Rehearsal Drama (Transcript)

The drama continues as Zoe and Raphael continues to talk to Derrick's mum.

Zoe: We told your son to leave because he was going around telling people that he was the new assistant director-

Karen: Is that not his position?

Raphael: No, it's not. It's mine.

Karen: Well, my son should be the assistant director if you're not gonna give him Frisk, the lead.

Zoe: That is not how that works at all-

Karen: I don't understand why this is even an issue. Hmm, maybe it's the favourites? I dunno.

Raphael: We are not playing favourites. Your son-

Karen: There's no other reason. You 2 have something against my son and his family.

Zoe: We have nothing against you or your family. I will not give your son assistant director.

Karen: My son-

Raphael: No, he will not be assistant director. I already am.

Derrick: Mum, seriously, it's fine. I just need to be on tech-

Karen: Sweetie, do not settle for less. This is a business and you have to fight for your roles and the parts that you want.

Zoe: You don't fight for a role you didn't get.

Karen: And look, now my son, his drive, is being crushed by the both of you. By poor directors. Remember that, hun, poor directors-

Raphael: You don't understand how much it took our parents to be successful on West End. They were immigrants, Zoe's parents are from the Philippines and my parents are from Hong Kong. You know how poor the Philippines is right now and you don't even care?

Karen: Then you kids must be really poor and you only came to the UK to have a good life. No wonder why many stage managers won't qualify you except the 'uncle.'

Zoe: I was born here.

Raphael: If you have a problem with us as directors, then leave. If you think that our directing is so poor or you're saying that because Zoe's from a developing country and that this show is so terrible, you are more than welcome to take your son and exit the theatre.

Karen: We're not going anywhere at this point, the show needs us. Because we're the only reason why anyone would come to this show.

Zoe: What about my parents? What about Raphael's parents?

Raphael: I'm sure we can get along just fine without you-

Karen: You have no right to speak to me that way. We have not done anything-

Zoe: What is this? What is this right now?

Karen: I am trying to have a mature conversation with you 2 and you are refusing-

Raphael: You are standing in here causing a scene. At this point, if you think I'm gonna give your son-

Karen: Assistant director is what my son will hold.

Zoe: No, no. Raphael holds that position-

Karen: My son is going to be a part of this show.

Raphael: Will you let us speak? Will you let us say one word? Because all you do is interrupt-

Karen: I have not interrupted you-

Zoe: You just did-

Derrick: Mum, really, it's fine, I just need to do a position on tech. I literally don't even care what I am at this point.

Karen: Hun, let me handle this.

Raphael: Listen-

Karen: No-

Zoe: You're gonna listen to us for the first time. We require a certain level or maturity and respect to those who are in our shows and so far your son and definitely you have not been able to show an ounce of either of those things. I get that you want your son to have success in theatre. I get that. I think he has a lot of potential but if you ever want him to have any sort of success, you need to teach him how to be respectful and accept the parts that he's been given. And you need to be respectful as well. Now both of you, get out.

Later at rehearsals, the actors and actresses are going to run Hopes and Dreams and the scene before His Theme/Ghost Of You.

Freddie: That’s my brother, Frisk.

Tommy: Wait a sec... It can't be...

Toby: Finally... I am so tired of being a flower... Chara? Are you there?

Tommy: Are you... who are you?

Freddie: Asriel, it’s me, Chara.

Toby: Don't you remember me? It's your best friend...

Oli: ASRIEL DREEMURR!

Tommy: It... It can't be…

Song: Hopes And Dreams by Radix and Man On The Internet

Oli: #Now hold on #To the dreams #You created #For a happy life #It's alright #All the things #We sought for #So long will all be worth this fight #I will not #Destroy this world #I control time #Chara, you'll be mine! #Your progress, your memories #Will be reset #We'll do it all over #Chara, you won't forget! #The best part? I know you'll do it #Then you'll lose to me again #Lose again, over and over #That's what you'll do for your best friend #'Cause you want a happy ending #You love your friends, who could blame you? #You're filled with determination #Chara-#

Tommy: #That is not my name!#

Oli: #We'll be here fighting together #Playing for eternity #The strength that let you get this far #It's nothing compared to me! #I feel your determination #I feel their hopes and dreams #They give me the strength to be here #Fighting for eternity! #I've messed around with #3You for far too long #Let's purge this time again #Come with me, Chara #Come with your best friend-#

Tommy: #That is not my name!#

Oli: #Stop trying to live #Stop all the dodging #Stop standing in my way! #Please let me win #For once in your life-#

Tommy: #Chara is not my name!#

Oli: #You think you are something special #You're just a kid playing pretend #Don't get cocky, little Chara #Soon enough you'll meet your end!#

Tommy and Freddie: #You think you are something special #You're just a kid playing pretend #Don't get cocky now Asriel #Soon enough you'll meet your end!#

Oli: #You think that you could ever #Defeat me? #No, my friend, we'll be fighting #For eternity #You have lost everything #Your hopes and dreams #Are sure to fail you #Here at eternity#

Tommy and Oli: #We will never let go of #Our hopes and dreams #We will never give up #For all eternity!#

Oli: #But I've been holding back on you 'til now #Let's see if you can survive this! #Die! #For me!# Don't you understand, Chara? I am the god of hyperdeath! IT'S KILL OR BE KILLED! AND EVERYONE WILL DIE AT MY HAND! Why are you still standing? WHY ARE YOU STILL TRYING TO STOP ME, CHARA?

Tommy: My name… is Frisk! #In my heart #There's something strong #That will keep me #Moving on! #In my hopes #Proof that my #Happy days #Will never be gone!#

Tommy, Hannah, Tina, Karl, Alex, Phil, Kristin, Eret: #Here we are #Here we stand #Fight together again #Our hopes and dreams #Will not fail #We will find our happy end #We've come far #Here we are #To reach what we idealise #It has been tough #But we won't give up #For a new day is on the rise#

Tommy: #Asriel, please do not quail #You have walked a lonesome trail #Peace and love will sure prevail #Help me end this sorry tale#

Toby: #Deep inside, I feel a fire #Burns within me ever higher #Knowing I will soon prevail #Knowing I can end this tale#

Tommy and Toby: #In every dream there is a chance #We grabbed at it at our first glance #Life plays the song, we make the dance #It's been like this forever! #Following our hopes and dreams #When nothing is quite what it seems #But life keeps flowing like a stream #So let's stay together! #Time to open up our eyes #Time to see who we really are #I won't give up the chance to save you #And we know we can go far #I heard the tales they told to me #This happy ending cannot be #Let's go together, we shall see #Together for eternity!#

Oli: What's this feeling...? What's happening to me? No! NO! I don't need ANYONE!

Tommy: Asriel, I know you won’t listen but I can help you solve your problems.

Freddie: That’s right brother.

Oli: STOP IT! Get away from me! Do you hear me!? I'll tear you apart!

Tommy: But listen, I wasn't here to hurt you, I just want to SAVE you.

Oli: Chara... Do you know why I'm doing this...? Because you're special, you're the only one that understands me and who's any fun to play with... No... That's not JUST it. I... I... I'm doing this because I care about you... I'm not ready for this to end. I'm not ready for you to leave... I'm not ready to say goodbye to someone like you again…

Freddie: I am Chara, not him.

Tommy: Asriel, I know you have something good inside of you, please just stay Determined like Asgore told me.

Toby: Chara... (feeling sad) I'm so alone, I'm so afraid... Chara... I... (crying) I'm so sorry...

Tommy: Well... I'm not Chara.

Freddie: I’m Chara.

Toby: I know... (sniffing) So... what is your name?

Tommy: My name is Frisk.

Toby: Frisk? That's... that's a really nice name. Frisk... I... I haven't felt like this for a very long time. As a flower, I was soulless. I lacked the power to love other people. I couldn't feel anything about anyone. It was horrible. I tried to kill myself. I succeeded.

Tommy: But you're still here, aren't you? If you don't have a soul, what happens when you die?

Toby: I don't know. I felt apprehensive. I woke up, like it was all a bad dream, right back where we started. I did this again and again, doing everything I could, being good... being bad... but I still couldn't feel it.

Tommy: But then... I came along.

Toby: Someone more determined than me... I could predict everyone, but I could never predict someone like you. Now... with everyone's souls inside me... I not only have my compassion back...

Tommy: Every other monster's compassion is in there as well. They all care about each other so much.

Toby: And they care about you too, Frisk, even you Chara. ... I wish I could tell you how everyone feels about you. Papyrus... Sans... Undyne... Alphys... Asgore and Toriel.

Tommy: True, monsters are weird. Even though they barely know me...

Toby: They all love you. ... Frisk, I... I understand if you can't forgive me. I understand if you hate me. I acted so strange and horrible. I hurt you.

Tommy: You hurt a lot of people.

Freddie: Friends, family, bystanders...

Toby: There's no excuse for what I've done…

Bill: Really good, that's so emotional. I almost cried.

Toby: Yeah, thanks.

Aimee: Your acting was so good.

Tommy: Oh and Tubbo is actually crying.

Ranboo: Really? Poor thing.

Toby: I'm fine actually.

Oli: Getting to be one of the actors to portray Asriel is so cool.

Toby: And you're also my understudy.

Oli: Yeah.

Wilbur: You guys have the same hairstyle so no one is able to tell if Asriel is portrayed by Tubbo or Oli.

Oli: I just have a deeper voice and I'm older. Older than Tubbo by a year.

Toby: Yeah.

Eryn: You guys are so awesome, wish I played Frisk right now but I'm just an understudy.

Freddie: You will do Frisk in case Tommy passes out because of low blood pressure.

Tommy: Seriously? You don't even know how many times I passed out and how many understudies I've had my entire life.

Eryn: You passed out on stage many times.

Toby: Yeah, you literally passed out while we were rehearsing for Les Miserables. We had to take you to the nurse's office because of that.

Phil: Anyways, we're getting comfortable with each other. Look at how strong are bonds are compared to after we first auditioned.

Tommy: I know right.

Wilbur: Yeah.

Toby: I'm also getting more comfortable with hugs.

Tommy: Oh you fun-sized human.

Toby: Hey!

Tommy hugged Tubbo way too tight.

Toby: Too tight, big man, too tight.

Tommy: Sorry.

Ranboo: Aww 2 best friends hugging each other.

Aimee: We're all friends, huh?

Ranboo: Yeah.

Beau: This is the best show I've ever done in my life. Well, the only show I've done in my life.

Phil: Maybe we should try to run Asgore first.

Tommy: Oh yes.

Sam: You guys haven't used the ensemble yet, I'm in.

Everyone is in their positions as they run Asgore.

Song: ASGORE by Man On The Internet and Radix

Phil: #So much blood, so much pain #I will lose a son again #Oh, dear child, I'm sorry #Now you face the mountain king!# Human, it was nice meeting you, goodbye. #This will be the last SOUL we need #I will not accept your MERCY #With your pain, the barrier breaks #And we shall be free!#

Tommy: #From now on, there is no escape #I can’t lie, I will miss this place#

Phil and Tommy: #But our hearts will always remember #Your friendly face#

Ensemble: #Bergentrückung #He sits on his throne #He waits for this day #He has waited alone!#

Phil: #Can't hold back #My breath is all gone #My vision is blurred #I'm asking myself #What have I done?#

Tommy: #The pain I have caused #The friends I have left #I broke all the walls #There is no way back#

Ensemble: #The pain you have caused #The friends you have left #You broke all the laws #No escaping death#

Phil and Ensemble: #Did you change their lives? #Did you make it worth it? #Did you enjoy your time?#

Tommy: #Did I change their lives #Did I made it worth it #We had our good times #And suddenly I must go!#

Ensemble: #We wish you could stay #At least one more day #Would that be okay?#

Ensemble, Tommy and Phil: #We cannot delay! #It's hard to decide #For after this fight #Someone has to die#

Philand Tommy: #And I hate to say goodbye!#

Ensemble and Phil: #Should you embrace this last chance that I have?#

Tommy: #Should I erase the only chance I have? #Should I erase these people from my past?#

Ensemble: #Should you erase all the ghosts in your past?#

Tommy and Ensemble: #Maybe it was meant to happen #And we should stay around#

Phil: #Could have been a human #And still lived underground #If we could be family #Walk through the town #See my dear Toriel #And head home right now!#

Tommy: #Wait #Maybe I’m just dreaming #But if I have trouble waking up #Then it means that I am underground sleeping #And there is no way up!#

Phil: #And when this fight is over #We will see the sun!#

Tommy: #And even when this battle is over #I'll probably be laying in my bed #And the memories I carry from my slumber #They will all be worthwhile #They will all make me smile#

Ensemble: #And the memories you have made here #They will all be worthwhile! #They will make us smile!#

Phil: #Farewell, fallen child! #For tonight, the monsters #Have won!#

Just as Phil and Tommy were done rehearsing, Derrick interrupted.

Derrick: Erm... what's going on?

Phil: What?

Derrick: Are you guys practising the fight scene between Asgore and Frisk?

Phil: Please tell me that you guys are not also seeing him standing there right now. Please tell me this is just a bad dream.

Derrick: Erm...

Dream: I'm not bad.

George: Dream, you're just a blob.

Phil: Why are you here? There's no reason why you should be here. The directors told you to leave.

Derrick: I can be here if I want to be because the directors actually made me an usher-techie.

Phil: When did the directors tell you that you're an usher? There's no way that you're an usher-

Derrick: And I can't believe that the directors made you Asgore so I guess we're in the same boat. I have every right to be here.

Phil: Regardless, then you come in opening night. You're not supposed to be here right now.

Derrick: Well, I'm actually here to map the theatre so I can be at rehearsal.

Phil: What is there to map? It's three aisles.

Derrick: Whatever, whatever. Anyways-

Toby: Erm...

Derrick: Why are you trying to rehearse the most emotional scenes? I thought it'll just be plain comedy.

Karl: Just over Sans and Papyrus? Oh please.

Phil: Stop. Stop.

Alex: Musicals have dark themes you know.

Phil: You're not even in this show.

Derrick: That doesn't matter.

Tommy: You're the guy who tried to find my jumper but failed. Are you trying to steal my jumper or something.

Derrick: No, it's fine. Listen, we need to practise only the comedy parts because people might be overwhelmed by the emotional parts of this musical.

Derrick was about to reveal his audition outfit when Phil stopped him.

Phil: Ahh! Oh no, no, no.

Derrick: I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to the ladies.

Aimee: I'm good.

Phil: There is no reason for you to be here. Get out. Go take some of your little 'talent' somewhere else.

Derrick: Frisk, do you have a problem with me or something? Because you're looking at me really weird.

Tommy: Me? What? What did I do?

Derrick: I'm just wondering what your problem with me is.

Tommy: Me? I don't have a problem with you, man.

Derrick: Like what is your issue with me? You're just as mean to me and you glare at me.

Tommy: I didn't say or do anything. I'm just standing here.

Derrick: You literally got the part. You got Frisk, you got the lead. Why are you being mean to me? There's no reason to be so jealous of me.

Tommy: Why are you trying to fight with me for no reason?

Derrick: I'm not picking a fight with you, I'm defending myself.

Tommy: I haven't said any-

Derrick: I'm standing up for myself because even though I may have been kicked out of the cast for personal reasons. Favouritism, by the directors. I'm still gonna work as hard as I can to get rid of all negativity in this cast and honestly that starts with you, Frisk. It starts with you.

Tommy: Negativity?

Freddie: Hey, you leave Frisk alone. He hasn't done anything to you-

Tommy: Yeah, yeah, okay, the only negativity that's been in this cast has been you. So if you need to, work to get rid of it, work on yourself.

Derrick: All you constantly do is just go around talk about how you're Frisk all the time.

Tommy: I've never bragged about being Frisk, I'm just doing my part like you should've done yours.

Derrick: Everyone gets it. Like honestly, you're literally the reason why I got kicked out of the show in the first place because I had to stand up and do something against your negativity and massive ego.

Toby: Hey, don't talk about Frisk like that. Frisk hasn't done anything to you.

Derrick: What?

Oli: We've been rehearsing together and I haven't even seen him talk to you-

Derrick: Guys, I'm defending myself, you-

Kristin: There's no reason to come at him.

Derrick: I'm not being mean to Frisk, it's just that his ego is massive.

Niki: Stop. He doesn't have a big ego, he's really nice. He helped us a lot.

Derrick: I'm not doing anything but defending myself.

Aimee: All we know is that you're yelling at Frisk and that's annoying.

Ranboo: Yeah, yeah.

Derrick: (laughs) Erm... if you're trying to make a joke, it's not funny like it's okay we're not all comedically talented like me but-

George: Why don't you listen to the Asriels, Toriel, Dogaressa, Temmie and understudy Napstablook since you don't hear anything either of us says?

Derrick: I don't need your input-

Cara: You need to relax, like actually.

Derrick: Tommy has been so mean to me because he's so jealous and now you? Like they've turned you against me too?

Tommy: Why would I be jealous over a groomer?

Beau: Why would anyone be jealous of a groomer? You're just being so weird on all the young actresses here. You need to stop because this is weird.

Bill: Yeah, what she said.

Derrick: He's been so rude to me. He's rubbed it in my face that he's Frisk all the time.

Tommy: I've never.

Dream: He hasn't done anything but be nice to everyone.

Derrick: Why are you guys taking his side on this?

Darryl: You're just standing here and yelling.

Derrick: I'm not yelling, I'm defending myself against all the negativity.

Ponk: We're just trying to practise our lines and you're in here yelling for no reason.

Derrick: But I thought-

Nick: We don't know why you're so mad.

Derrick: Ugh, you just go around defending that blonde child and all the girls in your play. Can't you see how Frisk's treats me badly?

Tommy: If anyone has been mean to you, nobody asked.

Eryn: It's not like you don't deserve it.

Tommy: You're gonna come for me when all you've done is groom young actresses. You are so jealous, even still, that you didn't get 'Frisk.' Get over it.

Bill: Yeah, stop.

Derrick: You're just saying this because you want to defend the poor and vulnerable child here, that's what it is-

Tina: You need to get outta here-

Toby: Yeah, we want to practise our lines.

Derrick: What about me? Like you wanna practise with me-

Oli: We are not practising any scene with you. I'm supposed to be hanging out with people who are my co-stars.

Derrick: That doesn't-

Luke: It's weird how you're yelling at us and getting so angry-

Derrick: That's not true. you're just being that- you're just being this way right now because of Frisk. That's what it is, that's what it is. It's because of Frisk. Frisk! It's because of him so I'll be in the hallway and I'll see all of you after rehearsal. Including the ladies.

Toby: The hell?

After rehearsal, all of the actors and actresses are in the hallway with Derrick.

Derrick: So, I need to talk to all of you.

Toby: What's up?

Derrick: We're practising the finale right? Toby, I know that you couldn't tell me that you actually wanted to practise the hug scene with me because you were with Frisk. But now that all of you are here, maybe I should do something to him, if you want.

Tommy: You are not grooming Tubbo.

Derrick: He has to say, 'yes.' Toby, do you want to practise the hug scene with me? I mean, just in case like, maybe I have to go on opening night. Like in case something might happen to Frisk, I don't know.

Eryn: Tommy has low blood pressure, I can go on for him because I'm the understudy.

Derrick: Nobody wants a n-

Ponk: Oi! Don't call Eryn that!

Derrick: What do you mean?

Ponk: You sick white man-

Derrick: I'm Mexican.

Alex: The hell? I'm also Mexican, I would never say that.

Ponk: Well, you sick Mexican man, not referring to you, Quackity. You shouldn't have the right to say 'n' words because it belongs to us Africans.

Derrick: Fine, whatever. But if I can't groom any of you, nobody can.

Aimee: Geez, why do you want to groom all of us so badly? That's not right.

Ranboo: His youngest victim was 9.

Aimee: The hell? That's so messed up.

Tommy: I really hope he won't mess up opening night. Let's make sure nothing goes wrong. Who's with me?

Everyone raised their hands.

Tommy: That's right. Let's do this guys!

Wilbur: Liking the big man's confidence.

Niki: Yeah.
