- Okay, so it's gotta be something kind of new,

not some play that's been done to death.

- Yeah, they're the only ones I know.

- Just because our school

has a million copies of "The Crucible"

does not mean we have to do it.

- Abigail!!

- Burn me at the stake so I never have to read it again!

- Anyone got a lighter?

- [Beth] We're just trying to think of a play

that doesn't suck.

- What about your short story?

(Beth gasps) - No way.

- What story? - Oh, it was so good.

- It'd be perfect. - Yes.

- Okay.

- It's about a ballerina who falls in love with a werewolf,

but is also moonlighting as a werewolf killer.

- Naturally.

- I don't even really like it.

I was just bored.

- No, it was so good in English.

- Wolfeo, Wolfeo, wherefore art thou?

(all laugh)

- Wait, is that a real line?

- Oh, we can make it really gory, like, super violent,

werewolf attacks and her slaying them.

Oh, fake blood everywhere.

(all laugh)

- What?

♪ 'Cause everybody knows ♪

♪ That I just can help myself when I'm with you ♪

♪ So brand new ♪

♪ 'Cause everybody knows ♪

- I have to change some stuff to make it work as a play.

- Do you wanna rework it tonight?

- What if it's a whole ballerina posse,

pussy riot in a cathedral vibe?

- I mean, yeah.

- I could do a lot with movement.

- I bet you can. - I can.

- I know, ballerinas are super flexible.

- Oh, careful, don't make me slay you.

(both laugh)

I did ballet when I was younger.

- (chuckles) Right.

- The werewolf's father is a fascist dictator, right?

We make it clear that he's supposed to be

one of the teachers.

- What?

- He leads a pack of werewolves,

and has to be in control of everything,

it's all about him.

- We still have to get the teachers to let us use the hall,

so I doubt blatantly suggesting

they're a fascist dictatorship is gonna work.

- Yeah, I mean the whole point isn't to get the school...

- You two did not take long to become one person, did you?

- Look, if we're gonna use this idea,

can we just keep it simple, just the two leads.

- Not sure who would wanna watch that.

Canteen?

- We should probably get started on booking the hall.

- Isn't that your job?

- But why? - I've told you,

the senior leadership committee all decided

that theater reductions are more trouble than they're worth,

especially after last year.

- Then make it a one off.

- Why on Earth would we want to do that?

- It's a part of my education.

- Oh, read a textbook.

Try that.

- Hardly think it's the same though, is it?

- Well, it'll have to do.

- But Ms. O'Brien said- - It's out of my hands.

Now.

- How you doing?

Um, I just, I heard you're playing a gig this weekend,

solo, I mean.

- Yeah, it should be a good crowd.

Bit older. - What's the set?

- Debuting some originals. - Sick.

- Yeah, it's gotten some pretty solid feedback online,

some pro groups that I'm involved in, so it's a big deal.

- That's awesome.

- I know.

- Well maybe I'll, you know, come check it out.

- It's not your scene.

- I thought you'd like some friends in the audience

at least.

- Look, we're not anything, okay, so just leave it.

- You okay?

- Same old, same old.

(children chattering)

(guitar chord resounds)

- New material?

- The old song sucked.

- Dunno about that. - Yeah,

well you're just gonna have to wait until the weekend

to hear them like everyone else.

- Yeah, maybe.

Kind of need a favor.

- I'm out of weed. - No, with your dad.

- He doesn't have any either. - Funny.

He has a lot to do with

managing the school's facilities though.

- So talk to him then.

- I've tried, he said he was too busy.

- I know the feeling.

- Why do you have to be like this?

- Like what?

- An absolute prick to everyone.

Like I know you're in a weird situation with Florence,

but what did I do?

- Good lecture. - Come on,

everyone's helping out,

they're all working really hard.

Beth, Daisy, Leo.

- I don't care.

- Fine.

Enjoy playing with yourself.

- Wait.

(kids chattering)

- Kerri and Beth are putting on a play,

they wanna use the hall?

- Oh, hi, how you doing?

- It's in like two weeks.

- Okay.

- Is that a yes?

- We can talk about this.

- Dad.

- Look, there hasn't been a school drama group here

for quite some time for very good reason.

- What's it to you?

- [Graham] It's a lot of work for starters.

- Yeah, that Keri and Beth wanna do.

- It takes more than two students to put on a production.

- Then I'll help.

- Really?

- Extracurricular activities

require supervision from a teacher.

- Isn't that your area of expertise?

- We have a hall.

- Oh my God, that's amazing.

You're amazing.

Oh yeah, found a costume.

- That's really something.

- It's perfect.

- Uh, I was thinking about the whole werewolf idea.

- Hmm, what about it?

- Do we really think it works?

Like don't you think it's a little overdone?

It's been werewolf's and vampires

in every big book

and movie since we were little.

- No, it hasn't.

- Do I have to say the T word?

Twi..

- Oh, okay, no, no, please.

- Please tell me you weren't as obsessed with it

as Daisy was.

- No, I watched it too early and had nightmares.

- Also, ballerinas and werewolves,

do they really work together as a concept?

Like how would they even cross paths?

- Um, ask Daisy, she wrote it.

- Someone should.

- Well Georgie likes it.

- I mean I do too.

I'm just playing devil's advocate.

Oh, hairy.

- I know, right?

(Beth imitates animal growl)

- If I'm directing,

can I just cast you now?

- What if there's someone better?

- Impossible.

(Beth laughs)

- Um, hello?

- Sorry.

- You weren't kidding, a werewolf and a ballerina?

- No, it's actually really cool.

It's like a fantasy take

on the classic Romeo and Juliet tragic love story.

It's really smart concept.

- Genius.

- Hey, what do they teach us in English,

where you see the world not how it is but how you are?

- Wow, I've missed those insights.

- Don't.

- It kind of looks like a dog

taking a piss on a pole.

- Wade.

- Leo drew it. - It legit does.

- Okay, quit playing art critic

and hand these out.

- Since when did I volunteer?

- In your dad's office.

- No good deed.

- [Daisy] Oh, do you think he could do the soundtrack?

- Ooh. - Oh yeah.

- Pretty busy at the moment.

(lips smacking)

- What was that for?

- Thanks for like all your help.

- Anytime.

- You wanna come to mine?

- Sure.

- To work on the play.

- 100%.

- It's just that we've actually

had quite a few people apply,

and we gotta figure out what scenes to send them,

all that jazz.

- And the admin work begins.

- You don't have to do it.

- No, no, no, it's fine, it's fine.

I just, I kind of have a shift at the cafe.

- That's cool.

Maybe Georgie can help.

- Can't you just do it by yourself?

- I don't know, I'm not good at making decisions.

- Okay, I will get out of it.

- [Ruby] Not in a million years.

- Yeah, obviously, we'd all be dead.

Come on, I just need to

get stuff for the play up and running.

- Piece of advice, take no for an answer.

- It's for a good reason.

- Yeah, next thing I know

you're gonna be telling me you're sick.

- Actually I've been feeling like

pretty run down recently.

- Wow.

With acting skills like those

play's gonna be amazing.

- I'm not in it.

- You're seriously gonna leave me

to do the whole shift by myself?

- Forget it.

(upbeat music)

- [Georgie] Why didn't she just call in sick?

- [Beth] She's not a liar.

- [Georgie] No, she's an idiot.

Sorry, I didn't mean that.

- [Beth] Didn't you?

- [Georgie] Who volunteers to put on a play

if they don't have time around their part time job?

- [Beth] Well not everyone's parents are so-

- [Georgie] Hey, my parents both work,

we're allowed to have nice things.

- [Beth] I never said you weren't.

- It's just a bit weird,

she's never shown any interest

in putting on a play before.

- First time for everything.

- She's just trying to impress you.

- You think?

- Yeah, it's pathetic.

- No, she's trying to do something nice.

- Trying a little bit too hard.

Couldn't she just take you out or something?

- You're just jealous because you didn't

come up with the idea first.

- I'm not.

- Oh, what, so you're not sick

of getting picked for anything either?

- No.

You've gotta wonder like why she's so insecure.

What?

- Things are just going faster than I thought they would.

- Faster?

Right. (laughs)

- I don't know, I shouldn't have said anything.

- No, well if you can't tell me who can you tell?

- No one, it's between me and Kerri.

- Come on, Beth.

(children yelling)

- My God, he would be perfect for it.

- Yeah, he would be pretty good,

but I don't think Johnny Depp does high school productions.

- Yeah but he would be so- - Hey.

- Hi.

- You're not up yet.

- I can read a schedule, thanks.

I'm gonna watch.

- Why?

- You could use my input.

- Thank you.

Are you nervous?

- Um, not really.

I'm feeling pretty good.

I think-

- Wolfeo, you're everything I loved,

everything I wanted, feared.

- You're scared of wolves?

- I used to be.

- And now?

- And now I long for the night.

(gentle music)

(Daisy howls)

(gentle music)

I added that bit.

- I noticed.

- You sure you wanna audition?

- How hard could it be?

- Yo.

- You're early.

- Yeah, I've got a music lesson soon, so...

- Uh, do you mind, Leo?

- Guess not.

(gentle music)

- How can I believe anything you say now?

- This whole time I've been falling in love with you.

- [Kerri] Don't say it.

- You've been hunting me.

- Why can't we tell the world?

- They wouldn't understand.

(gentle music)

- Stand back.

- Why?

- It's not safe for you here.

If I unleash the spell,

you'll all be banished forever, into the other world.

- Okay, thanks Georgie, I think we've seen enough.

- I memorized another page.

(gentle music)

- Let her.

- [Kerri] Sure.

- Okay, let me just.

Stand back.

It's not safe for you here.

If I unleash the spell...

- Maybe it's just too hard to find someone

who can do it all, act, sing, dance.

- Or any of the above.

- You did ballet, right?

You could be my werewolf.

- Absolutely not.

My mom forced me to do it for like five minutes

when I was five.

It was so embarrassing.

And all I remember is just fighting with her

whenever she tried to get me into the car.

Never again.

But didn't you say that the werewolf

only had to dance at the last bit of the show?

- Yeah.

- [Beth] Well then why don't you just teach someone?

It shouldn't take long.

- True.

- I know, don't think I'm getting the werewolf,

but, uh-

- Cast announcements.

Cast announce...

Wade?

- Right here.

- Thank you.

Okay, starting from the top,

the ballerina/werewolf slayer goes to Beth.

- Shocker.

- Do you know the word nepotism?

- She was best for the part.

- And she's great at ballet.

- I'm okay.

- So who's gonna be the werewolf?

- Serious?

Yeah, no, cool.

- Um, Leo, if possible could we maybe use you

for the creative stuff, the set, the lighting, the props?

- Yeah.

And the music?

- I'm doing that too.

- Well actually maybe you guys can work together?

(kids chattering)

- [Daisy] Great, I'm out.

- Seriously?

There are tons of supporting roles.

- Like two lines which you added.

It shouldn't even be in it.

- Well can we still use your story?

- Do whatever you want.

- You're not actually upset, are you?

Daisy?

- Why would you make Wade the werewolf?

- Well he was the best person.

- I think you'll find

he's basically the worst person at the moment.

- Whoa.

- He's been so lousy to Leo, you have no idea.

And this story was supposed to be about,

I don't know, self acceptance,

and Wade is a million miles from that.

- Do you want me to give him the...

- You've read all the way through?

- Yeah.

- You know the ballerina and the werewolf kiss at the end.

- So?

- Wouldn't be the first time is all.

- Beth and Wade?

- Mm.

Just hope Wade doesn't pull his classic move.

- What's that, the stage dive?

- Hooking up with anyone he touches.

(kids chattering)

- You wanna hang out tonight?

We can go to the skate park,

I can teach you how to-

- [Beth] I mean I would, but-

- But?

- Wade's gonna come over,

and we're gonna read some pages.

- Can I read them?

I'm the director and I've only

read the audition scenes.

- Well it's still a work in progress.

I mean Wade's not gonna read that much either.

- Don't wanna overwhelm his brain.

- I just need him to read a bit in character

so I can, you know, work on the werewolf.

- What's his story?

- What do you mean?

- Well, we have to teach Wade some ballet moves, right?

So what moves do we have to teach him?

Do the werewolf and ballerina

need to be close to each other at any point or...?

What?

- There's a kiss.

- Oh, no, that's cool.

It's not what I was- - It's no big deal.

It's just a play.

It's just for the story.

Anyway, a kiss doesn't feel the same unless it's real.

See?

- That's, no, that's not what I was...

I was just wanting to know about the staging.

It's...

Nevermind.

- Good.

(birds chirping)

- If you're wanting a lift,

I've got another half hour to go.

- [Wade] Take as long as you like.

- Then what?

- I'm staying back to help with the play,

you probably don't remember.

- I remember very clearly you twisting my arm

in front of a student.

I thought we had an agreement about stuff like that.

- We used to have agreements about lots of things.

- You talking about Meredith now?

This personal stuff's got nothing to do-

- Whatever.

- So what, you're a, you're a performer now?

- What's it to you?

- I seem to remember you telling me

you were too busy to try out for footy team.

- I am.

- Well, uh, up to you if you wanna

go play dress up.

Thought you hated fake stuff.

- Pretty much.

(birds chirping)

- I didn't know it was you, I promise.

- How can I believe anything you say now?

- Um, yeah, does it feel a bit,

I don't know, melodramatic?

- Well, I mean it's called drama, right?

- Yeah, yeah, I guess.

- Beth, do you know if the store is open?

- Uh yeah, yeah it is.

- Cool.

- Um, I'm gonna go get some water.

Wade?

- Yeah, filtered stuff.

- I didn't know you were still here.

- Okay.

- What I heard sounded pretty good.

- I don't know.

- You're on stage all the time anyway, right?

- Yeah, I mean it's singing,

this is acting and dancing, I've never done that before.

- I've seen you dance.

- (chuckles) You've seen me mosh.

- (laughs) Well if you suck I'll just

turn the stage lights down,

and no one will know.

- I appreciate it.

What are you doing here?

- Uh, well I'm just decorating.

This wall is way too white,

so unless you like the minimalist vibe.

- [Wade] It is very minimalist.

- Yeah, it's not really what Kerri wants,

so I'm gonna go raid the props cupboard.

- Need a hand?

- Okay, um, could we just

go back to the start of the scene?

- Sure.

- Beth, don't you enter from this end?

- Uh, no, I don't think so.

- The scene in the woods is right before this.

You went off this side.

- Oh yeah, actually I, uh,

I think I'm gonna cut that scene.

- What?

Since when?

- Last night.

I read it back, it just doesn't add anything.

- I'm halfway through the props on that.

- It doesn't fit with the story.

- But we've already rehearsed it.

- What if Wolfeo's chained himself to a tree?

You know, body on the line environmentalist

so he's more than a one dimensional werewolf.

- There's a tree ready to go.

- Look, can we just leave the scene

until you've decided?

- I've decided.

- Okay, let's just focus on this scene then.

- We can't act it properly if we don't know

what's happened beforehand.

- You can't act it properly anyway.

- Says the stagehand who was rejected.

(Leo indistinctly speaks)

- You're not even in the scene in the woods

so it doesn't make a difference.

- About time.

Where have you been?

- Bagel.

- You can't just rock up whenever you feel like it,

and expect us to work around you.

Can you put in some actual effort please?

- I rehearsed last night.

- Okay, we're in the middle of a scene,

so you can go help Leo for now.

- [Leo] Uh, sure.

- We're not rehearsing with them flirting in the corner.

- Actually I came to tell you I can't do it anymore.

- What?

Why?

- Booked a solo gig

same date as opening night.

- Say no. - Can't.

- We'll figure it out, okay?

Just relax.

- Yeah when every single thing is going wrong.

- One thing.

- We've lost Wade, the story keeps on changing,

Georgie is being ans absolute pain in the...

Why is she even hanging around?

- Look, I can probably get Wade back on board.

- No, if he's gonna bail whenever he feels like it

we don't want him.

The last thing we need is a flaky actor.

- I think that was just about Leo.

- He's a selfish child.

If it's not about him

or his crappy music,

he doesn't give a sh-

- No, I don't actually think that's fully fair.

- Stop being so gullible.

- I'm just trying to help-

- Well don't, okay?

- Why are you getting mad at me?

- I'm not.

- What is it?

- Why didn't you tell me about you two?

- Me and Wade?

You're getting freaked out that I went out with Wade

for two weeks years ago.

- No.

- Or is it because it was with a guy?

- I don't care if it was with a guy

if you're bi be bi.

I care that you're gonna be kissing someone

that you had feelings for and dated,

and didn't tell me,

and you cast him knowing all of that.

What is your game?

- You must be stoked he quit then.

- Beth, I-

- No, I'm getting out of here.

- Do you wanna help out or what?

- Huh?

- God, you are on another planet today.

- Seriously you're like a hawk.

- Sorry I'm not Beth.

- What?

- Nothing.

I haven't seen her around recently.

- So.

- God, I do not miss high school.

- Who would?

- Yeah, who would wanna be

around all the total drama everyday,

everyone stuck together.

- It sucks.

- Then you have a falling out with someone

and stuck seeing them.

- Yeah.

- [Georgie] That's the most insecure thing ever.

- [Beth] You think?

- [Georgie] Being jealous of someone

you went out with for five seconds

years ago, what's wrong with her?

- Yeah, I guess she doesn't trust me.

- It's not too late. - For what?

- Call the whole thing off.

- I can't, I like her.

- I was talking about the play.

- Right.

- But your mind went to-

- No, I didn't know what you meant.

- When your brain auto fills like that

it's gonna mean something.

- No, I-

- Well why leap to it then

if you weren't already thinking about it?

Come on, I'm just

trying to look out for you.

Remember Olivia?

- Sorry, I must sound crazy.

- No.

Don't ever let someone tell you that, okay?

You can't help the way you feel.

- So you don't think I'm paranoid?

- Well, I mean, yeah, but that could be the weed.

I don't care what you do on your breaks.

- Seriously?

- What's your gut say?

- It's like she's committed but not at the same time.

- Don't rush it.

- I'm not but there was just so much I didn't know,

and then I overreacted to this whole Wade thing,

and then not to mention the overbearing best friend thing.

- Don't overreact, don't over think.

Don't lean on that.

- Right.

- Trust me.

I just wish I chilled out a little bit more in high school.

- I think my situation's a little bit different though.

- In what way?

- Three girls involved.

- Not as different as you might think actually.

- Sorry.

Didn't realize.

- Never assume.
