Act 1 Scene 3
[The lights go up and the float is turned around to the back side of it and there is a small opening were Gerard is sitting with Gean and wiping off her smudged makeup with a black hankie with a skull on it. Gean continues to cry]
Gerard
I think you should stop crying so I can actually clean your face up.
Gean
Why would I stop crying I am fuckin dead now for Pete’s Sake. I didn’t do anything wrong to get myself in a coffin. I was sheltered all my life, always made the right decisions, never was a adrenaline junkie , and stay-
Gerard
Stayed way from danger, I kinda hear it all before
Gean
You asshole! You have no idea how I feel, you have been dead for years probably, you don’t know how it is like to still have a trace of human emotions and feelings. You don’t know how it was like to be me. To actually have a sign of hope for the future and be able to get out the present.
Gerard
You think you had it bad, you have no fuckin idea what it was like to be me.
Gean
Try me!
[The rest of the band enters in]
Frank
Oh great now you have done it. He is now going to go off like a bomb
Ray
Seriously no one wants to hear Gerard tell his sob story of how life for him was fucked, which we have heard a million times, which we have also witnessed before we were worm food.
Gerard
Shut up Ray! You weren’t the one actually living a fucked up life!
[The song The End begins]
Bob
Here we go again
[The Boys all roll their eyes]
Gerard
[He gets up and goes to stage front. The lights go out and a spot light is on Gerard]
Now come one, come all to this tragic affair. Wipe of that makeup. What’s in his despair? So thrown on your black dress, mix in with the lot. you might wake up and notice you’re someone you’re not!
[the lights go up and there is a graveyard with millions of skulls and bones around. Gean and the band members are sitting on a back bench at the side of the cemetery. As the smoke blows everywhere Gerard turns and walks over to Gean with a twisted smile plastered on his face and kneels down in front of her]
If you look in the mirror and don’t like what you see. You can find out first-hand what it’s like to me!
[He points to himself and stands up and begins walking around like he is drunk. Gean is beginning to look scared]
So gather ‘round piggies and kiss this goodbye. I’d encourage your smiles! I’LL EXPECT YOU WONT CRY!
[The lights begin to flash like strobe lights and the blowing smoke picks up. Then pale white female dancers in torn up short white dresses and heavy black eye makeup and lip stick appear from under grass blankets at the gravestones as if they are rising from their graves. They then start preform a barefoot contemporary lyrical routine to the music while Gerard is still stumbling around as the dancers keep bumping into him and grabbing him like they are trying to drag him to the graves. They then surround him and start snapping to the music around Gerard who is also snapping to the music. They have a wobble in their movements as if they are zombies and their flesh is rotting away. Then they go back to dancing all over the stage as Gerard begins to sing again]
Another contusion, my funeral jag! Here’s my resignation. I’LL SERVE IT IN DRAG!
[When Gerard sings the word drag he slaps his inner thigh]
You’ve got front row seats to the penitence ball
[Gerard points to Gean and looks at her when he sings the line]
When I grow up I want to be nothing at all! I said
[The Strobe lights start going off again]
Gerard and the Dead Dancers
YEAH! YEAH!
Gerard
I SAID
Gerard and the Dead Dancers
YEAH YEAH! C’mon,C’mon,C’mon, I said, Save Me!
[The dancer’s begin to surround Gerard and start waving their arms around him]
Gerard
Get Me the Hell out of here!
Gerard and the Dead Dancers
SAVE ME!
Gerard
Too young to die and my dear
Gerard and the Dead Dancers
YOU CAN’T
Gerard
If you can hear me just walk away and
Gerard and the Dead Dancers
TAKE ME!
[the music than cuts off and the dancers freeze and Gean is shrieking shaking in fear as the band tries to comfort her then Gerard looks at her with a crooked smile.]
Gerard
Oh Honey you only know half of it
[The song Dead! begins to chime in and the Strobe lights go off again and more smoke is blown and the dancer’s begin to dance again]
And if your heart stops beating, I’ll be here wondering. Did you get what you deserve? The ending of your life! And if you get to heaven, I’ll be here waiting,babe. Did you get what you deserve? The end and if your life won’t wait. Then your heart can’t take this!
Gerard and the Dead Dancers
Have you heard the news that you’re dead?
Gerard
No one ever had much nice to say. I think I they never liked you anyway
Gerard and the Dead Dancers
Oh take
Gerard
Me from the hospital bed. Wouldn’t it be grand? It ain’t exactly what you planned. And wouldn’t it be great if we were dead!
[Gerard walks over and sits next to Gean and crosses his legs like a girl]
Tounge-tied and oh so squeamish. You never fell in love. Did you get what you deserve? The ending of your life, and if we get to heaven, I’ll be waiting babe
[Gerard kisses Gean on the cheek then she gets a shocked look as if he violated her]
Did you get what you deserve? The end and if your life won’t wait, then your heart can’t take this!
[Gerard runs off the bench and starts skipping around the stage with the rest of the dead dancers.]
Gerard and the Dead Dancers
Have you heard the news that you’re dead?
[the dancers then surround Gerard again and they look at him with grief plastered on their faces]
Gerard
No one ever had much nice to say. I think I they never liked you anyway
[Gerard shrugs]
Gerard and the Dead Dancers
Oh take
Gerard
Me from the hospital bed. Wouldn’t it be grand? To take a pistol by the hand. And wouldn’t it be great if we were
Gerard and the Dead Dancers
DEAD!
[Three out of the group of dancers begin to sing]
Dancer 1
And in my honest observation
Dancer 2
During this operation
Dancer 3
Found a complication in your heart
[Gerard has a sarcastic pouty/sad face]
Dancer 1
So Long
Dancer 2
‘Cause now you’ve got
Dancer 3
Maybe just two weeks to live
Gerard
[Screams at the top of his lungs and the strobe lights go off]
IS THAT THE MOST THE BOTH OF YOU CAN GIVE!
[Gerard starts head banging and the dancers continue to dance wildly during the guitar solo.]
1 2! 1,2,3,4!
Gerard and the Dead Dancers
La la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la laaa! Well c’mon! La la la la la, la la la la lah la, la la la la la la laaa!
[The dancers continue to sing the la la las]
Gerard
Oh Motherfucker, If life aint a joke! Then why are we laughing? If life aint just a joke, then why are we laughing? If life aint just a joke then why are we laughing? If life aint just a joke, then why am I dead?
[The dancers all surround Gerard and the strobe light go of again]
Gerard and the Dead Dancers
DEAD!
[Gerard and the dancers raise up their right hands and look up and their hands in the air are jazz hands and the music cuts off]
Gean
O my gosh! A-are, you from hell!
Gerard
Don’t we all go to Hell!
[Then all the dancers snap their heads down and the lights go off ending the very epic and fucked up scene 3 of act 1]
Authors Note: Yes this is probably one of the most fucked up scenes of the whole play but if Gerard would ever read this, he would be proud!
