Andrews House Plays 2018 - Smells Like Impulse (1)

HEATHER

People will think we’re here by ourselves.

BUFFY

Act cool. Look deliberate.

SYD/HEATHER Yah.

They move off. The MUSICIANS have set up and launch into a grunge song. This is a big choreographed instrumental sequence in which the HOMIES line up and do some show- down type stuff with the GRUNGIES. Mid-way through this piece, just as things look like they are about to get violent, the drugged punch starts taking effect on people. Everyone starts feeling strange and a bit woozy. The music stops.

ANNALISE

I’m beginning to feel strange.

LILY

Me too. Kind of light-headed and...

SQUARE #6

Uninhibited. And...

ANNALISE

Like I want to dance. Even though...

ALL

There’s no music.

They start dancing. Everyone starts dancing without music. Suddenly DWEEZIL appears. He has transformed from SQUARE to GRUNGIE. Everyone turns around and stares.

ANNALISE

Fleur! Look! It’s ...

ALL

Dweezil??

DWEEZIL

Actually — it’s ... ‘Denzil’.

Everyone claps and says ‘right on’ etc. They approve of the change. DWEEZIL takes his place on the dance floor. Someone passes him a drink. They keep dancing. The HOMIES move forward.
