AGGAGAGA I SUNG THIS FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL AFTER QUARTINE LEGIT

[KIDS:]
Freak! S**t! Burnout! Bug-eyes! Poser! Lard-ass!

[VERONICA:]
We were so tiny, happy and shiny
Playing tag and getting chased

[KIDS:]
Freak! S**t! Loser! Shortbus!

[VERONICA:]
Singing and clapping, laughing and napping
Baking cookies, eating paste

[KIDS:]
Bull-dyke! Stuck-up! Hunchback!

[VERONICA:]
Then we got bigger, that was the trigger
Like the Huns invading Rome

Oh, Sorry!

Welcome to my school, this ain't no high school:
This is the Thunderdome

Hold your breath and count the days, we're graduating soon

ok then

KIDS]
White trash!

[VERONICA]
College will be paradise, if I'm not dead by June!

But I know, I know, life can be beautiful
I pray, I pray for a better way
If we changed back then, we could change again
We can be beautiful...

[A PREPPY STUD knocks a HIPSTER DORK to the floor.]

[HIPSTER DORK, spoken]
Ow!

[VERONICA, sung]
Just not today

(spoken)
Hey, are you okay?

[HIPSTER DORK, spoken]
Get away, nerd

[VERONICA, spoken]
Oh, okay

[KIDS, sung]
Freak! S**t! Cripple! Homo! Homo! Homo!

[VERONICA]
Things will get better soon as my letter
Comes from Harvard, Duke, or Brown
Wake from this coma, take my diploma
Then I can blow this town
Dream of ivy-covered walls and smoky French cafés

[VERONICA jostles RAM SWEENEY.]

[RAM, spoken]
Watch it!

[VERONICA]
Fight the urge to strike a match and set this dump ablaze!

[RAM upends VERONICA'S lunch tray.]

[RAM, spoken]
Ooooops

[VERONICA, spoken]
Ram Sweeney. Third year as linebacker and eighth year of smacking lunch trays and being a huge dick

[RAM, spoken]
What did you say to me, skank?

[VERONICA, spoken]
Aah, nothing!

[sung, (KIDS)]
But I know, I know...
I know, I know...
Life can be beautiful
Beautiful
I pray, I pray
I pray, I pray
For a better way
For a better way
We were kind before;
(Oooh...)
We can be kind once more
(Oooh...)
We can be beautiful..,
(Oooh... Beautiful...)

[MARTHA approaches.]

[VERONICA, spoken]
Agh!... Hey Martha

[MARTHA, spoken]
Hey

[MARTHA helps VERONICA pick up her tray.]

[VERONICA, spoken]
Martha Dunnstock. My best friend since diapers

[MARTHA, spoken]
We on for movie night?

[VERONICA, spoken]
Yeah, you're on Jiffy Pop detail

[MARTHA, spoken]
I rented "The Princess Bride."

[VERONICA, spoken]
Ho-ho-ho, again? Wait, don't you have it memorized by now?

[MARTHA, spoken]
What can I say? I'm a sucker for a happy ending

[KURT, spoken]
Martha Dumptruck! Wide load! Honnnnnk!

[KURT KELLY knocks the tray from MARTHA'S hands.]

[KURT, spoken]
Hahaaa!

[VERONICA, spoken]
Kurt Kelly. Quarterback. He is the smartest guy on the football team. Which is kind of like being the tallest dwarf

[KURT, spoken]
Haha! Alriiight!

[VERONICA, spoken (furious, to KURT)]
Hey! Pick that up! Right now!

[KURT, spoken]
I'm sorry, are you actually talking to me?

[VERONICA, spoken]
Yes, I am. I wanna know what gives you the right to pick on my friend. You're a high school has-been waiting to happen. A future gas station attendant

[KURT, spoken]
...You have a zit right there...

[KURT and KIDS laugh]

[VERONICA, spoken]
Dear diary:

(sung)
Why....

[HIPSTER DORK]
Why do they hate me?

[REPUBLICAN GIRL]
Why don’t I fight back?

[KURT]
Why do I act like such a creep?

[VERONICA]
Why…

[MARTHA]
Why won’t he date me?

[RAM]
Why did I hit him?

[STONER CHICK, MS. FLEMING & BLOW-DRIED PREPPY]
Why do I cry myself to sleep?

[VERONICA]
Why…

[KIDS]
Somebody hug me!
Somebody fix me!
Somebody save me!

[KIDS & VERONICA]
Send me a sign, God!
Give me some hope, here!
Something to live for!

[The three HEATHERS enter.]

[KIDS]
Ahh! Heather, Heather, and Heather!

[VERONICA, spoken]
And then there's the Heathers. They float above it all

[KIDS]
I love Heather, Heather, and Heather
