[6:57] Chass: Then my dad would have never hired you to fix it, and this never would have happened.
[7:02] Zeke: I remember the day the pipes all burst.
[7:06] Chass: Love flowed out so fine, so unrehearsed.
[7:10] Zeke: Now you say we're through, and it's the worst.
[7:16] Chass: Baby, don't forsake me.
[7:19] Zeke: Tonight is for romance.
[7:23] Chass: You say go home, don't make me.
[7:27] Zeke: I love you so, so won't you take me into the dance?
[7:35] Chass: Take me in, give a chance to me, baby.
[7:40] Zeke: Take me into the prom.
[7:42] Chass: Take me in, future mama, my child.
[7:46] Zeke: Go home.
[7:48] Chass: Cause my love you can't kill it.
[7:50] Zeke: Yeah, you're my fertility god.
[7:55] Chass: Are we two are a pair?
[7:57] Zeke: Yeah, the proof's riding there.
[7:59] Chass: Come on, girl.
[8:01] Zeke: You are driving me wild.
[8:02] Chass: Yeah, you make me hot.
[8:04] Zeke: Blood in my basement gets flooded with near you.
[8:10] Chass: Yeah, my girl, here's the point.
[8:12] Zeke: We're a well sought to join.
[8:14] Chass: Water tide.
[8:17] Zeke: Plus, my arm needs some candy, like Danny and Sandy were dead.
[8:24] Chass: So, girl, if I'm allowed to be part of your crowd, I will work to be worthy tonight.
[8:32] Zeke: Take me into the dance.
[8:34] Chass: Take me in, give a chance to me, baby.
[8:38] Zeke: What do you think?
[8:39] Chass: Take me into the prom.
[8:41] Zeke: You're the best, you're the bomb, you're so bad.
[8:45] Chass: Like a ball baby back.
[8:47] Zeke: Cause I love you, you can't kill it.
[8:49] Chass: Yeah, you're my fertility guy.
[8:53] Zeke: But I conceived.
[8:54] Chass: And I promised you, lady, that after the dance, if you give me a chance, I will answer the call because after tonight.
[9:05] Zeke: I swear I'll do right by our baby.
[9:11] Chass: Here's the ring that's the proof.
[9:13] Zeke: Come on, babe, raise the roof and be mine.
[9:19] Chass: And tomorrow we'll judge into town to a judge out of finish.
[9:27] Zeke: And we'll roll us the dice, and they'll throw us some rice.
[9:32] Chass: We'll be blessed by the angels divine.
[9:36] Zeke: Chastity Glomowitz.
[9:40] Chass: Will you say you'll be my love for wedded a while?
[9:47] Zeke: I said, please, baby, be my lawful.
[9:50] Chass: Are you freaking kidding?
[9:52] Zeke: You wanna marry?
[9:54] Chass: This is like the prom where you're Tommy and I carry.
[9:58] Zeke: Don't you think you could sneak in that if you could spring a ring?
[10:03] Chass: I weaken a pregnancy, but that doesn't mean I'm stupid.
[10:09] Zeke: And the baby call me isn't baby cupid.
[10:12] Chass: Listen, cheese.
[10:14] Zeke: Hurry right along, I'll enter as I said.
[10:18] Chass: Solo centering on me, my spirits growing strong.
[10:23] Zeke: Ironclad, have you got that?
[10:26] Chass: You're not the dad!
[10:28] Zeke: What?
[10:29] Chass: Okay, you are the dad.
[10:31] Zeke: Fine.
[10:33] Chass: But I do want to give it up for adoption, and so this is all beside the point.
[10:38] Zeke: It's your choice, I know, but if you keep it, I'm here for you and the baby.
[10:43] Chass: You really wanna be a dad?
[10:45] Zeke: I am a dad.
[10:46] Chass: Okay.
[10:48] Zeke: We'll talk about this at the hospital.
[10:51] Chass: Hospital?
[10:52] Zeke: My water just broke.
[10:54] Chass: Really?
[10:55] Zeke: Really?
[10:56] Chass: Okay, I'll call an ambulance.
[10:58] Zeke: Yeah, let's do that.
[10:59] Chass: Oh my god, it's really happening.
[11:00] Zeke: Shh, it's really happening.
[11:02] Chass: Well, I just realized I am so not ready to be a dad.
[11:06] Zeke: You're right about adoption.
[11:07] Chass: I really am.
[11:08] Zeke: But still.
[11:09] Chass: What?
[11:10] Zeke: This summer, when no one is looking, will you go out with me again?
[11:17] Chass: Maybe.
[11:18] Zeke: And someday we'll sit and remember that day your water burst.
[11:25] Chass: Love flowed out so fine, so unrehearsed.
[11:31] Zeke: What interemercy.
