Promise
[JASON]
Promise...
Webster's defines promise as a declaration
That something will or will not be done

[IVY]
Where have you been?
Is this some stupid game?
I meant it when I said I need to talk to you!

[JASON]
I understand, but Ivy, nothing's changed

[IVY]
You have no idea what I'm going through

[JASON]
I'll say it one more time
I'm sorry I don't feel the same
We had ourselves a moment, but it's gone
My head's in thirty different places
Please, just try to understand
Let's leave things at that and just move on

[IVY, spoken]
That night...
We weren't safe
So tell me how we move on

[JASON]
I don't know what it is you want from me
I don't have time to hear whatever tale you've spun
I have to write this speech before tonight
Plus, there are all these scenes I have to run

[IVY]
You know what I am saying
I would never make this up
You're a winner, pat your perfect back
Way to go, you got me pregnant
Put that in your fucking speech
They wanted real
Well, God, you'll give them that!

[JASON, spoken]
Shit
Why are you doing this to me?
Shit

[IVY]
But we're in this together...

[JASON]
I've got to pull together...

[IVY]
We'll take it one step at a time...

[JASON]
Is this what I wanted?
Tell me, tell me what to do...

[IVY]
Somehow we'll get through
Jason, I still love you
Someday maybe...

[JASON]
Love me?

[IVY]
Someday maybe you can learn
Maybe you can...

[JASON]
Maybe I can...

[IVY]
Maybe you can...

[JASON & IVY]
Learn to love you too
Learn to love me too

[IVY]
Maybe
Please

[MATT]
Maybe he would love you
Maybe if he weren't that way,
He wouldn't treat your feelings like his toy
Maybe he'd make you feel real special
Like I always wanted to
But he's already in love with a boy

[IVY, spoken]
What?

[PETER, spoken]
Am I late?
What's going on?

[NADIA]
Jason, have you seen Ivy?
I guess you have

[JASON]
You knew?

[NADIA]
Only since this afternoon

[PETER]
Knew what?

[MATT]
Ivy's pregnant and your boyfriend's the dad
So what does that make you?

[PETER]
She's what?
What the fuck are you talking about, 'my boyfriend?'

[MATT]
Don't play dumb with me, Peter

[JASON, spoken]
Get the fuck outta here, Matt

[MATT]
Should I tell them what I saw at the rave?
Look, I'm not here to judge
Just keep everyone on the same page
And, hey, I think I found that strong opening
You were looking for in your speech

[JASON, spoken]
Whatever, Matt, whatever you saw, it was a rave

[MATT]
Are you gonna stand there and deny it?
I know

[JASON, spoken]
You know, huh? You fucking know, huh?
What the fuck do you know?

[PETER, spoken]
He knows, Jason...
He knows 'cause I told him...
It was after Ivy's birthday, we were drunk
I'm sorry...
No. You know what? I'm not

[IVY, spoken]
What is going on, Peter?
Jason, is he kidding? Jason?

[JASON, spoken]
Look... Let's just run this scene
(sung)
If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this

[JASON, spoken]
Peter...

[PETER, spoken]
Don't...

[JASON, spoken]
Peter, I don't know understand what's happening
I don't know what to do, you have to help me

[PETER, spoken]
I tried...

[JASON, spoken]
Wait, you know what then?
Fuck you, Peter!
Fuck you!

[NADIA]
Jason, I don't know what to tell you
Here's one idea:
I'd rule out calling Dad
I've thought it through and I confess
I can't see through this mess
Maybe being single's not so bad
But you can solve this
I know you can
Don't forget that
Take my hand
Tell me what to do
Or what to say
Somehow we'll get through
We'll find a way

[JASON, spoken]
Yeah, thanks, I know
Can you leave me alone ?
I don't mean to be mean...
I just... I ca--

[NADIA, spoken]
Sure
Call me tonight, or tomorrow, or whenever
Just call me...
