LISEL<br />

He's an adult with a 7-year-old brain. Anyway! He'll probably be occupied trying<br />

to hit on some poor girl and embarrassing himself so ...<br />

CHRISTINE chugs some vodka-orange and closes the lid.<br />

That's absolutely VILE! So, what?<br />

CHRISTINE<br />

LISEL<br />

(Shitty medieval English accent) I hereby sentence you ... To making tedious<br />

conversation, having burst eardrums and sore feet until dawn! Also, thine must<br />

go through many o' migraines in thy dewy morn past.<br />

CHRISTINE<br />

(Shittier medieval English accent) Oh no! The fearsome Countess Lisel Mbaye<br />

of The Pale! She spares nobody from thine terrible trials of punishment and ...<br />

Passion? ... Mayhaps, will she spare thine secret-but-not-very-secret-sinceyour-parents-know<br />

LOVER?<br />

LISEL grabs CHRISTINE's hand and grins.<br />

LISEL<br />

(Maniacal English accent) HAHAHAA! NEVER!!!!!!!!<br />

LISEL drags CHRISTINE inside.<br />

They enter the PE hall that's filled with DEFINITELY NOT INEBRIATED 17 and<br />

18-year-olds. The hall is decorated with tacky banners, way too many disco balls and<br />

neon lights.<br />

Very ... Suave?<br />

The word is "sensory nightmare."<br />

Suave.<br />

LISEL<br />

CHRISTINE<br />

LISEL<br />

CHRISTINE chugs almost three quarters of the vodka-orange.<br />

Hey! Take it easy ... Save some for me ...<br />
