xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
DAIRINE: Dad? When I turn sixteen, can I drop out and devote all my time to wizardry?
DAD: What? I hope that you're joking, Dairi!
DAIRINE: (Shrugs and smiles ruefully) It's just that I'm so different than everyone else now, every single day is miserable.
DAD: (Sighs) I dunno, kidling . . . I guess that's up to you.
DAIRINE: (Smiles) At least you didn't tell me to try and fit in.
DAD: That might help too.
DAIRINE: (Glares and stalks off to school) Be like someone else, yeah right!
It's a new day
But it all feels old
It's a good life,
That's what I'm told
But everything, it all just feels the same
NITA: (Catches up) Dad gave you the 'try to fit in' reply, huh?
DAIRINE: Yeah. I just wish he'd try to understand.
NITA: He gave that answer to me once too. Don't worry, I think it gets better.
DAIRINE: You –think-?
NITA: (Smiles, then frowns as Joanne walks by)
At my high school
It felt more to me
Like a jail cell, or penitentiary
My time spent there, it only made me see
That I don't ever wanna be like you
I don't wanna do the things you do
I'm never gonna hear the words you say
And I don't ever wanna,
I don't ever wanna be
You
DAIRINE:
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
You
Don't wanna be you
KIT: (Ports in beside Nita after Joanne is gone) I heard what happened through Nita. Sorry, Kiddo.
"Go to college,
A university
Get a real job"
That's what they said to me
But I could never live the way they want
I'm gonna get by
And just do my time
ALL:
Out of step while
They all get in line
I'm just a minor threat so pay no mind
DAIRINE:
Do you really wanna be like them?
NITA:
Do you really wanna be another trend?
KIT:
Do you wanna be part of their crowd?
ALL:
Cause I don't ever wanna
I don't ever wanna be
You
Don't wanna be just like you
NITA:
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
You
Don't wanna be you
DAIRINE:
Shake it once, that's fine
NITA:
Shake it twice, that's okay
KIT:
Shake it three times, you're playing with yourself again
ALL:
You
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
Y'all got to feel me, sing if you're with me
You
Don't wanna be just like you (just like you)
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
Y'all got to feel me, sing if you're with me
DAIRINE:
Another loser anthem
KIT&NITA:
Whoa-oh
NITA:
Another loser anthem
KIT&DAIRINE:
Whoa-oh
KIT:
Another loser anthem
NITA&DAIRINE:
Whoa-oh
ALL:
Another loser anthem
NITA: Don't feel bad, Dair. After all, it is only one more year after you turn sixteen. That means only one and a half more years for me!
DAIRINE: (Dryly) Thanks for the encouragement.
KIT: Anytime!
(They finish the walk to school and go their separate ways to their classes.)
