Pilgrim’s Hands
[SISTER CHANTELLE, spoken]
Diane, do I hear a waltz in that Charleston? Why are you kicking?
Rory, I'm moving you where we can't see you. God gave you two left feet, no need to hammer the point home to the audience
And Zack, please don't count out loud. It's like white-two-three, white-two-three
Everybody take five!

[LUCAS, spoken]
Just a reminder: the pharmacy closes Friday at noon. Get your orders in before then

[DIANE, spoken]
What pharmacy?

[JASON, spoken]
How's living with Lucas?

[PETER, spoken]
It's fine

[JASON, spoken]
Peter, we graduate next Sunday. Are you really never going to talk to me again? I miss you

[SISTER CHANTELLE, spoken]
Ok, let's run Pilgrims' Hands

[KYRA, spoken]
Ivy's not here, Sister Chantelle

[SISTER CHANTELLE, spoken]
Again? Wonderful... Who's Juliet's understudy?

[DIANE, spoken]
I am!

[SISTER CHANTELLE, spoken]
Alright, Diane... Jason...

[JASON]
If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss

[DIANE, spoken]
Good pilgrim...
Good pilgrim...
Wait! I know it, I swear!
Good pilgrim...

[PETER, spoken]
Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much
Which mannerly devotion shows in this
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss

[ZACK laughs]

[SISTER CHANTELLE, spoken]
Zack, in Shakespeare's time boys played all the parts, so I'll thank you to keep your ignorance as hidden as possible. My suggestion would be to stop breathing. Jason

[JASON]
Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?

[PETER]
Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer

[JASON]
O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do
They pray, grant thou...lest...lest...

[PETER]
...lest faith turn to despair

[SISTER CHANTELLE, spoken]
Well done, Peter. Ivy, nice of you to join us, but we're finished
Y'all want this dance to look like bumper cars? I ain't co-signin' on it. This room will be left open if you want to get together one more time. As for me, I'm going to do a little Pontius Pilate, and wash my hands of y'all

[RORY, spoken]
Guys, we really need to run this. Let's meet here tonight at seven o'clock

[TANYA, spoken]
All of us. Don't be late

[IVY, spoken]
I need to talk to you...do you not get messages?

[JASON, spoken]
Do you not get messages? Fine, what is it?

[IVY, spoken]
Not here. Come back to my room

[JASON, spoken]
I can't, I have to finish my speech. Look, you're coming to rehearsal, right? I can't do this scene without you

[IVY, spoken]
It looks like you can

[JASON, spoken]
I'll meet you before practice

[IVY, spoken]
I'll come by your room

[JASON, spoken]
Fine

[PETER, spoken]
I forgot this

[SISTER CHANTELLE, spoken]
But you remembered all of Juliet's lines...

[PETER, spoken]
I helped Jason rehearse
I should go...

[SISTER CHANTELLE, spoken]
Sit down, we're gonna talk about what's bothering you, because this production has got to be honest. Sister Chantelle don't direct no dinner theater

[PETER, spoken]
You wouldn't understand...

[SISTER CHANTELLE, spoken]
Peter, honey, I think I've been around enough priests to understand you loud, proud, and clear. Sit down

[PETER, spoken]
I don't know what God wants from me...
