Veronica [Falando]
September 1st, 1989. Dear Diary
I believe I'm a good person
Ya know, I think there's good in everyone
but here we are first day of senior year
I look around at all these kids
I've known all my life and I ask myself
What happened?
Alunos
Freak! Slut! Burnout! Bug-Eyes! Poser! Lard Ass!
Veronica
We were so tiny, happy and shiny
playing tag and getting chased
Alunos
Freak! Slut! Loser! Shortbus!
Veronica
Singing and clapping
laughing and napping
baking cookies, eating paste
Alunos
Bull-dyke! Stuck-up! Hunchback!
Veronica
Then we got bigger
That was the trigger
Like the Huns invading Rome
[Falando] Sorry!
Welcome to my school
This ain't no high school
This is the Thunderdome
Hold your breath
and count the days
we're graduating soon
Alunos
White trash!
Veronica
College will be paradise
If I'm not dead by June!
But I know, I know, life can be beautiful
I pray, I pray for a better way
If we changed back then
we could change again
We can be beautiful
Hipster [Falando]
Ow!
Veronica
Just not today
[Falando] Hey, are you okay?
Hipster
Get away, nerd
Alunos
Freak! Slut! Cripple! Homo! Homo! Homo!
Veronica
Things will get better
soon as my letter
comes from Harvard, Duke, or Brown
Wake from this coma
take my diploma
then I can blow this town
Dream of my ivy-covered walls
and smoky French cafes
Ram [Falando]
Watch it!
Veronica
Fight the urge to strike a match
and send this dump ablaze!
Ram
OOps
Veronica [Falando]
Ram Sweeney. Third year as linebacker
And eighth year of smacking lunch trays
and Being A Huge Dick
Ram
What did you say to me skank?
Veronica
Nothing
Veronica & Alunos
But I know, I know, I know
Life can be beautiful
I pray, I pray, I pray
For a better way
We were kind before
we can be kind once more
We can be beautiful
Veronica
Ah! ... Hey Martha
Martha
Hey
Veronica
Martha Dunnstock. My best friend since diapers
Martha
Are we on for movie night?
Veronica
Yeah, you're on Jiffy Pop detail
Martha
I rented "The Princess Bride. "
Veronica
Again? Don't you have it memorized by now?
Martha
What can I say? I'm a sucker for a happy ending
Kurt
Martha Dumptruck! Wide load! Honnk!
Veronica
Kurt Kelly. Quarterback
He is the smartest guy on the football team
Which is kind of like being the tallest dwarf
Hey! Pick that up right now!
Kurt
I'm sorry, are you actually talking to me?
Veronica
Yeah, I am. Yeah, I wanna know
what gives you the right to pick on my friend?
You're a high school has-been waiting to happen
A future gas station attendant
Kurt
You got a zit right there
Veronica & Alunos
Dear Diary
Why do they hate me?
Why don't I fight back?
Why do I act like such a creep?
Why won't he date me?
Why did I hit him?
Why do I cry myself to sleep?
Somebody hug me!
Somebody fix me!
Somebody save me!
Send me a sign, God!
Give me some hope here!
Something to live for!
Alunos
Ah! ... Heather, Heather, and Heather!
Veronica
[Falando.] Then there's the Heathers
They float above it all
Alunos
(Repetindo.) I love Heather, Heather, and Heather
Veronica
Heather Mcnamara. Head cheerleader
Her dad's loaded - he sells engagement rings
Alunos
I hate Heather, Heather, and Heather!
Veronica
Heather Duke. Runs the yearbook
No discernible personality
but her mom did pay for implants
Alunos
I want Heather, Heather, and Heather!
Veronica
And Heather Chandler. The Almighty
Alunos
I need Heather, Heather, and Heather
Veronica
She is a mythic bitch. They are solid Teflon
never bothered, never harassed
I would give anything to be like that
Hipster
I'd like to be their boyfriend
Alunos
That would be beautiful
Garota
If I sat at their table, guys would notice me
Alunos
So beautiful
Martha
I'd like them to be nicer
Alunos
That would be beautiful
Geek
I'd like to kidnap a Heather
and photograph her naked in an abandoned warehouse
and leave her tied up for the rats!
Heather Chandler
Grow up, Heather. Bulimia is so '87
Heather Mcnamara
Maybe you should see a doctor, Heather
Heather Duke
Yeah, Heather. Maybe I should
Sra. Fleming
Ah, Heather and Heather
and Heather
Perhaps you didn't hear the bell over all the vomiting
You're late for class
Heather Chandler
Heather wasn't feeling well. We're helping her
Sra. Fleming
Not without a hall pass you're not. A week's detention
Veronica
Actually, Ms. Fleming
all four of us are out on a hall pass
Yearbook committee
Sra. Fleming
I see you're all listed
Hurry up and get where you're going
Heather Chandler
This is an excellent forgery. Who are you?
Veronica
Veronica Sawyer. I crave a boon
Heather Chandler
What boon?
Veronica
Let me sit at your table at lunch. Just once
No talking necessary
If people think you guys tolerate me
they'll leave me alone
Before you answer, I also do report cards
permission slips and absence notes
Heather Duke
How about prescriptions?
Heather Chandler
Shut up, Heather
Heather Duke
Sorry, Heather
Heather Chandler
For a greasy little nobody
you do have good bone structure
Heather Mcnamara
And a symmetrical face
If I took a meat cleaver down the center of your skull
I'd have matching halves. That's very important
Heather Duke
Of course, you could stand to lose a few pounds
Heather Chandler
And ya know, ya know, ya know?
This could be beautiful
Mascara, maybe some lip gloss
and we're on our way
Get this girl some blush
And Heather, I need your brush
Let's make her beautiful
Heather Mcnamara
Let's make her beautiful
Heather Duke
Let's make her beautiful
Heather Chandler
Make her beautiful
Okay?
Veronica
Okay!
Kurt
Out of my way geek!
Geek
I don't want any trouble
Ram
You're gonna die at 3pm!
Garotas
Don't you dare touch me! Get away, pervert!
Geek
What'd I ever do to them?
Alunos
Who could survive this?
I can't escape this!
I think I'm dying!
Sra. Fleming
Who's that with Heather?
(The Heathers enter again...)
Alunos
Whoa. Heather, Heather, Heather
Garota
And... someone!
Alunos
Heather, Heather, Heather
Treinador
And a babe!
Alunos
Heather, Heather, Heather
Martha
Veronica?
Alunos
Veronica? Veronica? Veronica?
Veronica & Alunos
And ya know
ya know, ya know
life can be beautiful
You hope, you dream, you pray
and you get your way!
Ask me how it feels
looking like hell on wheels
My God, it's beautiful!
And when you're beautiful
It's a beautiful frickin' day!
Alunos
Heather... Veronica!
Heather! Heather!
Heather... Veronica!
Veronica
Veronica! Veronica!
Alunos
Veronica! Veronica!
