All Shook Up Dean Lines

SYLVIA: I am not! Oh, the lip on that girl. I can't believe she thinks I'm talking to myself. Kids got no respect nowadays, no res-... Dammit, I'm talkin' to myself.

Dean Hyde!

LORRAINE: What?

That's my name, Dean - Dean Hyde. You asked me before.

LORRAINE: Wow.

I just have to tell you something. Can I tell you something?

LORRAINE: I guess it depends what it is.

I think you're really, really, really pretty.

LORRAINE: Okay, you can tell me that.

I think you're really, really, really pretty. Okay, bye.

LORRAINE: Wait! You're leaving?

I have to meet my mother at 1500 hours.

LORRAINE: I think you should stay.

You really want me to?

LORRAINE: More than anything. By the way, Dean Hyde, have you ever been in love?

No. Have you?

LORRAINE: No, but I really want to be. And just think, Dean Hyde - you're the son of our mayor, and I was raised in honkey tonk, so our love would be a forbidden love. But that's okay - forbidden love is the best. Did you ever read Romeo and Juliet? Theirs was a forbidden love, and it's the dreamiest story ever.

How does it end?

LORRAINE: Not good. Wanna dance?

Are you crazy? Here, with everyone looking...

CHAD: Thank you kindly. Hey, don't you two make a sweet couple.

We're not a couple!

LORRAINE: C’mon, let’s dance —

But I don’t know how.

SYLVIA: THIS AIN’T ALL RIGHT WITH MAMA!
THIS AIN’T ALL RIGHT, THAT’S TRUE
GIRL, THAT BOY YOU’RE FOOLIN’ WITH
HE AINT NO GOOD FOR YOU!
AINT ALL RIGHT!

See ya!

MATILDA: Just as I feared. Oh, where's Dean? He should be here by now.

Sorry I'm late, Mom!

MATILDA: Oh there you are, my golden child!

Mom, why'd you want to see me?

MATILDA: Oh, Dean, I'm sending you back to the Stonewall Jackson Military Academy.

What?

MATILDA: You're all packed. I made cookies for the bus.

But I don't want to go back to Stonewall Jackson!

MATILDA: Now, now, there's nothing better for a child than a strict military upbringing. Isn't that right, Earl? That's enough, Earl.

But I just got here yesterday! Why do I have to leave?

MATILDA: Oh, Dean, an agitator has come to town...

Well I don't care, I'm not going!

MATILDA: Dean! You've never talked back to me in your life! Did you hear that, Earl? Not now, Earl. Oh Dean, you must leave immediately. Why if the rebel stays, who knows what you might be exposed to - sin - degradation - and, I can barely even say it, dating below your social class. Oh, goodbye, Dean! Momma's gonna miss you! Bye!

Excuse me, sir, how long till this bus leaves?

LORRAINE: Dean!

Lorraine! Thank goodness you're here!

LORRAINE: I've been looking all over for you!

Really?

LORRAINE: You left so suddenly -

Your mother scared me.

LORRAINE: Well, that's not the worst of it - she absolutely forbids us to be together!

And my mother would forbid it, too!

LORRAINE: And so would most people in this town!

And my school!

LORRAINE: And everyone in the world!

Oh, this is so hot! Oh Lorraine, I never thought I could feel this deeply for someone I pretty much met this morning.

LORRAINE: Tell me, Dean, have you ever kissed a girl?

Negative.
Wait, I can't! Oh, Lorraine, my mother's shipping me back to the barracks on that bus.

LORRAINE: What?!

Oh, Lorraine, have you ever disobeyed your mother?

LORRAINE: Every day.

Well, I've never disobeyed mine. I'm sorry, but duty calls.

LORRAINE: Will I ever see you again?

I'll be back next summer.

LORRAINE: I'll be going off to college then.

Gosh —

LORRAINE: And to think — we haven’t even kissed.

Well, you know what that means...

LORRAINE: IT'S NOW OR NEVER —
Dean —

Lorraine —

MATILDA: Citizens, good news! Sheriff Earl is now enforcing The Mamie Eisenhower Decency Act! Earl, look - public necking! Get 'em!

Mom!

MATILDA: You're not going anywhere!

Oh, yes, I am! I love Lorraine and I don't care what anyone says and look - I can dance now, Mom!

ALL: FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOU.

We'll run away...

LORRAINE: Are you sure?

We'll hide out where no one will ever find us - the old fairgrounds, then we'll leave on the morning bus. It's the only way we can be together...

SCENE 6: TUNNEL OF LOVE

Come on - we'll just wait here till the morning bus comes. We'll hide in the Tunnel of Love.

LORRAINE: Oh, how dreamy! Hey, I wonder what my mother will do when she wakes up and realizes I'm not there?

You're not changing your mind?

LORRAINE: No, I just bet she's gonna miss me.

You know the main reason my mother's lookin' for me? 'Cause she's afraid I'm gonna go AWOL from that stupid military academy.

LORRAINE: If you hate it so much, why does she make you go there?

My father was a war hero. Died before I was born. She wants me to grow up to be like him.

LORRAINE: And what do you want to grow up to be?

Happy. And you know what? For the first time, I am. Yeah, this is what happy must feel like - being with you.

LORRAINE: It's the roustabout!

What're you doin' here, roustabout?

CHAD: I just needed a private place to be alone with my pain. Look, you two can't leave...

You don't understand. We have to...

Actually, I haven't really thought about that —

Don't listen to him, Lorraine. We're going -

MATILDA: Earl, arrest him!

Stop! We're the ones you want to arrest!

MATILDA: EARL!

Oh, gross!

SYLVIA: You got my blessing, honey.

And Mom, is it okay for me to be with Lorraine?

MATILDA: Okay.

Oh, Lorraine!
