Page 65 - The Kid Who Played The Palace

BUT I DON‘T NEED THIS NOW WITH EVERYTHING THAT‘S GOING ON
I FINALLY GOT A CHANCE TO GET DISCOVERED HERE,
BUT BENNY DOESN‘T SEEM TO KNOW THAT I EXIST.

ALL

EVERYTHING‘S THE SAME EXCEPT FOR HER
WHY CAN‘T THINGS JUST STAY THE WAY THEY WERE?

BENNY

GOD HOW MUCH I MISSED HER
THIS ENTIRE YEAR.

ALYSON

MAYBE IF I PRAY, SHE‘LL DISAPPEAR.

KELLY
(Ultra-innocent, sincere) So basically, being off the show gives me a chance to have a normal
childhood. Like mom says: ―Every kid needs some time just to be a kid.‖ Y‘know?

ALYSON
(Making very loud, obvious ―hurl‖ sound and gesture) UUUHHHWWWLLLL! (Kids ad-lib amusement)

STEELE
And… how‘d you end up… (looking around, forced smile) here?

KELLY
Benny‘s the one who discovered me. Without him, (innocent chuckle) I don‘t know where I‘d be.

ALYSON
(Half-aside) In jail.

[4 note intro, then single chords, becoming syncopated]

LOOK WHAT SHE‘S DOING NOW
SHE‘S BUSY SUCKING UP.
