Heathers: JDs point of vieuw.

Beautiful

JASON "JD" DEAN:
September 1st, 1989. Greetings and salutations!
We're on the road again, to Sherwood, Ohio.
...hooray!
First day of senior year, and.. I'm at a new school, again.

KIDS:
Freak! Slut! Burnout! Bug-Eyes! Poser! Lard-ass!

JD:
I was so tiny, happy and shiny,
All of that went lost in haste.

KIDS:
Freak! Slut! Loser! Shortbus!

JD:
Blowing up buildings,
Instead of building,
My dad really isn't great.

KIDS:
Bull-dyke! Stuck-up! Hunchback!

JD:
And it all got worse,
When I just saw her,
In there, a smile on her face.

(A second of silence for JDs mom. 💔)

Walking in this school,
This ain't no high school,
This is a thunderdome.

Walk around,
No familiar face,
Just kids that don't seem nice.

KIDS:
White trash!

JD:
next school will be paradise,
I just hope that it's soon!
And I know, I know,
Life isn't beautiful.
I pray,
I pray for a better way.
It all changed back then,
Could it change again?
Could it be beautiful...?

(A PREPPY STUD knocks a HIPSTER DORK to the floor.)

HIPSTER DORK:
[Spoken.] Ow!

JD:
Probs not today. (DONT ASK.)

(JD looks over to VERONICA)

VERONICA:
Hey, are you okay?

HIPSTER DORK:
Get away, nerd.

KIDS:
Freak! Slut! Cripple! Homo! Homo! Homo!

Don't know who that was,
She seemed quite nice, uh
I could say hi or..
Walk away?
Cant use distractions,
Have no exceptions.
Maybe I could blow this town?
Almost lunchtime,
Yeah! Walk away.
..there she is again.

(VERONICA jostles RAM SWEENEY.)

RAM:
[Spoken.] Watch it!

VERONICA and JD:
Fight the urge to strike a match
and send this dump ablaze!

(RAM upends VERONICA'S lunch tray.)

RAM:
Ooooops.

VERONICA:
[Spoken.] Ram Sweeney. Third year as linebacker. And eighth year of smacking lunch trays and BEING A HUGE DICK.

RAM:
What did you say to me skank?

VERONICA:
... Nothing.

JD;
But I know, I know, I know,
Life isn't beautiful.
I pray,
I pray for a better way.
It all changed back then,
Could it change again?
Could it be beautiful...?

(RAM approaches.)

JD:
Agh!... who are you?

RAM:
Hey.

Ram Sweeney, I've been quarterback for THREE YEARS.

JD:
Yeah.. I heard,
..why are you telling me this?

RAM:
Your new, aren't you?

JD,:
Yeah.. is there anything wrong with that..?

RAM:
Whatever, I'm just gonna go to my buddy KURT.

KURT:
Martha Dumptruck! Wide load! Honnnnnk!

(KURT KELLY knocks the tray from MARTHA'S hands.)

VERONICA:
Kurt Kelly. Quarterback. He is the smartest guy on the football team. Which is kind of like being the tallest dwarf.
(Furious, to KURT) Hey! Pick that up right now!
