U/S SCOTT SIDE #1

THE 11 O'CLOCK SPOT - END OF THE DAY

Anita, Scott, Tracy, Jerry, Chloe, and Nigel sit
uncomfortably in a booth. They are clearly
exhausted. They are drinking.

NIGEL
Think of something that will keep Ivy Lynn out my hair for the
morning. Anything. Preferably something that helps the show.

They all think for a moment.

SCOTT
How about KewPeeDoll?

ANITA
No one knows what that is, Scott.

SCOTT
He's an influencer based in Stockholm who was in a show when
he was a kid called Little Shop of...

He scrolls and scrolls through his phone looking for

the title.
TRACY, JERRY, NIGEL, ANITA, CHLOE
HORRORS!

SCOTT
Horrors, right. Anyway he got hooked on the Broadway thing.
And now he has a YouTube channel with, like, 10 million
subscribers. Maybe he could interview Ivy - that would help
the show, wouldn't it?

ANITA
Bravo!

NIGEL
Great. It appeals to her vanity. It will work. Okay.
(taking a deep breath)
I made a reservation at Rosa Mexicano. We're gonna eat Chicken
Flautas and talk through the finale. Come.
ANITA
You guys go ahead. I need to talk to my director for a sec.

Jerry, Tracy, and Chloe leave. Scott and Nigel

remain.

THEATER, ONSTAGE - AFTER THAT EVENING'S PERFORMANCE

Nigel, Anita, Scott, Jerry and Tracy, with coats,

bags, etc, cross the stage on their way home. Jerry
and Tracy are on the outs. Scott is scrolling
through his phone.

TRACY
Well, she killed it again tonight. Ivy continues to deliver.
Talent. That's how you get your name above the title.

NIGEL
Yes, that and threatening to burn down the theatre.

SCOTT
(looking at this phone)
Wow. Reddit is on fire. Everybody's talking about Bombshell.

JERRY
Do they like the new opener?
SCOTT
They're not talking about what's in the show, they're talking
about what's happening backstage. They are saying it's a
"Troubled Production".
ANITA
Oh, that's not good. That doesn't sell tickets.

SCOTT
(consulting his phone)
Holy crap. People do not like you.

ANITA
Why?
NIGEL
Because we picked Ivy instead of Chloe. I've seen the posts.
They're saying we're misogynists, we're body-shamers, we're
evil.
TRACY
Who cares what some Incel on Reddit says about our show?
SCOTT
Well, it's also on X and Insta and Blue Sky and Discord and
Threads and YouTube and TikTok.

JERRY
My God.
SCOTT
It's not on Truth Social yet. Oh. Nope. There it is.

A STAGEHAND enters carrying the ghost light.

STAGEHAND
Are you done?

NIGEL
Give us a minute.

The Stagehand places the light center and leaves.

SCOTT
What is this weird-ass light?

ANITA
It's the ghost light, Scott. It keeps away the ghosts. It will
keep away your ghost after I kill you.

NIGEL
Okay. We have a perception problem and we are not leaving this
theatre until we come up with a solution. We should agree with
the trolls – say yes, this is a troubled production and it's
all because of one person.

ANITA
We can't fire Ivy. She threatened to burn down the theater!

TRACY
Then who?

NIGEL
It doesn't matter. Anyone besides Chloe or Ivy. We blame
someone, then fire them, and are troubled no longer.

JERRY
What? Fire anyone except the person who's destroying our
lives?

SCOTT
You could fire me.

ANITA
You're nothing, Scott. It has to be somebody with status to
mean anything. But thank you.

THE 11 O'CLOCK SPOT - MUCH LATER THAT NIGHT.

It's 2am. The opening night party is elsewhere.

Anita, Tracy, Jerry, Scott, Chloe and Nigel are all
looking at phones and newspapers. The gloom is heavy
in the air.

NIGEL
I told you so. I told you so. I told you so.

ANITA
Go ahead, gloat away. You called it; we went too dark and
now we won't last a month.

TRACY
(reading a newspaper)
God. These reviews are just so mean.

SCOTT
(looking at his phone)
You should see Reddit. Thousands of people are posting how
mad they are that you killed her.

TRACY
We didn't kill her! She died, naked and alone. That's
Marilyn's story! That's the story everybody knows.

SCOTT
I didn't know it. I had to look her up.

Ivy and Karen enter with newspapers. despondent.

IVY
Oh my God. This is all my fault, isn't it?

ANITA, TRACY, CHLOE, KAREN AND NIGEL

No, no, not at all.

JERRY
Mostly.
KAREN
Jerry, she apologized at the party.
CHLOE
To the entire company. Twice.

IVY
I can't help it; I'm just so sorry I ruined the show.
NIGEL
Honey, what ruined the show was the choice to end a comedy
with a naked corpse on a bed.

IVY
I'm finished. It's just too hard. Goodbye Broadway,
hello Linda Krabbe.

KAREN
I'm going to bake. No one goes on social media and calls my
cupcakes "a colossal misread of the zeitgeist".

CHLOE
Okay, you bake. I'll drink.

ANITA
And I'll join you.
(raising a glass)
To Bombshell: our last show.

They all clink glasses and drink. Except for Scott.

SCOTT
Wait a minute. What about Harold Prince?

ANITA
He's dead, Scott. Look it up.
SCOTT
I already did! The great Harold Prince, the guy that did
Fiddler and Forum and Cabaret and West Side; the biggest hits
in Broadway history. He said you open one, then you start
work on the next one right away. Sure you're going to have
your Rosa's and your Grinds, but if you just give up you'll
never have a Phantom!

ANITA
Where is Scott and what have you done with him?

SCOTT
SINCE THAT DAY IN THE BACKYARD YOU BUILT A STAGE
YOU KNEW YOU WERE BOUND FOR A SMASH
AND SINCE I'M BARELY MAKING THE MINIMUM WAGE
WELL, I NEED TO BE PART OF A SMASH
THROUGH EACH STOP AND EACH START
AND YOU STOMPING ON MY HEART

SCOTT (CONT)
WELL, I STILL FELL IN LOVE WITH THE SHOW
SO THOUGH YOU COULDN'T PERFECT IT
ONE DAY THEY MIGHT RESURRECT IT
SO YOU MUST NEVER QUIT
EVENTUALLY "MERRILY" WAS A HIT!
SO, LIKE A TRACK OR CASINO YOU'LL HIT THE BANK
WITHDRAWING YOUR LAST OUNCE OF CASH

KAREN
Isn't he a trust fund kid?

LIVING LIFE ON THE EDGE

TRACY
Who are you?

WATCHING YOU ALL TAKE THE DIVE
