ANDY What are you doing? Let me go!
MIKE Now! I’m supposed to be on now! You’re going in!
ANDY They’re right there!
MIKE So what?! Tell them to get out of your way! Tell your friends to f##k their stupid-ass hookup plan, ‘cuz you have something important to do!
ANDY Let go of me!
He keeps pulling. She kicks his knee.
MIKE (letting go) Goddamnit!
ANDY (rushing away) You’re a bastard.
MIKE Why won’t you help me?
He pounds on the door.
MIKE (cont'd) Let me in! Heeeeeeelp! You’re going to ruin everything! HEEEELP! I’m locked out! ANYBODY!
No answer.
ANDY I’m sorry, Mike. I can’t do it.
MIKE Because of the mean girls.
ANDY Screw you.
MIKE Are they not going to speak to you? Are they gonna give you the cold shoulder? Are they gonna say you’re mean, and ruin everybody’s fun?
ANDY Go to hell!
MIKE Don’t you feel a little overdramatic? I’m going to be cut off from what I’ve bled for, for nine years, sacrificed over and over for, you’re going to ruin my life because your little friends want you to have sex with this boy and you’re too weak to figure out how to say no thankyou--
ANDY Shut up!
MIKE “Oh Adam, I can’t think of any reason not to go back to your room--”
ANDY Is that what you want? It isn’t my fault you’re stuck here! It’s your fault! And yes! I’d rather jump out a window and be locked overnight in an alley than do the guy who chalked my ID for me. I didn’t know I was supposed to be doing the guy with the chalk tonight, or I might have prepared a little better for having sex for the first time!
MIKE Andy, slow down--!
ANDY They’ll ruin my life! You have more to your life than what happens tonight! I don’t!
