Promise - Cast Recording

Promise…

Webster’s defines promise as a declaration

That something will or will not be done

Where have you been?

Is this some stupid game?

I meant it when I said I need to talk to you!

I understand, but Ivy, nothing’s changed

You have no idea what I’m going through

I’ll say it one more time

I’m sorry I don’t feel the same

We had ourselves a moment, but it’s gone

My head’s in thirty different places

Please, just try to understand

Let’s leave things at that and just move on

That night…

We weren’t safe

So tell me how we move on

I don’t know what it is you want from me

I don’t have time to hear whatever tale you’ve spun

I have to write this speech before tonight

Plus, there are all these scenes I have to run

You know what I am saying

I would never make this up

You’re a winner, pat your perfect back

Way to go, you got me pregnant

Put that in your fucking speech

They wanted real

Well, God, you’ll give them that!

Shit

Why are you doing this to me?

Shit

But we’re in this together…

I’ve got to pull together…

We’ll take it one step at a time…

Is this what I wanted?

Tell me, tell me what to do…

Somehow we’ll get through

Jason, I still love you

Someday maybe…

Love me?

Someday maybe you can learn

Maybe you can…

Maybe I can…

Maybe you can…

Learn to love you too

Learn to love me too

Maybe

Please

Maybe he would love you

Maybe if he weren’t that way,

He wouldn’t treat your feelings like his toy

Maybe he’d make you feel real special

Like I always wanted to

But he’s already in love with a boy

What?

Am I late?

What’s going on?

Jason, have you seen Ivy?

I guess you have

You knew?

Only since this afternoon

Knew what?

Ivy’s pregnant and your boyfriend’s the dad

So what does that make you?

She’s what?

What the fuck are you talking about, 'my boyfriend?'

Don’t play dumb with me, Peter

Get the fuck outta here, Matt

Should I tell them what I saw at the rave?

Look, I’m not here to judge

Just keep everyone on the same page

And, hey, I think I found that strong opening

You were looking for in your speech

Whatever, Matt, whatever you saw, it was a rave

Are you gonna stand there and deny it?

I know

You know, huh?

You fucking know, huh?

What the fuck do you know?

He knows, Jason…

He knows 'cause I told him…

It was after Ivy’s birthday, we were drunk

I’m sorry…

No. You know what?

I’m not

What is going on, Peter?

Jason, is he kidding?

Jason?

Look… Let’s just run this scene

(sung)

If I profane with my unworthiest hand

This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this

Peter…

Don’t…

Peter, I don’t know understand what’s happening

I don’t know what to do, you have to help me

I tried…

Wait, you know what then?

Fuck you, Peter!

Fuck you!

Jason, I don’t know what to tell you

Here’s one idea:

I’d rule out calling Dad

I’ve thought it through and I confess

I can’t see through this mess

Maybe being single’s not so bad

But you can solve this

I know you can

Don’t forget that

Take my hand

Tell me what to do

Or what to say

Somehow we’ll get through

We’ll find a way

Yeah, thanks, I know

Can you leave me alone?

I don’t mean to be mean…

I just… I ca--

Sure

Call me tonight, or tomorrow, or whenever

Just call me…
