Hannah, Paul and others in “Prom”

Hey, Paul.

Hmm?

There’s a girl you like.

I need a girl I like?

No, Bradley. You like every girl. That is the girl that I like.

But, Paul. You never got to do anything about it.

Oh, yeah? Why not?

Because you never do.

Okay then. Well, this time, watch this. (He comes to see her) Hi, how are ya?

Excuse me?

But… What? I…

Well, that went better than usual.

You gotta work on your technique, bro. I mean, watch me. Watch the master.

Hey. How are ya doing? You’re kinda good.

(speaking gibberish and slapping him with her book)

Boys, boys, boys, boys, boys! You want to know how it’s really done. Watch Rachel.

Me?

Yeah, you. You’re the world champion of flirting.

No, I’m not.

Yes, you are. Go on. Look around and tell us if there’s a boy you like. My boys, watch this and laugh.

Okay. First, she spots her victim.

(pointing to that boy) Well, he’s quite cute.

Then, she moves in for the kill.

The prey puts down his book.

He stretches unsuspectingly.

He turns round.

And slowly approaches.

The prey is snared.

Hi.

Hi.

I’m Sam. You’re Rachel, aren’t you?

Yeah. How did you know that?

I’ve seen you around at the beach, and at the cafe.

Oh, really?

Yeah. Listen. I was wondering. It’s my high school prom in a couple days, and I was wondering if you’d like to come with me.

Yeah. I’d love to. That would be great. Um, what should I wear?

Well, it’s quite formal, but I’m sure you’d look great in anything.

Thanks.

That’s outrageous! I’m glad I never behaved like that.

Me too.

Hey, aren’t you guys with the S Club 7?

Yeah.

I’ve seen you play at the beach and at the cafe.

Oh, really?

Oh.

Oh, right.

Hey, listen. I was wondering. It’s my high school prom in a couple days, and I was wondering if you guys like to play a few songs.

That’d be great.

Yeah. We… We’d love to.

So what should we wear?

I’m sure you guys look great in anything.

Aw.

You should’ve said that.

So, I’ll see you in a couple days.

Yeah.

Yeah.
