Anti-prom lines

DIPSH: Hey man, what’s up?

I’m sick.

DIPSH: Dang. Isn’t today the day you were gonna—

Yes.

DIPSH: You better get well soon, Max, before someone steals your chick.

What?! Who?

DIPSH: Some guy I don’t recognize. I’ll look out and let you know if he asks her.

Yeah, okay. Thanks.

Start of scene 2

I can’t believe I missed my chance with Liz.

RUDY: You did? When?

Rudy, I was gone for a week. She’s got another date. You didn’t know?

DIPSH: I guess I thought if you were gonna go to anything it’d be senior prom.

MAX: So you’re going, Dipsh? Cause I don’t remember you getting a date.

RUDY: My dear friend. A date means getting laid. Getting laid is the only thing that could make spending that much money to dance and eat ***** food worth it.

And without a date who would you even hang out with?

Opening of scene 3

Maybe Steinbeck had a point when he said “A little love is like a little wine. Too much of either will make a man sick.”

RUDY: Ugh, you’re talking about that book again?

Tortilla Flat. And yes. You don’t get it, Rudy, you have to read it.

DIPSH: No man, its not any old classic.

It’s about these guys that have such close friendships they’re like brothers, you know? And its not all sappy, they hookup with girls and buy gallons of wine that they drink out of jelly jars, and-

RUDY: Okay, I get it.

They smoke cigars on the beach! They’re basically us, if you think about it.

RUDY: When have we ever done these things?

We haven’t, but they’re the kind of things we would do. Dipsh, you were just saying you related to Pilon.

DIPSH: … You’re very Danny-like

Exactly! And Rudy could be Pablo!

DIPSH: Pablo. He’s chill.

And their lives are like ours. They’re growing up and going their separate ways.

RUDY: Don’t talk about that, man.

But we are, aren’t we? You’re working, I’m leaving for school-

DIPSH: I’ll be here.

You’ll be at the community college, though. It won’t be the same.

DIPSH: Hey, that’s Dipsh to you.

You can’t have my copy though. I need it. It’s got all my annotations.

RUDY: Nerd alert!

Hey! Screw you man. (something dondon him) I know what we’re gonna do instead of prom.

Act 2 begins

Hey man! Welcome into Jesus Maria.

DIPSH: You assigned the car a character too?

It felt fitting.

RUDY: Alright, time for the Anti-Prom!

Buckle up, Pilon and Pablo. We got a beautiful day ahead.

RUDY: It’s a bummer you dropped the ball on Liz, Max. You missed out.

Ha ha ha.

RUDY: Oh yeah?

Good luck… You guys done?

RUDY: No promises. “This is indeed living,” after all.

You DID read it!

RUDY: You lookin’ for a round two?

This is perfect, actually.

(grab paint + brushes)

We have to leave our mark here.

DIPSH: I don’t want to leave.

Me neither.

RUDY: Sure. Yeah. That.

You read the whole book, didn’t you?
