Promise Lyrics

Promise Text

---

JASON
Promise...Webster's defines promise as
'a declaration that something will or will not be done'

IVY
Where have you been? Is this some stupid game?
I meant it when I said I need to talk to you

JASON
I understand, but Ivy, nothing's changed

IVY
You have no idea what I'm going through!

JASON
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!

IVY
That night...We weren't safe!
So tell me how we move on!

JASON
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

IVY
You know what I am saying!
I would never make this up
You're a winner, have your perfect back!
Way to go, you got me pregnant
Put that in your f**king speech!
It's one incredible guy who gives the facts!

JASON
sh*t...Why are you doing this to me?

IVY
We're in this together...

JASON
I've got to pull together...

IVY
We'll take it one step at a time...

JASON
This is what I wanted?
Tell me, tell me what to do...

IVY
Somehow we'll get through..
Jason, I still love you
Someday maybe...

JASON
Love me?

IVY
Someday maybe you can learn...
Maybe you can...

JASON
Maybe I can...

IVY
Maybe you can...

JASON / IVY
Learn to love you/me too...

IVY
Maybe...please...

MATT
Maybe he would love you
Maybe if he weren't that way
He wouldn't treat your feelings like his toy!
Maybe make you feel real special
Like I always wanted to!
But he's already in love with a boy!

IVY
What?

PETER
Am I late?
What's going on?

NADIA
Jason, have you seen Ivy?
I guess you have

JASON
You knew?

NADIA
Only since this afternoon!

PETER
Knew what?

MATT
Ivy's pregnant and your boyfriend's a dad!
So what does that make you?

JASON
What?

PETER
What the f**k are you talking about 'my boyfriend?'

MATT
Don't play dumb with me, Peter!

JASON
Get the f**k outta here, Matt!

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

JASON
Whatever, Matt, whatever you saw…

MATT
Ha! Are you gonna stand there and deny it?
I know

JASON
Oh? You know?

MATT
Yeah, I f**kin' know! Oh yeah!

IVY
Don't fight!

PETER
He knows, Jason...He knows because I told him…
It was after Ivy's birthday. We were drunk. I'm sorry...
No. You know what? I'm not.

IVY
Peter, what are you talking about? Jason, he's kidding right? Jason?

JASON
It's just that…
If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this

[Ivy slaps Matt?]

PETER
Don't…

JASON
Peter, I don't know what's going on...you gotta help me!

PETER
I tried…

JASON
You know what? Then f**k you, Peter! f**k you…
