Scene 8 - Dancing Through Life
Garfield:
THE TROUBLE WITH SCHOOLS IS
THEY ALWAYS TRY TO TEACH THE WRONG LESSON
BELIEVE ME, I'VE BEEN KICKED OUT OF ENOUGH OF THEM TO KNOW!
THEY WANT YOU TO BECOME LESS CALLOW, LESS SHALLOW,
BUT I SAY WHY INVITE STRESS IN?
STOP STUDYING STRIFE
AND LEARN TO LIVE
THE UNEXAMINED LIFE...
DANCIN' THROUGH LIFE
SKIMMING THE SURFACE
GLIDING WHERE TURF IS SMOOTH
LIFE IS PAINLESS FOR THE BRAINLESS
THOSE WHO DON'T TRY, NEVER LOOK FOOLISH
DANCING THROUGH LIFE
NO NEED TO TOUGH IT
WHEN YOU CAN SLUFF IT OFF AS I DO
NOTHING MATTERS, BUT KNOWING NOTHING MATTERS
IT'S JUST LIFE, SO KEEP DANCING THROUGH
DANCING THROUGH LIFE
SWAYING AND SWEEPING
AND ALWAYS KEEPING COOL
LIFE IS FRAUGHTLESS
WHEN YOU'RE THOUGHTLESS
THOSE WHO DON'T TRY
NEVER LOOK FOOLISH
DANCING THROUGH LIFE
MINDLESS AND CARELESS
MAKE SURE YOU'RE WHERE LESS TROUBLE IS RIFE
WHOES ARE FLEETING
BLOWS ARE GLANCING
WHEN YOU'RE DANCING
THROUGH LIFE!
Garfield: So! What's the most swankified place in town?
Tera: That would be the Jumpdust Ballroom!
Garfield: Sounds perfect!
LET'S GO DOWN TO THE JUMPDUST BALLROOM
WE'LL MEET THERE LATER TONIGHT
WE CAN DANCE 'TIL IT'S LIGHT
FIND THE PRETTIEST GIRL
GIVE HER A WHIRL!
RIGHT ON DOWN TO THE JUMPDUST BALLROOM
COME ON FOLLOW ME!
YOU'LL BE HAPPY TO BE THERE
Students:
DANCIN' THROUGH LIFE, DOWN AT THE JUMPDUST (LIFE!)
Garfield:
IF ONLY BECAUSE DUST IS WHAT WE COME TO!
Students:
NOTHIN' MATTERS, BUT KNOWING NOTHING MATTERS
IT'S JUST LIFE!!
Garfield:
SO KEEP DANCING THROUGH...
Wally: Miss Tera? I hope you'll save at least one dance for me. I'll be waiting right there, right by your side, waiting, all night.
Tera: Oh, how very kind, Willy.
Wally: ... Wally...
Tera: But, do you know what would be even kinder?
SEE THAT TRAGICALLY BEAUTIFUL GIRL?
THE ONE WITH THE HAIR?
IT SEEMS SO UNFAIR
WE SHOULD GO ON A SPREE
AND NOT SHE, GEE
I KNOW SOMEONE WOULD BE MY HERO
IF THAT SOMEONE WERE
TO GO INVITE HER!
Wally: Well, maybe I could invite her!
Tera: OH, Willy, REALLY?
YOU WOULD DO THAT FOR ME?
Wally: I would do anything for you, Miss Tera. Walks Over To Jennessa. Excuse me, Miss Jennessa? There's something I'd like to ask you...
Garfield: To Tera. You're good.
Tera: I don't know what you mean. But I do happen to be free tonight, so...
Garfield: So, I'll be picking you up around eight?
Tera: After all...
NOW THAT WE'VE MET ONE ANOTHER,
Both:
IT'S CLEAR WE DESERVE EACHOTHER!
Tera: You're perfect!
Garfield: You're perfect!
Both:
SO WE'RE PERFECT TOGETHER
BORN TO BE FOREVER
DANCING THROUGH LIFE!!
The Scene Fades to Raven and Jennessa.
Raven: It's absurd! This silly, rich boy appears and everyone's off to worship him and some cultish social gathering!
Jennessa: Even me! I'm going! Isn't it wonderful? Wally was too shy to ask me at first, but once Tera encouraged him...
Raven: Tera?!
Jennessa: Don't you dare say another word against her! I'm about to have the first happy night of my life all thanks to Tera!
FINALLY FOR THIS ONE NIGHT,
I'M ABOUT TO HAVE A FUN NIGHT
WITH THIS FLASH BOY TERA FOUND FOR ME
AND I ONLY WISH THERE WERE
SOMETHING I COULD DO FOR HER TO REPAY HER
RAVEN SEE...
WE DESERVE EACHOTHER AND TERA HELPED IT COME TRUE
WE DESERVE EACHOTHER, ME AND WALLY
Jennessa: Please, Raven, try to understand.
Raven: I DO...
The Scene Changes to Tera, Starfire, & Kole. Raven Remains on the Other Side of the Stage.
Tera: Now I must accessorize myself for Gar.
Starfire Pulls The Witch's Hat Out Of One Of Tera's Hat Boxes.
Kole:Tera, what in Superman's name!?
Tera: Now, just pretend you didn't see that. My granny is always giving me the most hideodeous hats. I'd give it away, but I don't hate anyone that much.
Starfire: Yes you do!
Kole: Give it to her! Just do it!
They All Stare At Raven. Tera Walks Forward, Meeting Raven Half Way.
Raven: Tera listen, Nessa and I were talking about you just now...
Tera: And I was just talking about you! I thought you might want to wear this hat to the party tonight! Gives Her The Hat.
IT'S REALLY... UH... SHARP!
DON'T YOU THINK?
Y'KNOW BLACK, IS THIS YEAR'S PINK!
YOU DESERVE EACHOTHER,
THIS HAT AND YOU,
YOU'RE BOTH SO... SMART!
YOU DESERVE EACHOTHER, SO HERE!
OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF MY HEART!
Tera Runs Off. Raven Laughs At The Sight Of The Hat. She Exits.. The Students Enter and Dance. When This Is Done, Wally And Jennessa Appear, Awkwardly Holding Hands.
Jennessa: What's in the punch?
Wally: Lemons, and melons, and pears!
Jennessa: Oh my!
Wally: LISTEN JENNA ...
Jennessa: Yes?
Wally: UH, JENNA...
I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO CONFESS A
REASON WHY, WELL, WHY I ASKED YOU HERE TONIGHT...
NOW, I KNOW IT ISN'T FAIR.
Jennessa: Oh, Wally, I know why.
Wally: You do?
Jennessa: IT'S BECAUSE I'VE GOT THIS HAIR, AND YOU FELT SORRY FOR ME...
WELL, ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
Wally: No... It's because... uh... because...
BECAUSE YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL!
Jennessa: Oh, Wally!
I THINK YOU'RE WONDERFUL!
AND WE DESERVE EACH OTHER, DON'T YOU SEE THIS IS OUR CHANCE?
WE DESERVE EACH OTHER, DON'T WE WALLY?
Wally: You know what? Let's dance!
Jennessa: What?
Wally: LET'S DANCE!
They Dance, As Well As The Others Around Them. Finally, Master Slade Runs Up To Tera.
Slade: Oh, Miss Markov?
Tera: Master Slade... What are you doing here?
Slade: I have something for you. He Hands Her A Small Wand.
Tera: Gasps. Master... a training wand... How can I ever express my graditution?
Slade: Oh, don't thank me! This was your roommate's idea, not mine.
Tera: What? Raven?
Slade: Miss Raven requested that I include you in sorcery class. She insisted I tell you this very night or she would quit the seminar.
Tera: But... why?
Slade: I have no idea. My personal opinion is you do not have what it takes. I hope you'll prove me wrong... I doubt you will.
She Leaves Garfield Comes Up To Tera.
Garfield: What is it?
Tera: I got what I wanted...
Garfield: Then what's the matter?
Tera: Nothing...
Garfield: Good. Let's dance...
They Begin To Dance As Raven Walks In. They Stop As All The Students Gasp And Make Comments About The Way She Is Dressed. People Then Start Laughing.
Garfield: Who in Metropolis is this?
Tera: My roommates... please, don't ... stare!
Garfield: How can you help it?
Raven Takes Off The Hat, Noticing The Comments. She Waits, Then Puts It Back On and Begins To Dance. She Is Alone. There Is No Music.
Garfield: Well I'll say this, she doesn't give a heroes ass about what anyone else thinks.
Tera: Of course does, she just pretends not to... I feel awful...
Garfield: Why? It's not like it's your fault.
Tera: Excuse me... She Walks Over To Raven and Clears Her Throat. May I cut in?
Tera Begins Dancing Just As Horribly. The Students Now Accept It, And Begin To Dance Again As The Music Starts.
All:
DANCING THROUGH LIFE, DOWN AT THE JUMPDUST
IF ONLY BECAUSE DUST IS WHAT WE COME TO
AND THE STRANGE THING, YOUR LIFE COULD END UP CHANGING
WHILE YOU'RE DANCING THROUGH
Scene 9 - Sharing Secrets
Raven & Tera Barge Into Their Suite... Tera Is In Hysterics.
Tera: Your very first party ever?! Your very first party! Oh I know! Let's tell each other something we've never told anyone... I'll go first: Garfield and I are going to be married (squeals).
Raven: Really? He's asked you already?
Tera: No, he doesn't know yet... Now, you tell me a secret.
Raven: Like what?
Tera: Like... Why do you always sleep with this funny, little, green bottle under your pillow? Grabs The Bottle.
Raven: Give that back.
Tera: C'mon, tell me. Tell me tell me!
Raven: It was my mother's! That's all...
Silence.
Tera: Hands Her The Bottle. It's not fair. I told you a really good one.
Raven: My father hates me.
Tera: Gasps.
Raven: No, that's not the secret. It's my fault...
Tera: What is?
Raven: ... that my sister is the way she is. . Pause. You see, when my mother was carrying Nessa, my father was worried that the new baby might come out...
Both: Green.
Raven: So he made my mother chew milk flowers, day and night. But that made Nessa come too soon, with her little legs all tangled. And my mother never woke up. None of which ever would have happened if not for me.
Tera: But that was the milkflowers fault, not yours. That may be your secret, Raven, but that doesn't make it true. Oh look, it's tomorrow! Rae... do you mind if I call you Rae?
Raven: Well, it's a little perky.
Tera: And you can call me... Tera. So... Rae.. Now that we're friends, I've decided to make you my new project!
Raven: You really don't have to do that.
Tera: I know, that's what makes me so nice!
Scene 10 - Popular
Tera:
WHENEVER I SEE SOMEONE LESS FORTUNATE THAN I
AND LET'S FACE IT... WHO ISN'T
LESS FORTUNATE THAN I?
MY TENDER HEART TENDS TO START TO BLEED
AND WHEN SOMEONE NEEDS A MAKEOVER
I SIMPLY HAVE TO TAKEOVER
I KNOW I KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT THEY NEED
AND EVEN IN YOUR CASE...

INSTEAD OF DREARY WHO YOU WERE...

THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN STOP YOU
FROM BECOMING POPULER...

WHEN I SEE DEPRESSING CREATURES
WITH UNPREPOSSESSING FEATURES,
I REMIND THEM ON THEIR OWN BEHALF

CELEBRATED HEADS OF STATE
OR ESPECIALLY GREAT COMMUNICATORS
DID THEY HAVE BRAINS OR KNOWLEDGE?
DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH!

PLEASE, IT'S ALL ABOUT POPULAR

Raven: This is never going to work!
Tera: Oh Rae-Rae, you mustn't think that way anymore! Your whole life is going to change... and all because of me. Okay, stand... I will turn your frock into a beautiful ball gown! Stand up... She Picks Up Her Wand and Waves It. Ball gown!! Nothing Happens, So She Repeats. Ball gown!! Still Nothing Happens. She Taps Her Wand On The Bed. Is this thing on?
Raven: Do you want me to try?
Tera: No, I've got it! She Throws The Wand Down. Oh, just wear the frock... it's pretty! Now, I'll show you how to flip your hair: Flip flip. Or you could use your hand. Demonstrates. Or, you can use your whole body. Falls onto bed. Squeals. Now, for the finishing touch. Takes flower out of her hair, puts it into Raven 's. Why, Miss Raven, look at you, you're beautiful. Hands her the mirror.
Raven: After Looking In the Mirror. I... I have to go.
She Runs Off.
Tera: You're Welcome! She Admires Herself In The Mirror.
AND THOUGH YOU PROTEST
YOUR DISINTEREST,
I KNOW CLANDESTINELY...
YOU'RE GONNA GRIN AND BEAR IT
YOUR NEW FOUND POPULARITY! (SQUEALS)
LA LA LA LA
YOU'LL BE POPULAR!
JUST NOT QUITE AS POPULAR
AS ME!!
Scene 11 - The Lion Cub
The Students Are In Dr. Stone's Class In Desks. Raven Walks in Outrageously Dressed.
Raven: Flips her hair.. Flip Flip!What?
Garfield: Nothing, it's just... you've been " Tera -fied". You don't have to do that , you know?
Stone: Alright, take your seats, class! I have something to say, and very little time to say it. This is my last day here at Shiz I am no longer permitted to teach. I want to thank you for your sharing your enthusiasm, your essays, no matter how feebly structured, and even, on occasion, your lunch.
Mme. Morrible Rushes In.
Morrible: Doctor Stone! I'm so dreadfully sorry.
Raven: Madame, we've got to do something.
Stone: Miss Raven, they can take away my job, but I shall continue speaking out.
Scientist: Come on, Cyborg...
To Men Begin To Carry Him Out Of The Room.
Stone: They are not telling you the whole story! Remember that, class! Remember that.
He Is Gone.
Raven: Doctor Stone! After A Pause. Well, are you just going to sit here in silence?
Morrible: Miss Raven there is nothing we can do. Please take your seat.
Professor: Good afternoon, students!
Morrible: Good afternoon.
Professor: Every day, with every tick of the Time Dragon Clock, in every corner of our great Oz, one hears the silence of progress. For example: this is called a cage!
He Points To A Cage With A Cloth Draped Over It. He Pulls Off The Cloth, Revealing A Lion Cub Inside.
Professor: Now, we will be seeing more and more of them in the near future. This remarkable innovation is actually for the Animal's own good...
Raven: If this is for his own good, then why is he trembling?
Professor: He's just excited to be here, that's all. Hits the cage. Now, as I was saying, one of the benefits of caging a Lion cub while he's young is that he never, in fact, will learn how to speak.
Raven: What?
He Motions The Students Forward, Toward The Cage.
Professor: That's right! Come closer!
Raven: To Garfield. Can you imagine a world where Animals are kept in cages and they never speak?
Professor: Now, he may seem a bit agitated but that's easily remedied.
Raven: What should I do?
Garfield: I don't know.
Raven: Well, somebody has to... Do something!!
Sparks Begin To Fly Everywhere. All Students & The Professor Are Moving Uncontrollably Except Garfield and Raven.
Garfield: What's happening?
Raven: I don't know I got mad...and
Garfield: Alright just don't move! And don't get mad at me... He Grabs The Cage. Well are you coming?
She Runs With Him After He Snatches The Lion Cub.
Raven: Careful! Don't shake him!
Garfield: I'm not!
Raven: We can't just let him loose anywhere, you know. We have to find someplace safe...
Garfield: Don't you think that I realize that? You must think I'm really stupid or something!
Raven: No, not really stupid.
Garfield: Why is it that every time I see you you're causing some sort of commotion?
Raven: I don't cause commotions, I am one.
Garfield: That's for sure.
Raven: Oh! So you think I should just keep my mouth shut! Is that what you're saying?
Garfield: No, I'm...
Raven: Do you think I want to be this way? Do you think I want to care this much? Don't you know how much easier my life would be if I didn't?
Garfield: Do you ever let anyone else talk?
Raven: Oh, sorry... But can I just say one more thing? You could have just walked away back there.
Garfield: So?
Raven: So, no matter how shallow and self-absorbed you tend to be...
Garfield: Excuse me, there's no pretense here. I happen to be genuinely self-absorbed and deeply shallow.
Raven: No you're not. Or you wouldn't be so unhappy.
Garfield: Fine, if you don't want my help...
Raven: No, I do! Poor little thing, it's heart is trembling... I didn't mean for...
Garfield: What did you mean to do? Why was I the only one you didn't do it to?
Raven: Oh look, you're bleeding... it must have scratched you. Referring To A Cut On His Face.
Garfield: Yea... or maybe it scratched me. I better get to safety... I mean the cub... get the cub to safety. He Walks Off.
Raven: Gar...
Scene 12 - I'm Not That Girl
Raven:
HANDS TOUCH
EYES MEET
SUDDEN SILENCE
SUDDEN HEAT
HEARTS LEAP IN A GIDDY WHIRL
HE COULD BE THAT BOY
BUT I'M NOT THAT GIRL
DON'T DREAM TOO FAR
DON'T LOSE SIGHT OF
WHO YOU ARE
DON'T REMEMBER THAT RUSH OF JOY
HE COULD BE THAT BOY
BUT I'M NOT THAT GIRL
EVERY SO OFTEN
WE LONG TO STEAL
TO THE LAND OF "WHAT-MIGHT-HAVE-BEEN"
BUT THAT DOESN'T SOFTEN THE ACHE WE FEEL
WHEN REALITY SETS BACK IN
BLITHE SMILE, LITHE LIMB
SHE WHO'S WINSOME, SHE WINS HIM
GOLD HAIR WITH A GENTLE CURL
THAT'S THE GIRL HE CHOSE
AND HEAVEN KNOWS
I'M NOT THAT GIRL
DON'T WISH
DON'T START
WISHING ONLY WOUNDS THE HEART
I WASN'T BORN FOR THE ROSE AND PEARL
THERE'S A GIRL I KNOW
HE LOVES HER SO
I'M NOT THAT GIRL...
