John Proctor is the Villain Midterm

Shelby's lines from John Proctor is the villain

Beth: No it’s great, I love it I want to write about it I, you’re the best teacher I’ve ever had.

*A half knock on the door

It’s Shelby*

Shelby: Hey… Sorry. Beth? I was just in the library? Are you still good/to—?

Beth: Oh no I’m so sorry I completely forgot!!!

Shelby: No that’s fine! We can do it another time/or something..?

Beth: I mean I’ve been having kind of a tough time with Ivy’s dad and everything? Sorry to/like—

Shelby: Yeah. No. Totally.

Beth: We were just talking about “Green Light”

Shelby: You mean the best song of all time?

Beth: Yeah like in conversation with The Great Gatsby!

Shelby: Naturally.

Beth: Wait oh my god do you remember the day it came out?

Shelby: Oh my god at your house?

Beth: Mr. Smith, last year when it came out we sat on my floor and played this song on repeat for literally like two hours straight just setting and listening

Shelby: Listening.

Beth: And then we had a dance party that got so intense Raelynn cried and Ivy almost threw up.

Shelby: Laughs

I forgot about that!

Beth: (a performative look toward an invisible horizon)

“Was anyone ever so young?”

Shelby: (smokes a fake cigarette)

“I am here to tell you that someone was.”

Beth: It’s just like a thing we do.. Sorry.

Shelby: It our little bit. It’s weird. We’re weird.

Beth: Shelby actually introduced me to her.

Shelby: Yeah. Beth isn’t the only one who reads. I think Walt Whitman probably said it best: I contain frickin’ multitudes.
