Nerd Love One Act Scene 2& 3

Scene 2- Auditorium

Narrator- Dylan and Lydia were having problems already so Virginia getting into the midst of this was not going to help and Marc would only complicate things.

Dylan- Why do you spend so much time with him?

Lydia- He is my kind of guy.

Dylan- You mean dumb?

Lydia- No, I mean mysterious. I mean makes me laugh and can be romantic in a serious manner.

Dylan- I am a more of a funny guy.

Lydia- I know. I love you, but I want a serious relationship.

Dylan- Do you mean…?

Lydia- No. I mean something that is deep and passionate.

Dylan- I don’t do deep and passionate.

Lydia- Uh, yes you do. Virginia.

Dylan- She needed me.

Lydia- Of course.

Dylan- I love you.

Lydia- Pick a duet.

Dylan- Okay. (He strums I Don’t Wanna Know by Fleetwood Mac, but it is more like the Glee version.)

Lydia- I think you should see other people.

Dylan- That implies you are already seeing someone else.

Lydia- I am not. I just want to.

Dylan- Like you just want to end your sentence in a preposition.

Lydia- Yes.

Dylan- I love you.

Lydia- You betrayed me.

Dylan- I love you.

Lydia- You think you do.

Dylan- I love you more than I love my guitar. I love you more than I love Ben Folds’ music. I love you more than anything.

Lydia- Enough to not be friends with Virginia?

Dylan- Yes.

Lydia- Okay you get another shot.

Scene 3- Courtyard

(Virginia sits at the lunch table by herself. Dylan comes over.)

Dylan- Lydia wants me to not hang out with you.

Virginia- Oh god.

Dylan- Relax. I told her yes, but you need me.

Virginia- You would go against her for me?

Dylan- Yes. Lydia can’t know.

Virginia- I feel so special.

Dylan- You should. I came all the way from the auditorium to get here just to sing with Regina Spektor slash Virginia I Don’t Know Your Last Name.

Virginia- Morrison.

Dylan- I am Ben Folds slash Dylan Robinson.

Virginia- Lydia would just keep her last name right?

Dylan- Lydia Moonbeam is more pretty than Lydia Robinson.

Virginia- What did you want to sing?

Dylan- I don’t know. Something us.

Virginia- You’ve Got a Friend?

Dylan- Too friendzone. Maybe I should sing something to you. (plays if I Needed Someone and sings to Virginia. She sings back-up. The two continuously look at each other.)

Virginia- Are  serious?

(Dylan leaves.)

Virginia- (sighs) I thought so.

(Lydia enters)

Lydia- Really? He was here, wasn’t he?

Virginia- You heard us?

Lydia- Of course. How couldn’t I?

Virginia- I don’t know.

Lydia- You are stealing him.

Virginia- I could easily say the same thing with Marc.

Lydia- You two broke up. And it was just one kiss.

Virginia- And you are telling me I am in the way?

Lydia- I like Marc. It was a stage kiss.

Virginia- You two need to leave each other.

Lydia- You have got to be kidding me. You are telling me what to do.

Virginia- You ignore confrontation and ignore when things are blatantly shoved in your face!

Lydia- I still don’t waltz around with other people’s boyfriends and sing songs!

Virginia- He called me his Regina Spektor. They never had any romantic relationship but…

Lydia- (broken) I know what he meant. (runs off stage)
