The Auditions (Transcript)

Zoe and Raphael are now starting production for their upcoming musical. So they are now auditioning actors for their play.

Raphael: So who are up on the que?

Zoe: Ugh, my cousin.

Raphael: Why? What's wrong? Why do you hate her so much.

Zoe: Back when we were directors of many school plays, Annika would always show up in auditions. Whenever I don't give her a role, her mum would like threaten me or something.

Raphael: That's not good. Anyways, just make sure she did her best and if she doesn't do well, disqualify her.

Zoe: Okay.

Zoe's cousin came in first and she is all dressed up for the role.

Zoe: You're really dressed up.

Annika: They always tell you to dress for the part that you want so I thought, why not just come in full character?

Zoe: Wow! Erm... what character are you dressed as?

Annika: Frisk. Obviously. Like if she goes on a fancy date or something.

Raphael: (whispers) Are you sure this isn't a good idea? Annika is wearing a dress and Frisk wears a dress.

Zoe: (whispers) Just let her be first. (normal voice) That's interesting, erm... I like it, I like the expression.

Annika: Hmph.

Zoe: Alright so what are you gonna be singing for us today?

Annika: Megalo Strike Back.

Zoe and Raphael: ...

Zoe: (whispers) I don't think this is Frisk's song.

Raphael: (whispers) Yeah, this is Chara's song in the Genocide route.

Annika: Because it's Undertale, I chose this song.

Raphael: Erm... that song really isn't-

Annika: The song shows up my range so...

Zoe: Did you prepare any other song?

Annika: No.

Zoe: Okay, yeah, erm... I guess we'll go with it. Erm... whenever you're ready.

Song: Megalo Strike Back by KHTLL13

Annika: #What you want is what you’re gonna get #I’m not waiting for #You to figure out #What you’ve done to cross #Me the wrong way #I don’t think that you understand! #You’ve fallen into a spiral of #Determination #And you don’t regret #Any of your actions #Why do you think #That I’m stopping you right here? #You wanted me to destroy them all #So I listened and #Helped you on your way #I was sleeping butn #You’ve awakened me #Here I am to set you free #Since when were you the one in control? #You’re a puppet just #Like the rest of them #I don’t understand #Why you’re doing this #Now there’s no one to be missed... #Falling in #You’re stuck with me forever #Don’t you think that you should  #Reset while you can, because #In just a  #Moment you’ll be #(I don’t know #What you’re #Talking about! #Gone... lost... stuck... dead... #You think that you can play the victim #Even though you know #You did this yourself... #You can’t play it off #Like an accident #This was of your own free will! #You wanted a murderer of me #And now here I stand #Ready to attack #Just like you showed me #Was the right thing to do #No matter who it is... #You were given so many options #But you chose to stay #And to slay them all #Even though they were #Helpless, and so weak #Did you even try to speak up? #I’m sure that someone could’ve helped you #From the Underground #But you didn’t try #Lashed out, out of fear #Looking for something #Feed your curiosity...  #Don’t you think that I... #Might have some feeling in my heart...? #It’s pointless... to believe you #Have the time... to convince me... #When... will... this... end... ? #What you want is what you’re gonna get #I’m not waiting for #You to figure out #What you’ve done to cross #Me the wrong way #I don’t think that you understand! #You’ve fallen into a spiral of #Determination #And you don’t regret #Any of your actions #Why do you think #That I’m stopping you right here?#

Raphael: Okay.

Zoe: Yeah yeah, we're good.

Raphael: Okay, erm...

Zoe: Okay, we're good. Thank you.

Raphael: (whispers) Oh my god.

Zoe: Good job.

Annika: Thanks.

Raphael: Good job.

Annika: How did I do? Was it good? Did you like it? Did I get Frisk?

Zoe: Now I'm going to be honest. Erm... I don't feel like that song was entirely appropriate for their character when you're auditioning for Frisk. But you have a good, erm... big range.

Annika: Who'd I get? Who am I cast as now?

Raphael: Erm... well we're still deciding. We still have other auditions to go through today so...

Annika: Oh, you 2 don't know? Oh... I just thought like, you know, because I showed my whole range so-

Zoe: We'll have the cast list posted... Friday evening. Erm-

Annika: Yeah, okay, that's cool.

Raphael: Yeah, erm... thanks for coming out. We'll erm... we'll be in touch.

Annika left which left Zoe and Raphael talking to each other before the next person comes.

Raphael: Do you think that you'll cast her as Frisk?

Zoe: I don't think so, Frisk's range is supposed to be soft and angelic. Not wide.

Raphael: Okay. Erm... next!

The next actor came in. He's blonde and is a teenager.

Tommy: Hi, I'm Tommy and I'll audition for Frisk.

Zoe: Sure. So what song did you prepare?

Tommy: Frisk's Promise.

Raphael: That song is in the musical so good choice.

Zoe: Now you can sing.

Song: Frisk's Promise by Echo Flower Productions

Tommy: #In that world up above #Where the sun shines down #They told us the stories of #The monsters underground #They said up in our world #Monsters could not belong #But I couldn’t help but wonder if #What they thought was wrong #So I swore to myself one day #The solemn promise that I made #I’d climb up Ebbot’s mountain peak #To discover the world beneath #I’d stay both determined and strong #To see if I could prove them wrong #I’d climb the trail, hoping to know #The truth of that strange world below #So on this fateful day #I thought of what I learned #I know that those who climb Mt. Ebbot #Are said to not return #Determination drove me #Call it foolishness or chance #So as I climbed the mountain trail #I walked without a backwards glance #Followed the trail as I fell down #And found myself here Underground #At first I felt lost and afraid #But held to the promise I made #I stayed both determined and strong #Monsters aren’t bad, they all were wrong. #But I can’t stay in this world below #I just want to go home#

Zoe: You have a nice voice.

Tommy: Thank you.

Raphael: We'll be in touch, the results will be posted on Friday evening. You can go now.

Tommy: Thanks.

Zoe: Next!

After Tommy went out, another person came into the audition room. He is also a teenager but he's wearing a buzz cut.

Jack: I'm Jack and I'll audition for Chara.

Zoe: Okay, so what song will you be showing us?

Jack: Star.

Raphael: That'll also be in our musical. So, you may sing.

Song: Star by Echo Flower Productions

Jack: #Distant starlight #Trapped in the night #Far below #I heard them calling #Angels banished from the sky #No one had heard their cries #Losing all their hopes and dreams #Thanks to humanity #Fallen so far #Like a lost star #Hold on to #Determination #I’ve heard the call #Will we all fall #Perhaps we’ll #Find liberation#

Raphael: Wow chills, literal chills.

Zoe: That was pretty good Jack.

Jack: Thank you.

Raphael: You may go now.

Jack left the audition room and a blob came into the room.

Zoe: Who are you?

Dream: I'm Dream.

Raphael: Thought you'd be taller in real life.

Dream: Yeah.

Zoe: Anyways, who will you be auditioning for?

Dream: Flowey.

Raphael: Okay, sing us a song.
