SCENE 4 - Miss Strict's Office
#19 EXPOSÉ
EDDIE
(entering)
DELILAH STRICT...!
MISS STRICT
Oh God, not you again....
EDDIE
YOU'RE LOOKING SCRUMPTIOUS TONIGHT....
(She walks over to him. Then slaps him. Hard.)
MISS STRICT
ARE YOU SATISFIED, FLAGRANTE?
HAVE YOU GOT WHAT YOU DESIRED?
YOU'RE DESTROYING ALL I'VE WORKED FOR
WITH THIS FRENZY YOU'VE INSPIRED!
EDDIE
AIN'T IT FUNNY HOW THINGS HAPPEN?
CAN THIS REALLY BE BY CHANCE?
AFTER ALL THE TIME GONE BY...
...WE FIN'LLY MADE IT TO THE DANCE.
MISS STRICT
Too little, too late, Flagrante!
EDDIE
You know I do believe the last time we were together was in a high school,
very much like this.
MISS STRICT
Correction. The last time we were together was in the back seat of
your father's Studebaker. You were such a bad boy...
EDDIE
And you were such a good girl -- on the outside. But I always knew
there was a blazing inferno beneath the icy exterior. One day you
were bound to melt, and when you did, I wanted to be there to lick up the
puddle...
I ENJOYED THE CONSTANT BATTLES,
THOUGH THE ODDS WERE NONE TO SLIM.
AND I STILL RECALL THOSE TUSSLES
'NEATH THE BLEACHERS IN THE GYM.
ALL THE STEAM...
ALL THE SWEAT...
MISS STRICT
THERE ARE SOME THINGS WE'D BE BETTER TO FORGET....
EDDIE
DO YOU REMEMBER FRENCH CLASS, MON CHER?
MISS STRICT
YES, I RECALL THAT FRENCH CLASS AFFAIR.
EDDIE
OH, TO BE WILD AND YOUNG.
MISS STRICT
EXPLORING A FOREIGN TONGUE.
EDDIE
I LEFT EV'RY DAY FROM FRENCH CLASS
MORE CERTAIN THAN BEFORE,
THAT UNDER YOUR JE NE SAIS QUOI --
I'D FIND L'AMOUR!
TELL ME MY LOVE, DOES GLEE CLUB RING A BELL?
MISS STRICT
YES, I REMEMBER GLEE CLUB, TOO WELL.
EDDIE
REASON GAVE WAY TO RHYME.
MISS STRICT
RAPTURE IN FOUR/FOUR TIME.
EDDIE
THERE IN THE HEAT OF GLEE CLUB,
PASSIONS WERE EXPRESSED.
FOR MUSIC, IT NEVER QUITE SOOTHED --
YOUR SAVAGE BREAST!
EXPOSÉ, MY LOVE,
EXPOSÉ.
I REMEMBER IT WELL;
IT WAS HEAVEN AND HELL,
THE GAMES THAT WE'D PLAY.
EXPOSÉ, MY LOVE,
EXPOSÉ.
MISS STRICT
YOU TORE ME APART.
EDDIE
YOU STOMPED ON MY HEART.
BOTH
THEN CAST ME AWAY.
EXPOSÉ!
EDDIE
THEN CAME THE JOYS OF ART CLASS AT NOON.
MISS STRICT
JUST HEARING YOU SPEAK OF ART CLASS, I SWOOOOOON.
EDDIE
THERE WE KNEW NO RESTRAINTS.
MISS STRICT
DRIPPING IN TEMP'RA PAINTS.
EDDIE
SURROUNDED BY WORKS ROMANTIC,
SECRETS WERE DISCLOSED.
LEAVING YOUR FEELINGS STRIPPED BARE --
AND YOU EXPOSED!
MISS STRICT
YOU LIKED TO NECK DURING FOOTBALL GAMES.
EDDIE
ONE LITTLE PASS AND YOU'D BLUSH.
MISS STRICT
YOU TRIED SO HARD FOR A TOUCHDOWN.
EDDIE
YOU LONGED FOR THE OFFENSIVE RUSH.
BOTH
AND OH, THE EXCITEMENT,
THE THRILL OF THE SCENE.
EDDIE
THE SIGHT OF YOUR POM-POMS!
MISS STRICT
AND THE SMELL OF BRILLIANTINE!
BOTH
EXPOSÉ, MY LOVE,
EXPOSÉ.
I REMEMBER IT WELL;
IT WAS HEAVEN AND HELL
THE GAMES THAT WE'D PLAY.
EXPOSÉ
MY LOVE,
EXPOSÉ.
MISS STRICT
YOU TORE ME APART!
EDDIE
YOU STOMPED ON MY HEART!
BOTH
THEN CAST ME AWAY!
EXPOSÉ!
EXPOSÉ!
EXPOSÉ! |
