Jack (to his dates): Hey, whoa, whoa I couldn't decide who to go with so I went with all of you. Is that so bad?


(JACK gets a shoe thrown at him.)


Alex: Well I figured that was going to happen.


Wendy: I know, me too. I'm so happy to be back in Baltimore. I miss it here.


Alex: I miss you being here. Baltimore itself misses you being here.


Rian: Hey the DJ's going to play a slow song.


Wendy: Ale did you practice slow dancing?


Alex: No, did you?


Wendy: Nope.


(A slow song comes on and everyone slow dances.)


Zack: Looks like you guys didn't need practice

.

(The slow song ends.)


The DJ: Can I get Alex, Jack, Rian, and Zack up here please?


(ALEX, JACK, RIAN, and ZACK walk into the center of the stage.)


The DJ: Will you guys sing a song for us?


Alex: Alright, this song is called Outlines.


                                                  Alex
     I'M HALF REMEMBERED HALF WAY ACROSS THE WORLD.
TWICE REMOVED FROM MY SECOND HOME. THE SHADOW OF
A GHOST IN AN OLD HAUNT. WITH A LEASE ON LIFE 'CAUSE I
CAN'T AFFORD TO OWN. WHEN BEING YOUNG STARTS GETTING
OLD. NEW PLACE SAVES FACE OR SO I'M TOLD. BE THE NEW KID
ON AN OLD BLOCK. A CHALK OUTLINE ON A PLAYGROUND
BLACKTOP.
     I'M JUST A MOMENT, SO DON'T LET ME PASS YOU BY. WE
COULD BE A STORY IN THE MORNING, BUT WE'LL BE A LEGEND
TONIGHT. I'M JUST A MOMENT, SO DON'T LET ME PASS YOU
BY. AND THEY CAN SPEAK OUR NAMES IN A DEAD LANGUAGE
CAUSE YOU AND I, WE'RE ALIVE. BUT JUST FOR A MOMENT.
    I'M TWICE THE MAN THAT I THOUGHT I WAS YESTERDAY.
HALF THE TIME, I'M A WORLD AWAY. A FLICKER OF A SOUL
CASTING SILHOUETTES ON THE FACE OF A TOWN THAT COULD
NOT GET ME TO STAY. AND WHEN THE SPARKS GONE, FORMER
LOVERS, JUST LOOKING FOR A BUS TO THROW ME UNDER. I'LL
BE THE NEW KID ON AN OLD BLOCK. A CHALK OUTLINE ON A
PLAYGROUND BLACKTOP.
    I'M JUST A MOMENT, SO DON'T LET ME PASS YOU BY.
WE COULD BE A STORY IN THE MORNING, BUT WE'LL BE
A LEGEND TONIGHT. I'M JUST A MOMENT, SO DON'T LET
ME PASS YOU BY. AND THEY CAN SPEAK OUR NAMES IN
A DEAD LANGUAGE 'CAUSE YOU AND I WE'RE ALIVE. BUT
JUST FOR A MOMENT.
    WHEN BEING YOUNG STARTS GETTING OLD. A NEW
PLACE SAVES FACE OR SO I'M TOLD. I'LL BE THE NEW KID
ON AN OLD BLOCK. A CHALK OUTLINE ON A PLAYGROUND
BLACKTOP.
     I'M JUST A MOMENT, SO DON'T LET ME PASS YOU BY.
WE COULD BE A STORY IN THE MORNING, BUT A LEGEND
TONIGHT. I'M JUST A MOMENT SO DON'T LET ME PASS
YOU BY. THEY CAN SPEAK OUR NAMES IN A DEAD LANGUAGE.
'CAUSE YOU AND I, WE'RE ALIVE. BUT JUST FOR A MOMENT.
JUST FOR THE MOMENT. JUST FOR THE MOMENT.


Students: WooHoo! You rock! That was awesome! ect.


(ALEX walks over to WENDY)


Wendy: That was pretty awesome. You were great.


Jack: Hey what about me?


Wendy: You were good to Jack.


Alex: Wait Jack did any of your dates actually stay with you?


Jack: I stayed with myself.
