Pilgrim's Hands

SISTER CHANTELLE
Diane, do I hear a waltz in that Charleston? Why are you kicking?
Rory, I'm moving you where we can't see you. God gave you two left feet, no need to hammer the point home to the audience
And Zack: Please don't count out loud. It's like white-two-three, white-two-three
Everybody take five!

LUCAS
Just a reminder: the pharmacy closes Friday at noon. Get your orders in before then

DIANE
What pharmacy?

JASON
How's living with Lucas?

PETER
It's fine

JASON
Peter, we graduate on Sunday. Are you really never going to speak to me again? I miss you

SISTER CHANTELLE
Ok, let's run Pilgrims' Hands

KYRA
Ivy's not here, Sister Chantelle

SISTER CHANTELLE
Again?! Wonderful... Who's Juliet's understudy?

DIANE
I am!

SISTER CHANTELLE
Alright Diane... Jason...

JASON
If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To soothe that rough touch with a tender kiss

DIANE
Good pilgrim...
Good pilgrim...
Wait! I know it, I swear!
Good pilgrim...

PETER
Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much
Which mannerly devotion shows in this
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss

[ZACK laughs]

SISTER CHANTELLE
Zack, in Shakespeare's time boys played all the parts, so I'll thank you to keep your ignorance as hidden as possible. My suggestion would be to stop breathing. Jason...

JASON
Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?

PETER
Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer

JASON
O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do
They pray, grant thou...lest...lest...

PETER
...lest faith turn to despair

SISTER CHANTELLE
Well done, Peter. Ivy, nice of you to join us, but we're finished
Y'all want this dance to look like bumper cars? I ain't co-signin' on it. This room will be left open if you want to get together one more time. As for me, I'm going to do a little Pontius Pilate, and wash my hands of y'all

RORY
Guys, we really need to run this. Let's meet here tonight at seven o'clock

TANYA
All of us...and don't be late

IVY
I need to talk to you...do you not get messages?

JASON
Do you not get messages? Fine...what is it?

IVY
Not here. Come back to my room

JASON
I can't, I have to finish my speech. Look, you're coming to rehearsal tonight, right? I can't do this scene without you

IVY
It looks like you can

JASON
I'll meet you before practice

IVY
I'll come by your room

JASON
Fine

PETER
I forgot this

SISTER CHANTELLE
But you remembered all of Juliet's lines...

PETER
I helped Jason rehearse
I should go...

SISTER CHANTELLE
Sit down, we're gonna talk about what's bothering you, because this production has got to be honest. Sister Chantelle don't direct no diner theater

PETER
You wouldn't understand...

SISTER CHANTELLE
Peter, honey, I think I've been around enough priests to understand you loud, proud, and clear. Sit down

PETER
I don't know what God wants from me
