Tell Her

EVAN
Tell her you’ve thought about what happened.
Tell her you haven’t slept at night
Tell her although you made a huge mistake,
You want to make it right.

Tell her you know you aren’t perfect.
Tell her you’ve waited way too long.
Tell her you’re sorry –
Tell her you mean it.
Tell her you just were wrong.

PATRICE
Tell her she shouldn’t have ignored you
Or dissed you in front of all the school.
Tell her the minute she got “out of touch,”
You felt like such a fool.
Tell her that studying together
Was so nice you prayed it wouldn’t end.

BRETT looks up, thinks “Studying together?”, then decides, Whatever, I’ll go with it.

Say you forgive her.
Say you were jealous.
Ask if she’ll be your friend.

BRETT has run out of paper and is now trying to cram the words into the tiniest possible space on the page.

EVAN & PATRICE (oblivious to Brett) 
Tell her that people get things wrong,
‘Cause people are afraid
They won’t fit in your world
Or in your life.
But things will work out fine
If she will only listen.

PATRICE
Tell her that all you ever wanted…

EVAN
Tell her that all you ever wanted…

PATRICE
Was maybe

EVAN & PATRICE
A smile or a glance.

EVAN
Tell her you’re sorry.

PATRICE
Tell her you mean it.

EVAN & PATRICE
Ask for another chance.
Tell her you just want another chance.
