It’s quiet this morning.
Not too quiet.
But it’s quiet.
Henry walks in.
Henry: One day more. Another day, another destiny. This never-ending road to calvary. These men who seem to know my crime will surely come a second time, one day more.
Scott walks in, followed by Olivia.
Scott: I did not live until today. How can I live when we are parted?
Henry: One day more.
Scott and Olivia: Tomorrow you’ll be worlds away. And yet, with you, my world has started.
Hannah walks in.
Hannah: One more day all on my own.
Scott and Olivia: Will we ever meet again?
Hannah: One more day with him not caring.
Scott and Olivia: I was born to be with you.
Hannah: What a life I might have known!
Scott and Olivia: And I swear I will be true.
Hannah: But he never saw me there.
Matt walks in.
Matt: One more day before the storm!
Scott: Do I follow where she goes?
Matt: At the barricades of freedom!
Scott: Shall I join my brothers there?
Matt: When our ranks begin to form…
Scott: Do I stay, and do I dare?
Matt: Will you take your place with me?
All: The time is now, the day is here!
Henry: One day more!
Michelle: One day more till revolution, we will nip it in the bud! We’ll be ready for these schoolboys, they will wet themselves with blood.
Henry: One day more!
Dazed and Kendria: Watch 'em run amuck, catch 'em as they fall, never know your luck when there's a free for all, here a little `dip', there a little `touch', most of them are goners so they won't miss much!
All: One day to a new beginning, raise the flag of freedom high. Every man will be a king, every man will be a king. There’s a new world for the winning, there’s a new world to be won. Do you hear the people sing?
Scott: My place is here, I fight with you!
Henry: One day more!
Scott and Olivia: I did not live until today.
Hannah: One more day all on my own.
Scott and Olivia: How can I live when we are parted?
Michelle: I will join these people's heroes, I will follow where they go. I will learn their little secrets, I will know the things they know.
Henry: One day more!
Scott and Olivia: Tomorrow you’ll be worlds away.
Hannah: What a life I might have known!
Scott and Olivia: And yet with you my world has started.
Michelle: One day more till revolution, we will nip it in the bud! We’ll be ready for these schoolboys…
Dazed and Kendria: Watch 'em run amuck, catch 'em as they fall, never know your luck when there's a free for all.
Henry: Tomorrow we’ll be far away, tomorrow is the judgment day.
All: Tomorrow we’ll discover what our G-d in heaven has in store! One more dawn, one more day…
It’s quiet this morning.
I just got here a second ago. Jacob got here a second later. The lights are on. We’re basically the only ones here.
Marty gets up to go get a bagel. The “One Day More” YouTube video Jacob is watching ends. Grace enters, but leaves. Kelsey and Kate enter, try to leave, and are stopped by Marty. JV enters.
Marty: We can’t blog today. The blog will just suck. No one here has anything worthwhile to say.
Jacob: Yeah, that’s true.
Marty: Maybe it’ll be this way for a while.
Kelsey sings along to “Only the Good Die Young” by Billy Joel.
Marty: Maybe it’ll be this way for a while.
For a while.
A while.
In a while.
In a while we’ll be back here.
In a while we might not all remember each other.
In a while people can seem a bit different.
But I still remember the last three words he said.
: …one day more.
