More Than Survive Reprise
Suddenly, it's morning. Adrien bolts up in bed. Looks around. Did that really just happen?... He taps his head
Adrien: Hello? Are you guys on? Hellooo?
A knocking sound effect is heard. Ivan calls out
Ivan: Jeremy? Are you talking to yourself?
Adrien: I... Guess I am. Huh.
He shrugs, then reaches for his computer
C-C-C-C'MON, C-C-C-C'MON, GO—
He reaches for his computer... and the electric shock sound effect plays
Adrien: Ow!
Nathaniel and Marc step out from behind the bed. Both are now wearing blue circuit board shirts (Marc has a tank top), black pants, and black leather boots
Marc: What did we say about that?
Adrien: I was just going to...check my email.
Marc: You can't lie to us, Jeremy. We’re inside your brain. Now, we’re going to devise a system. We will tally every time you think about sex, and that's how many push-ups you do.
Nathaniel: If this morning is an indicative sample, you'll have pecs in no time.
Ivan enters, still not wearing pants
Ivan: Coming through, private.
Nathaniel: ... That's the source of your genetic material?
Adrien: That's my dad, yeah.
Nathaniel: … We should double those push-ups.
Adrien puts on the Eminem shirt. The students line up their chairs again
Adrien:
STILL NOT GONNA BE THE COOL GUY
BUT MAYBE NOT SO LEFT OUT
OF ALL THE CHARACTERS AT SCHOOL
I MIGHT BE THE ONE WHO THE STORY'S ABOUT
NOW THAT SOMEONE'S HELPING ME OUT
Adrien arrives at school, where he runs into Aurore, Myléne, and Alya. They wave. Dazed, Adrien turns, and bumps into—
Alix: Yo, tall-ass! Where's my money?
Adrien: Crap, what do I tell Alix?
Nathaniel: Up up down down left right A.
Alix experiences a jolt
Alix: You got one!
Adrien: Yeah. Sorry, I meant to go through you but— Don't hit me!
Alix: Jeremy! This is awesome! I mean, I coulda used the money. Things are kinda rough at home, if you know what I'm sayin'...
Marc places his hand on Adrien’s shoulder. Adrien’s response comes out as robotic
Adrien: Yeah...my dad...drinks too?
He looks at Marc, like: where did that come from? Alix grins
Alix: Yo, fucking dads, right?! He usually passes out by nine, you should come over, play Xbox. You know with a squip, the only controller you need...is your mind?
She moves on, but Adrien hangs back to talk to Nathaniel and Marc
Adrien: What was that about?
Nathaniel: We synced with her squip. Now her desires are compatible with your own.
Adrien: And that makes her act like we're friends?
Marc: What is friendship but a bond between two people? Now you and Rachel have a bond. It's just digital.
Adrien: Wow...
Adrien notices Nino walking across the stage. He waves
Adrien: Hey! Mich-
A row of lockers suddenly move in front of Nino. Adrien looks confused
Adrien: I... I thought I saw-
Marc: Jeremy, let’s go.
NOW GET READY TO MORE THAN SURVIVE
Students:
NA NA NA!
NA NA NA!
Adrien:
MORE THAN SURVIVE!
MORE THAN SURVIVE!
ALL AND ALL A NOT TOO HEINOUS DAY!
Students:
HEY HEY HEY!
Nino appears again, and tries to get Adrien’s attention, but the students sing over him
Adrien: I WALK THE HALL WITH PURPOSE AS I SWAGGER ON MY WAY!
Students:
HEY HEY HEY!
Adrien: I'M FEELING CRISP AND HIGH AND ALIVE!
AND HEAD TO DRAMA PRACTICE WITH CHRISTINE!
