Drew
I know what bait will draw in the clowns.
Drew
Think about it. We’re outcasts.
Drew
The clowns want to get revenge on everyone who snubbed them.
Drew
That means the popular kids.
Ariel
What’s that supposed to mean?
Drew
You’re the most beautiful girl in school.
Drew
You’re our best chance to lure the clowns!
Drew
They won’t be able to resist the opportunity to bring you down.
Ariel
So what are you suggesting exactly??
Ariel
I just lie down and let them gas me?
Drew
We put you at the top of Splash Mountain.
Drew
You can climb up the maintenance ladder and stand above the waterfall.
Drew
The clowns will try to surround you by standing under the net.
Drew
And we’ll cut the net and trap them.
Ariel
How will they know I’m there?
Drew
Because I’ll tell them.
Drew
They still think I’m one of them, remember?
Drew
We’ll have to cut the net on both sides at EXACTLY the same time.
Drew
Otherwise it won’t fall fast enough…
Drew
and the clowns will scatter.
Ariel
How will you cut both sides of the net at the same time?
Drew
With the help of your best friend ☺
Ariel
OMG I forgot about Lauren!
Drew
She’s right here next to me. She’ll be perfect.
Ariel
I don’t want you to put her in any more danger ☹
Drew
Lauren can handle it.
Drew
If she can handle a sculpting knife, she can cut through a rope.
Ariel
Since when did you know Lauren sculpts?
Ariel
I thought that was her secret hobby.
Drew
I told you…I’m quiet.
Drew
We don’t have time to waste, Ariel.
Ariel
I’ll meet you at Splash Mountain.
Ariel
Are you sure you’re okay with Drew’s plan?
Lauren
I don’t trust him.
Lauren
How do we know he’s not just luring both of us into a trap?
Ariel
You don’t have to trust him.
Ariel
But you trust me, right?
Ariel
How far are you guys from Splash Mountain?
Lauren
Not far now. I can see the waterfall.
Ariel
I don’t see clowns anywhere.
Ariel
Just disfigured people.
Ariel
Although you can barely tell the difference…
Lauren
Drew just sent out a group text to the clowns.
Lauren
They’re all on their way to the waterfall.
Lauren
Drew and I are splitting up.
Lauren
When we’re in position, he’ll give me the signal.
Lauren
Just make sure you’re at the top of that waterfall where everyone can see you.
Ariel
I had no idea so many people hated me.
Lauren
It’s not you. It’s what you represent.
Ariel
Drew? I’m at the bottom of the waterfall.
Drew
Great. Walk behind the waterfall.
Drew
Between the falling water and the rock wall...
Drew
It’s the maintenance entrance.
Drew
It should be unlocked.
Drew
Get up the stairs FAST. The clowns are coming.
Drew
None of them want to miss this.
Ariel
I’m climbing up as fast as I can.
Ariel
It’s a girl, about my age.
Ariel
She’s wearing a deformed clown mask…and crying.
Ariel
She’s curled up in a ball on the steps…and rocking back and forth.
Ariel
And whispering the word…
Ariel
over and over and over…
Ariel
I think she’s lost her mind.
Drew
Don’t waste time. Get up there now!
Drew
We need to be perfectly synchronized…
Drew
Or our plan will fail.
Drew
I can’t get in touch with Lauren.
Ariel
Don’t worry, she’ll follow through.
Drew
Is that you? I think I see you!
Ariel
I’m standing on the rock ledge, overlooking the falls.
Ariel
I can see everything. The whole carnival is on fire.
Ariel
People are running wild, crying, screaming.
Drew
Just focus. We’ll get through this.
Ariel
Drew, in case this doesn’t work…
Ariel
I want you to know something.
Drew
The plan will work. I promise.
Ariel
I just want to apologize.
Ariel
I know I make a big deal of getting the perfect photo.
Ariel
But it’s only because I want to remember the times we have together.
Ariel
I never realized that taking photos of you, of your face, might make you feel insecure…
Ariel
Or come across as superficial…
Ariel
But Drew, I love you exactly the way you are.
Ariel
And I think your beauty is the best kind.
Drew
Are you reading me??
Drew
I’ve changed my mind.
Drew
I’m cutting the net, like I told her I would.
Drew
You have to help me.
Drew
Lauren, are you ready?
Drew
All the clowns are below us!
Drew
We can change the plan!
Drew
We have to save her.
Lauren
But it’s too late.
Ariel
Drew isn’t replying to me!
Ariel
Are you guys okay??
Lauren
Remember freshman year, at Homecoming?
Lauren
You went with some football player…
Lauren
And I was serving drinks.
Ariel
But I thought you stayed home that year?
Lauren
One of the student helpers called in sick, so I came to fill in.
Ariel
What is this about Lauren?
Lauren
And I saw you walking by the table, and just as I was about to say hi…
Lauren
“Aren’t you friends with Lauren B.?”
Lauren
And do you remember what you said?
Ariel
I don’t remember any of this…
Lauren
Like I was disgusting to you.
Ariel
You know I didn’t mean that…
Lauren
Ari, you’re lucky you know.
Lauren
Somebody like me has to sculpt with wet clay for days to create something beautiful.
Lauren
You were just born that way.
Lauren
And what do you do with your beauty?
Lauren
You just post photo after photo.
Lauren
I think you need to learn what it’s like for the rest of us.
Ariel
That was you in the stairwell…
Ariel
You were waiting for me to climb up here.
Ariel
You’ve been part of this all along!
Lauren
Ugly people like Drew and me, we have to stick together.
Ariel
This was never a trap for the clowns.
Ariel
It was a trap for me.
Lauren
Look down there, at the clowns.
Lauren
See all the pretty lights?
Lauren
Those are cameras.
Lauren
You know what to do when you see a camera…
Lauren
Look right into the lens…
Ariel
Cut the ropalskejsrlkj
Drew
I can’t, Ariel! I’m only on one side!
Drew
Lauren, did you push her?
Drew
I just saw a girl fall off the waterfall!
Drew
But I thought I saw you…
Ariel
It wasn’t me. It was Lauren.
Ariel
She told me everything.
Ariel
You planned this all along, didn’t you?
Drew
She came up with the idea to dress up like clowns…
Drew
To disfigure people and reveal their true nature.
Drew
But in the end, it was all about you.
Drew
I should never have gone along with it.
Drew
I just wanted you to look a little more like me…
Drew
Because then, maybe…
Drew
I would be worthy of you.
Drew
But I got it all wrong. Oh god, what did I do??
Drew
I’m so glad you’re safe, and still beautiful.
Drew
The police just got here!
Drew
How did Lauren fall?? What happened?!
Ariel
She was climbing up the rock toward me…
Ariel
Preparing to gas me all over.
Ariel
But just as she pressed the nozzle on the canister…
Ariel
It was just as you were cutting the net.
Ariel
She managed to grab hold of the net as it fell to one side.
Ariel
I can see her right now…dangling there.
Ariel
But as she slipped…she kept her finger pressed down on the canister...
Ariel
And the gas hit the side of my face.
Ariel
Now I have a mark on my cheek…
Drew
Ariel, I’m so sorry.
Ariel
I almost believed you Drew.
Ariel
You know everything I said was true.
Drew
I was telling the truth too. I never felt like I deserved you.
Drew
But I listened. And I believe you now.
Drew
I want us to be together.
Ariel
I can see the police lights. They’re going to arrest you, and Lauren too.
Drew
I don’t care about that. I only care about you.
Ariel
That’s what I used to think.
Ariel
Drew, you were always worthy of me.
Ariel
But tonight, you revealed your true self.
Drew
No more lies. Only truth.
Drew
Now that you look like me, there’s no more hiding for either of us.
Drew
We can be the perfect couple.
Ariel
But you’re ugly to me now.
