Dear Evan Hansen - Lines for Zoe

He's probably high

he's definitely high.

Fu** you

fu** you

That is not constructive

are you kidding?

"and watch it all crash and burn"

connor finished the milk

I better head out

if connor's not ready, im leaving without him

"is anybody waving back at me"

hey. i'm sorry about my brother. i saw him push you? he's a psychopath. Evan, right?

Evan?

thats your name...?

Oh. Yes. Evan. It's Evan. Sorry.

why are you sorry?

thats so annoying when people do that

i'm zoe.

no, i know

you know?

thats so weird, i'm sorry

you apologize a lot

you know what i mean

well i'll talk to you later

you don't want to sign my...?

what?

what? what did you say?

i didn't say anything. you said something

No way, José

um.. okay José.

Connor loved skiing

connor hated skiing

pretty much.

where?

he didnt always want to hang out, in person, you know?

we looked through his emails. there arent any from you

that was probably very confusing

why was it secret?

somebody had to be the bad guy

the weird thing is, the only time i ever saw you and my brother together was when he shoved you at school last week.

i um.. i tripped

i was there. i saw the whole thing. he pushed you, hard.

it was my fault

why didnt he want you to talk to him at school?

he thought i was was sort of... you know

a nerd?

zoe.

isn't that what you meant?

that wasn't very nice

well, connor wasn't very nice so that makes sense

he was a complicated person

no, connor was a bad person. there's a difference.

zoe, please

dont pretend like you dont agree with me

you refuse to remember any of the good things /

because there were no good things. what were the good things?

i dont want to have this conversation in front of our guest

what were the good things, mom? tell me.

i remember a lot of good things about connor

like what?

remember that, zoe?

yeah, i do

wouldn't we? mhmm

why are you here?

how was your first day back?

terrific. all of a sudden everyone wants to be my friend. im the dead kids sister didn't you know?

i bet they're happy to have you back huh?

you really don't have to do this, okay?

do what?

just because connor isnt here trying to punch through my door screaming at the top of his lungs that he's going to kill me for no reason— that doesn't mean that all of a sudden we're the fu**ing brady bunch.

i hope you're hungry... (scene change)

why are you in my brothers room?

i was just waiting for —

don't your parents get upset that you're here all the time?

well its not like i'm here all the time...

just two nights in a row

she works most nights. or she's in class

class for what?

legal stuff.

where's your dad?

your parents... they're really great

they can't stand each other. they fight all the time.

everyone's parents fight

my dads like, in total denial. he didnt even cry at the funeral.

gluten-free lasagna for dinner.. that sounds really..

inedible?

my mom and i just order pizza most nights

you're lucky you're allowed to eat pizza

you're not allowed to eat pizza?

we can now, i guess. my mom was buddhist last year so we weren't allowed to eat animal products.

she was buddhist last year, but not this year?

thats sort of what she does. she gets into different things. for a while it was pilates, then it was "the secret", then buddhism. now its free-range omnivores dilemma.. whatever.

it's cool that she's interested in so much different stuff

shes not. thats just what happens when you're rich and you don't have a job. you get crazy.

my mom always says it's better to be rich than poor

well your mom's probably never been rich then.

that was complete rude

wow. i didn't realize you were actually capable of saying something that wasn't nice.

im just, im really sorry

i was impressed. you're ruining it.

im sorry

you really don't have to keep saying that.

okay.

you want to say it again, dont you?

very much so, yes.

you're weird.

i know

... why did he write that? in his note..?

"because there's zoe. and all my hope is pinned on zoe. who i don't even know and who doesn't know me." Why would he write that? What does that even mean?

maybe if you were closer—

we weren't close. at all.

he wished that he was. he wanted to be.

so you and connor, you guys talked about me?

he thought you were... awesome

he thought i was awesome.. my brother.

definitely

how?

"if i could tell her"

you know the first time he ever said anything nice about me? in his note. a note he wrote to you. he couldn't even say it to me.

he wanted to.. he just... he couldnt

did he say anything else?

about you?

never mind i dont really care anyway

"when you put indigo streaks on your hair"

he did?

(evan kisses you)

what are you doing?

Dinners ready guys. Guys?

tell them to eat without me.

maybe jazz band could do something?

oh. yeah, maybe.

"you will be found"

everything you said in your speech. everything youve done. you dont know how much...what youve given...all of us, everyone. my family, me.

no... i... this is..

youve given me my brother back.

to donate all this stuff

mom says she's starting your show in five minutes with or without you

well, tell her im busy

with what?

evan's helping me go through my collection

dad, are you torturing him?

what?

evan, is he torturing you?

no. what?

you can tell him he's being boring and you want to leave. he wont be upset.

i dont want to leave

evan, do you want to leave?

i dont want to leave.!

okay,well. dont say i didnt warn you

(evans bedroom)

soo when does your mom get off work?

she wont be home for another few hours

we have the whole house to ourselves?

you know it

we should throw a kegger

we should definitely throw a kegger. for sure.

until your mom comes home

thank you, um, for coming

you realize ive been asking to come to your house for like.. weeks, and every time you've immediately said no.

i appreciate that you're here now.

what are all these?

she keeps printing out more of them

there are so many

tuition, housing, books...

your parents.., they cant?

not really

im sorry.

we have a really great strategy for raising more money for the orchard

we um.. can we talk?

oh shit.

what?

you're breaking up with me right? thats why you came over.

breaking up with you?

im not going to cry or start breaking things...

im not breaking up with you

thank you.

dont mention it

thats really great news

it's just, the connor project... i mean, it's great. but maybe we don't have to talk about my brother all the time. maybe we can talk about... other things.

i just thought maybe youd want to know

no, i know you did, but its just.. my whole life, everything has always been about connor. and right now, i just want... i need something for me. if this is going to be a relationship.. i dont want it to be about my brother. or the orchard. or the emails. i just want... you.

yeah. i know. you keep saying that

hey, jared. - hi.

look at you, helping the murphys.

what was that?

secret handshakes.. secret treehouses...

sorry we're late. band went long again.

im sorry, i didnt think to tell you.

hi. im zoe. its so nice to meet you finally.

did you know about this?

it was my idea.

how nice

Evan was showing me all of those scholarship contests that you found. that was really impressive. there are like a million.

my mistake.

speaking of scholarships...

maybe let it ring, zoe.

hello?

who is it? who is it / zoe?

have fun with your miserable life. bye.

whats the number?

its blocked.who cares?
