Lyrics:

ALEX: So this is nice.

SOPHIE: Yeah, wicked.

MICHAEL: Guys it’s fucking lame. Who knew these things were packed.

ALEX: It doesn’t matter, what are they doing in there that we can’t do out here?

SOPHIE: Alex is right. We can still feel the vibrations of the music, let’s dance.

They all awkwardly dance.

SOPHIE: Alex, could you get us some drinks?

ALEX: But I’m not thir…

SOPHIE: Get us some drinks! (alex leaves) Whoah, it’s getting a bit hot in here isn’t it Michael.

MICHAEL: I guess it’s rather warm.

SOPHIE: I mean… (seductively) You’re rather warm.

MICHAEL: You’re funny.

Alex returns.

ALEX: Drink up.

NARRATOR:
SO THEY HAD A COUPLE DRINKS
THEN THEY HAD A COUPLE MORE
THEN A FEW AFTER THAT

SOPHIE: (drunk) What I’m trinna say is, that if we don’t become more economically aware, mother Earth is gonna die.

ALEX: Bit heavy for a party eh Soph?

MICHAEL: The room is spinning ever so slightly right?

NARRATOR:
WITH SOME SHOTS DOWN THE HATCH
THEN A SECOND AND THIRD BATCH
THEY WERE OUT OF THERE MINDS

ALEX: I need to go pee pee.

MICHAEL: No one’s stopping you.

SOPHIE: Wait… Nah you can go.

ALEX: Dick.

Alex leaves.

SOPHIE: So… Do you think about me?

MICHAEL: How d’you mean?

SOPHIE: (with much inflection) You know.

MICHAEL: Go on.

SOPHIE: (with greater inflection)You know.

MICHAEL: (mimicking the inflection)No I don’t.

SOPHIE: I want you Michael. Surely you can see.

MICHAEL: I don’t think this is a good idea.

SOPHIE: Why not?

Alex comes back.

ALEX: What did I miss?

Michael leaves to go upstairs.

ALEX: Sophie? Where’s Michael going?

SOPHIE: You were right? He doesn’t love me.

ALEX: I’m Sorry Soph.

SOPHIE: I wanna go home.

ALEX: Look, you’re in no state to go home, go upstairs and rest.

SOPHIE: Are you asking me to have sex with you?

ALEX: I don’t think I quite said…

SOPHIE: Shuush.

Sophie takes Alex upstairs to a bedroom.

SOPHIE:
LET’S GO TO BED
LET’S GO TO BED

ALEX: You’re drunk.

SOPHIE (With force):
LET’S GO TO BED
LET’S GO TO BED

ALEX:
I THNIK YOU SHOULD SLEEP HERE INSTEAD

SOPHIE:
WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM?
GET IN THIS BED
OR IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME?

ALEX:
LOOK YOU’RE JUST UPSET
TRY NOT TO DWELL ON THAT MAN, MICHAEL

Sophie kisses Alex for a long time.

SOPHIE:
YOU AND ME ARE SO VERY DIFFERENT BUT
I CAN SEE US WORKING IN LOVE
US, YES WE, ARE MEANT FOR EACHOTHER SO
WE SHOULD BE TOGETHER TONIGHT

SO CAN YOU TAKE MY HAND
AND HOLD IT TO YOU
PLEASE UNDERSTAND
MY FEELINGS ARE TRUE
FOR YOU

ALEX:
LOOK, YOU’RE DRUNK

SOPHIE:
DRINK DOESN’T AFFECT ME THAT MUCH

ALEX:
I’M SURE, LET’S SAY WE BE FRIENDS

SOPHIE:
MOST GUYS WOULD JUMP AT THE CHANCE TO HAVE SOMEONE LIKE ME
EASY

ALEX: Sorry.

Sophie passes out, leaving Alex to be free to leave. He goes next door and finds Michael dazed and looking up at the ceiling. Alex finds courage from God.

ALEX:
HELP
LORD JUST PLEASE GIVE ME SOME HELP
CAN I JUST ASK?
GIVE IT A TRY?
WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?
JUST FOLLOW THROUGH
