Jesus of Suburbia
I: Jesus of Suburbia:
*School about three o’clock*
*Pyro sighed and looks out the window*
Teacher: So if there is any questions, please raise your hands to ask.
*Pyro raises her hand*
Teacher: *Already regretting what’s about to come next* Yes, Pauline?
*Pyro stands up*
Pyro: Don’t you ever shut the fuck?
*The teacher pretends not to hear her*
Teacher: Excuse me?
Pyro: Why can’t you just shut the fuck up? Nobody cares about what you have to say day after day. I’m surprised that I haven’t killed myself from the boredom.
*The class bursts into laughter*
*The teachers grits his teeth*
Teacher: Not another word out of you…
*Pyro raises an eyebrow at him with her hands on her hips*
Pyro: Or what, shithead?
*The teacher opens his mouth, but the bell rings*
*Pyro leaves with the other students*
Teacher: Pauline, come back here right now!
*Pyro flips him off as she walks out the door*
II: City of the Damned:
*Pyro sits around the park, frowning*
Pyro: I hate my school. I hate this city!
*She reaches in her pocket for her lighter*
Pyro: Damn it all. I just want it to burn.
*She flips it open and stares at the flame*
*Pyro smiles at the glow*
Mom at park: Hey, you shouldn’t be playing with that.
*Pyro looks up at her, glaring*
Pyro: Mind your own damn business, bitch!
*Clicks her lighter on and off*
Pyro: *Rolls her eyes* I hate people.
III: I Don’t Care:
*At the Peterson family dinner table*
Peggy Peterson: So, how was your day, honey?
*Her husband groans*
Peter Peterson: Utter crap!
Peggy: Aw, what happened, baby?
Peter: Had to fire more interns.
Peggy: What did they do?
*Peter cuts his steak*
Peter: They are just being stupid. How was your day?
Peggy: Oh, you know. Just playing bridge with the girls and shopping.
Peter: Oh.
*Pyro and Patricia sit, eating in silence*
*Pyro: *Rolls her eyes* Nobody gives a fuck.
*Shoves more food into her mouth*
IV: Dearly Beloved:
*Pyro lies on her bed staring at the ceiling*
Pyro: They all suck.
*She has her lighter clutched in her hand*
*Piano playing is heard downstairs*
Peggy: You are so good, Pattie!
*Pyro rolls her eyes*
Pyro: Pattie this, Pattie that. Fuck her, man! She’s not that great.
*She buries her face in the pillow as the piano keeps playing*
Pyro: Shut up already!
V: Tales of Another Broken Home:
*Pyro sits in the corner of her room, playing with her lighter*
Pyro: They’re all liars. Mom and dad pretend to be happy. Dad hates his company and all the workers. His partners are all dicks and he keeps fucking his secretaries.
*She clicks her lighter again*
Pyro: Mom only cares about herself. She just drinks, plays cards, and flirts with younger men. Then, there’s Pattie…
*A knock comes on her bedroom door*
Pyro: What is it?
Pattie: It’s only me.
VI: Sister to Sister:
*Pyro rolls her eyes*
Pyro: What do you want?
Pattie: Can I come in?
*Pyro grits her teeth*
Pyro: Why?
Pattie: I just want to tell you something.
Pyro: What is it?
Pattie: I just want to let you know that I don’t hate you. You are my sister and I love you.
*Pyro lies on the floor*
Pyro: Anything else?
Pattie: Good night.
*She walks away from the door*
*Pyro snorted to herself*
VII: The Other Sister:
*Pattie talks on the phone in her room*
Friend on the phone: How can you stand to be related to that little psycho?
Pattie: It’s not that bad.
Friend: What?! Why do you see that? She’s going to end up being a serial killer!
*Pattie shakes her head*
Pattie: Nah, I don’t want her to change.
Friend: Why?
*Pattie lies back on her bed*
Pattie: Because, when she does something, everyone pays attention to her and I can breathe.
Friend: You mean…?
*Pattie nods*
Pattie: Yep.
VIII: Dark Cloud:
-Meanwhile in the Hospital-
*Karen waits for the doctor’s office*
*The doctor walks in*
Karen: So, doctor, what’s the big problem?
*The doctor shakes his head*
Doctor: It’s not good…
