1. Wood shop

SOUND          DISTINCTIVE WOOD SHOP CLOCK TICKS

2. AMB - GYM

SOUND          CANNED MUSIC PLAYS

STUDENTS       CHATTER

SOUND          HARSH NOISE OVER THE SPEAKERS

PEABODY        [P.A.] All right, everybody.  Quiet down.  I know you don't want to listen to this old fuddy-duddy all night, [waits for laughter, which is scarce] [fading into background] but I have a few announcements that have to be made.  Emergency exits are at the front and back of the room, should there be any ...um, emergency.

LYN            You're sure Andy'll still be coming tonight?

BARB           Oh, sure...maybe he'll even try to get me back, wouldn't that be a riot?

LYN            Yeah.  [no]

BARB           [to Tina] Hey Tina!  Where're you going?  The night's still young!

TINA           Huh?  Barb?  [too fast] Nowhere.

BARB           [nastily] Hot date?

TINA           [gasp]  I-- I--  Oh!

SOUND          DASHES AWAY

BARB           [considering] Hmm.

LYN            Why are you so harsh to your friends?

BARB           Oh, please.  Any guy she can't bring to prom isn't worth dating. 

LYN            Maybe she has to pick him up from work or something.

BARB           [scorn] Work?  Tscha.  [up] Ooh!  Jake!

LYN            Don't leave me!

BARB           I'm your cousin, not your babysitter.  Andy'll be around somewhere.

MR. PEABODY     [fading back in] Finally.  The only washrooms that are available are the ones in the locker rooms.  The school is locked, so no matter how long the lines are, you have to wait.

CHICK          [giggle]

TODD           [evasive] Sorry.  Sorry.

SOUND          FEET QUICKLY SHUFFLE PAST

CHICK          Who's that?

DUDE           That's the [up] freak [down, fading out] who's all obsessed with his damn woodshop project.

SOUND          VELCRO OPENING

HAL            [slightly muffled] I don't have anything else to wear.  I was gonna just--

BUD            God, you are the king of dork.  Find something in the drama closet.  They just did some pig-thing show.

SOUND          CLATTER

GEE            [laughs delightedly, but clearly not "interested"]  You're so cute.

HAL            Gee?  What are-- you--?

GEE            Thought you could use a hand.  I did wardrobe for the last three shows and know where everything is.

TODD           [groans and passes out]

SOUND          BODY FALL

ANDY           [slyly] Well, we could go and take a look at the Wood Shop.

LYN            Us?  Shouldn't we send Rent-a-cop Bob?  It IS what he's here for.  Besides, someone should stay and look after Todd.

ANDY           [whispered explaining] It's a gag, see?  Bob'll skin anyone who gets him to shift his lardbutt for a prank. 

LYN            It doesn't sound like--

ANDY           Babe, it's practically Polk High tradition for some bozo like Todd here to pull a big prank during prom.
