The prom is lit as everyone is dancing the night away. I see Tony dancing with Caleb on the dance floor and I also see Tyler dancing with Estela. While everyone is dancing, I'm sitting down at a table with both Alex & Jessica. Just like old times. F.M.L.
Zach Dempsey: Ooh! What is up, sexies?
Zach now joins us as he takes seat.
Alex Standall: Where's Bismillah?
Zach Dempsey: Presmilla.
Alex Standall: Oh, yes. Bismillah, that's, uh, "Bohemian Rhapsody."
Zach Dempsey: Yeah.
Alex Standall: You can see my confusion, though.
Zach Dempsey: Yes.
Hannah Baker: Where is she?
Zach Dempsey: Bathroom, again. She goes a lot.
Jessica Davis: Zach, you brought a hooker to prom, and she's probably a drug addict.
Zach Dempsey: She is an escort who is escorting me, and she drinks a lot of water 'cause she doesn't eat, so she pees a lot.
Hannah Baker: That's your idea of a good time.
Zach Dempsey: (Scoffs) Is this? You guys are sitting here like it's a fucking funeral. Aren't you gonna try to convince yourselves you're having fun?
Jessica Davis: I put a lot on the line for this, and I'm going to have a good time.
Zach Dempsey: If it kills you.
Alex Standall: Yeah.
We just sit there in silence and watch everyone dance.
Alex Standall: Are we ever gonna feel OK? Like, normally OK, ever?
Hannah Baker: I haven't felt normally OK in a long, long time.
Jessica Davis: Me either, but I'm going to find ways to be happy.
Alex Standall: (Sighs) I don't see that happening for me. He should be here. He should be alive.
Alex was talking about Bryce. After 6 months, Alex's guilt is still eating him up.
Jessica Davis: He'd be drunk. He'd be choosing his next victim and making you feel poor and lame and not a man.
Alex Standall: I'm not a man.
Hannah Baker: That's bullshit, Alex.
Alex Standall: He didn't deserve to die.
Hannah Baker: No. No, he didn't.
Zach Dempsey: But neither do we. And this, this isn't fucking living. He ruined our fucking lives, all 4 of us. So, no, he didn't deserve to die, but we deserve to live. So... if you'll excuse me... I'm gonna go dance with a whore.
Zach gets up and makes his way to the dance floor. Still can't believe he brought a hooker to prom. Where did he even find her?
While everybody is dancing, Clay is sitting down all alone as he is soon joined by Tony & Caleb who take a break from dancing.
Caleb: You look lonely.
Tony Padilla: And there's all this extra dessert here, and today is definitely a cheat day, so, hello, cheesecake.
Caleb: So, Clay, how's the night going?
Clay Jensen: I'm having a good time.
Caleb: Yeah?
