Taavi (to Chris): Do you know the song "Kui kungla rahvase”
Chris: You mean the song (bla-bla)
David: No, no, it goes like this.
(Goes to Lucy, bows.)
David: My fair lady, could I have this dance?
Lucy: Do you mean our national dance "kaerajaan?"
David: Yeah, that’s the one
(Awkward dance, everybody are clapping their hands and giggling.singing but sitting down finally.)
Sarah (to David): We’re out of cider what are we having next?
David: Something special. Have a look - a pure Estonian vodka-made from the finest grain growing on Estonian fields. And it wasn’t cheap - about 100 kroones.
John: And what is that in euros?
David: ‘Bout 7 euros, I guess. I had to spend all the money I robbed from the eight graders.
Joey (crawling): Oo, I wish I were like you when I grow up!!!!
Lisa (to John): How are you doing? Is everything all right?
Chris: Wazzaq!
Joey: Gimme. (reaches for something)
Lucy : What did he take?
Sarah: I don’t know, all there is?
David (laughing loudly): He is wasted.
Kristiina: I want the same stuff he had. (laughs and points at John)
(Everybody is quiet for a while. Characters sit around and drink something.)
David (with emphasis): This is so lame. Let’s go somewhere else.
(Everybody starts leaving. JOHN still lies passed out on the ground.)
David (kicking JOHN with his foot): Come on, get your lazy ass up.
Chris (starting to wonder why John does not move and bends down to her): Heeey, heeey! Do you hear me?
Lisa (careless): Is he ok?
(Lisa tries to find John’s pulse.)
Joey: Let’s just leave him. He’ll be fine later on.
Lisa: I can’t feel his pulse!
Sarah: Are you sure?
Lucy: Is he breathing?
Lisa: No!
Lucy: Let's just leave him here, he'll be fine.
Lisa: Are you sure? Maybe he's dead?
(Everybody freeze).
Second scene
(Stage is darkened, John is lying on the stage wrapped into a white sheet. Heartbeat sounds. 3 chaws sitting on chairs in the police station. - Inspector 1 and Inspector 2 are questioning them.)
Inspector 1 (angry and threatening): What were you doing in the park so late in the evening? You are underage and are not allowed to stay out after 11!
David (can barely talk): It’s a-a-a-a misunderstanding, I was just coming from the library. I don’t even know those people.
Inspector 2 (to Joey): What were you drinking?
Joey: It wasn’t me, I told them not to, but they didn’t listen to me. They are wasted, I wouldn’t waste my time on them, I going to be somebody you know.
Inspector 1 (angrily to Lisa): And you left your friend behind, don’t you kids care about anything?
Lisa (in tears): I wanted to really, but ...
(Stage goes black)
Third Scene
(School corridor a few days later. Students in groups greeting, chatting etc. Comes John. Awkward silence, everybody are staring and are waiting. Lisa steps out from the crowd.)
Lisa (touches him softly): Hi, how are you, are you ok?
John: It was tough but now I'm pretty much ok already.
Lisa: I feel so bad about what happened. Can you forgive me?
John : Let’s just forget it and move on!
(Chatting quietly.)
David (stepping closer): Hey-hey- you two. Cut it out, there are other people here too!! (Shakes John’s hand)
David: Look who’s back from the dead. Are you ready for the next round in the evening? This is definitely going to be something awesome.
John: Aren’t you sick of the life you are living? Drinking, partying, etc. you are pathetic!
David: Ou, ou, ou, slow down man. You wanted to be one of my gang, remember (points to his friends).
John (to the gang): How can you put up with this, don’t you have anything better to do than follow this ape here!?
David: Those fussies don't have a brain of their own. They are nothing without me
Chris (frowns): Wait a second, are you saying that I’m somekind of a braindonor?
Kristiina (disappointed): How can you say so, I thought that we were friends!?
Joey (Moves over to the other side): You said that we can always come to you when we are in trouble??
Sarah: I wasn’t fussy then when you asked me to do your French essay!?
Lucy: What about our secret? (reaches out for David’s hand)
(David is confused at first but then moves closer to John and pushes him)
DAVID: It’s none of your god damn business how I pick my friends, you cannot even hold bottle of beer down, you drink like a woman. Take a hike!!
