GSGoth Singer
Goin' down to South Park, gonna have myself a time!
MHMichael, Henrietta Biggle
Death and sadness everywhere, loneliness and degradation!
GSGoth Singer
Goin' down to South Park, gonna take my woes with me!
Nightmares every night, posers spouting "Let's go shopping!"
GSGoth Singer
Heading out to South Park, cause I cannot unwind!
I like spiders, loss and rain, I'm only happy when I'm in pain!
GSGoth Singer
So I'm goin' down to South Park... to die!
Ohh, but remember, Daddy wanted to talk to you in the living room, my dark little princess.
Stop calling me a princess. I'm not a beauty queen in a Disney movie!
We'll be waiting in the living room.
God, she just never stops!
BMr. Biggle
Have a seat, Henrietta.
Ooh, a little family chitchat.
BMr. Biggle
Henrietta, as you know, your mother and I have been concerned about your behavior for some time.
Are we really doing this again?
BMr. Biggle
We've had a hard time coping with the dark things you're into, but we've finally had some counseling, and apparently we're not the only parents who have a child that is... emo.
But Daddy and I love our little muffin, even if she's emo or not.
I'm not a fucking emo! Don't you even know the fucking diff?!
BMr. Biggle
Do you know how your foul language breaks your mother's heart?
Like calling Mommy, "Demon Jizz."
BMr. Biggle
So listen, sweetie, we've found a camp.
[Harriet brings out a brochure]
BMr. Biggle
A camp which is for troubled kids like you, and you get to work outside and learn about responsibility.
I'm not going to any fucking camp!
BMr. Biggle
It's for two weeks, and when you come back we can talk about earning back some of your privileges.
I won't come back because I'll be fucking dead. I'll walk out of that camp and I'll walk the streets until I probably get picked up and gang-banged by criminals until I'm bleeding out my fucking eyes!!
They have a horseshoe pit where you can challenge the other kids to horseshoes.
WWorker
All right now, you say that you witnessed your friend being abused by her parents.
Yes. They called her an emo.
WWorker
What's wrong with that?
Emos suck! Their vile, self-pitying, depressed assholes!
WWorker
So, why do you think they called her that?
Because she's Goth, and some ignorant people don't know the difference!
WWorker
What is the difference?
Oh my God! They're totally different!
WWorker
Okay, different how?
They're, you know, one is good and an' emos are horrible! [flips hair] You're, you know... They're posers!
Alright. alright, think of it this way: a goth believes that deep down the world is totally fucked up. But an emo thinks that deep down, they are totally fucked up.
WWorker
That's not much of a difference.
That's a huge fucking difference!
Okay. okay, look, emos are more prone to suicide.
But goths are more prone to be depressed that so many people commit suicide.
Goth's darkness is nihilistic whereas Emos is cynical.
Wait, I thought we were cynical. Whatever, it doesn't matter.
No, see, you're nihilistic.
[Pete, Michael and Firkle wait at a bus stop for Henrietta to arrive]
What if she comes back, and she's all preppy and conformist?
She's only been there two weeks. They can't have changed her that much. Can they have?
[the bus arrives and opens the doors; Henrietta appears]
What the hell have they done to you?
What do you mean? They couldn't do anything. They can't fix me. They don't even understand me. [walks away]
Oh, my God, it's worse than we thought! They made her emo!
What did they do you you? At that camp?
What do you mean? Just the usual group therapy crap.
Don't take this the wrong way, but I think that place turned you into an emo.
That's ridiculous. I'm not anything. I don't fit in anywhere. I'm not emo, okay?
Then why are you listening to Sunny Day Real Estate? I was thinking, maybe they just made you confused at that place. Maybe they didn't know what they were doing. But then I started thinking, maybe that place... turned you emo on purpose. Like maybe they knew what they were doing.
You should probably stop digging for answers.
There's no winning this for you. Soon the entire world will be emo. It is our time.
Nobody understands us. And they won't understand until it is far too late.
Oh my god no waaaaaaaaay.
Do not fight it, Michael. Is being emo really all that different from being goth? [in an evil deep voice] JOIN US!
No waaay! No way no waaaaaay!
RORingtone on Pete's phone
Death and despair! Death and despair! Death and despair! Death and desp-
[answers the phone] Hello?
It's worse than we thought.
No! I mean Henrietta. I confronted her and she was all like "I am emo! And emos are going to rule the world" and I was like "No waaay!" and she was like "Yeah, soon it will be too late." and I was all "No waaay!"
Yeah, so listen. Call up Firkle and meet me at Village Inn. I gotta run home but I'll be there in ten minutes. [makes it to his house in a flash, locks the front door, and starts to run upstairs]
MSMichael's Mother
Michael?! Michael!
[leaning over the rail] Can't now, Mom! I've got an emergency!
MSMichael's Father
In the dining room now, Michael, let's go. [Michael enters the dining room with his parents sitting at the table, holding hands] Have a seat, son. [Michael takes an opposite seat] Your mom and I have decided you're gonna go away for a little while.
MSMichael's Father
[holds up the same brochure Harriet held up two weeks earlier] We've been put in touch with this camp for troubled kids like you and--
What the hell are you talking about?
MSMichael's Mother
This place gonna fix you, make you normal child!
[Michael's Father takes him outside and towards the truck]
No! You gotta listen to me! You don't know what you're doing! You fucking conformists! [His dad puts him in the truck and starts to back up, he looks across the street and sees Henrietta with her four emo friends; gasps in horror] They're EVIL!!!!
[Biggle Residence; Henrietta's bedroom]
[cutting herself on her arm] Are you guys getting into that Fall Out Boy concert?
EGEmo Girl
[cutting herself on her arm as well] I can't. I'm too depressed. I keep cutting myself.
Yeah. I'm cutting myself to hurt this worthless body that I'm in.
[knocks on the door and opens it; holding a plate of cookies] Henrietta, I baked cookies for your new little Emo friends.
Not now, Mom! Can't you see I'm hurting?! I'm sorry I'm such a disappointment! Sorry I'm not the pretty cheerleader you always wanted!
[Harriet closes the door and goes down to the living room]
BMr. Biggle
Does she still seem better?
Oh, much better! She didn't call me a bitch, and she actually apologized to me.
BMr. Biggle
Well, that's more like it.
Alright, listen up. Once we find our friend, we've gotta torch the place and get out.
[coughs] Dude, Edgar, can you not smoke in the car?
Poe You can't tell me what to do! Who elected you the mayor of me?!
Pete Cut it out, Edgar! It's annoying everybody!
Poe God, you guys are so lame! And if you want my help, you'd better all stop calling me Edgar.
BVBlack Vamp
It is your name, isn't it?
PPoe
That's the name my stupid parents gave me! I like to be called by my Goth name: Night Pain.
PPoe
What? You guys are posers!
BVBlack Vamp
Hey, just so you all know, if one of you ain't who you say they is, and we get inside that base and you reveal you're actually one of them Emo motherfuckers in disguise, I WILL go crazy on yo' ass!
PPoe
If one of us is a traitor, it's probably your wannabe vampire leader.
So, my friends. Have you made the transformation?
Uh, Henrietta, we have some bad news. The plants you think took over your body and made you emo? They're just plants. From Lowe's Home and Garden.
It was all a prank by some douchey network reality show.
No. There's an organic spore in my head that made me switch cliques so easily.
No, you just kind of did it on your own.
Oh my God. This is so... embarrassing.
Ah, hang on. What I meant to say was we just infiltrated the Emo lair and... we torched the plant leader.
Oh. Oh! I'm, I'm-I'm me again! Oh my God, I'm all better. Thanks you guys.
[enters] Henrietta, I have dinner ready.
Shut up, Mom! Leave me alone, you conformist bag of demon jizz!
...Fatty. [closes the door]
